3 -GREEN* CHRISTMAS.
It is said that " a green. Christmas
makes a fat church -yard." If this be
true undertakers this year will have as
much as they can do. We are' at a loss
to know why a green Christmas should
be so detrimental to the health of the
community, so long. as the sanitary
state of the community is in prover re.
pair:. There are .many places in the old
country where rain at. alliaPariocl of the
year is e;l,undant,:and it lodging and
falling in 4ow, damp marshes and bogs
forms a miasma, which sends forth its
feverish effluvia .to deal death and de-
struction on all whorl it lays its hands.
No doubt were the wet' -season in Can-
ada to come at this time of year and the
weather permit the water to forum pools
and mud -holes, -holes, plyingplying to the damp,
•chilly nights, our situaton and position
.would not be an enviable one. Even as
it is, safety frond disease does not lurk
in back -yards, which compare (when
washed to the mud) With the surround-
ing patches of ::now but very miserably.
Now the opportuuit:y"is offered to thosewho did not e-,lrbrace it in ;the fall

the pleasure of making that gentleman
the recipient of a purse and $103. Dr.
Irving read the fokowtng address, to
which the worthy recipient replied iu
able and appropriate terms when the

of receiving so many shekels in SO feW
minutes is takeninto consideration :—
REV. AND DE.AR STR.—We have met

evening. Duriug the short time you
have been in our midst, you have made
yourself active in promoting every good

side of it you have at all times proved
yourself ready to aid any cause for our

Many of us not being members of your

S0101 OL EXAMINATION., -7-1:110 final ex-
aulimaion fur the year of the' sehool
section No. 1, ,USborne, was held on
the 22nd filet. The day being fine, a
number of visitors was. present. The
A. M., and during the °hare day was
kept up \vith groat iotoecist. and also
during the nomi hotly, for the ladies of
eection gave a practical lesson in
eve, would have been appreeiated even
bY Dr; Ryerson himself. As the Dr,
was not present, tho other' great men
who were did justice to the bread and
batter, ike. Mr. Currie, the teacher of
the school, was very ably assisted by
the teachers of the surroundiug see -
tions, viz :—By 'Messrs. Weir, „Strang,
1-11:M011 ChtS0 alld Thos. Blatchford.—
The teachers, though men of experience
in teaching, felt somewhat nervous, but
the pupils presented themselves for ex-
amination fearlessly anti without the
least embarrassment. A noticeable fea-
ture in the examivation was the prompt-
ness and accuracy of the answers of the
pupils, and in no class, from the first to
the filth, was there a failurt? in any
branch whatever. The groat suceess of
the school reflects great credit on tbe
teachers—Mr. Currie,Miss Strang --and
the pupils. The trustees have shown
the soundness of their jnagments in
engaging the services of Mr. Carrie for
the coming year. When the examina-
tion was completed Mr. R. IVeir was
called to preside over the meeting, after
which the children gave readings, reci-
tations and dialogues. The teachers
and parents gave words of meow-ago-
ment to the children and teachers of
the school. - Visrron.
