District Ne, III Is the first south OF the vll-
age, on Sheburn street. This school has made
'ery rapid progress, especially during the vim
er term. Mr. Castle, their excellent teacher
has been indefatigable in his abors to improve
the school and it affords us pleasure to say,
that this school is in very good condition.
There has been manifested good degree OF in
terest in the studies pursued, and we have rarely
seer better order in any school.
This district have been for several years talk
ing about erecting new house, and there is
reason to hope, we may soon see upon the beau
tiful site now occupied by their small, lily con-
structed and dhapidated house, one fitted up for
two schools, and every way adapted to their
wants. The children Of this district, and their
teacher certainly deserve better house.
