The size ofthe building is 124x5S, with
a chapel extending back to 74x2S.

village architecture, in its varied forms
OF modern taste and beauty-lovcrs Of
all that is wild and enchanting in nature,
can here feast their eyes and hearts to
fullest extent The views from this lofty
elevation are absolutely charming.

is Of fac aud tasteful proportions, and
was constructed at total cost of S5l, 800.

ton, told US that it was well patronized.
The number of students now in attend
