We are glad to see that the cars of the
York road line are being cleaned up and made
more comfortable, and there is evident dis
position on the part Of Mr.. Sanks, the new su-

the fact that there is talk of running cars to Wa
verly every ten minutes instead OF at intervals OF
fifteen minutes, as at present.

within doors more than compensated for these
trifing diseomforts. The party returned to the

The School Board has established school
near Mt. Vernon mills, which will be opened Feb
lst, 1885. This school is made necessary on ac-
count of the excess of children attending the two
schools in the neighborhood, one at Hampden and
the other at st. Thomas's Catholic church. The
people have for years made repeated unsuccessful
efforts to have a school established at that place.
and now, through the efforts of Commissioners
Clark of the 9th district this long felt educational
want has at least been supplied.

Free Debating Society" of the vicinity of Fuller

challenged by city society and asks us to furnish
a question for debate when the two meet. He
then furnishes us with list Of about fifty ques-
tions that his society has already discussed
pair of gum shoes or a linen duster." Now, any
society that has the ingenuity to invent ques-
tion like that, and discuss it, should not 60 mon
keying around asking other people to help them
cut We can't see it. We give it up.
