The Hainosyille school closed ON Friday
for the term. It's teacher, w. G. Hursh
informs me that several of the larger pu-
pills who were represented to him before
taking the school as likely TO be obstre-
perous," proved to be among his best
scholars, and that the school has as a
whole been reasonably tractable under
discipline and made rapid advancement.
The fact that the parents as well as the
pupils are pleased give emphasis to this
statement. b -Oks were presented on last
day as marks of merit and candies and
peanuts distributed 20 all. The pupils on
short notice made a canvass among them
selves for small change, and invested the
proceeds in a present to their teacher.

was duly appreciated.
