of some one of the christian demo minations
than in any other portion Of the county,
and that our school had the largest average
daily attendance than any school in the
county. However we can afford to be
slandered, knowing that these people will
ere long, learn better, but we would be
glad if all of those who think i'll of us.

We all dispersed for the night in some
anxiety. The play could not proceed
without Mr.. Denis, who took an impor-

OF the entertainment was the play, We
all retired to rest, fervently hoping that
the health of Mr.. Denis might be re-
stored by the following morning.
