The MISSION SCHooL.-The Mission
School which was instituted some
twelve years since, by Mrs. n. T. Jer-
man and has since been under her
management, is doing an important
work in the field it occupies, field
that would go uncultivated, but for the
devoted labors of the few that minister
to its wants. The children have been
generously remembered during the
holidays, the smaller ones the night
after Christmas, when forty bags of
candy were distributed. New. Years
night the two bible classes had liter
ary entertainment supplemented by a
generous treat of cake of various kinds,
for themselves and parents. Nine of
the scholars read appropriate pieces,
which were interspersed with music.
The ladies in the management of the
school wish to express, through us,
their thanks to those who have from
time to time so generously helped them.
