Pomeroy was not numerously attended, and those who failed to e present certainly missed a treat. • T e lecturer showed an intimate knowledae of and acquaintance with the country, 'ts resources and pe- culiarities,that anly a thorough ob- server after long r sideace and extensive travel could acqui -0. Upon the whole he spoke very highly ef the Province,which, although it has aw-backs, haat many advantages. He °commended young men who were Ming to labor and wished. to work sut an independence for themselves to go a to Manitoba in- stead of to the United States. He spoke for ppwar s of two hours and kept his audience in'amisely interested throughout. He s a fluent and forcible speaker, and. is ab e to make this lecture interesting as wel as instructive. -On the Sunday previ us he preached two excellent sermon, to good - congrega- tions in the_ ethodist -Fpiscopal Church. Should IMr. Pomeroy deliver hisalecture in anyl other peat of the country, we woul strongly advise all who wish to obtai reliable information of Manitoba to go and hear him.

McMillan & McBride, of this village, are as busy as nailors in the black- amithing business. They have received quite a number of orders for stuff to take to Manitoba. Good workmanship brings its own reward. MINITOBA.—Quite a number of the Germans in this vicinity left Hensall station, to join the Greenway party, on Tuesday last. We learn that 170 em- barked at Centralia, with the party. It is said that Mr. Greenway has made -a clean sweep of the latter named place, only about three families being left in that thriving little village. THAT NUISANCE.—The ,nuisance on one of our back streets, which has pre- viously been referred to in this depart- ment, has not ydt been removed. Sure- ly the authority, whose place it is to see to its removal, must know that com- plaints have been made about it, and the eye -sore and unsanitary concern should be got away with at once. • EDUCATIONAL.—A meeting of rate- payers of the village and others inter- ested in education, was held last Friday evening, in Rannie's Hall, to consider the advisability of procuring a site for a village *school, as extra school accom- modation is required in the section. The trustees have shown their willing- ness to build in Hensell should the vil- lage procure a site, and. thus make it as Cheap for them to build there as other- wise. The meeting was unanimous as regards the justness of the demand, and appointed a committee who will take immediate teps towards procuring the required siti. No doubts are entertain- ed as to the success, as all seem to think a ea ool is needed in the vil- lage. a DitAUGIIT '.—The return checker mateh, be ween the • Brumfield and Hensall cl bs, was 'to be played at the latter Plac last Friday evening, but on acconat of bad roads; &c., only three playerpit in an appearance from Brupefield Not wishing to let them retuaa wit out a passage of arms, a friendly gt me was played with sides and t3core s hereunder, after which all parteok of an oyster supper prepared. by mine host of the Mansion Hotel, Mr. Reynolds, in his usual dxcellont style: Canieron, 0 ; Bonthron, 1; Hyndman, 2; Baird, 3; Murray, 2 ; Dougall, 2; A.

A SUC ESSFUL EXAMINATION. —The pupils of School No.- 7, Howick, were publicly xamined on Friday the 21s5 inst. Th schbol room was tastefully decorated with evergreens, flowers, and appropria e mottoes. The pupils in the junior department were examined by Mr. James Dickson, and showed great pro ciency m the subjects taught them. iss Dickson deserves great credit for the orderly manner in which her nume ous and vivacious charge con- ducted t emselves. The visitors and pupils re ainedain the school room at noon, and were treated to a grand ban- quet, pro ided by the parents. After satisfying he wants of the inner -man, She ministlers and teachers present com- menced tq examine the pupils in the senior de artment. Rev. Mr. Racey examined the fifth class in reading; Rev. Mr. lEly the fourth class, in the same subj ct, and Messrs. J. Dias= G. Johnston, R. Deakman, and D. Wiggins, leachers, examined classes in history, reading, geography, and gram- mar. Mr John Campbell, teacher in charge, examined- the pupils in algebra, mensurati n, and geometry. All the She childr n acquitted themselves °red! itabIy, -Mss Sophia Walker outstrip- ping all h r compeers in history. Wm. and Nelso McLaughlin and. Miss M. J. Kaine eserve special notice for their proficienc . At the conclusion of the examinati n Mr. Caanpbell said he thanked his numerous visitors for their attendancia He had heard that the people of Gorrie did not take mach in- terest in School examinations, but saw now that I such was not the case, as there was, not only quality but also quantity present. He wished that par- ents would visit the school on other days when the children would not be enabarrassed by the presence of so many strangers. i He did not wish to deceive, and frail y acknowledged that special pains wa taken to make a big show. He also hanked the pupils for their praisewor by conduct during the day. Dr. McMi hael was then called to the chair, the