The following is a. list otthe successful
candidates at the recent teachers' exam-
ination for this Comity. Thirty-eight
secondtelass candidates began work, but
many gave it up at the close of the first
' day after trying the test papers; Arith-
Biotic, algebra and. range were the sub-
jects which formed the principal stum-

noticed, only five were successful. For
third-class certific,atea 140 candidates re-
mained after the first day, and of this
number only 85 were successful. At
