FOR THE EcTA ToR.

The examination OF Mr.. Stover's school, at
Churchvile, was held on the Goth of June. at which
I, with several gentlemen and ladies' was present,
and am happy to have it in my power to say that
his scholars, generally, acquitted themselves well.
Ills Classical and Mathematical students appeared
with good credit both to themselves and their teach
or. Their attachments in the knowledge Of the
subjects of their study afforded good evidence both
Of their industry and Of the skill with which they
had been taught The character and qualifications
Of Mr. Slower as teacher Of youth entities him, as
think, to the esteem and confidence of his patrons
and to share of public patronage. The location
Of his school being somewhat retired, is favourable
to the good order and morals OF such youth as may
attend il. ANXIOUS.
