CHAftLBS-SVRBEV LADIES' SCHOOL.
The distribution of prizes took place at
the above school on Wednesday, the 17th
inst., when the Rev. F. Neale (late of
Horton College) presided. Proceedings were
opened by prayer, followed by a most in
structive speech from Mr Neale, after which
the report waa read by the principal, Mis3
TViUon. A.A.

In June last I succeeded Mrs F. Richards
as principal of the Ladies' School, so well
and favorably conducted by her for the
lost 20 yearn. The first quarter commenced
?with nearly 40 pupils, einca which our
number* have steudily increased. We hope
to sue a titill further increase, an our accom
modation and teaching stuff are quite
sufficient for a much larger number. 1
have much satisfaction in reporting that
great progress bos been made in all cub
fects, especially in r.he case of the junior
classes, nud several new branches of study
have been introduced both in junior and
senior classes. I have also tried to interest
the upper classes in English literature
and historical research, and above all,
in everything that relates to the
country in which they live. In languages,
also, the result 8 have been excellent, a
high percentage being gained in many
cases. Mr A. W. Birchall, with his cus
tomary kindness, gave a special prize for
writing, which was awarded by him to
to MisB Webber. A second prize was also
awarded by Air A. Haywood. The sewing
was kindly examined by Mrs Haywood,
who found the whole so good that she bad
considerable difficulty in awarding the
prize. The prizes have bean gained by
girls who, by their industry, have
thoroughly deserved them, although thero
may be some equally deserving yet not so
successful. To these I wool I say, do not
be discouraged by your failures, but re
solve by dint of persevornuce to succeed in
the future. To my colleagues I beg to
tender my moHt hearty thanks for the
painstaking and conscientious manner in
which they have always performed their
duties
