EAST HURON. The following are the names of the suc- cessful candidates who wrote on the entrance examination at the various examination centres in the inspectorate of East Huron. The names are arranged alphabetically- in two classes e—those who obtained sixty per cent, of the total marks or over are placed in the honor list ;.there who obtained more than fifty per cent, but lees than •60 per cent, are placed in the pass list. The papers of this examination were all fair and reasonable exee t that on spelling which was much too difficult for children. Fifty marks are allowed for this paper with two marks off for each Mis-spelled Word. There were at least 50 difficult words on the paper. The town and village !school pupils did quite well on this paper, but owing to the number of classes in the rural school, the teachers have not the time to give the necesiary drill t4 prepare their pupils for such a difficult pa er. Except in so far as an unfair paper i is likely to demoralize candidates for succeed- ing papers of the examination thos writing in this inspectorate suffered no injnatice on account of the unreasonableness of this dic- tation paper. .

WITE NR, SEAFORTIL The Twelfth at Stratford. tratford was the grand centre for the O angemen of this district, on Friday last. Tiey were there from North and South H ron, North and 'South Perth and North M ddlesex. A special train was run from th west and south for their accommodation, an the many whd went from this district un tie in saying that they had a most enjoy. ab e day. The morning train, cofitaining fly ears, was so crowded that the brethren w a o intended going from Seaforth station co Id not get aboard, and, consequently, thy had to await the special, which passed do n about eleven o'clock. On the returu tri the special reached Seaforth about eight o'c oek in the 'evening. The most of the ex. en sionista returned by it, but a good many ea e by the regular train. It is estimated th t there' were between 6,000 and 8,000 vistore in Stratford, and it is safe to say th t never was a more orderly crowd given th freedom of the city. he parade started 'at the city hall, and re robed via Market and Ontario streets to th Queen's Park, where a programme of sp rts was carried out, under the auspices of th Orangemen'and another programme, pr pared by the Perth Mounted Drill Corps. Th procession was headed by the 28th re iment band. Then followed the mount- ed drill corps, and cabs containing the sp akers and a number of ladies, The re- ina'nder of the procession comprised Loyal Or nge Lodges in this order ;—Bayfield, No 24; South Huron, No. 493; Centralia, No 610; Harcourt, No. 662; Lacan, Me - Gil ivray, No. 1,210; Riverstone, No. 145; Go erich township, Bayfield, No. 924; Go erich, No. 189; Goderieh, No. 219 ; Cr diton, No.1,343 ; Tipperary True Blues, No 306; ummerhill, No. 928 ; Bryanston, Ni.792; Thorndale, No. 248 ; McKillop No 813 ; Britton, No. 677 ; Iiondesboro, No 863 ; Milverton band; Wellesley, -No. 45 Millbank, No. 751 ; Milverton, NO. 83 ; Wallace, No. 1,347 ; Edwardsville, No 332; Edenderry,-No. 1 066; Gore, No. 62 ; Cowanetown, No; 979 ; Elms, No.78 ; Lie towel, No. 370; Carthage, No. 544;, W lton, No. 252; Atwood, •No. 630 ; Tr wbridge, No. 652 ; Seaforth band; Lo. ga , No. 908 ; Mitchell.

B. Morphy, of Listowel, wh acted as chairman, and made a short ape eh, in which he referred to the occasion they celebrated. He called upon Mayor Stamp, of Stratford, who extended to the vie tors a hearty welcome. The other speak- ers were :—Messrs. John Scarlett,,P. G. M., So th Huron ; Thomas Magwood, ex -M. P. P., North Perth; John McMillan, Grand Mter Ontario west, Toronto ; Rev. Wm. W lsh, Grand Chaplain, British North A erica ; Rev. E. W. Penton, Stratford ; Re . Mr. Stout, Exeter ; A.

