ON TIIE EVE and day of the 24th several horses attached to buggies could hardly bo'restrainod by their .rivers, owing to the setting off of fire cracker's by the boys, and it was almost miraculous that runaways with possible loss of life were pre- vented. Mr. Spooner was in a buggy during one of those incidents and ho made the situation a four- handed one by doubling up on the linea with the driver in order to pull up the excited,, plunging animal.

The lodge decided to join with the Sons of England of Exeter ou the 24th of May for the purpose of celebrating iu a" loyal intoner the birthday of our beloved sovereign Queen Victoria. We expect to hear grand results from this lodge in the near future".' - THE Oro 'Polus. -We 1ptve re- ceived from the publishers a 28 page illustrated pamphlet of Goder- ich past nntl present. While the sine of utlto:ir:iJf oro many those of coutmissiun are few in the getting up of the little work. It is fairly creditable to the publishers from a mechanical and typographical point of'view, in fact to our mind it is fully alt that the public could #easonably expect for the money paid thein; It is in no carping spirit that we venture to say we are not so clear about its literary merit. But in this every day practical world business and liter- ary art cannot, unfortunately, always go profitably hand in hand. Being as we are and have been ever from the days.of boyhood's young diets a, and even previously, t;ntit'itately associated with the els town of Goderich, we maybe p.pssessed pf a sentimental feeling towlirds it that fails to find the fullest; treasure of gratification in the neat' little; pub- lication wo aro now alluding to, It may be our fault that` wo cannot appreciate the descriptive patter with the enthnsiaem ft d6'sorves. This may be owing to the e4treme- ly high ideal we had forinedof the natural beauty of the tosirn, its interesting historical and pleasant social reminiscences. However this may he we are really pleased at what has been given in that direc- tion. Its publication at this „time of the meeting of the light Worshipful Orange Soverign Grand Lodge of British • Narth America there is quite opportune, and will' give the 300 or so dele- gates from all parts of the Domin- ion some ideas which, combined with those gathered from personal observation, and the hospitality of the people, that we feel assured they will receive, will add pleasur able zest to their visit and possibly enure to the future welfare of the old town from a business outlook.

