Skins of apples, grapes, and other fruit are tougher than last wine; corn husks are thicker and stronger than for years; wheat and rye straw is tougher; hay is wiryer, and seed pods ate better pro- tected than usual, antlegays these are old farmers' signs, and they are good, ones because they don't come from any moon -planting superstition, but from actual observation year by year. The Stailioultaee. The stallion race between "Tontine" owned by Mr. John Beacom, of Clinton, and "Moonlightr owned by O'Neil Sr" Ferguson, of London, took place at London on Saturday. The race was for $1,0b0,00, 500 aside. The race ,was void of all special interest, as Tontine had to much speed for his opponent, thus winning the race by three straight heats. Time -8.01, 2.57,2.54 Tontine is now: king bf the thrf in Western Ontario. Judge'sCourt. James Trengrove was, on 'Wednesday of las.t week charged, before Ms Honor Judge Toms at Goderich, with horse stealing by 'Wm. Cornish, of Usborne. It appeare that Teen oTove 'and*Cornish had traded horses and the agreement was that if the former was dissatisfied he could return the animal he get to Cornish any time inside of a week. He did not do so within the time spat:Hied, but subsequently, at night, went to Cornish's and took Ms own horse, leav- ing the other. The jtidge lqeld that there was ne feloey in the transaetion, as prescribed by the regulations, covered too and Trengreve was discharged. ' n uch round ' r Mr. G. W.

The Association in et pursuant to adjourn- ment. me minutes of the last session, ware read and ailopted. The first subject called. for discussion was "TypeQueStions h Arithmetic," which, in the absence of those intended to take it up, was introduced by G. Wollohnan who mud that. in a great many instanced 'too much time was consumed in method, when the result Was the main. thing sought. Ha did not think it was right fto 4axarairiere to set up a standard. As long at it could be seen that the pupils bad anintalligentcorti.option of the principles involvedit was suffieient. The discussion became general and wag taken part in by A. S. Moore. B. A., IL L Strang, B. A.,G. Sheppard, It. E. Brown, J. Turner, A. Sheppard, and others. Several good methods of solution were given. and the discussion proved profitable and inter- esting. The main point adduced was that arithmetic should be taught net only for ite commerciarvalue in calculation but for its value in mental drill. Mr. 18. 1. Strang, 73. A., then introduced a discussion on ',Written Examinations," and addressed the Association at soma 'length, commending on the whole their uNefulness, when not employed too extensively. The discussion_3vas further continued by Itlesars.Brown, Richardson and Beacham, all speaking in favor of such examinationa. when conducted judiciously. A discussion on Entrance and Teachers' Examinations was the next in order called. The first speaker was mer S. P. Halls, B. A., who Said. that the papers set at - the recent examinations on the whole web veryfair with the exception of the Physics for third class, and geography for second. classBoth of these papers were difficult and entirely beyond..the course expected to be,covered by candidates for those examinations. Botany he thought, NV1W ft little too much under the control of the presiding examiner, who some times ddx,ot aeleCti a, very suitable specimen for the practical work. Mr. G. W. Holtman, who was the next on this subject, thought that an improvement I, being made in the preparation of papers. Hitherto there had been a disposition on the part of the examiners to set catch .questions add such should be avoided. The examinat- ions should be plain, and no attempt imade to deceiyorthe candidate. Mr. H.1. Strong,' 33. A.. read from the reg- ulations to sltpw the recent changes affect- ing future examinations, and referred to the importance ofqnforcing. correct spelling, and gramatical co nstructuon as great stress would belaid on thesein merking all sub- jects. Candidates were foo prone to hurry over the werk in a. rough way, beadles& of spelling or gramatical accuracy, and the new method would tend to arrest the erl.or. Besides it is deemed. wise to follow such strict course. English to ever to take a high position on, the course of studies for high grade work. On the whole he thought the recent examinations ;were an improvement on the past Mr A. J., Moore 73.
