SHOOTING MATCH.—A grand shoot- ing match for about 25 turkeys, 30 geese and 30 ducks, will be held at lot 19 con. 16, Goderich Tp., on Saturday, October 19th. INSPECTOR MALLOOH has been attending his duties in the north part of the county the last couple of weeks, in the meantime attend ing the semi-annual meeting of the North Huron Teachers' Association at Brussels. CLINTON'S CHALLENGE CUP.— There will be a great rivalry to• marrow and some sharp shooting will have to be made by the mem- ber who first wins the handsome Clinton Challenge Cup. Already the membership is far in advance of other years. THE GRAIN MARKET.—There has next to no grain come in here this fall. The same "holding on' is characteristic of farmers in other localities. Prices are low and there has not been ten bushels of grain marketed this year for every one hundred up to this time last year. CHURCH MILITANT BAND.—Satur- day the brass band of the Canadian household troops of the; Salvation Army visited Clinton. They were uniformed nicely and they played well. They gave musical demon• strations on Saturday and Sunday to the evident pleasure of many of Our citlzene. L. 0.

The brethren of 710 will meet in their lodge room on the evening of the 5th November at 7 o'clock sharp. A full• attendance is requested. BROTHERHOOD OF MANKIND.— Friondship is the .tuedicine for mis- fortune. W'ho easeth the miser-. able of their burden shall never' want treasure. Without being speci- fic we may mention that Mr. Chris. Dickson of the City Book Store and Mr. Bell of the Prince of Wales Motel, each gave $5 for a deserving local benevolent purpose last week, and a number of other citizen', gave liberally. NOT AFTER THE FEE.—The fol- lowing from the Hamilton Spectator does grave injustice.to Mr. Manning when it insinuates, that when the gentleman takes the pulpit his main object is monetary compensa- tion : Mr. Manning, a lawyer, of Clinton, Ont., went to Berlin last Sunday and preached a . sermon from Rev. Mr. Howell's pulpit. It is said that he made a very effec- tive address on behalf of his client. -And it is safe to bet that he didn't forget to pass the plate for the fee.

And right glad all wore to see him. He is looking much more robust than when living here, and though well up in years we all wish him a happy prolongation of life, and future pleasant interviews. 18TH ANNUAL. RIFLE MATCHES To- MonRow.—The Huron Rifle Associa- tion will hold their annual matches on Thursday of ,hie week, over the Atholcott Ranges, Clinton. We learn from the official programme that there will be five matches : $20 in prizes in .the first, $26 in the second, $30 in the Lhird, $55 in the fourth, including an elegant silver challenge cup, presented by the citizens of Clinton ; tho fifth for cash and kind—in all snaking a total of $150.00.

WE BUY CHEAP ! WE SELL CHEAP! e Chris. Dickson, Clinton COINCIDENCE.—Mr. John Smith, tailor, of town, turned another mile- stone iu the journey through life, on the 1 lth October, his birthday. His father also was born on the 11th October, and died on the Ilth Octo- ber, and Mr. Smith's oldest son was born on the Ilth October. f BE WARNED IN TIME.—Members or others in possession of clothing, arms or aceoutroments belonging to No. 4 Company, 33rd Battalion,' -are required to deliver the same at the Armory in Clinton without delay. Instructiona have been received to prosecute all who fail to comply with official advertisement in anoth- er column. Be warned in tinge. AN EXCUSE.—Miss Kirby is the name of the artiste -milliner at Detlor & Co's. Owing to the ornate chiro- graphical embellishments of the "copy" we were led to make the name " Ruby," which, though pos- sihly appropriate, is not prosaically correct. We tender our excuse for changing the young lady's name without her consent or the aid of a parson. ; WRONG AGAIN.—Our town totem is wrong again when it says that rt the senior editor of this paper ex- pected ere this to be holding a gov• eminent position." That is not true. But even were it true it is no justification for the Era circulating the unfounded report that arrange- ments Were in progress to transfer Judge Doyle to another county. His Honor knows nothing of such arrangements, and surely he would if a change was contemplated. TEACHERS' DOINGS.