would prefer to remain on the faansa.

Mr. and ales. Elliott are among the
most highly esteemed, people in the
township, and have done their share

'years of wedded bliss, it is a much
rarer occurrence for that many years

doubly happy in the fact that every
member of their household is still, liv-
ing. After refreshments had been

dence of the -very high • esteeto
in which they are held in the

so long. Mr. Pickard is in his .81-th •
year, and though somewhat feeble he
hopes to enjoy this life for seine time

ly mane' to what it was in the daya uf
the Primary Examination. Here, as
elsewhete, the abolition of the Pettit-
ary, and tbe establishment of (=Linn'
Own ()lasses have tended to diminish
the attendanee at high schools. The
effect of the latter cause is seen ha the
„relatively smaller number of county
pupils now •in attendance. At one
dine the county ,pupils formed' one-
half of the school ; now the town pup-
ils outnumber those from the county
by nearly fifty per cent. As the con-
tinuation Masses ate more within
reach of many, the above, result is ua,t.,
urea enough. There is panuiee, hew -
ever, of good attendance in the upper
forms, especially in the fifth, vehere
the work Is beyond that of continua-
tion classes.

anew. The wide front staicway has
been removed, and the space it re-

floored in.
. This gives space for hat

ridors, and also space for a large and
comfortable private room for the *staff,

ariativo side entrances for the pupils, to
which, in a few days more, granolithic

been placed n the front

ones will :probably be 'placed an the
side walls. Tae ' interior of the 'build -
ins; has been re -calcimined and painted.
The floors have been levelled and
painted, and altagtther the inside ap-
pearance is greatly improved. When
the libraries and apparatus are prop-
