MILTON.

Our public school under the proficient
up rvisiou Of Prof Collins and his corps of
faith al assistants, are meeting with unpar-
leied success, and from present indications
will continue to do so, as they are emiuently
qualified for the practice of their profession
and spare 10 time nor means in hitting their
pupils to grspple successfully with the stern
duties of prsct ical life On last Friday the
27;h, the regular monthly reunion was held
in the hall and was a grand success from
beginning to end. Even the little ones ac-
quilted themselves admirably. Many visi-
tors were present, and the teachers received
great COMMUNICATION for the grand work they
are doing Aud it is to be hoped that their
noble principles which they are endeavoring
to infuse into their pupils will not die when
the school term closes, but will augment year
by year, and live lives of usefulness, honor
and trust
