The Voters’ Lists are being prepared by the Government and the announce- ment for an election may be sprung on at any time. It seems, under the circumstances, that the Opposition, as well as supporters of the Govern- ment should be getting their house in order, as the writs will be issued and the work of election done in very short order. The present administra- tion at Ottawa is not likely to give much time for eXposure of their ac- tions, and a snap verdict would en- trench them in office for another five years, or less, as they felt dis- posed. flonservatives should get ready, as no secrets will be confided to them as to when the fight will be The storm of wind and rain and hail that swept across the township from the north on Tuesday evening of last week did more damage to the oat crop than would pay the municipal taxation twice over.

The tables were loaded with good things, the booth did a rushing trade and the pro- gram was most varied and entertain- ing. Mr. S. Putherbough, Aberdeen, never made a more witty speech; Mr. John Ellison, of “'audby, was bright in his remarks; Councillor Hunt made several good hits; Miss May Robson’s recitation was counted the best she has ever given; Miss Vera Dunn's re- cital proved a bright number; Miss Florence Hunt and her brother Percy sang twice and they were most raptur- ously applauded; Master Nelson Eadie, of Toronto, sang a comic solo and Misses Violet and Vera Dunn sang most sweetly. Instrumental duets by Miss Olive Cook and Mr. W. G.

In 1641. Farquharson of Invercauld (who bore a prominent part in the Scottish civil wars of the period) was ordered by parliament to levy a body of armed men to secure Angus and the Mearns, etc. (Bait Annals). and four years after he was serving at the head of his clan in the battles of Montrose. His kinsman. James of Inverey, in 1649, for having failed to attend a summons of the Committee of Estates in 1647, was fined £4000 (Scttos)’.’-, and in his 73rd year was thrown into the Tolbooth of Edin- burgh, where he was kept ”till. afraid to perish in so horrible a den, he at length sicce-Jded in attracting some charitable attention from the Estates. The Farquharsons are regarded as one of the leading branches or septa of Clan Chattan. They branched of! from Alexander Ciar. the third Shaw of Rothiemurchus, who had married one of the Stuarts-‘0! Kincardine, their projenitor be'nfi 'Farquhar, the fourth son. Taking up their resi- dence in Aberdeenshire. the descend- ents of this Farquhar (Gaelic Fe ~char) were called Farquharsons or Clan Fhearchair, now McKeracher. or Mac- Kereher. In their early history. the name of Farquhar’s desaendent, Fin- lay Mor, standard-bearer at Pinkie, where he tel]. 1547, stands prominent, and from and after him the Farqu- harson’a were termed Clann Fionn- laidh, or desaendents of Finlay. The Farquharsons acknowledge Mackin- tosh as their chief in a Bond of 1594 (see “Minor Septs of Clan Chattan") In the rising of 1715 John Farqu- harson, of Invercauld, with four officers and 140 men, joined the Clan Chattan regiment, in which he was Lieutenant-Colonel, and accompanying it to England, was taken prisoner at Preston. Reierring to the affair at Preston, Lady Macintoah writes:â€" "Macintosh and Invercauld, having the most dangerous post. behaved most mantully, with a great charac- ter from strangers as acting their part with victory and courage. They were both released the same day (9th August, 1716), having been in prison for ten months.” In the year 1741, Anne Farquharson, daugh- ter of Invercauld. married En-eas 22nd Macintosh, and during the rising of 1745 she took such a leading part for the Stewarts as to. be called Colonel Ann. At Culloden the Farquharsons mustered over 300 men, and were in the centre of the front line. In 1748 the Laird of Invercauld gave the Government a 99 years’ lease of the Catsle of Braemar as a military sta- tion; but it has long ceased to be occupied by tr00ps. A few days ago we were Speaking to Mr. Farquharson about the pecul- iar spelling of his name. when he un- dertook to give us something of its origin and etymology. We felt inter- ested and asked him to give a short sketch for publication. He saved himself the trouble by turning up a copy of the Glasgow Weekly Herald of May 12th, 1906, from which we clip the following: James Farquharson died in 1750, and was succeeded by his son, also named James, who appears to have been in 1745 a Captain of foot in the Hano- verian arny. He died in 1856 after being in possession of the estates for 56 years. He left no male issue and was succeeded under the destination of the entail by his only surviving child, Cathrine, who married Captainl Iames Ross, R. M. (second son of Sir! John Lochart Ross, Bart. of Balna-l gowan), who took'the name of Farqu‘ harson, and died in 1810. He was suc- ceeded by his son, James Farquhar- son, tho died in 1862, and was suc- ceeded by his son, James Ross Far- quharson, the present Laird of In- ivercauld. "No place that I have seen in Seetland,” says Dr. Studdart, “is more characteristically adapted to the residence of a Highland chief than Invercauld. It stands on a ris- ing ground not far removed from the bank or the Dec, which glides silently and majestically through the valley: all around are vast birch woods and firs. of which Mr. Farquharson has planted incrdedible numbers.

EAST been good had the others remained out for at least another year. After the test examination Mr. Allan sent the marks obtained to parents and guardians in each case, and. advised candidates not to enter where he. saw no chance of success. The following is the list of successful candidates from Durham school :â€" ’ Gertrude Backus. Wm. A. Campbell. Sadie M. Ferguson. John L. McDonald. Stanley McNally. Mary Morton. Louise Watson. Maggie Weir. Emily Wilson. Of the 11 who passed the test exam- ination, 9 passed the final. The exmnination differs in name from former years. To put it plain, the examination is for Non-profession- al Second Class Teacher’s Certificate. For this year the retained Model schools. of which Durham is one, will prepare teachers for school sections in the Districts and the Counties, whose. financial and other conditions may prevent them from being able to secure teachers with First or Second Class Certificates, or with Third Class Certificates granted under the Regu- lations of 1907 and preceding years. The examination results appeared in the Saturday daily papers. In Dur- ham eleven were recommended as the result of the test examination. Of these nine were successful. Others, without being recommended, wrote on their own responsibility and failed to accomplish the desired result. Nine out of eleven recommended is a good showing of the judgment of Mr. Allan as to the fitness of a candidate and the percentage from the school would have The. certificates issued by the re- tained Model Schools :will corres- pond to the present professional Dis- trict certificates and will :be valid only in such schools as the Minister may approve fiom time to time. upon recommendation of the Public or Separate School Inapector.
