Good.-â€"At tho School Convention last Friday it. was decided to introduce a library, which is to be accessible to all the members of the Amociution. It will consist of a number of first class books on educalimml :.nd othvr suijcls and will be distributed urouml in the mannor of a circulating library. This will give students a chance to peruse books which otlmrwiso would be beyond their reach. The membership fee is only 75cts. which entitles the members (on year’n subscription to the Sc/tool Journal as well a: means to)!” libnu.

Bad Boys.â€"Three of our village boys with Tom Gifford us ringleader, on Fri~ ‘ day last, went east on the town line to ‘ where it is crossed by the Midland railway and meeting a little son of Mr. John D. Perrin, abOut 11 years of a 9, presented a pistol at his head, threaten- ing to shoot him and otherwise torment- ing him. The little fellow was so badly frightened that he had the greatest difficulty in crawling home, and it was some time after he reached there before he was able to tell what was wrong. His father immediately started in pm" suit of the boys, and succeeded in over- taking them before they reached the vilinge, but he very leniently let them go with admonition. This, we are sorry to say, is not the first time young Gifford has figured in a somewhat simi- lar affair. Hml Mr. Perrin had recourse to the law there is no doubt the three of them would huvehad to serve a term in the lh'formntory, and we fear thatI getting oil‘ so may this time will only encourage them to acts of lawlessness. Something should he done to pierent them carrying firearms in the lu‘urc as there is no knowing what might happen when such lads are allowed to carry [IA-J's! Inn. ”4-- W. Victoria School Conve.ilion.-A report of the Convention will be found in another column. A large number of teachers were present and a. liberal sprinkling of the outside public. The lecture in the evening, on the Kinder~ garten system of education, was one well worth the attention bestowed upon it, and the masterly manner in which the subject was handled by the lecturer, Mr. S. L. Hinges, M. A. ofToronto, shows that he has entire control of his subject, which is one that should cause all interested in education con» siderable thought. The system, though not at all likely to come into general use is undoubtedly founded on the true and natural principles of education, and, us the lecturer pointed out, much can be gained from it which might with benefit be introduced into our school system. A Leading commercial paper ex" presses the opinion that the want of advertising is one of the chief causes of business failures. There are business men who don't undemtand the- vulue of advertising. They do not see the di‘ rect connection between advertising and the entering of a customer, or the demand for any particular article. They also, with aselfuimportance which is amusing, fancy their business is known to the whole community, chang- ing as that community is to an extent which they have no conception of. The principle upon which business men should actis, advertise, and advertise the truth. If you have a good thing let the people know it. Furthermore, never let an advertisement get stale, Although a printer, may be setting all day, yet, in his own way, he is a great traveller. or at least his hand is. A good printer will set 8000 ems a (lay or about 25,000 letters. The distance travelled over by the hand will average about one foot per letter, going to H e boxes in which they are contained, and of course returning makes two feet per every letter he sets. This would make a distance each day of48,000 feet, or a little more than nine miles; and, in the course ofa year, leaving our. Sundays, the hand of a. printer travels 3,000 miles. Improvementsâ€"Our village palh.. masters have had a large gang of men on the main street for the last. few days with a. most favourable result. Under their treatment it is beginning to as~ aume something of a shape. A similar treatment every year for a few years would soon put. our main street in good caudilion. The sidewalk is also under- going repairs . Confidentâ€"Our farmers seem to be very confident of a bountiful harvest.

I then remembered the circumstances myself. and that I had told him to go back to Messrs. Ormond Gilmonr’s Drug store in Pcterboro’ and get a bottle of Fowmm’s Ex- TRACT or \VIIJ) STRAWBERRY.

Lasc summer, a St. Louis botanist noticed a great many Canadian thistles spring up in localities about the city. He saw tho thistle down floating about in the air, and felt much concerned at the prospect of the pestilent weed becoming sown broad- cast over the country. One day, while out riding, he came across a consider~ able patch of the thistle, and wishing to procure some of the seed for some pur- pose, commenced searching for them. He found many ripe heads and much floating down but not a. seed could be discovered; He was much surprised at this fact, and on investigating the mat~ ter found that they were devoured by the English Sparrow, which are nulre- rous in that city. The seeds are oily, and were so greedil y sought after by the sparrows that scarcely one escaped them He had at that time specimens of the Canada thistle growing in his garden, and made sure of finding seed there for the purpose he wished, but on seaiching could not find one, and the gardener informed him that they were also eaten by the tame goldfinches that roam in lreedom through the garden. He after- Wards watched to see for himself whe- ther the sparrows ate of the seeds of the thistles that grew by the wayside, and saw them in flocks seeking for them. From this it appears that the English sparrow is destined to do much good in: localities infested by this ob» noxious weed. The Sparrow is rapidly increasing in this vicinity. They made their first appearance here about this time last spring, and now they have become quite numerous. N orwood, February 19th, 7'. Milburn . Co. A new feature we notice this year is the introduction of prizes for dancing the highland Fling and Sword Dance. Home of our Highland friends will now have a chance to display their agility. The Celebration Committee has so far been very successful in their canvas; they advertise two hundred dollars in prizes, the most ever offered in Wood- ville. This certainly should bring a large crowd to the village on the lat. All our tom: boys are now busily on- gagod concocling fiendish devizes for the lat. You find them everywhere pondering thoughts of the most really awful cosmmzs inmginable.
