A HIGHLY CREDITABLE SHOWING.- -' At the requent of the principal no re- ference was made to the success of Clinton Public School at the time the result of the entrance examination was published. So much attention has been drawn to the success of other schools, it is but fair and just to our own school and the pupils who wrote to say that 31 wrote and 30 of these were successful, a percentage that re- flects much credit on both principal and scholars. Three of our pupils headed the list for the whzle county— Flossie King took 664 marks, Louise Holmes 861, and Hattie Courtice 644. One of the Goderich school pupils took 630 and another took 628 marks, while Josie Worthington, of Clinton, took 625 and Maud Moffatt 614 marks. No other pupils in the county took 600 marks. WEDDINGS.—The residence of Mrs A. H. Manning, Clinton, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Wednesday evening, when her sister, Miss Helen Coats, (second daughter of the late Win. Coats) was married to Mr Chas. G. Middleton, of Goderich township, eldest son of Mr Geo. Middleton. The contracting parties are well known, beingheld in the very highest esteem.

Stew- art performed the ceremony, in the presence of the immediate relatives of the parties, After receiving the con- gratulations of their friends, they pro- ceeded to their home in Goderich town- ship. Another interesting and happy event of this nature took place at the resi- dence of Mr John McGarva, yesterday afternoon, the contracting parties be- ing Rev. L. W. Diehl and Miss Mc- Garva, both of whom are so well known and highly esteemed in church and social circles, that further refer- ence to them is superfluous. The broth- er of the groom, Rev. H. W. Diehl, assisted by Rev. A. Stewart, • perform- ed the ceremony; Miss ('lata Middle- ton, of Goderich township, and Rev. W. L. Armitage the duties of brides- maid and groomsman respectively: Mr and Mrs Diehl left by the 4.45 p.m. train south, on their wedding tour, and carry with them the hearty con- gratulations of their hosts of friends here.

The dust raised by the wind was so bad on Saturday that the mayor• endeavored to secure ,watering facilities for the day, either from Mr Fair or Mr Miller, but could not do so, as neither—had--the-requisites-Iwai;: r._ The watering Of the streets for only an average of four months in the year is not sufficient, as the dust is often just as bad in. May or the latter part of September as at any other part of the year. The way in which the work is done by Mr Miller leaves little or no room for complaint; the work is well done, buteople complain that there is more or less unfairness in the way in which the necessary money is raised, and it -will be well to consider or de- vise some other plan if the work is to be continued in the future. Whether the work can be undertaken by the council, or continued as heretofore, by a private individual, will have to be considered. It means a considerable outlay in the shape of tank &c., and quite naturally Mr Miller does not care to make this unless there is some assurance that the work is to be per- manent.: SCHOOL TERM SCHOOL,1300. >A SCHOOL STATIC SCHOOL RE NOTES.—Mr Hugh Ross has second growth raspberries in his garden, growing on wood of this year's growth.
