have created a peculiar situation in De-
Grey township, this county. The town

school building The question at issue
was which Of the buildings should. be
the one in which school was to be held.
The one selected did not suit some pa
irons inpoint of location, and one night
they quietly put the building on wheels
and hauled it to a point. where it would
be more convenient for their children to
attend school. The teacher and pupils
found the building on the new site the
next morning, and went on with their
work, but the patrons, who reside near
the old site were not satisfied, making
