| Night iSchooi-The night school closed its
session on Thursday light OF last week, aud
we are glad TO state that the scholars in ad-
| dition to their good behavior, made most
| excellent advancement in their studies. The
attendance was quite as large as usual, and the
| grade OF scholars both in respect OF age and
| Intelligence was something above that OF for
| mer sessions. All the scholars who attended
| regularly could not fail to be benefited, and
| doubtless they will feel the advantage OF their
attendance as long AS they live. II must be
II great satisfaction to the asiers the man
ayers and patrons Of this excellent INSTITUTION
| TO know that their benevolent effor meet wi h
20 marked success. No one can calculate the
| usefulness that may arise, from q school like
| this, to the individual andth community, and
we have always referred TO tia character and
its success with emotions OF high qualification
1t has been continued for goodly number of
years, ard may it still long continue it's course
| OF usefulness.
