Entrance and Public School Leaving Examinations. We publish herewith the names of bhe successful candidates who wrote on the Entrance and Public School Leaving examinations in Easb Huron, on the 28th 29th and 30th of June last, The num- ber of marks obtained by eaoh candidate is nob given for the. following, among other reasons ;— (1) Some pupils did not present book work in drawing, writing or hook-keep- iug, Immo two standards had to be used in fixing the pass -marks. (2) There are two separate and diatinet Boards of Examiners, viz., ono for Clin- ton and affiliated °entree, and one for Seaforbh aid its affiliated centres ; and while the marking of these Boards is nearly uniform, yet some dfferenoe must exist, and (3) Principally because the Boards be- lieve that there is now an unhealthy rivalry between the various Public Schools and more especially among pupils, whioh should not be encouraged. Every candidate receives hie marks, and if he wishes, his local newspaper will readily publish them if asked to do So. The large majority of pupils writing on the Public School Leaving had passed the Entrance examination and hence had Entrance Standing. The Boards of Ex. aminers therefore thought it needless to grant these candidates who failed on Public Sohool Leaving Entrance stand- ing. Those who had not passed the Entrance examination were awarded Entrance etanding when they obtained the necessary marks on the Public School Leaving papers. The Entrance papers were all fair papas. The Arithmetic of the Public School Leaving was too difflonit and the Grammar paper too long. Most teachers attempt to do the Pub- lic Sallee' Leaving work in one year after the pupils pass the Entrance. This is too short a period to do the work well. Two years should be taken.

RIND Wonns.—A oorrespondent writes to the Exeter Advocate last week as fol- lows :._ The songs of ohildhood and eahool days linger in the memory es if loath to depart, One of these songs of tender days and pleasant memories had a praotioel aim in view. It indicated : — If there's good that yen can do, do it, do it If a good word you oan Bay, gay it, say it." Now Mr. Editor, good words are worth much and poet little—a mere emanation of the breath, and yet they prodaee e pleasant flavor, fragrant as the perfume of ragas and happy will your oorrespond. enc be if hie weeds at this time carry a sweet smelling savor of bright Bowers, and the incense begotten of gentle char- ity. To come to the point, the people of Ebenezer seem to require an expression of their feeling and sentiments, on the 000asion of their muoh reapeoted pastor, Rev, ,T G. Yelland, leaving thein for his new appointment at Ethel. Kia sojourn among them has been of the most felicb. tons nature, and has left on memory's wall many, many pictures of the solici- tude of this minister of Glutei, caring for his flock, "that they oleo as lively stones are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices:, acceptable to God by Jesus Obeid." In season mud out of season, this inde• fabigalile preaober of righteousness was always ready, always willing to solaces the ears of anlioted ones with words of encouragement, sweetened with hope, blessed by faith, and ganotifled with charity. Not one of hie predecessors was mora suermesful in bringing out the best footmen of the Ebenezer people, They are a peoalfar l)eopll and he avineed a pe- culiarly happy; tact in cab:Ming on to their pooniiarities and prodtteed a eeaaon of uninterrupted pewee, praise and pros. parity. They feel that the vary toast that they can do le to express their heart. felt thanka to him for his kind labors and ministrations, that he may rest as.- eared s.eured he was not unappreciated. Dear pastor you ware appreciated. Let nob your heart be troubled. Your manly stand and straight defence of temperance, legislation, :prohibition, Christian prig• oiples, law, order and justice, has borne fruit, 'While life lasts you will never be forgotten by no and please carry away with you that infinite satiafaotion any preaober can enjoy, and there is not the slightest doubt—none whatever—that if we never meet again on this side of the grave, we will meet you in Heav=e, God having provided this better thing for us." "God be with you till we meet again." 13olgJrave. Cannell Norse.—Rev. Mr. Hall and family are away on an extended holiday. Rev. Mr. McLean, of Blyth, °coupled the Presbyterian pulpit for him last Sunday. —It is expected that a new pastor will shortly be in charge of the English ohuroh congregation.—A forty-five min- ute service in the Methodist church on Sunday evening was none too short aa the heat was oppressive.
