Mr.. d. L. Hayes of New York, associate
author of the Spcnccrian system OF pen
manship, has been in town the past week,
giving valuable (gratuitous) course of in

to reap an abundant harvest. The teachers
and scholars are all loud in his praise and
it is to he hoped that the parents will also

was very fully attended. After reading of
the Scriptures and prayer, the report of
