u ). N, and Miss Bertha A. Osterhout
at OsWego, n. Y, on the It'll inst. The
ceremony was at Christ's church. the
Rev. P. N. Meade officiating. Lieuten-
ant William Du Bose of Georgia was

Lieutenant Du Bose were in full mi
form, the latter wearing the handsome
sword presented to him last year bv
the citizens of Oswego. The bride

Marie Antoinette fichues, their couture
ornamented with pink ostrich feath-

1T WAS A SEVERE TEST. The
last quarterly examination of teachers
resulted in a waterhaul. Of the six
applicants for county certificates and
three for territorial certificates, all
failed. Nearly all were experienced
teachers. The principal stumbling
block, as at the preceding quarterly
examination, was mental arithmetic.
The photography was also hard and
there was nothing easy. The grammar
covered a wide range, that is, terms
were employed which were not gath
cred from any one text book, 50 that
applicants with only the usual famil-
iarity with text books in grammar
found themselves at sea. Old teachers
agree that the examination throughout
was a severe test. Results from other
counties in the territory are awaited
with interest If they should be the
same as that in this county, school
teachers will be at a premium in Ari-
IONA. Most of the applicants in the
late examination already had schools
engaged. A new order promulgated !
by the territorial superintendent pre-
vents the county superintendent from
continuing the practice of issuing tenn
norarv certificates good until the next
quarterly examination. --fi.-
