EXAMINATION. AND PRESENTATION,
-It was some time ago learned that
Mr Harnwell, teacher in S. S. No. 10,
intended giving up the profession for a
short time. To the sorrow of his many
friends it was too true. On Thursday,
June 30th, he held his final public eX-
amination in the school. The first
part of the day was taken up with an
oral exarciination of the pupils, follow-
ed in the afternoon, in the preeence of
a large number of visitors, by a very
entertaining program, consisting of
recitations, dialoguesand singing by
the children, in all of which, they show-
ed great proficiency; an important
feature in the entertainment was a
spelling match between two classes
chosen from the school. Mr HarnWell
then made a few presentations to his
pupils, Mabel Chuff receiving a large
volume for best attendance, and Susie
Elliott for best standing in the spelling
matches during the term. Then fol-
lowed an exhibition of drill and 'Cal-
inhenics by the school, in which they
showed that they had been well kale
ed by their teacher. A scene
followed which will not soon bd
gotten by those who witnessed.
Foar girls of the sch ol entered with
handsome presents and an address for
their teacher. The following address,
which speaks for itself the high esteem
which the children had for their teach-
er, was read by Alice Burnett.
WEDDING. -On Wednesday of last
week Rev. E. A. Fear was called upon.
to perform a very interesting opera-
tion. This was the uniting in the
bonds of matrimony of Mr W. J.
Hoover, of Westfield, to Miss Emely
Currie, of the Nile; the bride was as-
sisted by her sister, Miss Maria Currie,
and the groom by Mr Treleaven, of
Dungannon. When the ceremony
was concluded, the large company
proceeded to dispose of the good things
which were temptingly spread on the
tables. After doing justice to the
bountiful repast, games of croquet and
football were started, when a team of
eleven from Westfield offered to play a
• game- of leotball-with• eleven picked
from the crowd; this offer was accepted
and the game began. It lasted about
an hour, and resulted in the Westfield
team corning out second best. Instru-
mental and vocal music and other
•games were carried on for some time,
after which the large assemblage dis-
persed, seemingly well satisfied with
the pleasant time they had spent.
There were five millions and over one
hundred and thirty people present.
We wish Mr and Mrs Hoover a pros-
--perous-journey Ihrou_gh life. _

WEDD1NG.-0n Wednesday of last
week the residence of Mr Isaac Hop-
son was the scene of a very pleasant
event, it being the marriage dif his
daughter Emma to Mr Frank Lansing,
of Hullett. The bride was supported
by her cousin, Miss Emily Watkins,
while the groom was assisted by Mr
Jos. Rapson, brother of the bride, the
ceremony was performed by Rev Mr
McKinnon, of Clinton. It was wit-
nessed by a large number of guests.
who, after the congratulations were
extended, sat down to a sumptuous
feast prepared for the occasion. The
bride was the recipient of many and
costly presents, which showed the high
esteem in which she is held by her
friends and acquaintances. The happy
couple have the best wishes of the
community in their launching out up-
on the sea of life, and we agree with all
in wishing them a safe and prosperous
voyage.

NoTas-The picnic, which our young

ports having a good time. Misses
Sellers and Watson and Mr McCallum
have closed their schools and returned
to their respective homes. Thos. Ross
sold twenty one head of fine cattle to
Mr T. Watson, cattle buyer, this week.
We are glad to see Mrs Wm Ross able
to be around again after her severe
illness. Miss Ida Rath returned to her
home after four weeks' visit at the
Nile. Nothing further has been heard
of the sneak -thief who visited the
neighborhood; he was traced as far as

Mr Harnwell replied to this ap-
propriate and affective address, • in
which he expressed his heartfelt
thanks and gratitude for the way in
which he has been used by pupils and
parents since he came to the school
two years and a half ago. We believe
that Mr Harnwell intends taking a
course in 'Toronto University, in order
to prepare himself for higher duties.
He will be missed by the pupils and
people as he was not only a 'trainer of
minds," but a staunch supporter of all
good things. He is a prominent mem-
ber of the Methodist church here and
one of -Ille-principal -members of the
choir, where his absence will be deep-
lyregretted. We all join heartily m

AN HOTEL STABLE TAKEN FOR THE
TOWN HALL, -On Dominion Day a
etranger, misled probably by the out-
er appearance of the Town Hall and
the herderof cattle, sheep &c in front
of it, drove up for accomodation for
his horse, but not seeing the hostler
about proceeded to the River Hotel,
Where he enquired what big meeting
was going in the nicely painted hall to
the rear. Constable Jack will have to
stand guard on the 12th or the alder-
men's seats will be converted into
donkey's stalls.
CONTRACT LET. -The school con-
tract has been let to Mr Kalbfleisch at
8600; S. S. Cooper's tender was $550,
but later be revoked that and put it at
$650. Mr Kalbfleisch's tendor was
$750, but he finally reduced it to $600,
which was accepted. It will be seen
by this that the unhappy occurrence
of a superfluous man on the trustee
board at the time the tenders were
opened means a loss of $50 and pro-
bably more to the corporation.
REmEmpEn THE 12TH. --000d weath-
er is all that is required to make the
12th celebration the biggest ever held

pleased with Dominion day at Hayfield.
