Rrnae010 0t). searorth, On Thursday of last week a very pecu- liar game of orioket was played on tho park between the above mentioned °lube. It woo a phenomenal game and the bowl - Ing and fielding was extra good. Brussels went to bat first but were quickly disposed of for 12 runs. D. Boss got 4 of them. C. Waterer 8 and A. Veal 2. There were 6 relegated to reserve soaks to mono on that kind of "fruit" known as "goose eggs." After lunch the visitors took the willow but Harry Donnie got his eye on the stumps and he °loan bowled 4 of the Seaforthitas. W. Carmiolrml was the only man to make a steed, ho enaceodod in. scoring 10 runs, T. Coleman put 6 together and A. Baird 4. Tho innings totalled 32. Tho "goose egg" compliment was returned end tho seorm- book aredltod thorn with lour 0. Tho Immo team then wont in for their second innings but although A. Currie bunohed 10 runs togothor, by careful play, S, Laird battled for 5 and D. Roes 3, the rest of the boys slid not feel like playing cricket, (al- though it was a flue day) and down tumb- led the stumps before the well directed bowling of Cameron and Baird, and the innings ended for 19. This left the visitors the victors by 1 run and an innings. There were only 4 extras in the whole mateb.

This closed 1110 bluenose of the (murt, n. Mr. Hagarty, of tho Seaforth High rho School, discussed in genorol the eubjeot of Iluglielr Litereturo, partioularizing as to methods et the elm of his paper. He ex- plained that he had but a short time for propmring ; supported strongly Examiner neatly in the latter's views of what English literaber° should be as asked for on the ex- amination pnpers ; did not believe in dis- cussion derivation aad the lives of adhere too closely when toaoliing 0130 eubjeot, would develop the thought of the writer and shows its slreag010, beauty or weakness. An effort will be made to secure Mr. Hag- arty's paper for the press. 0n the mo. tion of Messrs, Turnbull and Mattooh, the essayist watt thanked for his paper. Die. mission was engaged in by Messrs, Turn• bull, Hagerty, A. Malty, Duff, Herstono, On Thursday evening an outertoirmrcut was given in Cardno'a Hall, The attendance on Thursday morning was fair and a great amount of badness was pushed through. The afternoon trains brought a number al Medlars from the northern part of the Inspectorate. The heaviest part of the program was dealt with olr Thursday afternoon. At the next meeting a ramose of at least fifteen minutes will probably bo granted at eaoh seaeion. On Friday morning the papers were called for in rapid succession. As it was, several papers and matters were passed over until the next meeting. Tho executive committee were dis- appointed that teachers did not make use of the "Question Drawer." But that they did not was the result of a misunderstand- ing as to what subjects would be dealt with in it. At the next meeting we believe it will be fully utilized. The subject of English in general, is one that teachers are, devoting much attention to. Mr. Turnbull's discussion of the last Entranoe Grammar: paper, Mr. I-legiarty's "English Literature" and Miss Aelyra'e way of dealing with a "Language Lesson to a First Class," were ail followed with close attention. So will it bo at the next meet. ing, The Subjeete of Elementary Gram- mar and Composition are ones that are pressing hard on teachers at the present time and an effort will bo made to have teaohers who devote their study mainly to these subjoots, deal with them at the com- ing convention. It would have been grati- fying to many teachers had Mr. Turnbull or Mr. Hagerty dissected the Last emend and third class grammar papers. Boy. Messrs. Howell and Edmunds, end Drs. Coleman and Smith attended the con- vention, the Clergymen on both days. This was specially gratifying to the teachers. A remark from one of the teaohers, that olorgymon would the better help on the cause of moral education, by more fre- quently visiting the schools, was replied to by one of the Seaforth teaohers, that the statement could not be applied to the min- isters of