'* We give below the names of the succe4- ful candidates who wrote on the recent Entrance and Public School Leaving exain- 11111140118 held at the various centres in the inspectorate of East Huron. The names of those who wrote on Leaving and obtained but Entrance standing are not published. Any candidate who obtained Entrance standing on the Leaving may obtain a cer- tificate admitting him to a high school on application to Inspector Robb. Cards giv- ing marks and standing have been sent to Ievery candidate that wrote on any of these examinations. ENTRANCE. The above was the criticism of a cus- tomer as he read our last week's advertisement. The merit of such criticism, so far as we see it, lies not so much in the fact of whekher it is right or wrong, as in the assurance it gives us that the people look for and observe what we have to say about our store, our methods and prices. We think we can afford to repeat what we have said before about our store, our methods, and prices. Our store is growing daily, we are glad to say, in our ctudomers' eati- 'nation as a place at which to pur- chase reliable clothing of all kinds. Our methods of doing business may be concisely stated as being first, for the greater part, a cash business; secondly, we have one price to ' everybody. With us, one satis- fied customer takes precedence to many partially pleased customers. We also ask that our cuatomere return any unsatisfactory goods and receive their money bask, rather than displease them. • CLINTON. BOYS. Aikenhead, Malcolm S.

I h' and the beating of the drums reminded me of an incident which happened long ago 1624 '678 about the same season: I was listening to 1668 the sweet strains of a ;street musician, er ale blind fiddler, as he was called, who was 6'36 playing sweet Irish and Scotch airs beauti- fully, and in the interval when taking up eei the contributions, one man asked him to 722 play the Protestant Boys; another aske1 650 for St. Patriek's Day it the Morning; a4- 685 other for Boyne Water, and again for Skin the Orangeman. The blind ficoller,who was 619 an Irishman, while quietly pocketing the .795: money, said his mother would never allow 654 him to learn party tunes. 1 /99 Now, on reading the parliamentary re - 69e ports during the sitting of the House, I 119 sometimes thought that if Mr. Hardy hall :Ira learned to play party tunes and play tit F6 -,i class legislation, he would have his hands 620 full and would have been kept busy, as with 652 deputations- from Mims' tenal Associationle 8e2 and fadists of many stripes, some asking fth him to play prohibition, some tempera= i 44 reform, and some to regulate the smokin 668 of tobacco, and that if some people he. 651 their way they would legislate away all the rights of man. In placed doing their ow 726 716 duty in example and moral suasion, the 626 seem to think that the functions of govern al ment are toplay party tunes and peas clasa 685 legislation, and not for the whole people. -1 c 785 . 41."..a.".' • • Canada First, Last and Always. The following is an extract from an ad- dress delivered by Mr. M. Y. McLean, M. P. P., South Huron, at the! Methodist church entertainment at Centralia, on Dom- inion Day, and which we publish by special request. Mr!. McLean said:. A, few days ago there wee celebrated, I was going to say all over the world, but I may say all over the British Empire and her various colonies, .a most extraordinary event, the parallel of which isanot likely to occur again during the lives of the present generatir. I refer to the celebration of the sixtie h anniver- sary of the coronation of Queen Victoria, the wise and prudent ruler, the faithful wiie, the worthy and affectionate mother, and one of the most noble women that ever lived on this earth, a model and an example to all. This celebration was not only parti- cipated in by Britains the world over, but the main celebration in London England, was taken part in by representativei of every civilized and semi -civilized natimi in the world. These all congregated to do honor to a woman of worth and a wise and worthy sovereign. I will not wait to dwell on the wonderful achievements in science arts, religion, and everything that tends te; make a complete civilization, that have oc- curred during the Victorian era, what I want to draw attention to particularly is the fact that this Canada of ours, this the foremost of Britaine colonies. was given a -first and foremost place in this great cele- bration,the superior of which for extent and grandeur, has never been excelled in the world's history, while Canada's leading re- presentative was honored by Her Majesty above all colonial or foreign representatives. This honer was not conferred because of any personal or political considerations'but be- cause he is the representative of Canada. Now, when we are so ' highly honored abroad, and when our country is thought so much Of . by other nations and countries, why should we not have in it a great national pride- ourselves. I believe if Can- adians are lacking in any one quality more than another'it is in the possession of a strong, bold, firm national sentiment. We should: be proud of our country and her, in- stitutiens and we should teach our children to be Proud of them; to think and to feel and toi believe that we have in this great . Canade. of ours the best country in the world.tThis feeling should be inculcated into our children in the school, in the home and on the public platform. Weimight well take an example from our Americam cousins in this respect. With them theie no is coun- tiy 80 good as the United States and there is no people so great as the American people. This sentiment' is dinged into the children from infancy onwards, their echool books are permeated with it, and I was go- ing to say it might be found running through their prayer books' at any rate it is proclaimed at home andabroad to such Ian extent that the American people have actually come to believe that the sun demi and sets for the principal benefit of the American Eagle. Now, while 11:3 Ameri- can e may be too boastful in th respect, yet ill their patriotism and their pride in thei country is commendable and is, no doubt, one of the great secrets of the suc- cess, which has attended that country in the past. We in Canada might with profit take a lesf from the Yankee history book in this res et. I am afraid that we are moreapt to look to the tenet Mother country and prii1e ourselves in her greatness and prowess than we do upon our own. _While we should have every love and respect for the Wither country and for the birth place of our forefathers, if not of ourselves, we sheuld never forgret that we are Canadians; that Canada is our horrie the Maple in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, her maid- en name being Catharine McIntyre. She came to Canada in 1839, and lived in Lon- don till two years after her marriage. She then moved to the Huron road, near Clin- ton, where Kepple Dinsley now lives,where she resided until the death -of her husband, 22 years ago. She then moved to Clinton. where she resided until August, 1896. She lived in that neighborhood for upwards of fifty years. In August, 1866, she moved to Sault Ste.
