endeavoring to make it more widely
known and will not rest content until it
has been inspected by at Ieast the ma-
jority of those liying within ten or fif-

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Vio Lui.lxy il::x.aber,
tin ��ew !'ear's Eve, as previously au-
nouucod, ' Beauty," the pony which has
been in the window of the "Big Bankrupt
-Store" for some months was tt a given away to
the lnckv cnesser. At 8 o'clock Messrs.
R. E. Collins, B. S. O'Neil and M. J. White
-witnessed the opening of the jar containing
the buttons, and prosecuted the count.
'The task was, no doubt, a tiresome one,
and while in progress the large crowd of
people seemed quite interested, and watch-
ed the count intently. The count •finish-
ed, the register was exagrad and when
the date Oct, 7 was reached, it was found
that Mr. E. Samwell, ot the llolsons Bank,
had guessed the correct number, 865, and
was thus entitled to the pony, Farther on
in the register it was found that Mr. J. G.
Emery had also guessed the correct num-
ber; but according to the conditions his
guess was iegistered too late. The num-
ber of guessers being large, there were, no
doubt, many disappointed people, as the
faces of those present indicated when the
result was announced. The scheme was a
popular one and was conducted with fair-
ness throughout.

assistant; which •mounts shall be aggre-
gated and levied on thetownship: ae a

general levy than they will draw out.
Officers Installed.
At the meeting of the I. 0. 0. F, on

Crocker. After the regular meeting was
over Bro D D G M McDairmid called the
Distr,tat meeting to order and representa
tives ffom the various lodges in the county
were present. After the business was con-
cluded the whole of the Brethren sat down
to an oyster supper, whioh was prepared
in a very able manner by Bro F. Knight.
The Wheat Supply,
Many of the farmers in this locality have
marketed nearly all their wheat and in
this we think they have possibly acted
wisely for the prospects are not very fav-
orable to a rise in prices. The crop in
Manitoba is far above the estimate, and
the mild weather is enabling the farmers
to thresh and market it, and it is being
shipped out rapidly, the weather being
also favorable for railroading, These cir-
cumstances will tend to keep the prices
down, and the farmers who sell now wit'
likely do as well as those who hold. The
export of grain is now more than doable
what it was last year at this date.
Shooting Match. �—
On Friday last (New Year's Day) a clay
pigeon shooting match took place at the
south-east end of the town. Sides were
chosen by Mears, Fred Collins and David
Johns, each man shooting at 15 birds. As
the day was very windy, the score was not
as high as it would, no doubt, have been
had the weather been more favorable, Mr.

Death. of J. W. Manning 91' Toronto.
Mr. J. W. Manning, Provincial lnepec-
tor of licenses, died at hie residence, 72
Brunswick avenue, Toronto, at noon on
Monday His death was caused by pneu-
monia and was entirely unexueocecl, as he
was sufficiently strong to walk about un-
til the afternoon of Christmas day. He
had been troubled with bronchitis for many
years, the weak condition of his lungs
being the cause of his retiring from the
ministry of the Baptist Church about
twelve years ago, when he took the posi-
tion of Provincial Liceneo Inspector. Mr.
Manning was co years of age at his death.
Deceased was the father of Mrs. (f)r.)
Amos of Exeter, and what made the cir-
cumstance of his death doubly distressing,
was the fact that his wife, for years an
invalid, is very low, and a married daugh
ter was also ill in the house.
Important to Parcnta.
Some sort of explanation is probably
duo the parents and ratepayers of this.
incorporation regarding the changes
made in classification and promotion, at
the request of the Inspector during his
last visit. Formerly there were four
classes in the third reader and conse-
quently it required two years to com-
plete it, providing the pupil was pro-
moted every term. This we considered
an unwise arrangement and was one of
the causes for the change, Formerly
the lower rooms were much crowded and
something had to •bo done to relieve
them. The following; tame will probably
show more clearly what has been done
in. this matter. You have here the at-
tendance for each room for both terms
of
began 1891,the number we this year
with and the standard we wish to adopt.

Froin this will be seen that some
rooms were much over crowded and a
change necessary. :No pupils have been
put back but simply placed in newly
formed classes while a large number
have been promoted. Trusting that
this explanation may be satisfactory to
all, and extending to all a hearty invita-
tion to visit us occasionally, Tam

In Dover, England, certain persons,
suffering from influenza, have been fined
$25 apieceforappearing in public places.
A Dover magistrate would fine a man for
having a cold in public. Is the grip to be
the ruin of English liberty? And yet
influenza, being infectious, ought to bo
subject of quarantine.

The Icelanders in the Northwest are
doing so well that a movement, is on foot
to bring nlore people from that regionto
the Dominion. The population of Ice-
land amounts to about 75,000, of which
the, capital, Reikjavik, comprises not
more than 8,000. Fos this population,
it is needless to say, there is ample
room in Western Canada,and to Canada
those who look to emigration as the only
cure for their ills :would naturally wish
to conte. Already, however, our neigh-
bors have boon making efforts to divert
the route of the exodus to the Western
States, and if the Dominion is to have
this accession of strength, or whatever
proportion of it may finally decide to
luake trial of the dery world no time
shoeld be lost and no effort should bo
spared to give Canada the benefit of it.
