ANNUAL EXAMINATION OF ST. PETERS PARo-
CHIAL sCHooIs.-Ihe Girls' Sckool.-That most
excellent school for the education of girls-St.
Peter's-situated ON Marigny street, Third
District, held its annual examination on Tues
day and Wednesday last. This, which is the
parochial school of st. Peter and Paups parish,
and Is the first of the Jealous and indefatiga-
BILE labors of it's pastor, Father c. Moynihan, is
in very fourishing condition. The manner
in which the pupils went through the two
days examination, the promptness with which
they answered the many questions asked them,
their facility in unraveling the intricacies of
syntax, their quickness in working out the
most difficult problems in arithmetic, these,
and their lady-like demeanor, all 60 to prove
that theirs are no ordinary instructors. The
ladies who have the charge of this school are
the Sisters of the Holy Cross. They have
shown by the educational and moral training
of their pupils that they understand, in all its
nicely, the art of instructing the young-that
they have not their superiors as teachers.
Well may the people of st. Peter and Pauls
parish be proud of their school, of the good
and educated ladies who preside over it, and
Of that veteran and hard-working laborer in
the vineyard of his Master, Father C. NOM
CHAN.
Boys School.-The examination of the pupils
of the boys school takes place on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings next, July 4th and 5th.
The Directors of this school are always very
pains-taking in the arrangement of the exam
ination exercises, and we learn that on this oc-
casion the exhibition will be of o most enter
tanning nature, and those who take an in
terest in the education of Catholic youth will
be we'll recompensed for their trouble in pay
ing visit on either of the above evenings
We are indebted to Mr.. NJ P. Dryer for invita-
lions to attend, which we shall endeavor to use.

ton twenty five per cent in the rate of premium
is precisely equivalent to an annual cash diridcnd
