LOCAL AND OTHER ITEMS,

day and Friday Of last week were alike
creditable to the Scholars and Teacher The
answers Of the scholars to miscellaneous
questions, and the readiness and facility with
which they gave connected accounts of lead
ing facts in our national history, and the
promptness with which they reeited such
lessons as were before them, evidenced
thorough training and a sufficient knowledge
of their studies so as to beget confidence and
self possession. The order and system in
this school was in the highest degree salts
factory. There appeared to be the happiest
relations existing between the Teacher and
her pupils, as there also was observable a
guiding and directing mind in all the exer-
cises and movements Of the scholars. There
was head to this school, as there is and
must be to any one to be profitable.
The declarations were very creditabe in
deed, more than an average of such schools
Indeed all the exercises, AS observed, were
highly creditabe, and reflect high praise on
the Teacher, Miss Henry.
