PORT GAWLER WEST.
[From our own Correspondent.
Port Gawler West, May 2.
The first annual examination of Mr. Tupper's
scholars at the new district schoolroom, Two
Wells, was held on Friday, April 27. The exaral'
nation was conducted by Mr. Burton, of Gawler:
Mr. Scown in the Chair. The children seem to be
making very good progress under Mr. Tupper's
tutorship, considering that the school has only
been opened little more than 12. months. The
District Council voted the sum of £2 for the
purchase of books for distribution as prizes, and
Mr. Burton kindly gave a special prize for the best
.regular attendance. Afterwards the children and
others partook of an excellent tea provided by the
parents and friends of the children. The same
evening a lecture was delivered in the schoolroom
by the Rev. Mr. Evans, of Gawler, on 'Four Years
in America,' which was numerously attended.
The rev. lecturer gave some very interesting
sketches of the various scenes and places of note
he had visited during his four years' sojourn in
that country, coupled with some very amusing
Yankee anecdotes, which stirred up the risibilities
of the audience. A hearty vote of thanks was
given to the rev. lecturer, and so ended a very
pleasant afternoon and evening.
The general topio of conversation now is the
want of rain, and apprehensions are beginning to
be entertained of another dry season, which,
together with the depressed state of the wheat
market, makes the future look rather gloomy.
