The subject was discussed further by several of the teachers present. A. J. Moore, B. A., neck took up the subject of "Derivations" and dealt with his method of taking rep the work with pupils. The difference between deriva- tion and inflection should be carefully taught. The English prefixes should be first taught thoroughly. After these the Latin or Greek may be taught in either order. Mr. Moore gave some excellent' examples of peculiar and difficult deriva- tions ; hie paper was very interesting and instructive, and the teachers were very mnch pleased with Mr. Moore's manner of dealing with the subject.

He related his story to the jury. He denied being a drunkard, but admitted that he bad stomach trouble once when be took too much whiskey. The engagement was broken off in 1890, but renewed in 1892. In 1892 defendant's father, Mr. Forrest, died leaving her considerable property, Deceased then became engaged to her present husband, Mr. Turnbull. When plaintiff heard of it he told her it was a shame for her to marry an old man like Turnbnil. Defendant said that poseibly she might not marry Turnbull after all, and in that event she would marry him, plaintiff.
