known that non-professional pupils only pay fees, and that four or five pupils who have obtained scholarships are exempted from the payment of fees, it will not be difticult for any one to calculated the actual attendance at the dual institution for any term during 1883. TRUTH.

THE SUPERINTENDENTS ANNUAL EXAMINA- TION,

Sin,—The Superintendent of Education, D. Montgomery, Esq., held his annual examination of Powna! School, District No. 24, on the 3rd inst., and presented six prizes to the best in each class, being one to each class. The successful competitors were as follows :

Sixth Class—Miss Eliza B. Harrison. Fifth Class—Miss Ella M. Beers, Fourth Class— Master J. B. Gay. Third Class—Miss Minnie Smith. Second Class—Miss Alice M. Beers. First Class—Master Gilmore Jardine.

The following were considered worthy of Honorable Mention at the examination : Fifth Class, Miss E. Stanley; Third and Fourth Class, Wilheminia Jardine, G. W. Campbell, Amelia Acorn, Gertrude Jenkins, Oscar Jardine, and Catherine Acorn. As there is no steamer to cross after 7 o'clock since the wharf has been injured by the late storm, the Superintendant had to leave earlier than he intended, and there was no time to examine the classes in Agriculture, Chemistry, History, Geography, French and Latin. The Superintendent expressed himself as being well satisfied with the progress made by the school since his last visit, with only one exception. The Chairman of Trustees then addressed the children and teachers, as did also Mr. R. Smith, when the examination was brought to a close and the children dismissed. Yours, etc.,

Examination Papers.

Sirn,—The columns of your much admir- ed journal of May the 2nd are greatly em- bellished with several articles, purporting to be witty and sarcastic, replys to the sug- gestions of ‘*‘Common Sense,” which appeared in your issue of the 25th ult. The fallacious secribbler (who has styled himself ** Observer’) clearly indicates his ignorance of the matter. This 1 will exhibit to the public by quoting some of his irrevelant assertions. He expresses his erroneous sentiments thus : ‘‘ | should like to know what difference it makes whether or not all agree in analyzing a passage as long as its meaning is fully brought out.’’ It may not make any difference to ‘‘ Observer,’ who, instead of acquiring knowledge for a teacher, is probably preparing for the chiel superintendance of a pea-nut stand. But if ‘‘ Observer” possessed the least particle of common sense, he would readily com- prehend that it makes a vast difference to candidates who intend presenting them- selves for examination. Perhaps ‘‘ Ob- server’ is not aware of the many terms which are used in distinguishing the differ- ent clauses and phrases which may appear in a sentence. Now, if these terms are not properly applied by a candidate, will keen ‘* Observer’ explain how the necessary number of marks can be obtained in this branch of study }

Speaking of the history paper, he fully betrays the extent of his knowledge by stating ‘‘that facts without dates are almost worthless.” “Observer” should remember that dates without facts is nonsense. Many pupils can repeat numerous dates by memory, and at the same time are ignor- ant of the events to which they are assign- ed. I may here give an illustration of this: A pupil on being requested by his teacher to tell all he knew about the discovery of America, promptly replied; ‘It was dis- covered in the year 1492, by Peter the Hermit.” ‘‘Observer” waxes very elegant when commenting on geography; but he wanders far from sense and reason, One would feel inclined to think that ‘‘Ob- server’ had travelled, judging from his description of wigwams, huts of the Esqui- maux, etc.; but I am doubtful as to whether he has travelled many miles from his fathers barn. He then ‘“‘sapposes if it would be a fair test to select questions from a- book which is memorized from child- \hood?’ Is this not an absurd supposition? Might he not as well suppose if it would be

not agree with questions at all, but with specimen of questions. The slight mis- takes made during the printing operation are generally unnoticed by gentlemen. If Prince County critic was perfect in the rules of English Grammar his diminutive article would not have been so ambigueus. Neither would he have used the word met in the cornection which he did. Met may be an appropriate word to use when speaking of a brother or a friend; but itis really a strange word to use when speaking of questions in arith. metic. Truly yours, ComMoN SEnsx, May 5, 1884. schiiaieaasiianamiiiia:

The Fishery Bounty.

Sir,—In Tue Examiner of May 2nd, I notice a speech of Mr. McIntyre on the distribution of the fishery bounty, taken from the Commons Hanzard. Mr. Me- Intyre complains that the bounty was only distributed last fall in Souris, while it was distributed in Prince County early in the spring, immediately before a Loca) Election took place for that County, and thinks that it is wrong that the fishery bounty, that was to have been used for the benefit of the fishermen, should have been used make votes. Now, as the Local Election, referred to above, took place in Tignish, I have the best authority for stating that not one dollar of fishery bounty was paid to any man previous to that eiection, as the bounty was not takcn from the post office until the 17th of April, the day of the election, and that was only a very small portion of the bounty paid to the fishermen here, the greater part being paid in June, two months after the election, although a Grit was elected. It is evident that Mr. McIntyre has no love for the Collector at Souris, who, I suppose, is not a Grit. He also complains that there is too much power in the hands of those Local Boards or sub-Collectors. He surely cannot be envious of the salary they receive for distributing it. He also states that he knows only one fisherman not having caught enough fish to entitle him to the bounty, and yet he says that there are not many regular fishermen on the coast, most of them till the soil as well as fish. Now, as every old fisherman knows that it nearly requires the whole fishing season, fishing with the lines, to catch twenty-five cwt. of fish, and as the most essential ground for this bounty is the quantity of fish caught, the method ought to be restricted, and e:ch man should be sworn before the Col- lestor or some responsible person, which is the only way to do justice to those who really are fishermen. Mr. McIntyre speaks of the great dis- satisfaction expressed by his friends; but | suppose they are much like the Grits of T gnish, who were assured by their leader, a man grown gray in politics, that they would not receive the price of a fig of tcbacco, and neglected to send in their claims until it was tov late. Yours, ete.,

FISHERMAN,

The Royal Marriage.

At the marriage of the Princess Victoria of Hesse to Prince Louis of Battenburg, on Thursday morning last, the streets of London were profusely decorated with flags in honor of the event, and were thronged with sightseers. After the performance of the civil marriage, the bride was led to the palace chapel by her grandmother, the mother of Grand Duke Louis. They were followed by a procession of royal guests, Queen Victoria leading, followed by the Prince and Princess Imperial of Germany, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice, Prince William of Prussia, and Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, the brother of the bridegroom. In the bridal procession the bride and the bridegroom walked between the Princesses of Batten- berg. When the bride and bridegroom exchanged rings at the altar a salute of thirty-six guns was fired. Queen Victoria stood during the croral portion of the services, At the conc'usion of the ceremony she embraced the couple. The bride wore the veil of her mother, the late Princess Alice, All the guests except Queen Vic- toria attended the banquet in the evening. The only toast drunk was to the health of the newly wedded pair. vt hlaecsinlaapi

Asked about the coal prospects in Mon- treal, a prominent dealer said: Coal will be cheap during the coming seasgn both as re- gards soft and hard. There is at present a movement on foot amongst large American companies, including the Delaware and Hudson, the Lackawanna and others, to decrease the output and even to shut down these mines entirely fora couple of months, in order to reduce the supply on hand and thereby keep up the price, but the pros- pects are they will failtodo so, 8S. W. Beard, who so thoroughly disorganized the market last seasun, is again to the fore and it is said will continue the importation from Philadelphia upon the same plan as last year. Itis understood he is backed by a wealthy contractor, who is fulfilling an engagement with the Canadian Pacific Railway.
