sonooL ExAMNATIoNs.--The exercises went
of last week with more thon ordinary eclat.--
Though not present, it is not difficult to learn
the estimate placed upon them by those who
had the pleasure Of being eye witnesses. The
schools have bad time 10 get into more perfect
system in the enjoyment of better facilities in the
new accommodations, for development and pro-
gress, aud the standard Of merit Is thought TO
be considerably above any previous exhibition.
This VIC understand to be particularly so ofsome
of the departments, and generally of oil. ln
the High School, the attendance has been full,
aud corresponding increase Of energy and
spirit has been a natural consequence and the
qualification and encouragement observable a.
mong parents as well as pupils and teachers, at
the evident position, and increased usefulness
Of that department, adds to the favor and
strength with which the union system is gain
ing in the public mind We hear on every hand
but one sentiment, and that Of commendation
towards all the several departments. Though
1t may be invidious to allude particularly to any
OF the schools, yet we cannot avoid noticing the
unqualified commendation which has been 80
generally bestowed upon the superior discipline
and attainment of that under Miss SToNE, re-
Gently from New Hampshire. The exercises
of the little folks in this department, evinced
such perfect tact and control over the young
minds, as to elicit the surprise and admiration
of the numbers who we're present, and afforded
evidence Of unusual qualifications in the teacher
The exercises of the High School we're di-
versifed with little episode 10 the way of q
surprise presentation of silver goblet by one
Of the young ladies in behalf Of the school, to
the worthy Superintendent. The surprise was
so perfect, that the gentleman. for time in the
conflict of emotion, found himself eloquently
dumb, and it was only after an herculean effort
that he found words to express the gratitude Of
a momentariy surchorged, but disconsolate
heart The exercises in this school, we under
stand, were very appropriately closed, in an OF
hand speech from the very efficient chairman of
the Board Of Education. H. L. MORRISON, ESQ.

The superintendent alludes with expressions
OF mortlhcation, to the large number of a5-
Sences, and the undue amount of tardiness Up.
on this subject, the report forcbly says:
Every term we are compelled to witness the
disastrous effects OF absences of scholars. Ey-
cry term, more or less are completely broken
down in ambition and interest, ruined, complete
y ruined, as scholars by just this means.-
Parents sometimes wonder why their children
do not make progress, when the reason lies in
this. Absence from business is fatal to it. A
scholar once discouraged, is with difficulty again
aroused aud interested in school duties. Teach
ers may stretch themselves on these inanimates.
and breathe on them to restore again vitality,
as did the prophet of old on the widows life
less child, but with far less success than did the
prophet, l would that the Importance of this
subject might be appreciated in this communi-
ty; Tor never, | am persuaded can our schools
take that high position which we hope for them
so long as convenience only is consulted in the
matter of attendance"
As one means of preventing tardiuess the
report aludes to the Importance of a common
signal and suggests the proprety and import
ance OF providing the schools with a suitable
bell VI the force of this suggestion no one
will fail of n conviction, and il would seem os
II some steps should be taken to procure one.
Taxation Tor any other school purposes would
not we presume, be tolerated, but the thing
might be easily cOmpassed by a voluntary sub.
scription among the friends of the school. Will
not some one think of it?

Fdir Grounds, on Saturday. Nay oh, 1861.
The Association at its last annual meeting,
resolved to commence holding Trade Fairs, or
regular sale days.
This is in accordance with an article of its
Constitution, and with the spirit of improve
ment, which should actuate US continualiy.--
Such fairs will be held at suitable times, as
often as may seem expedient, once in two
months, or perhaps monthly during the milder
portion of the year.
OBJECTS OF THE FAIR.
All kinds Of stock produce, implements,
seeds, &c. &c, may be appropriately offered for
sale or exchange, and the exhibition of stock
animals, at the proper seasons, will be suitable
and desirable
Comparative trials OF Implements, and pe~-
haps OF animals for service, will be in place, and
probably will not be neglected. By ocular CON-
Parsons Of such objects as are of most interest
al particular seasons more sure aud satisfactory
knowledge will be gained, than in any other way.
All the advantages need not be stated here
they will be seen by most, at once, and the plan
will secure the appreciation of all who are in
t'rested and are not governed by prejudice OF
a cowardly lack of confidence.
The benefits resulting from such on institution
will be permanent, and will tend to constant en-.
largement. Though the commercial idea is The
leading one the social tendencies will be of the
nature of wholesome excitement, which is GER
tainly necessity if we believe what our doc
tors say of the agricultural classes.
RULES.
The plan for conducting this initial Trade
Fair, is embraced in the following rules, which
will be amended whenever experience shall SC
Indicate.
lst. All animals and other articles offered fo,
sale or for exhibition, will be admitted to the

classes, and will be open at all times for exami
nation by those interested, either as purchaser,

GS BLOOD STocK.-The graces of cultiva
ton and refinement hare never, and probably
iOM never, reach point from which the beauty
the pride and the high social qualities of the
horse will be viewed with Indifference. Amid all
the works of the animal creation, there is per.
haps, no individual triumph of the creative
power, which comes home to the heart of man
with such affection, favor and admiration, as
the horse. This is not to be wondered at per-
maps when we consider how intimately the
mere fancy is mixed up with utility, and the i'm
portant part the hOrse'is made to play in all the
relations OF life. This prominence so justly due
TO this noble animal has led to the study-tbe
science we may say-of carrying his breeding
and cultivation to the highest state of perGee-
tion, Every successful effort in this line wbetb.
er by judci0as crossings. by training. or by the
introduction Of choice blOods, is hailed with
pleasure, and gratefully acknowledged. The
Western Resepe, noble specimen of eouine
grace aud nerve introduced by Mr.. Geo. e
NETTLEroN within the past year, and noticed in
our columns to-day, may be viewed as an impor-
tant contribution to the stock of this region,
and an element 10 the progress and improve
ment of the day. His size his form, his mus
Gle, his gait, his disposition and spirit will
commend him to the favor and admiration of
an who have 40 appreeiating eye for success
tul combination Of equine excelIencies. Mr N.

those efforts. we think viii not 60 unrequited
