SCHOOL ExAMINATIoN.-Each day. pro-
gress in the examination of our public
schools tend to establish the excellence of
their organization and their admirable man
q ement.
The examination of the LIST Boys Gram
mar School yesterday, of which Mr. g. S.
Green was Principal and Miss Sarah Jones,
Assistant, exceeded the expectations of the
Trustees, as the school had labored under
great disadvantages during the term just
closed, having had, during the term, some
five to seven different teacher $.
The High School, nder charge of Mr..
Charles H. Butter6eId as Principal, with
Miss R. r. Hough as Assistant, did itself
the highest credit. In every branch
Latin, Algebra, Chemistry, French, and
Vocal Music-t pupils manifested great
proficiency, answering without hesitation
and with remarkable accuracy and intelli-
gence.
To-day the examinations will conclude.
Var Gus classes will be examined during
the forenoon and the afternoon will be &C.
cupied with prize declarations and compo-
sitious Having been permitted to exam
inc, in advance, some of the compositions
by the young ladies, we have no hesitation
in expressing our belief that this last day
will be the great day of this intellectual
feast. The prizes are worthy the occasion,
and of the liberal ideas that govern the
