Rev. ]. II. Boswell gave an address on
''Earncslness, which was full OF good
things, and the advice given will long be
remembered by those present. Principal
Evans gave an interesting and instructive
exercise in book keeping, but which lost
much of It's practical worth through want
Of blackboard. The subject was further
discussed by Messrs. Emmons, Ritted-
