has been connected with our Union School as
teacher during the last thee years, has gone to
Rockford, illinois to engage in the Publc School
of that place. Mrs. Wright has succeeded re-
markably well in giving satifaction to those
who have had children under her charge We
understand her former pupils presented her a
valuable token of their regard just before she
left.
Mrs. Wrightis lady of rare attainments and
acknowledged worth, AMI it is much TO be re-
Rretted that the Directors could not consistently
offer a..sulicient inlucement 10 retain her ser
vices.
As a msmbar of our society, her inlusnce has
been very happy in its character, and her absence
will BE- deeply felt among large circle otfriends.
The citizens of Rockford will have every rea-
son to congratulate themselves upon securing
her as one of their corps Of teachers.
Miss Helen Norton, a lady of considerable
experience in teaching, has been employed to