duties of which he efficiently discharge He was proud to notice the great progress the pupils had made since the liast examination, and praised. the scholars for their good behaviour during thd, day. He theu called upon Rev. E. Fessent, who expressed his entire satisfaction with the improve- ment made by the . pupils, which he said. reflected great credit on their tea- chers. He urged the pupils to improve the seed time of life, adding, "what they sowed now they would reap in afterlife."' Rev. Mr. Racey stated that he was well pleased with the day's pro- ceedings, and regretted that French was hot taught in our schools. He hoped to see the day when this beauti- ful language would be introduced into all the public schools of Ontario. Rev. Mr. Ely said, doubtless this was the • • MARCH 28, 1879, most orderly school he haci seen since. he had left his own school; that the teachers, Mr. Campbell and Miss Dick- son, deserve the greatest,ertdit for their good management of so i4iany youth.- ful pupils. They were as quick, order- ly and obedient as a well dri1ied. army. The faults of unruly childr n outside of the school were often: attri uted to the teacher. This ought nett() be the case, when the error too often wtfs caused by the parents • neglecting • their duty. Parents sometimes speak dsparagingiy of a teacher in presence of t eir children, who are very ready to tae it up and say "1 don't care for the 4 licher, fath- er and mother say so." Parents and guardians should. see that c ildren pre- pared the kssops assigned to them at home, then the teacher wo ld have less trouble, and better result would be realized. Parents shouldnforce the importance of promptness and punctu- ality in attendance, and hould visit She scheol frequently. Tlai would be a source of encouragement to their chil- dren, besides affording tbet. an oppor- tunity of ascertaining wh t progress their children are ma,kin „ In the evening a grand hterary e ertainnaent was given by the pupils na others. The school room, which s large, was filled to its utmost capacity The first on the programme was "greeting song," by the pupils, whicb was givm in excellent style. Sever I amusing dialogues were well lend' ed by the pupils, but the stump ' s eeches and recitations of Mr. John Do ley were es- pecially attractive, causin the most serious minded to laugh ociferously. "Shocking the Corn," by M ssrs. Hamp- hill and Bunting was well ppreciated. •" Jammie and Jennie" w s well ren- dered by Misses Howie and Miss Elliott of Fordwich, who delighte the audi- ence with their artistic sin ng and in- strumental music. " The eggar girl," was well sung by Miss Gert e Johnston, one of the pupils, who poss saes an ex- ceedingly sweet musical voice. The ex- quisite performance of Messrs. James McLaughlin and Adam Dickson, on the violin, with accompanime atby Miss . , Howie, mm made the feet of al an. and. aged matron move despite themselves. A song, ‘,' Buy my roses," b Miss:Gertie aud Edith Ferguson, two young Pupils, was charming in the extree e. All the pupils perfornied their pa ts without embarrassment or boldnea , which re- flects credit OH themselves nd their in- defatigable instructors. • W could not do justice to the affair with ' ut publish- ing the programme M fu 1, therefore those ladies and gentlemen Who are un- noticed may rest assured that there is no slight intended. A vote of thanks was tendered to those froni a distance and those who in any wa assisted in getting up the entertainment. Thus closed the entertainment of* the season by singing" Can ada!s national anthem." —A Visiron. • Wroxeter. PERSONAL.—Mr. George Eyvel, one of the proprietors of the Sarnia, Observer, and formerly on the Globe ; staff, , paid us a flying visit a few days ago. Mr. Eyvel,who was at one time la, resident of Wroxeter, was gladly weldomed by a number of his old friends, f who were pleased to see him M such good health and' spirits. Masirona.—Quite a nuMber of far- mers and others left this section of the country on Tuesday, to try their luck in the "Prairie Province."' They start- ed from Bluevale station on the Great Western Railway. We have no doubt that Manitoba is a good pliace for • far- mers, still it is just possible that quite a number of those who go inlay not find' a full realization of all their hopes. BUSINESS CHANGES.—It is said that Mr. Wm. Paulin, baker and grocer, has sold ont his business to Mr. Thos. Mc- Laughlin, who will in futare carry on the grocery business at the old stand. We wish him every success.—Messrs. J. R. Williams & Co. have, rented an office in Bell's Block where they pura pose opening a bank. This will be a new departuae for Wroxeter and will; we hope, prove a success. • OBITUARY.—It is our painful duty this- week to have to anaemic° the death Of William Hogg, son of Mr. John Hogg, of this village._ The deceased who was about twenty-three years of age, died of consumption on Tuesday 25th inst. He had only been seriously ill for about six weeks previous to his death,although during the last year or two he has been at variousaimes threat- ened with an attack ofthe disease.
