Our school closed Thursday last, and wo have no doubt that the Easter holidays were welcomed both by teacher and pupils. The teacher will be allowed to strengthen his llightarm in order to wield the cat-o-nme-tails with "double away' for the remainder of the term. "What does it mean ?" Well, Mr. Editor, it means that the correspond- ence from Cinema winch appeared in the Thornbury Standard was not, as accurate as it might be. That corres- pondent lies, or stretches the truth very frequently, hence you need not credit any items that appear in the Standard from tiu.> same correspond- ent. There is considerable comment as to who is the author of such corres- pondence, some say it is Harry, others say it is not, but it is our br lief that we can locate the gentleman, if he be worthy of that uauie. We are informed that Mr. J. Y' Hoath is goiug to take up his abode 111 the vicinity oi Muaford, he having leased a farm there. Mr. Hoath b presence will be greatly missed is this neighborhood. Mr. b. denies hat given up his studies at the Colliugwood C. 1. and has entered upon a new course of study, namely, dentistry. We hope he will prove successful in this course. WILL WIMBLE.
