To say that the ddivei y of the various exercises weic pcPect, w,‘iiM he incorrect, thme woe partial failures as there alwa)*- haw been and always will be or itch occasion: t but I am confident that the citizens who attended, will sustain me when I say that the exercises as a whole were excellent, above the average, and betokened on the part of the teachers, a painstaking care that should be, and no doubt bgratifying to the parents of the children*Space w ill not permit me* to individualize to to any extent.
