The certificates are good for five years, but no School Board in Old Ontario may engage & successful Modellite till they haye advertised twice in Toronto papers offering a certain salary for a second class teach er. The intention of the advisers of the Whitney government is evidently to make the graduates of the Model Schools a reserye force to be called upon in extremity, or an attempt to force all that are teacherâ€"student inâ€" clined to go through the New Normal Schools.

Rev, Mi McDonald was in the chair and had a lengthy programme to preâ€" sent and the rendering of it reflected great credit on all concerned. _ There were songs, choruses and recitations by the school and others, and the home choir disvinguished itself having wellâ€"prepared and appropriate music. The mouth organ selections by Master Bimpson and by Master Stewart Meâ€" Arthur were loudly applauded, Solos were given by Miss Alexander, Mr Bogle and others ; Mr Duancan and Mr Cameron Mclotosh gave addresses, and Mr Angus McIntosh had a capital humorous _ recitation _ * Ministerial Troubles." The feature of the eyening was the distribution of the prizes to the childâ€" ren from the tree; none were forâ€" gotten. The yenerable Superintendent Mr Geo, Ledingham was, owing to adâ€" vancing years, unable to be present but neither was he forgotten, and no doubt he was present with them in spirit, You have always by example and precept pcinted out to us the right course to pursue, You have during those years invariably manifested to us the utmost kindness, patience and gorbearance wheu we were often wayâ€" If at times we did not mike that progress which youever desired us to make the fault was ours not yours, The Annual Christmas Tree enterâ€" tiinment of Latona â€" Presbyterian Church was held on Tuesday evening and was, we may say as usual, a great successs, The church was crowded aud stable accommodation in sheds, hotel and private places proyed almost inadequate. Miss Alice Ross, Dear Teacher,â€" As the time has come when the relations between ns as teaeher and pupils are about to be severed, we take this opportunity of expressing to you our sincere regret that those relations are so soon to terminate. During the fivye years you have been our teacher you have labored faithfully, and provâ€" ed yourself to he‘u most pains taking instructor, Interest has been added to the situaâ€" tiou in Durham by the appearance of Mr Wm. Black as a candidate for the Mayoralty, _ Mr Black while lacking the experience of his opponent has good executive ability and his civic activity in connection with the estabâ€" lishment of the Horse Fair and other enterprises, has made him bulk large in the public eye. _ At least one memâ€" Ler of the present council has expressâ€" ed a desire to quit, and there seems to be no rush for these positious, wâ€"â€"~â€"â€"4 § 4+z Bentinck is quiet, but there will be no acclamation. _ Mark Willis it is said will contest the reeveship with the present popular reeye and the old council will likely have opposition. In Normanby we hear mentioned as likely to run Richard Baber, David Leith and Donald Mclvride but there should be some agreement or ali three may be defeated living so near to each other. Reeve Hastie of Egremont we haye heard will have no opposition, and it is unlikely Dep. Reeve Ferguson wi‘l either, but it is rumored he is dropping out, which, if true will make an allâ€" round race for the council. Mr Thos. McFadden in accordance with his statement last year is diopâ€" ping out of the reeveship of Glenelg, unless it should appear to be the wish of the electors to have an election by acclamation, This however is unlikeâ€" ly and the electors will probably be called upon to choose between two such good men as Archie McCuaig and Edwin W. Hunt for the Reeveship. Nichol, Weir and McMillan, the old councillors will likely be in the field egain with good chances of getting back. M:i John McNally is aiming to fill Hunt‘s place, and it is possible Mr Arrowsmith, an old servant of the township may be in the field for the: reeveship. § Monday next at noon, in the surâ€" rounding townships,â€"Nominations for Reeves, Deputies and Councilliors will taxke place at the usual points, In Durham the hour is 7,.30 p. m. ot the same day.
