HARD PAPERS. -We understand that the examination papers of this year for Teach- ers' certificates;were not a fair teat of the candidate's knowledge. The Junior Leaving Arithmetic and Algebra papers were especially unfair. A great deal of com- plaint has consequently been the resalt. However, we hope , the examiners will deal leniently with the papers, and trust the can- didates will come out with a better showing than they at present expect. 1 SERIOUS AGCIDENT.-Mr. James Hender- son, of the 4th concesaion of McKillope met with a very serious accident a few days ago. He was assisting ia loading hay, when the horses gave a sudden'atart causing him; to lose his balance and fall to the ground. He was completely paralyzed as a result of ; the fall, and as he is upwards of 70 years of 'age, his recovery is very doubtful. He is still in an almost helpless condition. -Since the above was in type Mr. Hen- derson has departed this life. He rhad reached the advanced age of 79 years, 'but he was still remarkably hale and hearty, and but for this unfortunate accident bade fair to reach a much - greater age. He was a native of Roxboroughshire, Scotland, 'and came to this country and settled on the farm in McKillop about 51 years ago,and on which he resided continuously until his death. He was the second eldest of four brothers, viz.: John, James, Andrew and William. They all occupied adjoining farms, and were amorg the pioneers of the dietrict. His wife died about twenty years ago. He had a family of ten children, six of whom are still surviving. He was a quiet,indiistrious, honest man, and was much and deservedly esteemed in the community where he had lived for over half a century. Hie death removes another honored landtnark of this district. ....____ Pic-Nic.-The annual pic-nic in connec- tion with the Presbyterian Sabbath School in this toVen was held in Case's grove on Friday afternoon last. There was a• fair attendance of children, parents and others interested in the school, and there would have been many more, but for the unfayer. able weather. Rain threatened nearly all afternoon, and there was, towards evening a very high wind which marred the pleasure of all. But, notwithstanding these some- what formidable drawbacks, a very pleasant afternoon was spent and all, both old and young, seemed to make the beet of the sit- nation, and to go in for a good time. The refreshments, as usual, 011 such occasions, were among the leading attractions, and they were all that could be desired and in abundance. - Morris. - NOTES. -Mr. Peter Cantelon is again from Manitoba.

The Seaforth marksmen were de- lighted with the hospitable manner in which they were treated by the Brussels friends and hope to have an opportunity of return- ing the hospitality at no distant day.

A HORONITE HONORED. -OUT readers may have noticed the announcement of a pro- posed marriage in high life in Cleveland, Ohio. The rgroom was Baron Von Litt- vet; a Lieutenant in the German Army; and the bride Miss Mary Carey, a society belle and daughter of the late -John E. Carey, one elf Cleveland's wealthiest citizens. The marriage took place on Thurschiy of last week. The trousean of the bride was made by Mrs. James Moore, formerly of this town, and aunt of Mr. E, E. Hallett, who is a fashionable dress maker in Cleveland. The dresses were almost numberless and the material in some of them cost over $9 per yard. Mrs. Moore sent to Mrs. Hallett" several samples bf the materials from which some of the garments were made. We hope Mrs. Moore's fee Wa8 proportionate with the high-np character of the parties and the excellent quality of. the garments' made, , .

Aseietance was at once at hand, but before the animal could be removed the post had penetrated its bowels and it had to be killed. The post had to be cut down before the mare could be got off even after she was dead. The fence was of boards and the post an ordinary square topped one. How the beast got into each a position it ie impossible to say, as it all ore curred BO quickly that in the confusion of the moment no person noticed jest how the accident occurred. The mare was valued at $400, being registered in the Clydesdale Stud book of Great Britain and from Mr. Avery's imported mare "'Bonnie Jean." Fortunately for her owner, she was insured in the Ontario Live Stock Insurance Com- party. This is another instance of the ad- vantages derivable from insuring animals ef this kind, as, no matter how careful a . ' ',- son may be, they are always subject to acci- dent and death, and even a small sum is better than nothing. FUNERAL OF Josaiat KETERSON. - The gentleman referred to in the following pant- graph from the Toronto Empire aa Wednes- day, was for many years a resident of the neighboring town of _Mitchell, and it Was there he made the most of his money. He has, however, resided in Toronto about fif- teen years : The funeral of the late Joseph Keterson, who died on Sunday at his home, 852 King street west, Toronto, took place from that addrese on Tuesday afternoon to St. James' cemetery.

Tea: WEATHER. -The farmers of thie im- mediate vicinity have been specially favored in the matter.cf weather since haying coma menced. Most of the hay has been housed without having received a drop of rain since being cut, and it is the largest and best crop that has been secured for many years. In other parts of the county farmers have not been 80 fortunate. On Friday afternoon last there•ssas a heavy shower both to the south and northweet, but there was nothing of any account within ten miles of this place. The rain was accompa,nied by a very high vvind and in some places by a fall of hail which did considerable damage to the crops. The fall wheat is coming on fast and fall wheat harvest will be general next week. The recent bright, cool weather has been favorable to 'the filling of the heads, but the crop will not be nearly so geed ae last year, In many places the grain is badly lodged and tangled. A good deal of this is rusted and will give only a light yield of good grain. In other places the heads have been badly blighted, but despite these drawbacks there are many exoellent fields which will give a satisfactory yield and onthe whole there will be a fair average crop, Spring wheat looks well so far,' and an unusually large breadth has been sown this year. Oats and peas are a heavy clap and if they fill and ripen well there shoeld be no scarcity of food for either man Or EGMONDT-ILLE NOTES. -We are pleased to note that six of those who wrote at the late entrance examination from our school have been successful. Mr. Horton and the young people are to be congratulated, and we. trust this is only an earnest of greater things for the future. -Some of the back Areas of our village look rather disrepute. hie on account of the fine growth of thistles; perhaps the pathrnaster is waiting for some particular condition of the moon before ordering them cut. -Thursday evening's prayer meeting was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Graham in the ,absence of the pastor. The subject was "Sabbath Observance," dealt with by the reverend gentleman With more than his old-time vigor, and the only regret was that more were not prsseat.

The health inspector, who , was to be such a hustler and was to see that every place was made scrupulously clean, faila to even make one tour of inspection. The cows, eheep, pigs and geese are allowed to perambulate at leisure, and at night take refuge on Clan Gregor square, by the city hall, and no won- der, for many barns are much more respect- able looking. Unless painted the summer visitors will go away with the impression there are no town fathers, or, if any, they favor the female voters who own the geese, pigs, cattle, &c., which make a common pas- ture of our public streets. Perhaps they are leaving these much needed improvements until another election, and then spruce up and make the voters believe that they are attentive to the town's interests and wel- fare, and then seek re-election.
