Twenty engines and Twenty- Fonr Flat Cars Resting Safely on tlve Cantilever. NuoABA Fi^£.s, Ont., Dec. 20. â€" The Cantilever bridge \»a8 tested to-day by running twenty engines and twenty-four flat cars leaded with bal- last, and proved successful. About 11.80 the two sctions moved out on the structure from the Canadian side, one section on each track. The Com- mittee of Engineers inspected eacti section of the structure when the train was standing on it, before allowing them to go further, and so on until the immense weight rested entirely on th« structure from shore to shore, when the large number of people who lined both sides of the river and the old suspension bridge giye loud cheers, and the twenty eingines standing on the bridge opened a costinuous whistle for fifteen minutes. The whole mado a grand spectacle to witness over the mighty Niagara Falls. The engines in the Grand Trunk yards responded by their whistles, and the greatest excitement prerailed for some thirty minutes among fifteen thousand spectators. Every train approaching since yesterday morning carried guests to the opening, and some five hundared prominent railroad aud scientific men of both the United States and Canada witnessed the test, and will partake of a grand banquet at the MouutEagle hotel this afternoon. Presentation in Osprey. On Wednesday evening last, the young people of S. S, No. 5, Osprey, met at the residence of Mr. E. Hanley and presented the teacher of the said school. Miss M. A. Fleming, with two vases with flowers, a Bible, and an album containing a photograph of some of her pupils. These were accompanied by the following ad- dress: â€" To Miss Maggie Fleming Teacher of S. S. No. 5 Township of Osprey. Dear Teacher. â€" "We, your loving pupils, are assembled at this time with feelings mingled with pleasure and regret, pleasure to know that friends, the dearest of all, will socn greet you with smiles and caresses m your own home, but regret to think that you are so pooq to be seperated from us. During your three years stay with us, we have profited much by your instruction. Your imiform kindness and courtsey,and your earn- est endavors for our welfare, have won the affection of us all. Before parting, we ask you to ac- cept this slight token of our esteem, which will perhaps help you to re- member your first public school pupils, Hoping that your future may be one of increased prosperity and happiness, and that, after you have completed your studies, we may agam greet you as our highly asteemed teacher, and wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New year,we reluctantly say, farewell. Signed in behalf of your affectionate pupils Cecilia Osborn, Minnie Summers, Sarah Inkster. Miss Fleming replied very suitably as follows â€" My dear pupils and friends, being taken by surprise, 1 can scarcely express my gratitude for such lovely presents, and the kind address which you have just read. Those presents will call to remem- brance my dear pupils in Osprey, and the pleasant three years I have spent in your midst. I have always endeav- ored to do my duty and hope you have profited by my instruction. I shall now bid you all a fond farewell, wishing each of you a merry Christ- mas and a happy New Year, and many of them, also future success in your studies. If we meet not here again, may we meet where parting is unknown. Yonr grateful teacher M. A. Flemmg. Th6 people of the section join with the pupils in expressing their deep regret at the departure of Miss Flem- ing, who by her kind and genial manner, has won the high esteem of all with whom she has had intercoorie' and wishing het all sacoess and pros- perity in fatara, now ' bid her a toad adieu. fntertainment aud Presenta- tion. From a corretpondent. The entertainment given by Miss Might on the evening of the four- teenth of December was a complete success. It was held in the school house of section No. 5, where she has been teaching for the lasi three years. Mr. Jack was appointed chairman and commenced the proceedings of the evening with a short but very suitable address in the course of which he highly commended Miss Might for the earnestness of purpose, and yield with which she has striyen to culture the minds of the youth committed to her care during her so- journ amongst us and her personal deportment which has been blameless. Miss Might then gathered her pupils around her and together they sang out a hearty and cheerful welcome to their guests, she accompaning their voices on Mrs. Thos. Cook's organ which that lady kindly lent to aid the amusement of the evening. Recita^ tiona were afterwards given by Misses Agnes Jack, Maggie Lauder, Ewen McNab, William Banks and others of Lliss Mights pupils with a correctness of elocution aud emphasis, that sur- prised and pleased all who were pre- sent. Mrs. Cook and Miss Crooks favored us with two pieces of select music. Miss Crooks sang while Mrs. Cook performed the part of accom- paniest, each part being exceedingly well carried out. Readings of a profi- table and humerouB nature were taken part in by Mrs. Cook, Misses. Agnes Robson, Hattie Cole, Ellen Edge and others of the company. The perfor- mance of a play m which the Misses. Cole, Alfred Crooks, William and Emma Edwards figured, and the singing of a comic song by Mr, IStAnly contributed not a little to the enjoy- ment of the company. The faithful services rendered us by Miss Might within the last three years were great- fuUy acknowledged. Aud the high position that she justly maintains in the esteen and good will of the com- munity attested to by the presenta- tion of beautiful china tea set and volume of poems. Alfred Crooks read tlio presentation address which we will here insert for the benefit of Miss Mights friends aud associates. To Miss Might. Dear Teacher. â€" We are very sorry to hear that you intend leaving us, but we ho'pe you will find as hearty a welcome in your new field of duties as we would give, were you going to continue our teacher for the next year, but since you have decided to leave us, we could not let you go without some little remembrance of Glenelg. We therefore take great pleasure in asking your acceptance of this tea set and this volume, hoping you may find a use for it, as a sliQ;ht token of our esteem, with that of our parents, hoping we may have the pleasure at no very distant date, of drinking tea with you in your town home. At present we will be satisfied with wish- ing you the compliments of the season and a long life cf happiness. May your joy be fa deep as the Ocean, Your sorrow as hght as its foam. Signed in behalf of your pupils,Hattie Cole, Emma Edwards, Alfred Crooks. Miss Might replied to the foregoing address in a very feeling manner, warmly thanking both parents and children for all their kindness, and alluding to the jocularly expressed wish of her pupils to pay their re- spects to her in her town home said that she was uncertain as to the time when they might meet to congratulate her on such an occasion, but extend- ed a hearty invitation to all wished to drink tea with her in her mothers house. She was vigorously cheered from the platform. The proceeds of the meeting amounted to about $9 and will we beheve be devoted by Miss Might to the pai^ase of a (rlobe for the school as a a parting token of her friendship. At nine o'clock the party broke up and returned to their ' homes, wishing Miss Might a merry Christmas, many days of healtli and joy, and a swift and eioriotis career (o the highest pinnacle of literary fame.
