The sale will be held at Clinton. Every effort will be made by the Society to have the sale a success. We hope those having stock to dispose of will not be back- ward in entering, and that the entries will be made promptly, so that no: de - /ay will oecur in getting out the catalogues. The continuance of these sales will depend entirely upon the sup- port afforded' this one by stockmen.

While on hieeregular route with his stallion, he , was, staying for the night at Mr. Henderson's in MoSiillop. The horse Was in a box stall, and Mr. Mason el4ered it for the purpose of putting the halter on him. While lie was thus engaged, the animal grabbed him by the left arm, shaking him around with great fury, and crush- ing him up against the side of the stall. Fortunately, Mr. Mason retained his presence of mind, and On the first op- portunity he hit the horse a blow on the bead witeh his right hand, which citesedhim to let go, when Mr. Mason Made his escape. The brute made a very severe wound, or rather a number SCHOOL EXAMINATION, PRESENTATION of wounds on Mr. Mason's arm, his AND Pic-Nic.—The pupils of Leadbury teeth having entered on each side of the School were publicly examined before a wrist.

From early in the morning people came pouring in from all directions, both by the gravel road and the railway, and by noon it was • estimated that there were upwards of 2,500 people present. The weather was delightful, and all seemed pleased with the arrangements for the day's sport. The grove was gaily decorated with nags and evergreens, and around the platform where the speaking and sing- • ing took place were appropriate mottoes and festoons, emblematic of the occa- sion. In the early part of the day the children of the different schools of the parish were put through their exercises, and all acquitted themselves admirably. The swings and other amusements were well patronized during the day. The platform erected , for -dancing was a large and commodious one, and gave ample scope to those who wished to en- joy this most innocent a,nd healthful of amusements. Base ball and athletic epode of all kinds were carried on, and each drew its own admirers. There was also a large croquet lawn, which seemed to be well patronized- by the. lovers of the game. Butethe principal feature of the day, and wlfich was look- ed forward to with EL great deal of plea,s- ure by everyone, was the lecture by Mr. J. B.

GLENQUAICH AGAIN TO THE FRONT.— A frien ly game of base ball took place on Sat rday last, between nine of the "X Y "club of school section No. 7, Hibber , and an equal number of the " Irons des" of school section No. 6, on the gro nds of the latter, and resulted, as was xpected, in an easy victory for the" onsides," the score standing at the clo e of the game 13 to 3 in their favor. Mr. Robinson, teacher in school section' No. 7, acted as umpire, to the entire satisfaction of both parties. Quite number of persons were present witnes mg the game, and expressed. themse yes as being highly pleased with the wa in which the - boys acquitted themse ves: The playing on both sides was ve y good, as may be seen from the stnalln ss cif the score, but that of the "Irons des!" being especially worthy of notice.

Af- ter the wants of the inner man had been satisfactorily supplied, work was resumed, and about 2 o'clock one of the most orderly and successful examina- tions we have had the pleasure of at- tending came to a close. Speeches were delivered by the trustees and teachers present, and all expressed' themselves well satisfied with the order and proficiency of the school. Mr. Dorrauce, being about to retire for a time from the teaching profession for the purpose of pursuing his studies and. obtaining higher qualifications, and having completed his agreement with the trustees, was rising to deliver- his farewell address to the parents and pu- pils, when one of the latter stopped for- ward and presented him with a micro- scope, an album, a gold pen and pen- holder, and a handsome inkstand, ac- compaufed by the following very flat- tering address: Respected teacher—Al- low me in the name of the pupils of this school to present you this small token of our deep regard.

Powell, Doig, Wiggins, and Misses Powell and Elliott, teachers from neighboring sections. The pupils were examined iu the Via -IOUs branches taught iu the Public School, and judging from the manner in which they answered the large number of ques- tione put to them lief the teachers pre- sent, showed conclusively that -they had been carefully trained by their teacher, Miss Magee. As this was Miss Magee's last examination, there was a large turn out of both- parents and . visi- tors, who took a deep interest in it and 8,11 of whom seemed sorry that the time ter our arrival the ladies again showed their hospitality by passing around their baskets laden with all the delicacies of the season. Considerable time elapsed before this part of the programme was finished; but the end did come, and the meeting was called to order. lira Mc - Gavin was appointed chairman, which office he filled to the entire satisfaction of all present, and with credit to hipa- self. The chairman in a few pointed remarks told the audience the object' of , the meeting, and regretted that such gatherings did. not occur oftener, for the , benefit of • the children. He then called on Mrs. 0. Davis, organist, and Mr. and , Mrs. Blatchford, for a song, which was 1 rendered in good style. The Rev.