Seaforth ; they all showed an sotive interest in oduoation. The entertainment given in 0ardno's Hall wee a gratifying success. Mayor Coleman performed the duties of ohairmnn in a happy manner. The unexceptional success of all parts of the program was pleasing to all parties oonoorned. For a topic as chairman's address, Dr. Coleman spoke on the genus homo, showing a breadth of thought and amount of saholarehip, whialt held, with good attention, his audience. Mr. Bright got off several good jokes, in hie rendering of "Sam's Letter," as for humor, Mr. Bright has considerable, wish a fair sprinkling of wit. Owing to the phenomenal noisoiness of 60121e boys, A. MoJiay's reading from Mark Twain did not receive a merited at- tention. Bev. Mr. Edmund's reading for the ohildren called forth good attention from old and young; his recitation of the "Village Blaokemith, " although a seleotion whjolr every school teacher is thoroughly familiar with, was 'appreciated. The mus- ioal part of the program was of a high crder. Miss Ewing's seleotious at the piano were admirable as to ohoioe mud duration. The Orchestra played twit)°, on both omissions, their mnsio was fine, the last selection be- ing especially so. The Broom Brigade was something new to most of the audience, and therefore received a thorough eern0iuizing. Lestiy, the singing of the children, their tasteful dross and gradation on the plat- form, the well nigh perfect precision. of movement in olnb swinging, all went to show much oulture in the manner of deal- ing with juveniles in tenter year's, on the part of the Seaforth publto school teaohers, notably Mise Edwards and ililoran. The following motions by the oommitteo on roeolutione were carried unanimously :— That the thanks of this Association be rend- ered to the pupils, teachers, olorgymon, Mayor and chairman o1the High Sehool board 'who have boon present and helped to render our meeting profitable aid enjoyable, as well as to the Public School Board for grouting ns the 1180 of the building ; also that the reports be requested to have their report published in thepotiors of the county. Also, that a Seorotary be instructed to eon - ay to those who took part in the prooeed- fnge in Carduo's Ha11 on Thursday evening at the putilio meeting, the thanks of Elie as- sociation, and that the sum of ten dollars taken out of the proceeds be handed over to Mime 'Moran and Edwards to proouro suitable momontoee of this meeting for the little ones who delighted us by the singing and club swinging. The illness of Dr. McLellan from poison- ing, was much regretted. Many Mao/sere would like t0 have heard his "Edceatlonal Crities Oritiolzod," North _Huron Teachers. An interesting lord Profitable Sleeting. Tho regular soma.amrual meeting of the North Anson Teacher's Association was hold in the Central School, Seaforth, Oot, 701) and 8th. Tho President, J. C. Link - later, of the Clinton Model School, ooaupiod the chair and palled on L. MoFaul to en- gage in prayer. The report of tho secre- tary was road and adopted. Mr. Groves handed in his resignation as secretary - treasurer, whioh on the motion of Metiers. Duff and Lough was accepted. I'. Perrin was appointed secretary pro tem. On the motion or Messrs. MoFaul and Mattoon, a vote of thanks wee given Mr. Groves for his 00rv1008 as secretary -treasurer during the time ho has been connected, in that office, with tho Instituto. Mr. Malloch VMS delegated to apply to the County Council for two grants of money due tho Association. Mr. Linklmter took for his annual address "Sumo studies essential to a teacher's &nooses." The addrose was re- plete with deep thought from a man woll known as a thorough, conscientious and practical teacher. But WO shall not try to summarize it ae, in its entirety, it will be printed shortly in some of the papers of the county. Tho teachers cordially thanked Mr. Linklator, At the afternoon session, Mr. Mallooh took up the subject of "0rthograpby and Ortbwpy" for the eutranoe examination. He illustrated the method of making the words set at the recent entrance