Kent's Hill Boys School.

The third year Of this meritorious school
closed with appropriate exercises week before
last. We hav" copied some account of the
same from the temperance Journal, on the
outside Of this issue. From number Of
accounts which we have noticed, this last
Exhibition must have been splendid affair,
and creditable to all concerned. We have
no hesitation in recommending this school US a
desirable place for parents to serd their chill
dren to be educated. The board Of Instructors
aim to teach their pupils to love their stud
les, and the school-room; at the same time
the most ample means are furnished to ford
sufficient physical training and exercise. The
Principal labors to give to the school a home
aspect and home influence. The restrain
ing and graceful influences Of . well ordered
family, constantly attend the student silently
and yet efectually moulding his plastic
mind, and training him for usefulness, and
happiness.

Agricultural Fair.

The weather during the fair as all tina
the thousands who were in attendance coul,
ask for. The first days were delightful, tn,
third day, 1t was somewhat windy, but upon
the whole the weather was fine,
The stock upon the ground the first day
included large number of working oxen
very fine. with good show of calves, cows,
colts, mares and stock horses. We cannot
go into particulars this week. Details in
next issue, with reports of committees.
The Second days proceedings including the
trottins on the course, which was very excit-
ing and interesting. The time was better
than any made last year.
The thirds days proceedings did not come
up to public expectation, nor was it what
they had light to expect. No Engines
appeared from abroad to contest for the
prizes, and our own could not agree after
getting on to the ground. We do not know
where the blame lies; and will only say, as
general remark, that Engine quarrels and
Virginia duels are somewhat alike.
The Exhibition at the Hall will be noticed
in full next week.
