The following pupils stood at the head of the three depart ments: Collegiate department Joseph Smith Classl gal, Charles Gately; English, Susan Beers. The term closed ,Iearlier than usual with the understanding that the pupils could continue their studies | in August, if desired, after the return of the Principal from his vacation. Alaughable incident occurred few days ago in our own home which will do to tell as illustrating the saying, Let well enough alone." It happened thus: we, in passing through the yard just after dinner, saw ashOe laying ill the path as the clouds in the northwest betokened shower, we stopped down and picked up the shoe, remarking, as we gave it a toss into the kitchen window, that shoe will get wet if left out doors. In the evening when we returned home found to our disgust that we had thrown the shoe into q tub of water aud if we had left it alone it would have remained dry.
