' 6 SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT. — The en- tertainment given in the school here on Thtirsday evening of last week was, in ev- ery respect, a grand success. The evening being beautifully clear, and the roads all that could be desired, many couples enjoyed a long sleigh ride. Long before the hour for opening, the house was filled to over- flowing, causing the door-kesper to be in constant demand. A very lengthy and most varied programme, consistingof 38 pieces, was placed in the hands of Mr. J. McGregor, who most ably filled the chair. The yams' department was furnished by schoolgirls' Kindergarten songs, Bolos by Mime Cook, Kinburn, and Messrs, Crawford, Best and Nailing, while the duet by Smillie and Crawford, and the Kippen Quartette highly pleased the audience. Instrumental music was most ably rendered by Mies Stewart, of Blyth, Miss Cook and Miss Monteith; mouth orgsn selections by Messrs. Kirby, Hannah arid Allen Brothers; music on the concertina bi Mr. Thomson,of Kippen, while the Messrs. Belli, with Miss Morrison eating as accompanist, delighted the heuse with the captivating strains of the violin. To Ray the least about the di- elcrgues, they were most humorous and nt- tractive, the actors performing their parts most efficiently. A number of very inter- esting readings and recitations were also given. Dr. Cooper delivered a most ex- cellent addresg, in his usual happy style, on Matrimony. No doubt the doctor ere long will practise what he advocates. After the singing of the national anthem, the meeting dispereed, all feeling greatly satisfied with the evening's entertainment.

EXAMINATIONS.—An examination of the pupils of school section No. 8, Hallett, was held_ here in thstschool house on Thursday, 21st inst. There was a large attendance of parents and visitors, and the pupils con- ducted themselves in a manner highly cred- itable bath to themselves and to their teachers, Mr. Stickle and Miss McLaughlin. ' The various classes were examined by the teachers in charge, assisted by Messrs. W. M. Doig, J. H. Lowrey, C. D. Doig, and Miss Day, and judging from the ready man - net in which the pupils answered the vari- ous questions, they have been carefully and systematically taueht. At noon a bountiful repast was served by the ladies of the sec- tion, to which ell did ample justice. In the afternoon a very interesting and instructive programme was rendered by the teachers and pupils, assisted by the young people of the section. At the conclusion of the ex- amination short addresses were delivered by the Rev, Mr. Fair, and by Messrs. Lowery, Doig and McConnell, all of whom expressed themselves well satisfied with the examina- tion and the !standing of the school. Mr. Stickle who had taught the senior depart- ment of this school during the past year, has severed his connection as teacher'and returned to his home in easterr Ontario, much to the regret of the truster* parents and pupils, as he was not only a suceresful teacher but a valuable and useful citizen,and will be much missed in social and church circles. As a slight mark of the esteem in which he was held by his pupils they pre- gented him withe beautiful watch chain, ac- corapanied by a neatly worded address, to which Mr. Stickle made a feeling and suit- able reply. Morris. - ExAmisAinor,-. —A public examination of the pupilit of the school in section No. 1, Morris, was held on the 22nd inst. There was an immenee attendance of visitors, thus showing that the people of this section take a deep intereat in the education of the young! mid rising generation. There were 'a large number of teachers and ex -teachers present, among whom we noticed the following, viz.: Meanie Hazlewood, Black, McLauchlan, W. Doig, Rose, Hoeg, Scott, Kerr. C. D. Doig, Sloan, Knechtel, Bieiby, Taylor and Misses Deg, R038, Hazlewood, Marshall, Kirkby and Watson. The various chime were examined by the teacher in charge, Mr W. J. Tough, assisted 1by several of the visiting teaohersaind judging from the ready manner in which the pupils answered the queatione, they had beeh efficiently trained. The school house was beautifully decorated with mottoes, evergreens, &it At noon a bountiful repast was served by ,the ladies of the section, to which all did ample juetice. The examination was interspersed at inter- vals by recitations, dialogues, musical selec- tions, &c. At the conclusion of the examin- ation short addresses were delivered by the • Rev, Mr, McLean;of Blyth, and by Messrs Hogg, Scott, Doig and McLauchlan, all of whom expressed themselves well satisfied with the standing of the school. Mr.Tough, who has taught this school ,eo successfully during the past five yeare has severed hie connection as teacher, much to the regret of both parents and pupils awl will be much missed,as he was not °illy a encoeseful teach- er but a worthy and ueefful citizen. It is a greet pity to Bee such able men as Mr. Tough leaving the teaching profession,buta the remuneration is not sufficient to keep hien of ability in the ranks, we find that everyarear a large number of our best teach- ers are entering other professions, and what is worse many of them are forsaking -their native land to become citizens of the Great Republic, while their places here are being taken by young end inexperienced but :cheap teachers. As a slight mark of the esteem in which Mr. Tough was 'held by his pupils, they presented him with a beautiful ,Bible, and for which he made a feeling and suitable reply. He's Coming. J.' Y.

