At a meeting of the county board of ex- aminers held at Clinton July 0th, 1891, the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, that no candidates for profes- sional e:irtificates who will not be 18 years before the 31st December, iSfll, he admit - ed. to the model schools. Resolved. that the minimum percentage on each paper be 40 and 00 on the total; that marks for bad spelling and bad Eng. Bah be deducted from each paper in the same proportion as in the nonprofessional, and that 5 of the mares of the paper be allowed for neatness of work. Resolved, that we, the county 'board of examiners, cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing aur unfeigned regret at the long continued and severe illness of our 1 espeeted, efficient and genial secretary, P. Adamson, Esq. Our sincere desire is that he may yet, through Divine Providence, be raised up to enjoy health andto sit at our council boards, that we may reap as for the past twenty years the benefi..s to be derived from the counsel of one possessing such mature judgment, clear insight and legal ability in matters pertaining to the educational interests of the county. We also desire to express our profound sympathy for his -amiable partner in life in the trying circumstances in which she is now placed, and pray that she may be divinely sustained in the heavy trial she is now undergoing, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to:1Lrs Adam- son. —�.— Fire. A fire which, but for the promptness of of the neighbors and the employees of the Verity Foundry, and the subsequent alert. ness of the Exeter fire brigades, certainly meant the destruction of the residence of John White, proprietor of Tito TIMES, oc- curred on Monday afternoon. The origin of the fire was a defective kitchen chimney. The rafters caught, and there being a strong wind at the time, the blaze was fanned and it spread with rapidity to the main part of the house. Almost instantly willing hands were at work with pails and staid the rapid progress of the fire until the fire companies were at hand, which was but a few minutes, (thanks to the sprinting pro. penalties of W. Levett who rang the fire alarm) and with a solution of brine from thefoundry soon extinguished everyvelttige of fire. The roof of the kitchen and the upper story of the west end .of the main bcilding.were badly burned. but beyond this and the injury done to the ceilings by the salt water,littie damage was done. The. furniture of the house was all moved, but with such carefulness that not a particle was injured in any way. The total loss will be about $125, with no insurance. In this connection we heartily thank the fire companies, the Messrs Verity, their em- ployes, and citizens generally who took pars in saving the building and who so considerately removed the furniture, for their heroic work, for had action been de- layed a few minutes the building would have been levelled to the ground. It might just now be an opportune time to call the attention of the Council to the necessity of having a tank sunk at the mar- kaa ,.,,.. ,-«� There are many valuable I had w=ga;eisihboth oocl, and were during my musmgeee,e water supply them again, anclmixearw�,,... ,..,1d be Hearing the voices of children , Brevities.
