ption, the best loCal re -union, among
e Many, that have I taken place in

lowed on "The Tides," and roved him-
self master of the situatiou. Mr. G. W.
Field, B. A. beins! present, agreed to
take .up the literatbure of Milton's period
at the neat meeting. The attendance
was good, the workpraotical, and every-
thing 'went to indicate a desire to make
it one of the most successful local insti-
tutes in the county.
—In a report of the last regular meet-
ing of this Institute, Mr. Clarkson,
Principal of the High School, was re-
presented as having read an essay
selected • from one of our Canadian
magazines. It is true • an essay wee
read from the above source end -an ex-
,cellent one, with which all present were
highly pleased, but Mr. Clarkson. him-
self was the author. The Secretary at
the time was 'not aware of this fact,
hence the omission. We gladly make
this explanation, trusting Mr. Clarkson
will consider it satisfactory.
RUNAWAYS.—We have not been called
upon to chronicle many runaway items
itt Seaforth latterly. We suppose this
is largely due, to the precautions which
the public generally take towards pre-
venting occurrences' of this I kind, by
tying animals that are in any way frac-
tious securely, when leaving them on
the streets. Such forethought is highly
11-4
eported that levelling,fericiug ancl plant-

ommittee were accordingly instructed
have the said work done. The Main
treet was ordered to be watered from
the northern limit of Mr. D. D. Wil -

ordance with petition of ratepayers.

livered in 1877, the delivery to com-
mence -not later than -15th June, and

Mayor was instructed to attend to the latter teaxa taking its course' for a con -
suit between the town and the Cousoli- siderable distance on the railway track

horse imagined that it had -the right to
act as advance agent in the business,
and shook off control from the driver,
throwing him out of- the wagon. He
sustained some slight injuries on the
head and other parts of the body, but
nothing of a very serious nature. The
animal. and vehicle went on their mis-
sion at express speed down Main street
towards 1gmondvi1le, causing a fa,r-
mer's teaia and. wagon to run •away, the
necessary to the successful Carrying on
of the same. A motion was passed in-
struating the Treasurer to refund to
31.r. James McGuffie the sum. of $60,
being for the portion of the year 1878
that he did. not have a license, he hav-
ing Paid for the whole year. This is
carrying out a resolution of the Council
passed last year in the same matter.
The Council adjourned for two weeks.

OBITUARY.—It is with deep regret we
record. in this week's issue the death of
Mrs. Young, wife of John Young, car-
penter, of this village, and daughter of
Mr. Wm. Tacker, formerly of this place.
Although Mrs. Young has been very ill
for the past two weeks, hopes were en-
tertained of her recovery till within the
last four or five days, when it became
evident she could not survive. Though
nearly constantly delirious, when at
times her reason returned, she epoke
comfortingly to her friends, and assured.
them that her trust was placed in Jesus,
and the change for her would be a
happy one. Her death, which took
place on Tuesday evening, May 6th,
cast a gloom over the entire neighbor-
hood, as she was a universal favorite,
being of an unusually amiable disposi-
tion. She was loved! by young and old.
Her husband and two children, besides
a very large circle of friends, will long
mourn her toss. The funeral takes
place to -day (Friday,) at 11 o'clock.
The remains will be placed in the cera-
etery here.

Entrance Examinations.
To the Editor of the Huron E4ositor.
Sia,—The time for holding the next
entrance examination to High Schools
has been fixed. for July 8th and 9th.
Candidates should notify. the head I:Gas-
-ter not later than May 24th. Forms
may be had from the County Inspector
or from the head. master for making ap-
plication for admission. The inter-
mediate examination begins on the
same day, and. the third class examina-
tion on the 14th. It is to be hoped that
all who intend to become pupils of the
High Schools will duly present their
applications, while, on the other hand,
the practice of making the entrance ex-
amination a sort of test, without having
any serious intention of entering the
High School, deserves censure, as it in-
creases the labor and expense of the ex-
amination without forwarding the end
for which the labor and money are ex-
pressly spent. I have been frequently
asked. what text -books are best adapted
for pupils preparing to enter the High
School. I am very decidedly opposed.
to changing books; but I am fully per-
suaded that those. who get Creighton's
Introductory Piimer of English History
and Morrison's English Composition
will receive aid worth many times the
cost, which is only some 25 cents each.
In geography, grammar and composi-
tion the examiners are instructed to de-
duct one mark for every mistake in.
spelling. The candidates, in order Ito
pass,require to make 50 per cent. on
