and man' privilege a.,,na responsibility,
showing that God's word under the
leading of the Holy Spirit is Man's
only sure guide ; Mr Holmes was

has been faithful in his new duties,
and to far as known has given sots -
faction, both to the public .and the

keep one io the building from 9 o'e'oca
in the inorninguntil 9 CVO& at night, ,
and in time the occupant becomes a
bookavonn and .nothitig else, It is
understood ,that Mr Melloberts has
been sounding the members of the
board of education ;With a view besot-
ting back on the teaching staff. He is
recognized as a Wendel teachers and
the board will only be too glad -to
place litre, if it poesible to do so..
There will beat vacancy in King ;street
school itt the end of the term, as Prin-
cipal Chapman has resigned, and it
may be that Mr McRoberts will be
appointed to this school if he finally

ship. It Wes stated that Principe'
'Kirk, of Aberdeen school, who is
known its one of the ;most- effleient
teachers in the employ of the board, is
suffering front ill-health,'and is likely
to oat fn r a period of rest. There is a,
possibility that Mr McRoberts might
besappointed to this school during Mr
Kirk% Absence, if the former is willine
tf Mr McRoberts should change his
Mind and decide to stay with the lib-
ritry board, then it is said that Prin-
cipal Campbell, of Byronschool,stinds
An eiceellent chance of securing a, po-
sition on the local teaching staff; as
one of the inale assistants will be ap.
pointed to fill afr Chapman's plate,
and Mr Oitinpbeil Will be appointed a
male assistant,
[Since the above Was in type, it is
