FOREIGN OUTLooK-The Russians have
successfully crossed the Danube at many
points and in force. and the fghtingis now
on the Turkish side oil the river. the
Russians slowly but surely advancing
upon the great objective point OF the
war-Cons.antinople. There has, as
yet, been no first-class engage ment or
real test OF the mettle Of the two ar
mics. but the conviction is general and
daily becoming stronger, that unless
Russian progress is arrested by an arm
'stice or by European Intervention, the
Turk must soon 60 under. But whcth-
er he does or not, the taking of Constan-
tinop!e, with the consequent subjuga-
ton Of Turkey, does not necessarily
mean peace and may prove. and in
our judgement is likely to prove, the
beginning of long struggle TO which
all the different nations Of Europe. with
the possible exception ofSpain, may be-
come parties.

Great praise is due to the teacher,
Charles F. Norris, ESQ.,, for his atten-
ton to the school and proficiency in the
art Of improving his scholars. The chill
dren are all devotedly attached to him
and the parents are anxious to secure
his services as teacher for the coming
year.
After the exercises were over, the
company adjourned to the hospitable
mansion Of Mr.. J. J. Graves, where they
spent the evening in enjoying them
selves by tripping upon the light fantas-

a very large attendance. The exami.

aged their progress during the past
school year. The examination being
now complete, we prepared ourselves
to listen to the next proceedings. Very
soon the speaking began, and great at
tention was given TO the young speak
ers who so ereditably performed their
duties. Their performances were pre-
hminary but of very excellent char
acter and besides il was quite discerna-
bic BY all present that no pains had been
spared on the part OF the young Teacher
to engraft in the minds of his pupils the
use and advantages Of education. The
speaking being over. the children were
arranged in a semi-circie around the
stage which Mr.. Jno. A. Scott now rs.
eended. and delivered a most eloquent
address. Having given the teacher and
his pupils our best wishes for their fu-

the room TO BE- cleared for Sance. and
soon the children were engaged in this
innocent recreation. All were relac-

children departing for their homes much
