His new Adv. will appear in a iahort tune All barley weighing under 46 lbs per Imperial bushel, will be classed as “un- graded.” Our farming friends will see that barley must be well cleaned to pass 1n- spection, and that by extra cleaning much of their crop will pass to a high- er grade by adding 1 lb to the weight per bushel.

To be solmd anld well clean- ed, and to weigh not, less than 46 lbs. per Imperial bushel. The following sténdard has been adopted for the inspecuon of this year's 0109 of barlev. The above table is worthy of the clos- est attention on the part of our readers as showing the standinu of our County High School. In Class ((1) Newmmket stands fi1sl; in Class (b) Richmond Hill; in Ulziss (c) Newmalket and Rich mond Hill; in Class (d) Newma1ket; in C‘ass (e) Richmond lli ll. In this most imponant 01 we (e), (Government Discipline and General Morale) Rich- mond Hill stands equal to the best Colâ€" legiate Institute in the Province. The elven Collegmte Institutes recei1e on thelesult of inspecrion $1196, making an average of 108. 73 for each Collegiate Institute? The ninety three H1011 Schools receive $41648 making an aver- age of $144 82 for each High School There are seventy High Schools which receive less than Richmond Hill No. 1. Tobe bright and well clean- ed, and to weigh not less than 49 lbs per Imjjerial bgslqu. The resulls of Inspection when good are more profitable to the High School Board than the Intermediate Examina- tion, and of far more benefit to the pu- pils of the High School itself. Even 1n the Intermediate Examination our High School has done exoeedm gly well in compa1ison with other Hwh Schools, having passed two candidates more thaii Newmarket.

The apportionment to High Schools and Collegiate Institutions on the re- sults ofinspeotion for the half year end- ing 30th June, 1879, having been made public, we glean the following facts from the official report:â€" It is not only interesting to the trusâ€" tees and parents or fliends of the pupils attending our schools to compare their progress With that of other institutions but it is also instructive, and gratifving in a great degree, when by such comâ€" parison it can be seen that the Richâ€" mond Hill High School stands very high amongst its fellows, and on certain points holds an equal position with the best Collegiate Institutes in the Proâ€" vince, and in other respects far supcnor to many High Schools, in villages and towns of'much greater pretentious. The great advantage of having good schools, and of course efiicient teachers, has been so often held up before our readers that there is no reason to repeat any arguments in favor of such.

A STRANGE INCIDENT.â€"Any of our sporting friends who ever attempted to shoot; one of those very shy birds bearing the euphonious name of ”‘Hell Liver," know that it is very diffi- cult if not almost impo~sible to get the start of them. Last Saturday, however. an old veteran who had been shot at do- zens of times during his residence in the vicinity of' VVilson’s pond, capitulated without a struggle. Mark ‘Vilson and a young,r lad named Blanshard chased the bird ashort distance and then walked quietly up to it, and tucked it under their wing, or arm. The bird took the l affair as a matter of course, and on being1 taken home became quite reconciled to domesticlil'e, making no attempt to go on tramp again. Sunday morning he got in among a. number of' domestic birds, and whipped them all round, even ' an Old Game Shanghai.
