(1) The principal of the school must hold a first or second class certificate. (2) theie must be au least one legally qualified assistant. It is expected that Euclid and Alga bra will be added to this examination for 1894 and that the literature will be redueed in quantity. When this is done, many of the.pupils in our rural schools will no doubt take the P. S. Leaving exam. before attending the High School or. Collegiate Institute We understand that the headmasters of our Collegiate Institutes will admit those holding P. S. Lea ging certificates to the third room of their schools with out further examination. This will saye the candidates about two years at the High School and will leave them at home at a time when they should be under the especial care of their parents We believe this will be a gain to both the Public Schools and the High Schools. It is certainly a gain to the parents. To pass, the candidates required to make at least 50'f, of the total, i.e., 500 marks and 33;t /, of each paper. The following is the list of the suc- cessful candidates at the diifereut ex- amination centres, the schools where' they were educated, and the total num- ber of marks obtained.

A very exciting and rather amusing race took place on Tuesday night last. The same came off on the `Methodist Race Track " situated one mile north of here, owned and kept in shape by William Essery and James Handford. Any races that come off are under the supervision of - James Handford and not under Association rules as should be. One of our citizens, namely, Ruf- us, was shut out for simply not know- ing the rules. 1st, Nothing but good horses allowed in ring. 2nd, All per- sons competing must be of good re- pute and under conditions not to sell the race. 3rd,' That no entrance fee shall be charged until after tha 1st of September, 2000. 4th, That where there is a clispu•ie between judges, Jim Handford to be called and all left to him.

Handford and driven by that able and very efficient gentleman, David Hutchinson; "Amber." record 415, owned and driven by Wes. Handford; "Teenie," 5.45, owned by Will Essery and driven by Curley. When the word "Go" was given by Tom Howard they got off in this way. Teenie took the lead, but broke. Gold. Ling pass- ed and kept, the pole till finish, making first heat in less than 4 minutes. When they scored for second heat Tom would not let them go till Dave got his cap, which had fallen off on the home stretch. They scored again and finish- ed much as first heat, time 3 59. This ended the race for the evening. Quite a concourse of people witnessed the race and some got quite enthusiastic over it, offering to put money up that Tom Handford's "Mary" would beat Gold Ring, best 3 in - 5. Jim hearing the scrap came over, when the boys left it all to him, after which all start- ed for home, pleased with the even- ing's sport. More!

While Miss Cash, who is working in Seaforth, and sister, of Hensal!, were driving through the vil- lage at a good rate and by turning. tooshort at the crossing were thrown. out of the rig. They escaped, however, with slight injuries. The rig, which belongs to Mr. Thomas Murdock, o Hensall, was badly wrecked. The horse escaped unhurt. We could not help noticing several men from the East, in our quiet town on Sunday evening last looking for laborers. This, we think is very un gentlemanly and unchristainlike for prominent men of their ` stamp. We miprominent forgive them were they from the far Ji we have heard and the west, but as "the light tomos know long ago that the gh s from the East"wo feel pained that h observance has such a slim Sabbath ,. hold on these otherwise enlightened gents. We understand they got very little satisfaction here, as our working Men know they can get plenty of work There was considerable excitement in Brucefieldlast week when it be- came known that Mr. George Hart's driving hoise, caeL, harness, robes and entire outfit had been stolen the prev- ious night. The steble-door.was lock- ed, but it is supposed the thief got ha at the loft door afi'cl climbed clown in- side. The doors were left open. The cart was 'tracked around the 'back streets, and, it is supposed the rlg was driven towards Seaforth. eloen NG FOR A Rion. -A Goderich township eorrespondeut says: -"It .is said that a certain farmer of this town- ship has stored ill his barns the accom-: mnlations of.ilearly,s , even years' wheatea,.. �o crop, which he!haalreld from, y, year with the expectation of a rise "ie: prices.

Greenway, Mr. W. J. Wilson and family return- ed home from the World's fair, Chica- go, last week. Mr• Wilson says that eyery loyal Canadian has good reason to hold up his head among the nations of the world. The government started in right by selecting as Execu- tive Commissioner for the Dominion Mr. J. S. Lark. He is king at the Can- adian Pavilion, Jackson Park. He has charge of all the manufactured arti- cles, and the display in every depart- ment shows taste and skill equal to any people in the world. ,The Province of Ontario started right by selecting Mr. N. Awreyr He is the right man in the right place. He has good men to assist him. Among thein are: Mr. Potitett, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Gilchrist. and Mr. A. M. Wilson, of this: place. Tho display made by Ontario in every department has been a source of won- derment to the world at large and to none more than the people of the Unit- ed States, who, though they are sup p :osed' to bebetter posted than Europe - of the most drroneous ideas ans, had. . n and resources of our count the extent t i, n: Canadians sten ry.
