1/mm: Inunxsz % THINKS! Masalagnusnnnvsvu nu uv nvltlll -Mr. Wright, of coiiingwood Institute, re- cently won a scholarship at the Matriculation ' Examination of Trinity Gollege. Mr. A. S. Clark of Jsrrn.tt s Corners has nssed the 3rd Examination for the degree 0 B. C. L. at Trinity College. Barrie sent five to the matri- culation Examination of Toronto University- Both Queen s and Victoria. have the largest en- trance class they ever had yet. "Several teach- ers from the county wrote on the first class examinations. The Algebra paper caused great satisfaction. In the recent department- al examinations 110 wrote at Collingwood, about 80 in Barrie and 44 in Oriliin. The `slaying papers were the 2nd class Euclid pa. par. and the Intermediate History paper. Oh the former there were only 18 marks of ` book work ; on the latter only three questions out of eight were ` book work. . Terrible has been the mmumm-n nf Hm Inna. 0! 818110 WCTB ' DOOK W0l'Ko' Terrible has been the massacre of the inno- cents in the recent Entrance Examination. In Barrie only 39 passed out of 110, and a. num- ber of the lucky 39 are merely recommended. The Arithmetic paper was ` distinctly above the standard of this Examination. The lan~ fun e in which the questions were put was too mar for entrance candidates. Lately one of `the High School Inspector drew up a serious indictment against the `Entrance Examination. It will now be in order for the public School teachers to bring the lnspectorabefore the bar of public opinion. Teachers who feel strongly about It might write to_ Mr. Ronnie of New- market who is to read a paper on the Entrance Examination before the Ontario Teachers Ae- scociation. He will no doubt be glad to get the opinions of teachers in various sections of the country.

He was both journalist and politician, and as such was the most inuential man in that province. He was born at Maliu, Douegal. Ireland 1822, and educated at Belfast and the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh and at New college, of the latter city, at all of which he distinguished himself. He studied theology, and was for some years a" clergyman in the Presbyterian ' church. From editing a church paper he drifted into ordinary journalism till he became chief editor and proprietor of the Stl _John Tele- graph, the leading paper of the province. He has sat in local legislature since 1875. and entered the lately formed Blair admin- . istration as provincial secretary. He was a liberal in politics and a supporter of the free non-sectarian school system. Opposite u. a. N. w. R. R. Depot. SEALED TENDERS addressed to the under signed. and doraed Tender for Post Omcc.

DALTON McCAnruv's opinion on the subject of squatters rights is one of the greatest importance to the people of the North West, and as such has been publish- ed in-full in the Regina Leader and sub- sequently copied in the other Manitoba and North Western papers. Mr. McCarthy points out clearly what are the powers of the Government under the Dominion Lands Act, and amending acts, and gives his opin- ion that the Government has no power to reserve lands for any purpose or for other than specic purposes authorized by and - under the acts. An order reserving a large indenite tract of land, such as the mile belt of an unconstructcd railway, is void, as the lawyers would say, for uncertainty ; and a reservation for town site purposes would seem to be `strictly limited to what is ultimatel laid out in the survey of the town site. 1-. McCarthy lays down fur- ther that a squatter on land which is sub- se uently reserved as a town site is entitled hr in ant!-I7.

NIAGARA FALLS, July 24.-Capt. Webb attempted the feat of swimming the whirl- ; pool rapids this afternoon. He arrived from Buffalo by the Erie railway and put 1 up at the Clifton House. Even then a ` great many did not think he would attempt the foolliardy` act. He was very reticent, ' saying very little, but upon being askedif he would go through it,- he said At 4 ` o clook.I -will make the attempt. He left i the hotel at .half past three o'clock and went down the ferry hill, ot into a boat \ with the forryrnan, John c0loy, and was rowed out into the river, where he com- menoed to undress. He had nothing but ~ -1). pair of esh-colored drawers. a shirt and trunks of the smallest kind on. When near the Maid of the Mist landing. about , 300,yards above the old Suspension bridge, at two minutes past 4. Hamilton time, he made a dive into the water, and on arising to the surface commenced to swim towards the rapids. Just as he entered the rapids almost immediately under the bridge, he was very nearly being turned over, so strong was the force of the water at this "point. From this point until he was into the midst of the great rapids, which `arise to the neight of thirty or forty feet, op- osite the incline railway of the Whirlpool Rapids Park 00., he was plainly seen by people standing on _the bridge. It was a grand sight to. see him swimming so deter- ininedlv. At times he would be plunged out of sight,and then again he would `be seen on the to of a huge wave, causing one's breath to e held for a short time for fear that the noble swimmer would not again rise to the surface, but he gradually passed through these terriblerapids and continued his way towards the whirl `ol. . He was followed by as many. as con! get_ ' into carriages and even then they could not , get ahead of him. . ` ' l The last that was seen of him was inst get new or nun.

' THE followingis a statement of the final division of the License fund of -the License District of South Simcce for the years 1882-3 : Provincial Treasurer, 894.68; Essa, $54.40; Alliston, $49.09; West Gwillimbury, $33.74 ; Tossorontio, $21.61; Innisl, $23.47; Brad- ford, $6.,02. The following is the first distri- bution of the funds for the years 1883-4 :- Provincial Treasurer, $596.66 ; Alliston, $323. 59; Bradford, $273.69 ; Essa, 8275.39 : Innis- l, $244.79 ; West Gwillimhury. $159.99; Tossorontio, $152.90. Total, $2,020.00. AN Orillia contemporary says that last Friday, several members of the Rama Brass Band, on returning from Midland, obtained liquor in Orillia, and reached the wharf under its inuence. They raised a row at the wharf, and one or two drew knives. One who struck with a knife at L. McDonald, was thrown down and the knife fell into the lake. The soherer ones get on the heat, but others were refused a passage. These kept drunk until` the afternoon train was due. and kicked ` up another disturbance at the Northern stu- tion; but Constable Wize got them quieted and on the train. - THE Alliston Herald says :--Three w our of the blaok sheep succeeded in making themselves con icuous here on the 12th by their disgusting enguage and pugilistic atti- tudes. A disgraceful ght took lace outside the Royal, in which one Arnol , assessor of Essa, snothornarned Jack Brown, and another by the name of Keown, got bruised and bat- tered. -Others took part, but we could not get their names. Fortunately. for these par- ties, the constables were engaged at the agri- cultural grounds, or they would have spent the ni ht in the cooler," where they would have ad a. chance to sober up. If they are members of the Urah 6 Order no doubt they will be brought to tea for their conduct, and punished as they deserve. We hope so, at any rate, for they did more towards bringing the Association into disrepute in half an hour on Thursday than they will be likely to ele- vate it the balance of their lives. * - Edited by J.