—In another column will be found a report of the doings in convention at Brussels last week. We received. the "copy" from C. Bowerman of S. S. No:' 8, .Grey. Its legibilitycheered the hearts of the compositors, and it appeara to be a model of detailed terseness. In both respects it is worthy of being emulated. Teach- ers cannot do better thein collate the news in their localities and send them to the press. We shall be pleased to hear from more of them than we now do. GOETZ G.:tMBi.Es.—Quite a COM motion was created at Walkerton on Saturday by the trial of Mr. Matthew Goetz, J. P., of Formosa, on a charge of Sunday gambling. Constable Heffernan made thecom- plaint, Mr. Shaw, Q. C., appeared for the prosecution ; AG'. Klein for the defence; and the case was tried before Messrs. McNamara and Ritchie, Justices of the Peace. Mr. Goetz and two others were playing cards for money in the kitchen of a certain hotel at Formosa on Satur- day night, August 31st last, and continued to play there until three o'clock Sunday morning, The Dominion Act respecting gaming houses, defines cards to be " instru- ments of gaming," and the magis- trates holding the facts to he estab- lished, and that the words " or otherwise," in tho Ontario Act, covered gambling by any iuetru• ments of gaming, found Mr. Goetz guilty of the charge. They fined him $40 and $10 coats. FINE IfonsEs.—Friday being an exceptionally fine day our reporter took advantage of an invitation ex- tended by Mr. R. McCullough and drove to Brucefiold. Mr. T. C. Doherty was also along. Arrived there we were shown a duartetto of fine entire horses, the property of Mr. Peter McGregor, all of thong imported. The animals were loose in separate, roomy box stalls and playful as kittens. The favorite with many won id he it two-year old imported Kentucky Chesnut sire, of handsome proportions and sinewy and muscular withal. An- other was a blocky, thick, arch neck- ed English bay hack or cob sire, his ahort-coupled, well rounded barrel, denoting great strength, and not an indentation in it so plumply is it filled out. The other two sires aro imported bay Clydesdales, with white pointsand they seemed to be splendid specimens of their class. While not effusive in describing his stock the proprietor should he proud of the content° of his stable, and Mr. McGregor is only one of the many horse brooders who aro keeping up the reputation of Huron county as the home of the finest horses in the world. Mr. McGregor treated us in princely style. ma THE SEMI ANNUAL MEETiNG OP THE NORTH HURON TEACHERS' ASSO- CIATION. The semi annual meeting of the North Huron Teachers' Association was held in the public school, Brus- sels. on 'Thursday and Friday of last week. The forenoon session of Thurs. day opened at 10 30 with an attend- ance of only about 21 members. After Scripture reading and prayer by the president, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. The president then de. livered his opening address, in which he touched upon many points of in- terest to the teachers present. He regretted tile absence of so many members. He said teachers were paid for these days, -and should not regard therm es holidays to be partly spent in visiting their friends. All should hecoine members of the In- stitute and not only be at the place of meeting punctually, .bit should also take an active part in the dis• cussions. A committee; consisting of the president, the secretary and Mr. Campbell was then' appointed to assist the local teachers in preparing for the evening meeting. In the afternoon the attendance was greatly augmented by new arri- vals pouring in. The secretary, A. H. Plummer, read the minutes of the forenoon session, which were at once adopted as read. Then a reporttng committee was appointed, consist- ing of Messrs. Bowerman, Black, McFadzean and Plummer. Commit- tees were next appointed on Resolu- tions, and, General Business, after which a synopsis of the proceedings at the last meeting of the Provincial Teachers' Institute was given by the delegate, Mr. Doig, who showed by his interesting and instructive re• port that E. Huron was pretty well represented at the Niagara meeting. A discussion then arose between Mr. Doig anti Thos. Gibson, Esq., M. P.P., who happened to be, present, in which theformer objected to re-' ducing the grant to Higli Schools, and asked the latter td',rjxplain the stand he took in the House on the Teachers' Superannuation Fund ques- tion. Mr. Gibson proved equal to the occasion and very ably defended his position on both questions. Some other points touched upon in the delegate's report were then discuss- ed. Mr. Doig held that the teachers did not receive much practical bene• fit in Normal and Model Schools. Too much time was there taken up in fine spun theories from Baldwin and Fitch. Messrs. Taylor and Cornyn in reply defended the present system of training teachers in those iichools. Mr. D. 