SCHOOL ExAMINATIoN.-The pupils "
Mrs. Belle w. Smiths school, in this city,
have been undergoing an examination in
their several classes during the past two
days. 1t was our pleasure, in common
with other friends of tho school, to witness
a goodly portion of the exercises distin-
gushing that interesting occasion. There
were some bright little specimens Of lads
and misses who made their marks in the
pathway of their trying ordeal, rejecting
great credit upon themselves and their
teachers; but where there were 30 many
who did we'll, as was the case in fact with
the tout ensemble, it would appear invidious
10 us to particularize as to names or special
distinction. Suffice it to say, that the ex-
ercises taken in all Of their details from
the rudimentary up through all the vari-
GUS classes in geography, grammar and
reading, Tin French and English), comro-
sition, music, &c, came off eminently
gratifying and satisfactory.
Mrs. Smith, as also her assistants,
Miss Mary Terrier, Mrs. Walter, (French
Teacher J, and Mrs. Morris, Music Teacherl
deserve great praise for their interchangeable
exertions and skill in forwarding the pu
pills under their charge to SO remarkable
an extent in educational training and &C
complishmonts.
