not one would refuse our aid to fortune. But as
health is more valuable than riches how much
more gratiied should they be to learn that a
great panacea had been compounded OF purely
vegetable matter, and that its curative powers

School Examination.

-,
During last week the public examination o,
the pupils attending Miss Edison select schoCH
was numerously attended. 1t was an interest
ing occasion We do not remember ever hav-
ing heard an examination in which pupils gave
better evidences of careful and thorough In
struction In fact, the examination was alike
creditable to teacher and scholars. Among the
noticeable things was the selfpossession and
zest of the little folks, showing plainly that to
them the school room was place of purest en-
joyment. This is as it should be, and We con-
graduate Miss Edison on the possession of the
happy faculty of scattering sunshine along their
pathway. At the conclusion of the examina-
ton an important meeting of the spectators
was called, and Mr. Simon Scott elected to the
chair. Mr. Scott acknowledged the compf-
ment in very neat and happy speech. Col;
William A. Simpson was chosen secretary and
would have made a speech it an opportunity
ha d presented.
On motion of S. r. Peale the following res
.elusion was adopted by unanimous vote.
hesolued, That We are greatly Indebted to
Miss Edison for this pleasant occasion, and We
hereby tender her our thanks for the very
graceful, thorough, and successful manner In
which she has evidently discharged her duties:
and to the children our praises are due for their
promptness and intelligence while undergoing
examin ation.- Clinton Democrat, (Lock Ha-
