his family been viog in town, perhaps he would have
been glad of company; had he been on his panta-
ton he would have escaped entirely He could have
kept me in his house but il would have been only so

The public schools of hague the Provincial Col
lege, boys school and girls school The latter only
was in session l visited it the third day of its
sion. 1t was the most pleasant sight | have seen in
NewGranada. The school had been burnt out; il was
now in a clean new house. The girls all seated
the floor in clean dresses and still and orderly could
be desired Sewing aud praying are two important
branches in the female schools here Fortunately, they
we're engaged in the former Lately theology has re-
ceyed severe check ia this Province. The Goberna-
cion has banshed from all the schools the catechsm of
Father Astete the longest dullest and most orthodox
Of all the school catechsms. There not less than
three Others in the schools but these forbidden every
day but Saturday Some in these schools learn 70 pray
but not 10 read.
The girls in this school were all yOung-none, per-
hsps as old as twelve All we're learning to read but
scarcely any two had the same book. They we're
diverse in their topics would be Bakers Saints Rest,
