NORMAL SCHOOL.

ANNUAL EXAMINATION. There were present, as spectators of the closing oral exercises at the Normal School this foreneon, the Revd’s D Fitzgerald, Isaac Murray, J. Lathern, — Steele, J. McLeod, Dr. Johnston, His Worship the} Mayor, Robert ‘Shaw, Esq., Rh ge fe, | Yundall, H. Lawson, P. R. Bowers, Aubery C. Hamilton, and other:. The Principal announced that he Lad received letters from the Lieutenant and the Justice expressing their regret that they It is rather singular that

Governor

could not attend. no member of the Gevernment was present. We felt it to be our duty to sensure the Davies administration on one occasion for a simijar deliriction, though they cailed themselves, par excellence, the Free Scheol Gevernment; and we cannot allow the absence of all the members of the present Government to pass unnoticed. The Normal Schoul is sv important a branch of one of the most important departments of the Government, that the Administration of the day should take an active and personal interest in it; and any want of attention should not be very readily excused.

Several classes were examined by pupil teachers, who displayed a good deal of ability in the art of teaching. The exer- cises were very pleasing. When they were over the school was briefly addressed by the} ] Principal, Rev. -Mr. Lathern, Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, the Mayor and Mr. Shaw. All expressed their gratification with the ex- amination; and expressed the hope that the cfliciency of the school would be fully maintained.

After the speeches came the following

; ; ak received. They would have

public to the extent of $50,000. They directed moneys which were paid in 1878 to be charged in the accounts oi 187°. Yet the Putriot effects to think them fine worthy of the people's confidence. Bat because the Examine examines Into and

their suspicions ‘‘suspense accounts

questions their right to saddle the present Government with their extravagances, the Patriot attacks the Hon. D. Ferguson with the vizerous language of an accomplished fish- wife, Mr. Ferguson is ‘‘ mean,” ‘‘ dirty,” unmanly,” ‘‘ most dishonorable.” He has ‘of a sneak,” ‘‘ a savage,” nor

acted the part ‘a coward.” He is and it is to be hoped that his

‘‘neither clever honest ;” colleagues are not parties to his ‘* disgrace- ful and ruffianly proceeding” etc., ete., etc., etc. All of which shows that the Patriot is left without a fact or an argu- ment upon which to hang (a plea for the late Government.

Mr. Ferguson will not, of course, deign

-to notice the billingsgate to which he is

treated. To do so would be to lower his position and himself in the eyes of the

whole community. Character is a shield

Chief | against calumny ; and Mr. Ferguson’s char- acter as a man of genuine ability is too well established to suffer injury from such an enemy as the Putriot.

It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to add

that the Hen. Mr. Ferguson was not the

writer of the Examrner’s article to which

the Patriot alludes.

City Council. |

The Council met at 8 o'clock last even-

ing. There were present—-the Mayor, the Recorder, Councillors Peake, Beer, Lawson, Davy, Horne, Hooper and Byrne.

The memorial of J. J. O'Reilly, with

reference to his salary as reporter to the Council and to other matters, was read.

Councillor Beer thought the memorial a He supposed that if He did not think any notice CounBiLLoR Byrne said he could throw

ittle or no light upon the matter. But if money to

CounciLtoR PEAKE was surprised that

Mr. ©’Rielly should have sent in this peti- tion now ; for last year the city, by adver- tisement, requested the presentation of all accounts agamst it; but Mr. O’Rielly then made no claim.

We, the Studeats of the. Normal School, feel that we cannot allow the term to expire without expressing our regard, and our appre- ciation of the services you have rendered us during the past five months, in imparting to us the principles of a sound practical educa- tion.

The willingness displayed by you as teachers at all times, in assisting us to surmount the difficulties that seemed to rise before us to) thwart us in our’ course, has been a great source of encourgement, inspiring us with new life and earnestness ; and we assure you that the efforts thus put forth have not been lost sight of or passed by unappreciated.

In separating, we'shall not sever the ties that have bound us together so closely during

The Trade of our Country.

The Canada Gazette contains the follow- ing monthly statement of goods exported from the Dominion of Canada (exclusive of British Columbia) for April, 1878:—

The annual meeting of the General As- sembly of the Canada Presbyterian Church opened in St. Andrew's church, Ottawa, on Wednesday last. Some 350 delegates were present. In order to provide fer the ac- commodation of the visitors a billeting com- mittee composed of two representatives from each of the Presbyterian churches in the city had been appointed ; but there was a good deal of delay in billeting the dele- gates, owing to the clerks of the different Presbyteries not being prompt in sending

delegates.

PHDESTRIANIOM. | Close of the 12 Hours Walk.

¢i Miles and 3 Laps in i2 Hours.

‘>

Tur conelusion of the walking match at -he citizens Skating Rink attracted much attention. From seven o'clock until the result was made known the interior of the Rink was crowded and the street.and lot adjoining the building were thronged with |spectaturs. Towards ten o'clock the excite- ment became intense, and as each contest- ant lapped his leader he was lustly cheered by his admirers. With the exception of Franshaw, all contestants appeared to be at variance with their feet wear. MeNeill, who appeared in a pair of new prunellas, had to abandon the track on account of sore feet, at 2.15. McInnis at first wore light prunella shoes. He got lame in the afternoon, and changed these shves for a heavy pair of new ‘ankle jacks.’

‘hey appeared to hnrt him sorely, but he continued to walk— displaying unrivelled pluck-—to the end. McCloskey at the start wore new canvass shoes. In turn his feet rapidly heated and towards evening he was compelled to don a pair of old shoes. Wake- land wore common walking boots. His feet heated several times, but he continued to plod along with great eudurance till eight o’clock, when he left the track for an hour’s rest, and returned with renewed vigor. Crowley, who at first took every- thing easjly, fell back a greater distance than he could expect to recover at the close, and therefore abandoned the track about six o’clock. Carroll for like reasons follow- ed suit shortly afterwards. Bevan, who is a man about forty-five years of age, spurted with remarkable agility during the match. His attempts to lap a leader causod much merriment among the spectators. Me- Kinnon an Pemphrase led until the eighth hour. After this time Pemphrase com- menced to lag and fell back entirely,towards the close. It was the opinion of.many that he would leave the track. McKinnon, though much exhausted, kept up his kill- | ing pace throughout. — Franshiaw, at the ninth hour, held second position, and Me- Kinnon first. Franshaw began +o lap him, and in less than half an hour came up abreast, and ‘assumed the lead. From this point forth the contest was most exciting. All seemed to dash for the fore. Bevan spurted, Wakeland spurted, Mc- Closkey spurted, and Franshaw kept up his lively staying pace, constantly increasing his lead. As one contestant lapped another loud cheers would greet the lapper’s success. McCloskey, who was constantly lapping Mc- Kinnon, and pushing for second place, fell sick about twenty minutes past ten, and

departure from the track clearly decided that Franshaw was the winner of the first, and McKinnon the winner of the second prize. The contest was then between Bevan, Wakeland, and McInnis, fer the third Wakeland was far behind Bevan and MelInnis at 10 o’clock, but on the last hour he gained sixteen laps over each, and thus carried off the third money.

AROMATIC MONTSERRAT a QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at ence a palatable and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for although the 7'onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils vonse- quent upon the Aicoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in theif tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Qhinine in each wineglassful. and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prej-ared solely from the Mont- — Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics.
