They thought of hand-car, and then
shudderingly considered the job of

There was an interesting and somewhat affect.

Franklin, on Wednesday last, upon the occasion
Of the farewell taken on that day of the scholars
and teachers in the building by Mr.. Alex. Stuart.
He commenced his Iabors there as teacher in 1870,
and during the last five years hasnot been absent
from his post single day or tardy in his arrival
upon the scene Q single time. He began in the
intermediate grade. and ended in the boys

Stuart has performed his duties as q teacher Is
best sttested by the affection respect and esteem
his conduct has won for him from his fellow
teachers, his scholars and their parents. In
short address, replete with sound advice, COM
bined with words Of encouragement, to incite
them to further pursuit Of knowledge, and
breathing toward all that spirit of affection which
ever distinguishes the true Christian. Yester.
day he was made the recipient OF o handsome
silver pitcher as testimonial Of respect from his
fellow.teachers, which was accompanied with q
beautiful tray Of like material as q tribute from
the scholars Of the esteem In which they hold
him.
Mr.. Stuart has accepted the position Of secrs-
tary Of the Young Mems Christian Association
in this District, recently vacated by Rev. George
A. Hall, and Will soon enter upon his new sphere
Of duty. 1t is fair to suppose that he will con-
tinus to manifest deep interest in the public
schools with which he has been so long and favor
ably connected.
By reference to another page it will be seen
that Mr.. Stuart was married last evening to O
private affair, witnessed only by Q few intfmates
The best wishes Of very large circle Will, how
ever attend the bridal party as they set ont upon
