D. llorrisou auu in the chair. ,Tho School Committee met on Monday evening. Mr. Richard Williams in the chair. From the report of the teacher, there are forty scholars on the roll, and a resolution was comr to, to apply for this to be proclaimed a district school, in accordance with the Ordinance. There being no other business before the meeting except that, which was merely formal, the meeting was adjourned. One of our neighbors, Mr. M'lntosh, "of ilunroe's, lost a valuable horse, the second within six months, by falling into a hole— v very frequent occurrence here. Many valuable cows and horses have been lost in the same way. Mr. M'lntosh was a very heavy sufferer by the lo3s of nine or ton cows last year. Surely this is a case for the philanthropist, which is quite as bad aS if ho had been deprived of them by a floodIt is very desirable that something should be done by. the Goldfiulds Commission about to be elected, f=o that such holes should be filled up. Many of our miners would become cattle owners but for this danger.
