Several wells in town went dry during the past few day'. Th a is unusual at this time of the year, but is accounted for by the fact of the fall having been a dry one.

It was argued that too onset attention was given to pupils preparing, for examinations, and not enough to farmers sone of maturer age, who go into the aehools just for the winter season. Luring the half day re. commended to be devoted to them, the younger soholara may he dismissed or put under the charge of an advanced pupil. Every farmer's eon before he Bnally leaves school should be able to properly keep the records of the farm; to estimate the num- her of acres in a told; the cords of wood in a tree: the quantity of atone in a wall; the tons of hay se a stack; the bush of grain in a hit,; the gallons of water in a well or cistern, the pounds of dressed meat in an animal and suehliike matters.

Brother Colwell at ono time of Elie Mit- chell News, has started a paper in Leam- ington, to be known as "The Times."

With a family of 25, the newspaper busi- ness will he of little avail as for support, and well might Mr. C. say that be expects only to make a living. We wish him suc- cess, however.
