The plans for the new Methodist Church have been adopted and the tenders will shortly be let. curred on that day. The foreuoon was lar Chas. Carter, formerly in the taken tip in examining the junior classes The Public School Examination, On Friday last a large gathering of ladies and gentlemen gathered at the I with a first-clats diploma. Robert ?r school house in this tillage to bepreeeni kins is attending Harriston High School at the public examination which on- with a view to entering Toronto 'Univer- sity. Ile is made of the right material to succeed, and we predict a bright future for "Bobbie." John Coburn is attending Perkasie Coll. Inst., prepar- ing for a second class certificate, and Bert Aylesworth is at home at present working the farm. but intends studying for. a first. He will make his mark if he gets a chance. This list of success- ful Gorrie school pupils would be inoom- plete without a reference to Milton Dorland, whose bright, intelligent mind brought our school such honor at the Owen Sound Coll. hist. where he ob- tained a 1St C. in a very short time, a a few years ago. "Milt" now holds a position of trust with a large firm in San Francisco, along with Louis Hough, who obtained an Intermediate here when only 14 years of age. The time is near at hand when a new school and a third teacher will be re- quired Already the two rooms aie over -crowded, and the two teachers, skilled as they are, are scarcely able to do, justice to the nearly 150 pupils of •the section. The enterprise which has always characterized this school section in the past, will not, we believe, falter over the expellee which is involved in giving the very best possible help to aid in educating their children in their only too short days of school age. Whose Enemies Are They! Allen, Miss Winn. Mr. W. D. Lamb, besides teaching part of the year is travelling as a professional phrenologist jewelry business here, spent Sunday last with the family of Mr. H. Perkins. A three days snow storm has made the sleighing fairly good once more. Some of the roads, however, are badly drifted. Mr. Will H. Smith, a former Gorrieite but now travelling with undertakers' goods, was in town on Tuesday after- noon last. The marriage festivities at Mr. Thos. Walker, on the 6th con., drew quite a number from the village yester- day evening. Dr. A rmstrong recently purchased a fine colt frora R. Black, of Wroxeter. One horse proves insufficient for the Dr.'s large practice. Constable Herten took a lad back to the Home in Toronto last Friday. The boy was living at Mr. R. G. McLaughlin's on the 6th, but ran away during the week. • Howick couneil met at Gerrie on Wednesday when the -pathmasters, poundkeepers, etc., were appointed. The clerk was unable to prepare . the ' minutes in time for this issue. Mr. Geo. Perkins, jeweler, who has been visiting with his paeents at the post office, .the past few idays, left -on Tuesday to take a, position in a large jewelry establishment in Sarnia. • Parties who wish to become corres- pondents to the GAZETTE from Howick or any of the adjoining ieWaships are requested to correspond with the editor. Good inducements -to reliable parties. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Toung, of Wood - stock, are at present the guests of the lady's sister, Mrs. Nelson Metalighlin, at the Gorrie Drug store.: Mr. T. has been quite successful in Rochester, N. Y., and other places, and his many friends here are pleased to see him — after which a splendid lunch, provided by the pupils, was served to all present, and which was heartily enjoyed. Mr. Leech delighted the children by a gen- eral distribution of candies just after dinner. In the afternoon the senior classes were taken up and the' interest never flagged until the _last class was heard and the last exercise finished. The readiness with which the intricate problems were solved,- and the prompt answers given by the pupils, was a source of much gratification to the audience, many of whom had children in attendance, while none could help being struck with the way in which these bright, youthful minds had been stored with useful knowledge. Many of the classes were put through their work by teachers from the surrounding schools who were present by invitation for the purpose.. At the close of the examina- tion Mr. Jas. McLaughlin was called to the chair, and the visitors were invited to exprssa their opinion upon the work- ings of the school and -its progress. 11n response to invitations from the chair, Rev. Mr: Wright, Messrs. Jno. keine, Wm. Waters; - Thos. H. McLaughlin, 'Wm. Evans, Jas. Perkins, John Evans, L.

