Your committee cannot let this 0 ortuni- ty pass without expressing the eep and sincere sorrow of the entire bod of pupils at the intended removal `of Mr. . B. Spot- ton our Princisl from amongst us. . V _ `With the experience gained here as head "master" for 23 years he has shown himself fully able to cope with and understand the little tnlancies and restivenesses of a school- y s or school-girl s' disposition. With what pride we think that it was under this same master that our elder brothers and sisters were educated, and` with what deep regret we learn that our` younger brothers andvsistersgyare not to have the benet of his training. In after years with what pride we shall remember that it was under him that we were educated, that it was he who with rm hand guided our wandering intel- lects in the right path of study and research. His place in our aections we feel can never be obliterated and althou h far away from us, we shall still consider im as much our friend as when we were in daily intercourse. We wish Mr. Spotton all that success which he deserves and feel sure that amid his multifarious duties, he will spare many a thought to the old B. C. I. and the pupils in it, and he may be assured that he will be followed through life with the good Wishes and the good will of all who were his pupils. Wishing Mr and Mrs..

There were 62 candidates 33 of whom were attendants of the Barrie Model School and the balance were from Bradford. The examination lasted ve days, two of which were devoted to writing and three to exhibi- tions of their skill in the school room. The examination took place earlier this year than usual which will afford an opportunity for `the issue of certihcates before commencing `work. The students who attended the Model School here are composed of good material I and have left a most favorable impression on those with whom they mingled. They greatly enjoyed their model school course, and proved the possession of much" musicai ability and literary taste THE ADVANCE predicts for them a useful and honorable future, though the reward in money may not | make them rich. _ _ _f__ ` _ V75 Overcoat: to sold In two weeks, for cash. cheap E0. lll!EDY9S.

Miss Paterson is the possessor of one of the sweetest soprano voices in the city. Her rendition of the above number showed what careful, pains- taking and ersistent cultivation will do. Mr. Robert Shaw sang, In nature worth " from the Creation, which showed to advan- tage his sweet tenor voice. Both these artists will sing in the presentment of the Creation at Barrie to-morrow evenin in the leading solo parts. It is to be hope our citizens will turn out in goodly num- bers, to show Major,Ward their apprecia- tion of his pluck and energy in providing for us such a musical treat as The Creation" and encourage him in the good work he has undertaken, the formation of the Barrie Choral Society. Such a society cannot but be of great benet to the people of Barrie. We are pleased to see the reserved seats are being rapidly lled. J`!

Judge Ardagh s charge to the Grand Jury : ' p ' In his charge to the Grand Jury last ` 1 J week, Judge Ardagh remarked that their gathering on that occasion seems to give ~ oint to the allegation that any necessity or the Grand Jury had ceased to exist, as there was nothin for him to direct their attention to, while the annual expense of the Grand Jury amounted to about 31200.

Since the last session, the government had published the replies of the judges to the expediency of abolishing the Grand Jury, and a majority of them seemed to be in favor of doing away with it.

Industrial School at at Mimico, addressed to Friends of friend- less boys in the Province of Ontario. To `i save 119 boys now waiting admission to the Industrial School, and which went on to say, In another -year many otv these-will have passed the age at which we can help 3 them, and will have got their bad habits j xed on them.
