THE GREEDY INSTITUTE. examina-
ton exercise of this school occurred on We'd
nesday and Thursday last, and were of very
high order. A large number Of persons were
present and thus evinced the deep interest they
felt in the school and its future welfare. 1t
has been very pleasant and profitable term
to those in attendance, and the school has en-
rolled larger number of pupils than ever be.
fore.
The advantageous location of this school, its
healthy situation and its absolute freedom from
influences which distract the attention of the
pupil from his work, are not SO well known as
they deserve to be; but as they daily become
more apparent, many are availing themselves
of its superior inducements. The school now
offers unequalled facilities to those desiring to
secure first-class education. The principal
Mr.. j. M. Hawkes., has had several years of
successful experience and the preceptress, Miss
Maria 5. Merrill, has just returned from a two
years sojourn in Europe, where she has learned
to speak both the French and German Prof.
e. A. Blanchard of Boston has returned to
reside during the next term, and will give les
sons in instrumental music, piano, violin
cornet, etc., to all who desire it, The next
term of the Institute commences Monday, Dec.
Sd.
The entertainment by the pupils, consisting
OF declamatioDs, music, ETC., will come off in
Institute Hall on Monday evening next. If
stormy will be postponed until next evening.

Apollinaris Water, already recommended by
the leading physicians of Europe and America
for its virtues and superiority over. all other
mineral waters, and now receive copy of the
London Illustrated News of Sept. 49, 1877, con-
tanning an illustrated article descriptive of the
Spring and the water it gives forth, which is
we'll worth attention. To give such of our
readers as may not be able to obtain copy of
this paper, and see for themselves what the
leading representative Illustrated Journal of
the Old Country says of the Apollinaris, an
idea of the extent to which the water is used
in England, we quote the following: SIN 1875
six million bottles were shipped to England,
and in the month of June, 1877, alone, no less
than thirteen hundred thousand bottles were
unloaded in London" The Apollnaris Water
is rapidly becoming popular in this country.
