PRINCE ALBERT, MA ee -- BEAUTIFUL MAY, Beantiful May, = with her nomerous charms, ie again in our midst, on her glo- rious, mission, awakening our trees and sbifubs from their winter slumber, giving bith to_ our flowers, germination to our grains and grasses, and resuscilating into life acd vigor the active host of the insect world. Mankind teo--the lord of theee--is far from being indifferent or unaffected by her charms, they brighten the eye, {cheer the heart and lend elasticity 10 the springs of hfe, and her propitious smile is an al- most inlallible precursor of a froitful har- vest. But while May has her charms and her gifts, she has also her demands, and one of her ohiel demands is that we tidy up and prepare to meet her somewhat ardent #tceessors. Now is the time to tidy up our yards and clean oul our gutters. There is to demand at this season of the year more imperative than this and certainly noné on which the health and comlort of the inhab- itants so closely hang. Lei the slush and filth remain in the gutters and become pu- til, as 1t soon will when exposed to the sun's rays, then shall the pestilential efflu- viom find its way into the atmosphere, seek 118 admission into the abodes of men, and there scatter disease 'and death along its fatal course. Fever, the most dreaded, bot unfailing attendant on putrid gutters, enfers our abodes by night and by day, se- Tects the father--the prop and stay of the howsehold--the mother, the'angel guardian of her home ; or it may be the bright boy orthe interesting girl whom the virus se- ects for his own and prostrates in the morn of life. We then feel the burning stroke, whine around, and in our anxiety to get some one on whom to lay the blame we luy it all 10. Providence, while the fact i= that in almost every instance the genera- tion of these diseases are attributable to our own or our neighbor's sloth or carelessness in allowing those sources of fever and all similar diseases to lie amongst our feet and propagate 1hose deadly foes which attack us unperceived., There is scarcely a village in the Province that would require more than 25 cents from each --ratepayer to clean up every sewer, take away the rubbish, open up the gutters aud carry off the stagnant water, and thus destroy the prime propagators of febrile dis: eases ; punfy the atmosphere, and render our villages not only conductive to health, but pleasant to the eye and infinitely more agreeable as a residence for an intelligent community. It is the worst possible policy to withhold a lew cents in warding off dis- ease and spending hundreds of dollars in fizhtingit. The villages ofjReach, in point of cleantiness, health and comfort will com- pare favorably with those of any other township in the Province, but still there are in each of them one or more spots where the insideous disease is permitted to garmi- nate undisturbed and to make his attacke at " will. There are more than one spot in Port Perry which require immediate atten. tion, these are not in keeping with the energy of that enterprising village. Mana chester too has a rather ugly ditch running ~ or rather, we should say, standing--along the wast side of the main street, and which will doubtless receive that immediate atten- tiongwhich it so much requires. e are two or three places in Prince Albert requiring attention--a large portion of the side-walk north of the village has taken the petand left its moorings, to the no small inconvenience of passengers. Tha; locality is_also favored with a supply of slagnant water which onght to be made to pass on. Lof a committee of improvement be appointed in each village, whose duty it shall be to do battle with every enemy of health and comfort.

For some time past parties living around one of our neighboring villages were plagued by baving their sheep and lambs destroyed by hounds; but it was found somewhat difficult to catch them in their owners iu for the mutton bill ; hence the hounds continued to board at the pub- lic expense, the township paying 3 and the owners of the sheep } of the bill, so that the brutes dined free. One of them went once too often lowever., A party got 5 lambs killed in one night and wisely rea. soned that one of the depredators at least would be likely to ¢ome for his supper the following evening, so the party waited patiently on his expected guest; he had unmolested.

Like all other earthly enjoyments, however, the pleasure afforded by the music of these sweet songsters is diminished to a certain extent, by a little too much familiarity on their part with ladies' dresses and gents' calves. Two of our leading citi zens--one of them an important officer on Her Most 'Graticus Majesty's staff-- were riding peacefully through our village tke other day, eccompanied by a handsome spotted dog, when all at once a dozen or two of our surplus hounds made a dash at poor spotty, apparently determined to take the spots out of him.

Since hat morning the sheep and lambs in that neighborhood are will be allowed to compete for any certifi cate except that of the lowest class unless said applicant shall have taught succees- fully for at least three'years; so that all new | applicants as wel) as those who have taught a less time than three years must in the first instance at least be willing to accept oaly the lowest grade certificate --such cer- tificates will only be good in the County in which they are obtained.; Applicants who may have taughtmore than three years but less than five cannot compete for a higher than e second class certificate. Those hay- ing taught more than five years can com- pete for any certificate, in the first instance at least ; but if the few Act should live £0 long, which is not at all likely--no renewal of 3rd clasees will be allowed after the end of three years except in special cases. -- The Examination papers for the 3rd or lowest class, i.e, the County Board 2nd class will doubtless be similar as far as range of studies and difficulty is concerned to former papers for a like class in this County. To attempt to make them more dif- ficult would be most injudicions, as in all | likelihood the object aimed at would be en- tirely defeated, That the tendenoy of the standard should be upward, no one would seek lo deny, but the advance, for some time at least, should not consist, either in increase in number or difficulty of tha sub- jects,but in the neatness and accuracy of the work ; and to this intending applicants will do well to pay attention and accustom themselves to getting up neat aud acourate papers--neatness is half the baftlg. One very important addition which the examination programme under the new regime will contain is composition, and intending applicants will do well to give a little attention to this art, both as to neatness | of mechanical arrangement and . proper modes of expression . Another addition to the programme for the lowest grade certificates consists in a knowledge of school organization, of the: proper classification of pupils, and of the school law, so far as it relates to teachers. These are the only additions to the pro- gramme, 60 far as 3rd class or lowest grade certificates go, and we would again advise Ht intendi | place, but there are some things which it is the most difficult thing in the world to Joe Howe is, in the estimafion of him- self, a wonderful man, and in order to prove this to the world, he has perpetrated a letter of two long columns, setting out " Frignds, countrymen and lovers, lend me your lugs," after which he treats his readers to an autobiography covering a ing the best interests of Nova Scotia. Of 'course Joseph keeps in the back ground under training up ti County Board certificates, besides ing all the subjects of the 3rd grade--a little more intensified--containe some additional ones, such as m ing, book-keeping, mensuration, , Euclid, natural philosophy, chemistry,'| botany and human physiology: This rather formidable array of subjects must not alarm intending applicants or cause them to confine their aspirations to the lowest grade.
