This was followed by an address from Dr. Bos well.

It appeared that 38 ot the students were entitled to this honor. Each one of this number was duly presented with a copy ot the roll, which was a very handsome one. A copy, elegantly framed,, was ex hibited, which will be retained - In the school -room, x The : exercises throughout were interspersed with the choicest music. The song3 by the school were particular ly beautuul . The teachers reported sixty- eight names enrd.'led during the past term.

Precisely at 4 ; o'clock the i exercises of the afternoon closed. Patrons and friends returned to their homes, feeling richly rewarded for having paid the teach ers of this school a visit.