The annual meeting was held in the assembly room of the Clinton Coll. Inst. on 'Thursday end Friday of last week. FIRST DAY. Mr. Grant opened the meeting with prayer. In the absence of the president, Mr. Dorrance, Head Master Turnbull was appointed hereto. IIe thanked the members or the honor conferred upon him, nd cordially welcomed them to the off. Inst. of the town. 'I'Ite following omtnittees were appointed : Reporting : Messrs. Blackwell, ickson, Stuart and Burchill. Resolutions: Messrs. Robb, John - ton, Dickson and Misses McKay and owitn. General Business : Messrs. Groves, lummer, Scott, McGregor, Turnbull. .Vominations: Messrs.. Burchill, oig, Malloch and Misses. Peke and 'impson. Com.to examine Treasurer's hooks, flesers. Robb and Lough. Mr. J. Dearness, 1. P. 5., East Middlesex, introduced the subject : "'rho Elementary Rules in Arith- etic.'' IIe spoke of the great value placed on the subject in former years 011e dwelt on the changes that have fecently taken place in the teaching fit it. "The logic of the schoolroom," rlr has been called by Dr. McLellan. In teaching numbers he placed great stress on associating ideas with them. this end he showed some inter- .esting ways of using chalk, buttons, 'pebbles etc ; teaching with a variety of such objects is better than the constant use of the numeral frame. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by merely using such simple objects • as sticks. 'l'he most intricate processes in these opera• tion were explained and tests for correct multiplication by all the dijits were illustrated. The old• fashioned addition tables were exam- ined and another method ensuring rapidity as were as accuracy was pre• rented. In rapid addition,_,teachers should concentrate their teaching on the endings, then the tens, then the hundreds &c. in the second hook the class should be able' to combine two numbers in the time occupied by the swinging for the pendulum. After this address Mr. Malloch called the Roll, and it was learned that a large proportion of the teachers of the Inspectorate, were present. -see Robb, Math. Master, Clinton Coll Inst., gave an interesting ad- dress on Botany. As an old public school teacher he counselled teachers to take up some subject as geology or botany which was not taught in the public school. The teacher who chose the latter would find himself amply repaid when he conies to illustrate the lessons in the Readers., Besides, there are times when the' class becomes listless, often owing. to the condition of the atmosphere or for other reasons, and a short talk on some topic in botany will prove both interesting end instruc- tive. The teacher who by means of pocket lens, needles, knife and a suitable text book uses his spare moments in the prosecution of the study of botany will train his observ- ing faculties, will gain a great amount of useful information and thus be in a position to admire the beauties of nature and add more enjoyment to the school life of the children. Mr. Robb's address was characteristic of him. The quaint humor with which he satirized some personal habits of the students brought out much laughter. Mr. Lough, Prin. Clinton Model School, read a paper on history. He discussed the subject generally, its value as an educative force, and gave valuable suggestions on the use of text books. We shall not sum- marize it as it will likely be publish- ed in tell in the county press. In the evening a public meeting was held in the town hall at which Mr. Manning, chairman of the Clin- ton Collegiate Institute Board, presi- ded. In accordance with the rules of the Association the 'teachers had prepared a suitable programme for the evening entertainment. On this occasion their labors were crowned with abundant success. The program. me was of an enlivening character and the universal testimony was that the evening was pleasantly spent by the large audience that filled the town hall. The order was excellent, and the children behaved remarkably well. A class of boys and . girls tinder Miss Struthers' direction sang sweetly and patheti. cally "The Old Kentucky fIenle." Miss helyar's class- of girls dressed in white, decorated with garlands or flowers and carefully graded RS to height, gave the .kindergarten song " Away Among tilt Blossoms " with good effect. Misses Maggie McMur• ray and Linnie Irwin rendered " Silver Belle of Memory " s,veetty. Mr. Dearneas gave an interesting addres. The tableau of the May Queens in which Miss McMurray was the regal flgur.s, displryed much taste in arrangement on the part of Miss O'Neil, and was well executed by the class. :Tele solos by Mr. J. Jackson and the duets by Miss Gregg and Mr. T. Jackson, and by Miss Sibley and Mr. B. P. Sibley, re• speetively, were rendered in the way for which these vocalists are noted, and were heartily applauded. The Clinton brass quartette played the "Chimes" in perfect harmony. The Fan Drill by the Misses M. Paisley, Dottie Fair, E. Chidley, Dottie Fair, M. Biggart, M. Kerr, A. Howson, N. Cotnbe, II. Irwin, M. Couch, A. Cantelon, and W. Shep- herd, under the management of Miss Heylar, was one of the best features of the evening, and to many was a novelty. The proceeds at 10 cts. admission was $30. Second days proceedings and other matters in this connexion will be given next. week. Tuckersnutl. Miss Nettie Andrews, is at pre- sent the guest of Mrs. S. Jones. Quite a uutnber iu this •vicinity atteudod the races iu Seaforth on the 24th. The recent cold weather has left quite a number of bad colds in its wake. The tall wheat crop bids fair to surpass anything we have hall for several years. RITUItNED.-Dere. J. Clarke who has been residing in Dakota, for the last four years has• returned ou a visit to her mother Mrs. Rabt. Laudsboro. Shespeaks very highly of the country. SOMETHING NEW. -M T. Wm. Robb, of the 2nd con. possesses quite a curiosity in the shape of a tabic from the legs of which several• sprouts are issuing, some to the length of two inches, Since the School Board has been abolished it is expected , that .jigmondville will try to secure in- corporation as a village. As the rest of the township has previously borne the bulk of the taxes of Eg- mondville this will be a great relief to them. PICNIC. -The picnic in Mr. 0. Fowlers grove on the 24th was a g.teat success. A large crowd turned out despite the not very promising weather, A pleasant time was spent in swinging, base ball etc. A splendid repast was served by the ladies, to which all did justice.' Tug BY -LAW. -A poll was taken on the by -lay to abolish the town- ship School Board on Wednesday last. Tho vote was not as large as expected but the by-law was carried by a good majority.

Mr. Cantelon and daughter, have returned to their home at the Nilo, after spending two monthe at Crane - ford. The weather the past week has been very cool the frost having cut off the early potatoes end seems to have done harm to the fruit. Mr. John McCartney and wife, of Goderich Township, were the guests of Mr. Robert Mcllwain for a day or two of last week. Wo think the oorresspondent to the Signal has not much to write about when he has to meddle with other people's affairs and the editor is as bad to print such trash in his paper. The 24th was kept by the major- ity a8 a holiday, the good Tomplars had a picnic at the Point Farm, and in the evening there was an orchard` festival at Mr. Robert Kirpattick's got up by the choir and the young peoples endeavour society. They realized $13.25. -The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada will hold its annual meeting in Toronto, commencing June 12, and occupy probably the following ten days. f y1 {t, SUMMER -)- -)- CLOTHING WE SHOW ALI, TIIE LATEST GOODS IN Serges and Flannels FOh.
