The whole affair passed off in the best Of or
der, and to the unbounded satisfaction of all
present 1t is but due to Mr.. HARTsoCK to
say, that during the time he has resided among
us he has discharged his duties as teacher in
the most satisfactory MANNER, and has succee-
ded in placing the school in a higher position,
than its friends anticipated. He deserves
great credit for his efforts. Up.
