\ confirmation Of the strange report that \
shower of fish had fallen on the fourth conces-
sion of Harwich township is given by aschool
teacher of the neighborhood, who testitcs to
what he saw as follows:
Having dismissed the children for the day,
was returning to my boarding place, when,
with side glance, discovered something in
the grass. At first | thought ii was some spe-
cics of rattcsnake, but upon more careful scru-
tiny, | found it was Il fine firm, fresh fish OF
the pckcrcl species. Having been brought up
at the sea shore | knew at once the fish was
good, and picked it up while wondering
whence il came. My establishment was in
creased, however, when stepping on u few
wards further | found another equally good.
A few steps further on one more, and then

UTICA. Nov

UTICA, Nov %, 1917.
District No . is now without II teacher
while IN reality school should have been in
progress there during the past two weeks. The
directors, Mcssrs. Strawn and Rhodes, claim
that Mr.. McKenley, of Ottawa, verbally
agreed 10 teach the said school the coming four
months but that Mr. Nick has now better
office, perhaps, and claims he is deaf and on
that account unable to perform the duties of u
teacher. So now the directors, like Horace
waiting for his deer, are patiently awaiting the
onslaught of those dear creatures called school
narm, that they may put in their bids and
know OF their acceptance or rejection, rs the
case may be. But report has it that the d.
rcctors are indifferent whether they hire a
teacher this winter or not They should re
member that they do not comprise M the peo
pie Of District No. ., Utica township, nor are
they the Trainers Of the school law When Mr..
McKcnley closed the school room door for the
last time it would have been well if he had
locked it and thrown away the key The next
teacher Of VIC have one will, perhaps, do what
most all teachers practice, put the scholars so
far back in their studies that when the four
months are ended they will find themselves
Just where they should have begun.
Quite little excitement prevails in Utica
today, In the last six hours the river has
risen eight inches and the farmers along the
bottom who have yet corn to be huskcd feel
very uneasy. In some places the water is up
about the corn stalks and fears are entertained
that before three days half of the bottom land
