B. same district, which she bad for more than q
year presided TO the entire satisfaction OF te Iras-
tees Her schools have always been remarkable for
order and proficiency, and no precepior possesses
more absolutely the love Of her pupils

patriotism and has kept up, steadily, practical en-
thusiasm among her soldiers In behalf of the w ash

wrote;

contribution"
