School Examrnation-The clos
ing examination Of the scholastic
year at the school of Misses Ken
nedy and Hart has been held during
the past two days and will be COM
pleted today.
THE Editor has had the pleasure
of being present during a portion

other patrons of the school has
been highly pleased with the re-
citations of the young ladies.
1--WE have been present during
examinations in primary geo.
graphy, arithmetic, logic, algebra,
astronomy and French. While all
the recitations were most crafty

were excellent. We saw quite a
young lady going through the most
intricate problems in algebra with
the facility of venerable profess
sor, and another reading and speak
ing French almost with the fluency
of a native.

well for the care and faithfulness
with which they had been ipstruc-

1.-THE degree of proficiency dis
played by the young ladies in the
higher branches of learning was
very gratifying. The recitations
gave evidence of much diligence
and intelligence upon the part of
the pupils, and thorough system
and skillful training by the in
structors.
1.-THE compositions were very
good. There was real poetry of
thought in the Sunbeam, and
good sense and humor in the verses,
