Professor MorriSsette has been connected

school in the city. He is Master OF Arts
Of William and Mary College, and is known
as ripe scholar, q courteous gentleman, q
working Christian, and firm but gentle

terest in the children entrusted to his
charge, and under his watchful guidance
and fostering care still more successful
career is predicted for our public schools.
All the teachers bear tribute to the gene
raj good cor duct Of the scholars. In no city
OF similar size Can more orderly, neat, or
studious pupils be found. The infliction OF
penalties has not been frequent, and there
have been no eXpulsions. Such record is
creditable alike to the principal and his as
sistants and to the pupils. The session is
expected to resume on or about the first
Monday in September. The session just
