SCHOOL IN^PF( HON. Ar the annuil examination or tin 1 sohm>] children attending this school, 80 pei cent priced. The inspector evpiesbcd lumsdt .!•< being highly pleaded, and compliment) d Colonel Smith upon the sucee^ of the examination. Taking into coiwdci.itiou the number pi evented for examination (eighty), the per centage of passe- i- tlio highest that has been attained yet in llu-. distnct.

(,o\ EiiNMhxr jjbki! \un. The Go\einmont responded hbeially fr> the re<juest to set apart some sections here us town endowments; they gazetted tlnee or four of the most out-of-the way .vllot ments thoy h.ne, allotments tha,t will be of very little value f'.r a long tune to conic, if they will c\er become valuable. Thenis ii paddock mthc centie of the township, pa,it of w hich might easily be granted as a town endowment. At present it is lyiiu, idle, and is a uuiseiy for furze, bu.ir-, and dog dai^-ins. Ido not know who. has ("introl of it, or whether it belongs to the ]>*P utment of Justice, but something sh mlil be dono in the matter. If wo h.'d ■v R. M. u'hidmg among v«, he might j>eihaii-. take sufficient inteiest i 1 the place to h.ise the paddock lound the c<M\rt house kept in decent order, but us we arc so unfoitunatc as not to posses that distinction, I suppose wo iiiitbt put up with tlio unsightly i>addock in the middle of the town.

TIIK KIH/.K NblsWtT-.. The town board might follow the example of the Kilnkihi Hoard, and enforce tho act relating to the fur<cu nuisance. A gie.it many of tho allotniLiits were bought for speculation purpose"*, and siro now com pletely co\cird with fiu/e, which, of course, is spreading all e\cr the place fast Theio is M.jry little use in Home people tiying to keep their piopcities clean when their neighbouts allow theiis to become co\eied, <uid so.spicad the seed eveiy yeai on to adjoining piopi i lies; the law should step in .1* d compel them to abate the nuisance. —(Own f'o.n sp(»n<|ent )
