Omen Pn eene-The members of Court Biemeeck.ot the ancient Order of Foresters held their annual church parade in the Evangelieel Church, whieh the trustees so kindiy gate them permission to use. A number of the brethren from Court Sher- wood Forest of Seaforth attended, with the brethren of this Court, mustering 49 strong. A very able sermon was preached by Rev. J. Cook Methodist pastor from. Ilensall, in which lie shoved that the ob. jetzt and constitution of the Order were wholly in accordance with the sclipture, it being a friendly and benevolent society the object of which was the elevation of the masses morally and temporelle . He exhorted the brethren to be more solid and bread in their friendship which he ably illustrated by reference to the scriptures, where the sick man of the Palsy was brought to Jesus for healing. He also pre- vailed upon the brethren to exercise divine friendship and therefore God would help them and cause them to prosper in their good work. The whole was a grand suc- cess, which reflects much credit upon the Court, the trustees of the church and Mr. Cook, who so kindly offered his services for the occasion. (From Another Source.) SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS, -At the recent entrance examination the following pupils from the Zurich Public; School presented themselves as candidates, viz: Willie Tless, Lydia Strempter, Laura Williams, Emma Johnston, John Kibler and William John- ston. We are pleased to hear that their, teacher, kr. S. J. Latta, has received six certificates stating that all have been suc- cessful. This record speaks well for itself. Not many schools sending such a large number up for examination succeed in passing 100 per cent. It is all the more creditable because of their being very young, their ages ranging from 10 to 14 years. The marks made by each are as follows. Willie Hess. 459 ; John Kibler, 420 ; Emma Johnston, 407; Laura Williams 403; Lydia Strempfer, 400; William John - sten, 378. We are pleased to see that our school is in such a splendid condition, and that it is still progressing under the man- agement of our present teacher, Dir. Latta. The above record speaks wellfor the teach ing, and also shows that the pupils have, been•studious. We wish all inuch success in their school wore, and should the -schol- ars everpresent themselves at a higher examination that they may again make a creditable esass. COM, • Mr. Thomas Mettindale, of Philadelphia, contributes to the Philadelphia Ledger a lengthy article dealing with the scarcity of fruit, the cause of shortage and the probable effect on prices: "We will get about 12,000 baskets of peaches this year," said Mr. Martindale, "compared with :truly 6.000,- 000 baskets last year. The greatest of all orops, the apple, will be realized to about the extent of 24 per cent. in New York State, as compared with productions; here- tofore; in Michigan about 60 per cent.. and in Main e about 90 per cent." The article goes on to soy that "the scarcity, it is thought, will not stop at the peach crop in the fruit line; but will include apples, apricots, quinces, grimes, plums, stravvberrys raspberries and nearly all other table fruits. Of the vegetable products corn, string beans, lima beans, tomatoes, and nearly all other goods for canuing will, if prices continue, te- advance as they have been and are now, doing,'be this Winter pearara, luxury than , A CHILD SAVED.