examina- tion and showed what the examiner requir• ed of candidates, on the Grthmpy paper, in indicating the pronunciating fully. of died- oult words. Mr. Duff made a few remarks on the eubjeot, W. E. Groves dealt with "Tho ride from Ghent to Aix" in tho en0ranoe Litoratars. A class of pupils was in attendance ; and for thirty minutes Mr. Groves by skillful questioning and well directed thought draw from the Claes a fair conception of the beauties of English literature, end, indeed, of the spirit of Browning's poetry. He was thanked heartily for bis effort. A, vole of thanks was given to the class. S. Hints dealt in general with the man - nor of teaching, and the choice of subjects for err object lesson. His views in the main were good, and, we believe, will be kommonded by progressive, practical teach- ers in the future. He advocated the solu- tion of such subjects as a squirrel, a hawk, different kinds of leaves and flowers. A vigorous discussion ensued in which the method advocated was "well opened np ;" and was engaged in by Messrs. Shaw, Mc - Paul, Coleman, Howell, Lough, Liuklater, and MoHay. Mr. Hicks defended himself wall. A. Molloy, of Cranbrook, read a valuable paper on "Education from a moral stand- point," in which he dealt with different phases of the subject, and referred to many of the factors in the inoufeation of whole- ome morality. The opinions of the essay - at were endorsed by the aoeooiation. In be disouseion of the paper, Messrs. Link- ater, Rieke, Shaw, Hagerty, Muir, Mal. look, Doig, and Revs. Howell and Edmunds ook part. 5, 0. Karsten° presented his views on Teacher's Examinations. He spokestrong- in favor of a high standard as the true way of keeping education progressive. His aper will be revised shortly, and given to be preen. An animated discussion by Bev. air. Edmunds, Drs. Coleman and mith, and Messrs. Malloch, Lough, Hicks M cCoughoy, Linklator, A. McKay, C. Ma- as, and J.W. Shaw, brought the of tornoon session to a close. The Friday morning seaeion wee opened fth prayer by Mr. Turnbull, of the Clinton igh School. Tho minutes of the previous ay were read and adopted. On the mo - ion of Messrs. Turnbull and Newton, A. Burohill wee appointed Secretary, Mr. Lough gave notice that ab the next meeting of the Assooiabfon he will make a °tion to have the fee for memborahip re. ucod, and that each teacher proems his :Binational journal on his own amount. J. W. Shaw, of Blyth, reported as dela• gate to the ProvincialAesoofation, Instead of reading epitomes of the various papers ad at that Association, he wisely gave r the apace of about ten minutes, his ob.'ervations on topics of direct interest to be profession. Messrs, Turnbull, Link. for and Hagarty ontoted into a discussion Mr. Shaw's remarks. Tho urinal vote of thanks was tendered the delegate, Mr. urnbull was next called an for his papers. °fore beginning the disonesion of the uestions in grammar given at the last vibrance examination, the spoaker'expros- d his gratification at seeing before him teaehors whom he oneo had as stud- ts of the Clinton High School. He ex - wised life sympathy with the teacher pre. acing pupils for tho cameo examination now conducted, Land also for tho much- ate—ranging in year's from 11 to 24 yowl ; he dwelt especially on questions 1, 2, 4, and 6 of the grammar paper, and showed o ideas underlying the 'batch" que8tione. o concluded his remarks by appealing to ° teachers to examine and support the portant problem, the inauguration of College of Prsoeptore."

It was moved by Mr. Hagerty, seconded by Mr. Turnbull that in view of the fact that there is one common examination for ontranoo to the High Schools throughout the Province; and also of the fact that it is too touch to expect of young candidates such as thee° seeking for entrance to High Sohoolo, to grasp the conflicting' point, it is the opinion of this association that one lommom text book, and only ono should be authorized for High Schools, and that the examiner should bo instructed to adhere to said text book in the preparation of bis papers.

