The Parish School OF Christ Church, from
it's organization, in November, to, and inelud
ing its Easter tide celebration last night, is an
eminent success, and reflects great credit upon
all connected with it. Many of the children
who looked SO neat and clean last night, and
beha, ed so decorously, while seated m the
pews, and when receiving their presents OF
clothing and books, were, when they first en-
tered the school, hut SO many evidences OF
poverty and Indebtedness, and the manifest
improvement in their condition is the only, but
sufficient, need of praise awarded to those la
dies OF the congregation who have cheertully
undergone the labor necessary to produce it.
