The Gnal examinations, which have been
in progress at the Peabody school for the last
week, were very gratifying to the friends of
that institution. The examination results"
which are on file at the Office OF Superin-
tendent Foute, show that both teachers and
pupils have been faithful and in earnest dur
ing the year. Owing to the short session.
there were no closing exercises, the principal
deeming it necessary to devote all the time
to the usual work of the school-room. Misses
Anna Banks, Elite Burdick, Lydia Creighton,
Rosa Jones, MoIlie Robertson, Lessie Russell,
JUNE Thompson, and BERTHE Thompson, and
Masters Battle Brown and Albion RogersoD,
having satisfactorily passed very rigid ex-
animation on the entire grammar grade
course, are prepared to enter the high school
at the opening CT the fall session. The

and Telitha Hume, of the seventh grade,

and for being perfect in attendance and de-
pertinent during the session.
