SCHOOL MATTERs.-During the past week we
paid q short visit TO our school just across the
way, and was as usual pleased with the execu.
tive ability Of Miss Elliott. the competent teach.
er, In keeping such good order among the restless
little ones. The evident improvement in the
various branches Of study is manifest TO an
occasional visitor. and reflects credit upon the
teacher. But We are led TO believe that much
Improvement can be made at insignificant ex.
pense tn the arrangement Of the school-house
itself. Formerly whan Hamilton possessed more
residents the two rooms into which the house il
divided was filled with scholars, but at present
only a sufficient number attend TO occnpy one
room. leaving the other vacant. 1t is always a
subject VI annoyance TO a teacher. az we'll as

the whole school from their studies. to hold
rrcitations in one small apartment aud this evil

room into a place for recitations and allowing
the scholars to occupy the other. By removing
= partition and putting in u sat OF folding doors,
space would be gained for exercises such as
caIisthoiIes and Rotations, without disturbing
the order of the school.room proper. We are
pleased to hear the trustees have ordered new
forms and seats from below, as the ones now In
sse are aboniinable, both as to comfort and con.
venienee. Too iuany appliances for the comfort
and convenience ~ both teacher and scholars
cannot be obtained. and room. light and air
should always form the principal attributes Of
schoi.houses. Surely no one would object to
an additional tai, IL necessary, 10 enable the
trustees to make many needed improvements,
and we are OF those who would urge the matter
upon their attention at once.
A NEcEssrrr.-Fo a number Of months Bal.

to Troy. taking in several important points on

made to obtain a mail contract through that

The necessities of the residents in the various

D-EMoLIsHED.-we are Informed by the gentle
men composing the committee of arrangement,

Sarsary, which cost nearly $500. now presents
~fearfully demoralized appearance. On hunting
around for the said costly article the committe,
found nothing but small pieces, it having beer
broken up and used for frewood. However, IL,
loss can be made good at a less expense thar
last year.
