Peters Creek notice, has no items in the Caief,

lected Are unworthy of praise for what We do
while others are boasted of often, and, in our
Judgment. are no more worthy, have consoled
ourself with the idea Though rather poor consola-
ton THAT il has been for want of some to COM

dotting down the items of interest that may come
under our observation.

notice school, that has been taught by Mr.. Hile
Ward. The school, under the supervision of Mr..
Ward, has been great success, in every respect.
The school was well attended during the whole term.
There seems to have been an interest taken in the
school by the scholars, than has been for
years past Snow never too deep the wind
cold to prevent their going and rich has been the
reward thereof
And in speaking Of education, We would certainly
be doing great injustice to the young gentlemen and
ladies of Peters Creek, did not give them little
praise for the manner they have conducted the
Pleasant Summit Lyceum, at this place, during the
winter. To he brief the Lyceum is, in every respect
good one, and is o credit to those who have abored
to make it At their last meeting, We noticed
many present from distance, among whom were
Miss Katie Barrett, Misses Lizzie and Mary Mider,
Miss Mamie Williams, Miss Mary Aberly. Mr. An
thony Barrett, j. T. Mider; from Rock Creek, Mr..
