ENTERTAINMENT.
The regular semi-annual meeting of
the North Huron Teachers' Associa-
tion wad held in the central school, in
this town, on Thursday and Friday of
last week. There was a large attend-
ance of teachers from all over this sec-
tion of the county, and the meeting
proved a most interesting and instruct-
ive one. The president of the associa-
tion, Mr. Malloch, of Clinton, occu-
pied the :Bair.
TIiURSDAY.
On the opening of the meeting on
Thursday communications were read
from Messrs. Turnbull and Robb, of
Clinton, and Rev. R. McCosb, of Wing -
ham, regretting their inability to be
present. A valedictory from R. Hen-
deison, late principal of the Blyth
school, was alio read, and on motion
of Mr. Groves, of Wingliam, seconded
by Mr. McPherson, of Turnberry, a
committee consisting of the president
and Messrs. McClinton and W. H.
Stewart were appointed to draft a
resolution expressive of the feelings of
the association with reference to Mr.
Henderson's withdrawl from the
teaching profession. The president
then gave his notes by the way, or
jottings made during his official visits
to the schools, which was a highly
interesting paper, and for which he
received a vote of thanks. Miss B.
H. Reynolds, of the '!gingham public
school, read an essay on "Music,"
which was really a clever and able
effort, and for which she was accorded
a vote of thanks. Mr. Groves, prin-
cipal of the Winghain public school,
then took up his method of "Teaching
geometry to beginners," to a class
which had passed the entrance exam-
ination in July. The class acquitted Miss Johnston.

to be sent to a leading educational
journal for publication.
FRIDAY.
The second day's proceedings were
opened by W. A. Stewart, who read
an interesting essay on "Love of
School," which brought out any
amount of discussion from Messrs.
Halliday, Groves, Carnyn, Knight,

On Thursday evening an entertains
ment was held in the town hall under,.
the auspices of the association. The
hall was crowded and it was one of
the most successful concerts ever
given in town. The town band and
orchestra were present and rendered"
• valuable assistance. In the absence
• of the president and vise -president,
the secretary, Mr. Groves, occupied
-the chair, the duties of which office be
acquitted in a pleasant and happy
manner. The programme was an ex-
cellent one, sad our local talent was
ably assisted by Miss Johnston, of
Seaforth, who is always heartily web
coined by a Wingham audience.
Where every one acquitted themselves
in a highly creditable manner, it is
scarcely necessary, and would be very
difficult to particularize, suffice it: that
we give the programme as rendered:

Some time ago a proposal was made
to start a literary society in this
neighborhood. A meeting was held
at the close of the weekly prayer
meeting on Wednesday last, when it
was resolved to have the first regular
meeting and organize fully on the
evening of Friday 23rd.

One day last week as Jas. William-
son was removing a cew he had pur-
chased from Mr. Tyner the animal
became infuriated and rushed at the
man in charge. She soon became un-
manageable and the neighbors gather-
ed round to see the fun and share the
dangers, till in a very little while
eight men and a good proportion of
dogs were in action. Many and varied
were the plans tried to bring her
down by axe, bludgeon and pistol, till
at last, after about half a day spent in
the endeavor, one yeoman, the bravest
of thein all, settled her with a shot
gun. Several of the party had hair-
breadth escapes, but fortunately no- ;fences
body was hurt.

The extensive roller flouring and
saw mills belonging to Kyle sk Must-
ard, at Egmondville, were completely
destroyed by fire last week, together
with their contents, causing a loss of
$85,000. There is some talk of re-
building immediately.
Ann Fitzakerly, of Brussels, com-
mitted suicide a few days ago by tali-

years of age. She was a sister of Geo.

changed - so much since then that he

sum.