Lucas, D.D., of Grims- by, says : I asked a man 70 years old, "Is it not about time that you gave your heart to God endeavoring to save your soul ? You are getting to be an old man and you will soon be in the eternal world ?" He said, " Mr. Lucas, I could not serve God in the business I am following." What- ever could the man have been doing Was he turning over tho soil, to produce wheat for human subsistence ? Was he making boots to screen our feet from the gravel of the road, or coats to protect us from the cold, or railways to carry our produce, or ships to sail to distant coasts Was he fur- nishing clean meals to hungry travelers et a reasonable charge? When I say a reason - &Wee charge, I mean a charge by which he could live and honestly support hie family. Was he furnishing clean beds to tired trav- elers at a reasonable charge and so benefit- ting his fellow men? Wheat, boote coats, railways ships, meals, beds ! gurely for none of these things would any intelligent man's con- science smite him and force him to say, t` I could not serve God and do these things." Then what could he have been doing ? He -was selling to his neighbor certain liquids, the drinking of which he knew was doing him harm—very grievous harm. Be could see young men who came into his house five years ago, decent, sober, moral young men, now becoming sots. He could now hear their profanity and their loud stooge awl see their fighting and beastly behavior, and he knew it was all because of certain drinks he was selling them. Said he, " I could not serve God in the busineas I am following," In a little town in Manitoba where I spoke a few nights some time ago, a terrible thing had happened just a few days before. A young Englishman had first tried to kill his wife, but did not succeed; then he tried and did succeed in killing himself. Every- one in the town knew that it all came of "the drink." The keeper of the largest ho. tel was spoken to about the liquor businese just when everybody was talking of the suicide.

His Experience With Fish': At one point where4he highway approach- ed the Congaree Rivet, I found an aged negro sitting on a log fishing. I watched him for a while, and te he got no bites I fin- ally queried : I ' How does it go, uncle ?" "Pore, sah—werrYisere," he replied. "Haven't you caught' any ?" ' "No, sah. i ,," No bites 9" , \ " No, sah. I'ze been right here fur half a day, an' I'ze had rhy eye g on dat line an' skassly drawed my breff de hull time,.but I hain't fiad a nibble." , "But it appears like a good spot to fish!" " Shetdo, sa,h. Reckon darshain't ire bet- ter spot on dis hull ribber." J "What are you baited wit 9" " Nuffie', eah. Jest drop ii de bar hook are les her hang dar'. Mebb I orter rub it with a rabbit's fut, but I dune°. Reckon it tsould do any good ?" "I don't see how you expeat to catch fifill on a bare honk," I said so he lazily lifted the line, ' " No, I don't much 'spect to cotchsny " 7, he replied. "But You are spending your time with a pole and line." •- " Yes, I'm keepin' right at it." "Look here'uncle, why don't you dig some bait and fieh in the regular way and give yourself a show 9" --" On 'count my 'sperience, sah," he mild- ly replied as he looked round in a sleepy way. "What sort of experience ?" " Why, sah, I fished in de Catawba Rib- ber fur' goin' on ten Yam an' I used to use bait all de time. What was de result? In d e Net place it war mo' work to keep de hookdraited dan it was to cifbp out cotton or hoe co'n fur a dollar a day, an' in de next place I nebber got no sleep while I was &la- in'. rt got so dem fish aspected bait from Sunday mawin' to Saturday night, and I was dun used tip all de time.