The following year, 1856, the school section was organized, with Ransom Adams, James Hanna and (probably) fleury Smith, sr., as trustees. The school was assembled in a little -.building which stood directly in front of the present structure, and the first teacher was Nathaniel Snaith, now prominent Methodist minister, and re- cently stationed at Sarnia. 'These first trustees lieveeleng: *nee passed away, Mr. Adams dying at Wingliam some years The school plodded along with -vary- ing fortunes until the year 1878 when Mr. Campbell was appointed Principal. Since then its progress has been rapid and sure until now it stands first -in East Huron, if not in the county. We cannot refrain from giving here the words of the Inspector in his report to the last session of the county council: "I cermet better illustrate what a teacher can do when retained for a length of time, and supported by intel- ligent and public-spirited trustees, than to give the history of the Gerrie Public School. Mr. J. B. Campbell was ap- pointed Principal in 1878. Since then tlie School has Paned 2 for second-class certificates; 11 for third; 4 for hater - mediate, -3 for primary. • -During • the same time the school passed 16 for the • entrance, examination: Of :Meese one obtained a gold niedal at Harriston in 1889, and another the silver medal in 1891. Since 1878 no candidate' sent up by this school failed at the entrance eiaminetion." • A- neater tribute to the skill and abil- ity of Mr. Campbell, or to the wisdom of the trustees in retaining him, could not well be paid. Besides the one quoted in the extract, Miss S. J. Walker .only failed in taking a 2nd by three Marks; Miss R. Keine a third by 19; Mr. Jno. Keine a 3rd by 31. Mr. W. T. Musgrove received a second by attending Harriston High School only three months; Miss R. Keine a 3rd after at- tending the same school about ten weeks. Wm. Toung, son. of Mr. R. Of this village, deserves special mentiOn, having passed a third class examination at the early age of 14 years; the following September, he entered the Chatham- Business College and in competition with second class teaches succeeded in carrying off the gold medal he following June. Although Willerton ig only 17 years of age he is one of , the The' Foresters' Hall, Fordwich, was well filled on Tuesday evening last to hear the lecture delivered by the Rev. T.- A. Wright. The address was' for men and boys only and consequently no females were present. Dr. Thos Spence occupied the chair and in introducing the speaker spoke of the subject as one which both ministers and medical men were neglecting to bring before the pub- lic. He urged their attention to the ad- dress. Mr. Wright, coming forward, first addressed the boys who occupied • the front seats. 'Every boy. listened with rapt attention to the speaker as hepictured by illustration- -from nature the -terrible consequences of early indis- cretk•n: The remainder of the address was intended mainly for the adults. It was most practical throughout; bearing upon all the great sensual evils whiCh are underMinding society. -The whole 'subject is a delicate one and therefore one which speakers invariably shrink from; but the careful and earnest manner in which Mr. Wright put each branch of the subject could give no offence. The lecture which occupied one heur was listened to , with the greatest attefition'and was very- much apprecia ted. At Its close the chairman rose and in a very few wcrds comended the addeess to the careful eensideration of all. He said that he indorsed every word the speaker had said and Urged those present to treasure lsis words for theywere as words of gold to them. The Rev. MeesrsePring and Green added a few corroborative remarks when hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker. We understand that the 1Rev. Mr. Wright will. speak on the -same subject in the town hall at Gerrie in the. near future. We Wish he, may have a frill house. Mrs. Allison is now prepared to do over straw hats in the latest spring styles. The Patrons of Industry hold a meet- ing in the town hall here next Saturday commencing_ at one o'clock. At three o'clock the doe's will be thrown open to the public. A horse fair is to be held in Gorrie to -morrow, Friday. It is expected that a large number of horses will be in town on that day. Mr. Putland, of the Albion hotel. is manager, and he announces by poster that a number of bayers ill. be preaent. As will be noticed by their advertise- ment in another eolumn of this issue there will be a public Meeting in notion with the East Huron Farmers' Institute in the town hall, Gerrie,- on. - Wednesday next. There will be three- seasionaat la a. 111., at 1.30 p. m., and at 30p. m. Subjects in commotion with farming will be taken, up by excel- lent speakers and a profitable time will be spent by thosewhoAtt344. Editor Gazette :—Your neighbor, the Yidette, has this remark in its issue of the 4th March, after mentioning the names of eight constituencies which in the bye -elections had voted conservative, "Eight Ontario seats wrested from the enemy." -A thinking manwill naturally ask: the enemy of what ? Is it the enemy of the country that is meant? If so, how Would it answer for the Re- formers of Ontario to make the same remark in a similar case with the On- tario Government which is Reform. Are the Opposition the enemy of the country in every ease ? Or does the' remark eater to the Conservative party simply? Ifscel presume the Reformers will be quite satisfied with it if it does look nasty. The 'writer of this has never drawn the line very tight- on party politics, and has yet to learn that the "Alpha and Omega" of the country good rests with either political party, sup- posing that a good honest opposition is necessary in any Government, to make it strong and healthy. If this is true when does the enemy come in. COMMA. No. i6 have dissolved partnership and the busi- ness Laney „being carried on by Mr. S.

Mr. Rolston Dunlop, of Chicago, who has been 'visiting his uncle, Mr. James Dunlop. for two or three weeks, has re-. turned home again. During his visit, he and his cousin Adam had 7a very narrow escape. Rolston, being very fond of driving, wanted to have the sport of training a young colt. Having to make a few -calls the horsewas hitched to a cutter. It had not gone far when it took fright at what was behind it. The infuriated animal ran for half a mile but at last the lines broke. Rolston who Was driving, thought it best to jump and attempted to do so. - Luckily -for him the snow was deep -and he escaped „ -- -Without any -further injury. But where • was Adam by this -time? The colt had doubled its speed so that he was unable to jump and had to abide the conse- quence. But after running for some. distance it stopped suddenly at a gate, landing Adam over the dashboard. :But he succeeded in quickly getting to his feet and securing the beast by the head: They escaped without any further injuries. Messrs‘ Wellington and Sam Magee, • who have been spending the winter here, left for Manitoba on Monday Of last week. One of Mr. GraybieLs cows had the • misfortune of having a piece bitten off her tongue by a dog. The' animal --Was licking some hay out of the passage when the dog grabbed her.
