ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION.—The 1110111•
hers of the Seaforth Presbyterian churoh
choir waited on Mr. 'LIMOS Scott, at his
residence, on Friday - evening last, and
presented him witha highly complimentary
address, accompanied by a handsome gold -
headed cane. Mr. Scott has been leader of
the choir for fifteer years, and being about
retiring from that powitien, the memleers of
the choir took this means of showing their
appreciation of his services and the cordial
and pleasant relations existing between
them. We regret that space forbids our
giving the entire address, but its' compli-
mentary nature may be judged from the
following extract : " As a trainer you
were capable and patient. The exercise of
your authority was always 'mingled with
courtesy and delicate consideration. As a
man you have won oar esteem and good
will ; and as leader of the choir you have
earned our gratitude for the contribution
you have macle to our musical knowledge."
Mr. Scott made a feeling and suitable re-
ply, expressing his thanks for the kind and
suitable gift and acknowledging his great
-obligations to the choir for the assistance
they had so cheerfully • and so efficiently
rendered himeand the knowledge that his
services had in some measure been appre-
ciated by them, was ample reward for all
he had done in their behalf. An hour was
pleasantly and socially spent, when the
company, after bidding Mr.- Scott •and hie
estimable family adieu, departed feeling
that they had spent a pleasent / evening, as
well as having done a greoeful land a -com-
mendable act.

TEACHERS LEA VING.—Our citizens gener-
ally and all interested in' our Colkeglate
Institute will learn with feelings of tegret
and disappointment, that ;• three of the
present excellent and efficient dial have
tendered their resignations end intend sev-
ering their connection wittethe Institute at
the close of the present - term, Mr. Mowat,
the head master, has been offered and has
accepted the principalship of the Brockville
Collegiate Institute, at a salary of $1,500 to
begin with and proepeote of better things in
the future, if all parties coneerned are sat-
isfied. Mr. Hogg, mathematical master,
having seoured a fellowship in Haretird
University, goes there to take a post grAdu..
ate course. Mrs. Kirkman, who has een
teaoher of modern languages for well igh
twenty years, desires to re ire from ' the
I
profession, partly on amnia of impa red
health. Mr. Mowat hae only een here one
year, and while we shall all eeply regret
his departure, we can say, tha , the people of
Brockville have made no mis ke in 'select-
ing bim for the principalship f their Iipti-
tote. He is a good man in e ery semi of
the term. AR a teacher he is enthusi tic,
1
competent and judicious, and . ems to ve
the'happy faculty of winning the oonfid. oe
and esteem of both pupils and people, *pile
during his brief residence here' e has pro en
himself an estimable and useful oitizen. ,As
to Mr. Hogg, we have known of and ap-
preciated his good qualities and abilities
from hie youth, and it was thie knowledge
that induced. the beard to make a Special
effort to secure his services, and we very
greatly regret that hie stay with us is to be
so short, and we hope that circumstauees
will arise which will result in his return 1 t o
us when hemompletes his studies elsewhere.
Mrs: Kirkman has been with us so long t 'at
she seemed to be a ermanent nail of he
Institute, and the re ret at her eeverattoeuf
her connection with the Institute will be
all the more keenly felt on that 'account.
As a painstaking, co scientious and .efficient
teacher in her speci 1 department, she has
few equals, and her ham will be extremely
difficult to fill, Her influence for good has
been exerted not onle in the school- room
but in the communi y, and we venture to
say that none have e er come under her in-
finence who have no been greatly benefitted
therebeyand we kno that there are Many
ex -students of the teaforth Cellegiate iIn-
stitute who have pro tted by and will leng
and gratefully reme 1:ter her wise counsel
and kindly Wet %lotion. We have
not learned w at her intentions
for the feture . re, but we trust
that her retirement rom actual work Will
not necessitate her easing to be a resident
of the town. The retirethent Of these three
teachers will be a cretinct loss. to- the bl-
ititute, but we ha e no doubt that ;the
trustees will at this ime, as on all fortner
occasions, put forth very effort to secure
the very best tale t available, and its
friends need not fear that it will suffer, de-
spite the temporary ova it will suetai by
the removals we havi referred to.

THE FARMERS' EXCURSION. —The Farm•
ere' Institution excur ion to the Experi-
mental Farm at Guelp , on S turday last,
proved to be a splen id suo ess. There
ware two long trains `and ev ry oar was
130 tickets sold at Sea orth station, 72 at
filled to its utmost oyacity. There were
Brumfield and other points In proportion-
ate numbers. The day wat delightful,
being cool and bright, and all that oould be
desired for a pleasant outing. The exour-
eicmints arrived at the college in good time,
and were hospitably reoeived by Principal
Mille and his assistants, all of whom were
!unwearying in their efforts to minister to
the comfort, ' pleasure and instruction of
their guests. After partaking of refresh-
ments furnished by the college authorities,
the excursionists were not long in finding
their way th ough the buildings and over
the fields, ex mining carefully all that was
to be seen. Among other interesting
points, the xperimental plots seemed to
;furnish a ne er ending source of interest to
'visitors. B evening most of the visitors
were tired e ough to be ready for the re-
turn trip, but all were, evidently, delighted
with the day's experiences and the manner
in which the had been entertained. The
return trip was made in good time, and
most of the excursionists would reach their
respective h meg before the close of the
week. The e excursions seem to be be-
coming mor popular year by year and the
people never lose interest in their experi-
mental farm and are now commencing to
truly appreciate what is being done there
for thnimportant industry they represent.
No untoward event occurred during the en.
tire day to ar the pleasure of the excur-
sionists, an Ave have no doubt but all who
went on Sat rdity will be even more anxious
for a similar outing next year.
