SUNDAY SCHOOL FLOWSR SHOW.

The scholars of the Baptist Sunday School had their
annual Flower Show on Thursday. We feared the
rough and wet weather of tho proceeding days, would
militate considerably against the gathering of wild
iwers, and considering ati. they were well represented.
We were glad to observe progress had been made in
flower cultivation, and alio an addition to the
prodasoune in the shape of prises for plain and fancy
needlework had been made. We think these deserve
more exhibitions amongst the girls, and next year we
shall expect to goo as good, it not a larger competition
hors than in the flower which certainly did the
scholars credit, awl proved they had made admen
on lad year. We annex the lid of prise-taken in the