'Johnston thought that teach- ers should have the benefits of Nor. mal training first before they began teaching. This plan was opposed by Messrs. Taylor,Blackwell and Cornyn, the latter saying it was good enough in theory but impossible to put into practice on account of the expense young teachers would be put to. Other points of minor interest were then brought up, after which Mrs. B. Kirkman read a number of valu- able extracts from a book entitled "Teachers and Teaching." Mr. Clarkson next read a paper on° the "Wants and woes of Teachers," which was well received. The throe great woes he referred to were isola- tion, poverty, and the yearly engage- meut; for each of which he suggested remedies that would reduce the wants of teachers to a minimum. A motion to have the paper published in full in the local papers was carried by a large majority. - In the evening an entertaiument was given in the town hall. The programme was a good one and was well carried out. '('here was a large attendance and the proceeds amount- ed to over $28. About $8 had to be takc n out of this, however, to defray expenses. Friday's session began at 9 a.m. After the reading and adoption of the minutes of Thursday's meeting, Mr. Blackwell read a very suggestive and practical essay on the teaching of Composition. Thoughts, he said, met precede words. The first thing to do is to get the pupils to after which they will have little difii• culty in getting words to express the ideas. Show pictures and get the class to talk about them. The pic- tures in the reading lessons can thus be used with great advantage, the teacher making each lesson in Part I. and Part If. of the First Reader the basis of an oral language lesson. Ile then suggested many valuable kinds of exercises for third and fourth classes and highly recommended some that he had tried in his own school. Mr. J. if. Cornyn next took up the subject of Writing, with a class of seven or eight pupils from the Brums eels public school. lie first put some writing on the blackboard and then judiciously questioned- the class and asked them to criticize errors which he put on the board similar to those some of them made on their slates in copying his writing. He • also read an essay on the successful teaching of writing in schools. HIe teaches t , , * t * t * * t * i• * t * t * WID • -I OPEN * * •1• * 4• * •i * 4717.7.7.17777=—* ..

Considerable discussion followed and then Mr. Clarkson read the following resolu. tiona :- (I) Resolved, that the Public School History is quite unsuited to the class- es for which it is authorized, and that a book written' in simpler language should be substituted as soon as possible. (2) Resolved, that 3rd class certifi- ficates should be made valid for five years, that the Model School Term should be extended to two sessions, and that the holders of third class certificates be required to spend the remainder of the year as assistants under supervision before they are eligible to assume full charge of a school. (3) Resolved, that in the opinion of this Association the, time has arrived for the total abolition of per- mits under eny form. (4) That whereas this Association has repeatedly expressed its disap- proval of uniform promotion exam- inations, Resolved, that we view the recent action of the Couihty Council in regard to the compulsory intro- duction of these examinations as neutralizing the spirit of the Depart- mental Regulations. (5) Resolved, that the cordial thanks of this Association be tendered to 'Revs. J. Ross, S. Sellery, and other kind friends who assisted in the pro- gr•amtne on Thursday evening ; and also to the Brussels public school board of trustees and the village council for the use of the public school building and the town hall. All the resolutions were adopted except the 2nd and 4th, which were laid over till the next meeting. The appointment of auditors was next made, and resulted in F. Metcalf and N. If. Young, of Blyth, being chosen, after which it was decided that a change should bo made in the mode of electing officers. In the suture voting will be done by ballot during the forenoon of the second day of the annual meeting..
