Mem. SuHooL The niehtschoo that has
been In operation for three months just past,
closed It's session on Friday night last. The nt
tendnuoe Of pupils was tolerably good the as-
siduity 10 their studies was satisfactory aud
the progress of many was very cheering. Much
good must have been accomplished iu the effort
Of this winter, for there were many Of the pupils
who bent their minds with constaDcY and energy
upon the studies before them aud doubtless
knowledge has been attained by some which may
be the foundation Of great future advance aud
lead to individual aud general advastagc. 1t
must be a source Of great tatisfaouon to the
patrons of this institution which has been 50 long
iu regular operation, 10 see that the favors be-
slowed are so ptoftably appropriated, and the
object of their liberality so fully attained. Loug
may the uight-school be continued, aud dispense
light and knowledge as in years past.
