In this room the principal piece was
the Seasons" represented by four lit

dren's parents for the instruction which
has been impaired to them.
NO. 3. SCHOOL.
Although it had been announced by
the visiting committee of No. 3 school
that the examination would take place
at said school this morning, yet the

a misunderstanding between the Prin-
cipal and the committee. The scholars
were told last evening that the exami-
nation would not take place this morn

number Of the little ones appeared in
school this morning arrayed in their
holiday attire. Many of them were
disappointed.
