frosts come now little, if any, damage
could be done. The apples already
have attained the size of marbles, and

that unless a frost came somewhere
about zero, it would not be possible for
the crop to receive any injury. The
same may be said of pears, cherries
and plums. With regard to small fruits
they are so far matured that straw

Examinations, East Rnrou.
The following are the numbers of
candidates writing at the various ex-
aminations centres in East Huron on
High School work : Clinton, 138; Sea-
forth, 117; Wingham 23 and Brussels
22; a total of 295. The fees collected
to pay the expenses of these examina-
tions are as follows : Clinton, $672;
Se'aforth, $528; Wingham, $79, and
Brussels $88; a total of $1367. The
Educational Department receives for
reading papers, etc., from Clinton, $382;
from Seaforth, $298: from Wingham,
$43, and from Brussels, $49; a total of
$772. The school boards receive for
presiding examiners, paper, ink, etc.,
as follows: Clinton, $290; Seaforth,
$230; Wingham, $36, and Brussels, $89 ;
a total of $595. Of the 295 candidates
writing, 65 were prepared in the Pub-
lic Schools, and 230 in the two Colleg
late Institutes. • From this it will be
seen that the number writing, at a
given centre contains many that were
not prepared at that school. During the
first week in July about 500 candidates
for Entrance to High Schools and Pub-
lic School Leaving certificates will also
write in East Huron, The Little Red

despised.
