SCHOOL EXAMINATION. =The quarterly
examination of School Section No. 4 was
held on the 27th inst. The pupils were
examined in all the various important
subjects taught in our public schools by
their teacher, Mr. James Smillie, assisted
by Mr. Weir, of Bayfield, and their an-
swering was such as to show careful and
thorough training on the part of their
teacher, and industry and forethought on
their own part. The pleasant, :cheerful,
orderly demeanor of the pupils was. re-
marked by all those present. Trustees
and teacher rnay well be congratulated
on the siiccess of the school under its
present management.
MR. EDITOR—Dear Sir—I am inform-
ed that a. m otion was moved,seconded and
carried by Stanley Council,some time ago,
as near as may be in the words given be-
low, with iastructions to the Clerk that
a copy thereof should be sent to the Gov-
ernment about the time of the meeting of
Parliament and the engineer in charge of
the works, William Kingsfoi d, Esq.
This motion, 1 regret to learn, was not
published with any of the other minutes
of that Counci_ ; nor as yet has it found
its way to the Government or the engin-
eer. Will you, therefore, kindly give
place to the same in your first issue. If
this is not a copy of the motion I shall
be glad to have it corrected by the Clerk,
with any explanation he may see fit to
give. The motion Was as follows :
"Whereas the sum voted by the Domin-
ion Government and supplemented by the
township of Stanley, for harbor works at
Bayfield, has been expended chiefly in
The Agricultural Cfroun4s.

SIR: At a special meeting of the
uckersmith Branch Agricultural Soci-
ety, held on Saturday last, a preposition
t lease the grounds for the purposes of a
riving and recreation park was voted
down. The proposal made to the Sa-
c ety, and agreed to by the directers, as
I understand it, was to Ipay double the
rent at present paid by the cricket club,
put and maintain the iremises in good
repair and to use it for purposes of
ainasement in Connection: with the town,
hie not in any way int4rfering with the
r quirements of the Society. It appears
t4 me that all the objections raised by
tite opponents 9f the scheme were very
s ccessfully met by its advocates, yet
tilte preposal was votedclown, on what
g ounds it would puzzle the wisest to
d termine. The only plausible objection
appeared to be an unaccountable preju-
dice against the enterprise and prosperity
of the town, to judge from the heated
manner in which Mr. Cresswell- their
chief spokesman—prophesied that in a
few years a recreation park would be an
unnecessary institution; as our grass -
gown streets would furnish sufficient
reom for such a purpoie.1 I would sug-
gest that the directors appoint Mr. G. E.
Cresswell to traverse the streets of
Seaforth before they become green and
canVessfor special prizes for the ap-
proaching exhibition.
