The half-yearly examination of the Misses Daniel's school took place in the presence of a number of visitors on Thursday last when the readiness and ease with which the scholars went through their various exercises drew forth the very satisfactory expressions of -those present, and their examiner, the Rev. D. Badger, who complimented their teachers on the attention which they had evidently been devoting to those entrusted to their charge ; and after some very trite remarks to the scholars the prizes were awarded as follows:— First Class— Priscilla Bridgman, first prize: Mary Craig, second do. Second Class— Mary Ann King, first prize ; Henry Smith, second do. Third Class — Stedman Buttrose, first prize ; William King, second do. Fourth Class— Wycliffe Stow, first prize; Alice Darby, second do. The weather for the past fortnight has enabled our farmers to make considerable progress jn seeding, a good many having finished; and I be- lieve another week will complete the season, which may be said to have been the latest we have had for some years."2
