Too much cannot he said in CON-
nendation of the patrons of our school
Although our neighbOrhOOd is but
sparselY populated, and some OF our
scholars come three or four miles, yet
our journal shows an average daily at
tendance of forty-one scholars, all of
whom seem to vie with each other as
to who can best work and best agree
in the Masters vineyard.
We have offered no reward or prizes,
yet our journal shows that during the
last fifteen days seventeen hundred
and forty six verses have been mem
Orized and recited, and while all are
entitled to much praise, desire espe-
cially to mention the names of Matte

LSuisa Tits, and Jennie Drake. Our
infant class Is composed of children
aged from four to six years. This

In conclusion permit me to say that |
the same spirit that prompts faithful
teachers to be present daily, must |
hold communion with Joseph Frost,
Esq, and his estimable lady, who, not
withstanding the distance, winters
cold or summers heat, may be found
at their posts ready for duty in the
Sabbath school. The thanks of the of
flcers and teachers are hereby tender
ed to Bros Huchins, Noble, and 9TH
ers for valuable assistance rendered.