McIver, of Goderieh, WOLI the pro - fee ional mile, and Fred McCarthy, of Strati' for i, the championship of Perth, in the bi- i .cyc e races. The track was in poor condi- ton and the time was therefore not what it mi ht have been. Reuben Switzer, of Blau- sha d, won a prize for being the oldest Or ngeman in the parade. He is 88 years old and has been 71 years an Orangeman. AT LUCICNOW. he Orange demonstration at Luoknow, rep esenting the counties of Huron and Br era, was the largest ever held in that die - tri t, over thirty Orange lodges with colors, baa dee Orange Young Brittons and Lady Tr e Blues being represented, and fully 8,010 people were present. The villagers, ion -famed for hospitality, fairly broke the roe rd. The streets were decked with green eed re, the stores displayed flags and ban- ner, while arches, stieamers, bunting and mo toes spanned the oad ways. It was a welcome worthy of th King himself, and vie tore expressed theii gratification at the wa mth of the reception. The regular and thr e special trains, loaded to their fullest oap city, brought in the visitors. The pro. oes ion, mustered at the Queen's Park, and he clad by the village council, paraded to the Caledonian Park, where a programme of peaking and music was carried out, at wh ch Lieutenant Colonel cott, Deputy Dia rict Grand Master of On Brio west, pre- bid cl. The speaker of the ay was Wor- shi ful Briother Alex. Muir, f Toronto. His ora ion was one of great ferv r, lie patriotic ap eal of a Scot, a Canadian nd an enthusi- ast e Ormigeman. Assisting im• also were Br ther A. H. Musgrove, of Wingham, and the local iind visiting clergy. Mr. W. Allin, ree e, pile an address of wel ome. A con- cer was held in the evening, the foreign tal nt being Mrs. Black-Edm nds and Mr. Ja les Fax, of Toronto. • Ii awson City Comi g to the Front. ev. A. S. Grant, M. D., t e well known Yu on missionary and noted, pastor of , St. An rew's church, Dawson City, is in To- ro to to see his wife, who has been living th re while he has been laboring in the Yu on. e gives an interesting description of the , City.; We have," said pr gress of and the conditions now existing ataevso id Mr. Grant, who might vie Iy be mistaken for a layrean, owing to his semi -clerical drese and free -and -easy style of conversation, " some of the shrewd- est, business men in the world in Dawson Cit . It is the base of supplies for the whole o ntry round about, and t would slur- ; pH e you the amount of •bu iness that is doe there." i - ceording to Mr. Grant, a • remarkable oh nge has taken place for t e better in the m ral tone of the cominunit . There are fiv religious organizations iz Dawson City, th Anglican, the Presbyteri ne the Roman Ce holic, the Methodist and the Salvation Ar y, and each one has its meting -house. It as quite true, he said, that the public da ee halls and gamblers -1'd a thriving trade until quite recently, but such was the public sentiment that now they had to clear out. Men Who at first entirely neglected their religioes duties were now to be seen at church every Sunday. "Why, I'm building a c urch there now," said Mr. Grant, " co ting $20,000. It's no trouble to get moue for church objects. They whack up at once. In fact, they throw it at you." Mr. Grant, when he first went to Dawson, used to go to church and preach in a sweater and wearing moccasins. He could not do that now, for the people were getting quite stylish. The dresses Of the ladies would do - ctedit to Kik street, Toronto, and the scene at St. '4ndrew's ball could not be out- done in Torolato. The log cabins were all disappearing and being replaced by a sub- aitantial class of -buildings.-. was also 'true of the bUildings erected after the dif- ferent fires. • The water System was kept open through- out Dawson for the first time during last winter. Every other winter the main pipes only were kept -in operation'and then only i by keeping a overflow constantly running. Very littleipauperism exists there now, as is evidenc d by the fact that where the c hospital, of Inch Mr. Grant is superin- tendent, at fist treated 90 per cent. indi- gents, it is n w just the reverse. Mr. Grant s a -fine type of the hardy Canadian pio eer. •He is a graduate in r medicine, ancholds a degree from McGill University. • The StEl. e of Affairs in South Africa. Returning fficers do not speak hopefully of the situati n in South Africa. They as- sert_that the ailways are securely held, and that there ar small zones around Bloem- fontein, Preteria and Johannesburg, where it is possible ler inhabitants to settle down and resume their usual occupation without the fear of duiturbance ; but apart from the pacification of these small spheres of British influence, thee are few signs of progress. The railway line from Johannesburg to Laing'a Nek i still menaced ; the Dutch section south of the Orange river is ravaged with guerillas, and broad distriets in the Transvaal and Orange River colony are only kept quiet by being emptied of popu- lation through repeated marches of strong columns.
