Appel & Zeller were unloading some coal oil at their ware.rooms, the tern became frightened and rau down the street towards Mr, D. Steinbach's store and had it not been for a very stubborn post that stood in front of the verandah they would, in all probabil- ity, have demolished the glass front of the stere.

The program of the day consist- ed of the examination of all the classes, in the different subjects, by the visit- ing tetchers, interspersed by ie tdings rechatione, songs &c., by the pupils. In every case the pupils acquitted themselves very creditably, especially, in the singing,which goes to show that they have been thoroughly and proper- ly trained by an efficient teacher. Per- haps the most notable part of the pro- gram was a recitatiou given by Addie Cave. On being called''on for a recita- tion, Addle took her position on the platform and read the following ad- dress. Ueborne S. S. No 4. Mu J. A. DEMPSEY. DEAR TEACIIER.—We take this op- portunity of showing you our appreci- ation of your valuables services not only as our teacher but as our friend. The untiring efforts you have always put forth, aEd the high interest you have ever evinced, will long be remem bered by us. We ask you to accept this gift as a small token of respect, ,and. prize it, not for its intriesie yalue, but for thn feelings which prompted it; assuring you of the best wishes of all your pupils, combined with the hope that you may long remain with us, as master of our school. Signed in behalf of the school. . RD D. HUNTER, ALFRED E HUNTER. The gift above referred to was an excellent "Dressing Case" and was pre- sented. by -two of trie pupils, Malcolm Dempsey and Laura Hicks. Although taken by surprise, Mr. Dempsey, showed himself quite to the OCCaSSi011, and replied in a very neat speechof which the followingis synop sis.--He said:—Ladies ,and Geetlemen and scholars. "Up to the present ,time there has been three distinct occaisions in my life, in which I found myself, completely at sea to find words to ex- press mat feelings. This is the 4th time I assure, boys and girls 'that 'heartily tbhaatnAlvvr, j3d,anffsoair ,anito:roh.:.:bi'dzovilpirneesszritto.„ you gratitude. I might say, however, that during the tune I have been with you, I have at all times tried fo-de my very best, for those committed to my charge, and it is certainly a source of great encouragement and satisfaction to me tp see that the people of this sect ion, and the boys and girls of this. school, are appreciating the work which I am endeavoring to do for you. I trust that as long as we remain to- gether in the relation of teacher and pupils, the time spent may- be as pleas ant and profitable as the past three years have been. The chair was then taken by Mr. L. Punter, who called upon all the gentlemen present for a speech The following quietly respon- del—Mr. Wm. Cave, John Hunter, Wm. Coats, Paul Coats, Mr. Gilleland, teacher, at Zion, Mr. Hobbs, teacher, of Crediton,Mr. Frank Coats and Mr. Derr - mice, teacher, at Fairfield. All the teachers present, expressed themselves - as being highly pleased with the con dition of the school. Mr. Dorrance de- livered a lengthy and instructive ad- dress in the course of which he remark- ed that it was quite unnecessary for him to say anything in reference to Mr Dempsey, as a teacher. He said that the very handsome present, given to him by his pupilsspoke in stronger terms of his standing-, than any words of which he was capable. The pro- ceedings of the day, and the ending up of a very pleasant and successful ex- aminationovas then brought to a close by the pupils of the school all singing "Home Sweet Home".

When about 10 years of age he came to Anunica and settled in London Tp, where for half a century he lived. In his younger days he excelledin aOl ath- letie pastimes, his muscular saperiority- bringing him victory in many a con- test. By his death the large bagpiper., of London Tp. has been removed. He was it veteran of the rebellion of 1837, and loved to relate his personal experi- ences of that stirring period. Four sons and four daughters survive him. The deceased gentleman was a grandfather of Mr. J. D7 Shipley,of the firni of Grant & Shipley.

P. but one of the on lookers appearing rather skeptial Whee our werthy made, this remark, to satisfy himself, he took a monthfui of it, and then if disgust Was ever dipict- ed upon the countenance of a litiman being it was plainly visable on this gentleman, but he had the grim satia- faction of catching a few more 61101 01.1)ett8 on the same old 'muscovado sugar, before the day was over.