Temperance Conirention B.IST HURON WO1tIIII .s IN COUNCIL. • • Lash Wednesday afternoon a tem peranee Convention of persons inter sated in this noble cause was held in the Town Hall, Brussels, the Preei dent, Rev. A, Y. Hartley, of Blue vale, in the chair. After tho open ing exercises the chairman gave a short address in which he marked out the work of the session and gave a short account of what had been done towards enforcing the Scott Act in East Huron, and referred to the County Convention having asked the Government to appoint J. D. Smith, of Gerrie, as Police Magistrate for the riding, without salary. It was mov- ed, seconded and carried unanimous. ly that this Association heartily ap. proves of the appointment and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Provincial Secretary, and to Thos. Gibson, DI.P.P„ for East Hur- on. At this juncture of the meeting a telegram was sent to the Attorney General asking if Mr. Smith had been appointed. A reply came stat- ing that the Attorney-General:was out of the city and the Deputy was at Sarnia in the dynamite case, now in progress. A lengthy disouseion on the oiranlarfrom the Ontario Govern. meat took place and the question of a salaried Polios Magistrate for the County took place and after a large number of persous had expressed their opinion on these subjects it was decided by a unanimous'vote that the County Oounoil be asked at their next session to recommend the Gov- ernment to appoint a Polies .Magis- trate for Huron County with salary. Tho President of this:Association was asked to maks the request of the County Oouucil. It was also deai& ed to notify the other temperance or- ganizations in the County of the act, ion taken by this Convention. Reports of progress wore made by the vice -Presidents from each taunt. oipality in the matter of local organ- ization. in the shape of electoral un. ions: Tho burden of the reports showed that this subjoot Was under consideration but as yet nothing def- inite had been done. F. S. Spence, of Toronto,. Secre- tary of the Dominion Alliance, was present and gave a stirring and ex. haustive address on the subject of Electoral Unions and advised ion• mediate action on this line. A hoar. ty vote of thanks was passed to Mr, Spence for his excellent and appro. print° address. Moved, seconded and oarriod that we adopt the platform of the Derain - ion Alliance in referents to Electoral Unions and that Rev, Mr, Wilkinson, of Toronto, of the Dominion Alli• anoe, bo secured to do the organiz. °tion work for the riding, Tho vice.

The afternoon session was brought to a close by the benediction. US t NO. 14 Every n unieipality in the East riding was represented excepting Hallett township, A public meeting was held is the evening and the Town Ball was well filled with an attentive and very ap. preciativo audience. On the plat. form were seated Bowie. Mortars. Mc. Rao. Jones, Ross, Cook, Smyth, Patel, Kerr and Olu10. The President occupied the chair. After singing "Hold the fort," Rev. R. Paul, of Ethel, led in prayer. The chairman, after a few well tinted introductory remarks, called upon Miss Kerr for a solo. This was followed by a spirit ed, pointed address of ten minutes by Rev. Mr. Cook, of Blnevale, Miss Maggie Stewart contributed a solo, after which the speaker of the even- ing, Mr. Spence, was introduced and received with great applause. For over an hour and a-Lalf the speaker dealt with the temperance question and so carried the audience by his oratory, very practical illustrations and incontrovertible facts that people were surprised to find that time had so rapidly passed. Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Fletcher, G. A. Powell and W. H. Kerr sang "The King's Highway," after which a neatly worded vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer by Revde. Messrs. Smyth and Rose. Mr. Spence is unmistakably one of the best platform speakers in the Dominion and those who were not at the Hall on Wednesday missed the treat of the season. Miss Kerr sang "God bless our home," and Rev. Mr. Ross dismissed the meeting. The meeting was, without doubt, the best held in Brussels for the past 10 years, and good cannot help but result from it. Mr. Spence returned to Toronto on Thursday morning. Subscriptions will be received at Tam Pox Publishing House for Mr. Spsnce's paper, "The Citizen," pub- lished at $1.00 per year. Every temperance man should have it and keep posted on temperance questions. LOCAL ITEMS. Dm you read Adam Good's advt. this week. TRY Tap 208T for the balance of the year for 25 cents in advance.
