Thu...nail's schools. We believe that M. Garston
has been tety euccesaful also in relation to the ,
oxford and Army and Katy gxaminationa. M.
Garston was the Day French teacher in the county
who sent up candidates. The names of the two
scholars were ,laster Dead, fmni Mr. Harm's school,
North•square, Dorchester, and Master W.

passed throogh their examinations successfully.
It appears that in a recent examination the
average failure in the candidates was 60 per cent.

' the skill of M. Oarston as a teacher of French. and
the application of his pupils, as no one of the 20 ,
taught by him has failed.—Frern the Bev. J.
