Seiroot, ExAmr N AT TON, —A school ex-
amination of the p ipils of School Seetion
No: 4, Township f 0 rey, took place on -
Friday, 17 ilf inst At about 9 o'elnek
A. M., the scholars assembled - at the
school -house ready for the exercises of
the day. A number of ! parents and
other visitors were present. At 10, the
exathination comn eneed, and lasted until
3 P. 'AL, during wi lich time the scholars
in thc several elastics acquitted them-
selves -in a manner whieh was highly
creditable to Mr.Fergueon, their teacher, •
and. to themselves. Mr. Ferguson's
mode of teaching did not consist of mem-
ory -cramming of _ esnrds and dry fade,
but each pupil seemed to have formed con-
ceptions and ideas of each eubject exam-
ined. in. The many scientific questiens
given by the teachhr and.. others to the
senior dames, not only on the general
outlines, bet even the minute!, were an-
swered with readiness and correctness.
Every one felt that syetent in all thins
and punctuality in everything was the
order of the day. and also that the use of
tune and opportunities made by M4.
Rene -neon, while in that ficetori, eould
not have limn more instrnctivo to the .

honorable to himself. At the close,.
Messrs, McAllister and- Lynn, trustees,
addressed the children on the necessi
of improving the oppOrtunittes., and
vantages they enjoyed, an pointed o t
the duty of parents and teacher in e
gard to the moral as well as the int 1-
1ectual training of 9hild.ren. Tower Is

and all went home in the best of hu.rn. r,

Smoot, Exametieriben—The exam ae
of school in Section Nice 9, taught bp 1r.
John Armour, came off on Friday ia
the 17th inst. Tbe weather was vi
unfavorable, the morning being wet at
the roads bad. Not ithstanding th'
however, the attendai4ce of visitors w
very large which sho s clearly that t e
people of this section ake a lively int r-
efit in the welfare of heir school. T e
hoose was neatly de °rated with eve
greens, and presented a handsome a
pearance. The attendance of pupils w s
also very large: The manner in whi h
the pupils'acquitted themselves in th 'r
several departments, was very creditab e
both to themselves- and teacher. Aft r
the examination closed, the -children e
tertained the visitors with some exc.1-
lent recitations, comic epeeches,dialogn s
and singing, all of which were i well pe
formed, and duly appreciated by t
attdience. -There were nearly six
prizes awarded, and algood book, b
sides which there were special prizes f r
ee
writine spelling and arithmetic. 13o h
parents- and children are well plea,s d
with Mr. Armour as A teacher.

Rev. Mr. Eakin, pastor of the Preebe -
terian Church of this place; was Reade
the recipient, a few days ago, of a- very
handsome present from the young people
of his congregation, in the shape of a
purse containing about eighty dollars i
money. We believe that a ehort time
ago ItIr. Eakin lost his horse, and the
present donation was intended to reeette
pulse him in some measure for his loss.
Troublesome Dogs and Noisy
Boys?
To the Editor of the llurorc Expositor.
SIR,—I wish to direct attention to
nuisance whieh detracts not a little fro
the enjoyment of the people of Seafore
while attending publie entertaipment
I refer to the presence of dogs at 'lecture, ,
concert, etc. The °tier nights", at the
dramatie entertainment, no less tha
four doge and curs of low degree wer
scampering up and down the aisle, on t e
side of the house where I was sitting, the
whole evening, while one somewhere b
hind regUlarly joined in the applause an I
came out heavy in the encores, and a
other in front endeavoted to get upo
the stage, evidently whh a view of a
sisting in the performance. 1 have eve
heard it stated that at several of th
churehes in town there are regul r
• churcb-going dogs, but this I can onl
give as hearsay. Now let the regular
admission fee be imposed on these a
usement-seeking dogs, and let them not
be admitted till their masters fork t
over, eenct let • the church -going doge, f
suchthere be, not be passed over 'whe
the collection goes round. and there wi
soon be71scarcity of dogs at places
pnblie Meeting.
- While my hand is in, I may as we 1
refer to another annoyance at pubiic e
tertainments. -It is occasioned. by a lo -
of halt -grown boys, who ought to be a
borne in bed, hooting, whistling
an(
n
yelling in the most ear -piercing ad dis
turbine- manner, when there is any pre
tence whatever for applause. Now, can'
something, be done to stop this sort of
thing? Why should two or three hien
dred ladies and gentlemen have theie
evening's pleasure spoiled for the sak
of a few rowdy boys? Will not th
Dramatic Society, at their next entes
tainment, try to do &mottling for th
proteetion of their audience, and th 3
putting down of this annoyance? Le
them take the first step. - - (a. C.
