Oar friends of New Lyme and South New Lyme, have not, it seems, been fully placated bv the success of the effort to es tahlish a post office al New Lyme, but now find grounds for misunderstanding in the running or a common cheese factory. They have, therefore, concluded to have a factory for each locality, though they are probably within fifty rods or each other. In carrying out Ibis plan, tbe second factory has been begun, and there is likely to be a time in collection of milk, and the securing of patrons for tbe re spective The Prospects of the opening season for freighting business on the lake are not particularly flattering, and our vessel owners generally wear rather elongated faces. The amount ot grain la store at Chicago is said to be more than a million bushels less than at the same time last year. Tbe lake is clear ol ice, so tar as can be seen from this shore, but there is little stir at the harbor, in the way of preparation for tbe opening season, owing mainly, we suppose, to the unfitness of tbe weather for out door work, bat partly from the discouraging prospects of business.

The sale of tbe Julia WUlarA, a week, or two ago, was induced in a great measure by the lack of buoyancy in business matters. Ret. Henry Bruce, brother or C. E.

The magni tude of India, the various characters, languages, teeming population, dec, were themes of much interest, anil the time was very profitably and pleasantly occupied. He did not broach the subject of the direlul famines which now prevail, and to which the country is exposed, bat it would, we think, be a subject of deep interest for allusion at aome future time. -li 'V. jf Csanob or Firm.

To the Board of Education and the Public The Board of Examiners would respect-fully report that tbe several examining intuit tees attended the late puhlic ex am.

nations oi o-ir schools, and have sub mitted to us tbe following reports. The committees consisted of six members each, but to save space, we annex the ntmes of those only who made out lhe reports The other members who were present fully endorse them. High School unoer the charge of the Superintendent, and Miss Porter, Teacher: We wi re well pleased with tbe exarai nation of this department. The quiet and dignified manner or the teacher bas so Tar pervaded the whole school, that the committees hardly realized that they were in a school-room, but elt rather as ir they were visiting a pleasant literary circle. The exercises were all conducted in so kindly a manner, that each duty was shorn or its severity, and study seemed a privilege rather than a task.

With no uncertainty or manner, but with an apparent acquaintance with the diff rent branches, the pupils passed through the various ecitations, quietly and easily, and in some cases manifested an actual delight in the exercises. Noticeable among the recitations were those in Algebra, and in the Latin Reader, conducted by Miss Porter, and those in Natural Philosophy snd Geometry, under Mr. Eiipatrick, and especially that in Virgil, in which class there was hut one scholar, which was exceedingly good. Tbe illness ot the Principal precluded any practice in singing, and for other reasons the exercise in English Composition was ommitted. But In mien brunches as we were permitted to witness, there was a very commendable degree of proficiency in all the pupils.

The aspec of the school which we most heartily approve, however, was tbe general high toue ol culture, both of mind and morals, which whs noticeable more in the unconscious influence of both superintendent and principal, than in anything de S. D. PEET. A Grammar Miss Adams, Teacher The exercises of the morning session of this department were spelling, writing, grammar and arithmetic. A combination of circumstances preyented atlebdanoe up on these exercises, on the part of each memlier of this committee, and no judgment can be rendered other than the one based upon lhe known capacity of tlie teacher, and what the committee saw or he afternoon examination.

This examination was very suggestive of thorough ness ip discipline and instruction. A nod, a glance of a word from th teacher seem-d amply sufficient to procure periect ort der. This teacher Is to he congratulated that it falls to her lot to instruct such an IntflULeoi olsss ol pupils as those that attend npon this depwment, The examination In History was written snd by and showed a degree of proficiency highly creditable to both scholar snd teacher. The concert reading was moss than good. rendering ol i i 1 "Mrs.

Caudle" by tbe united voices of the entire school, was unusually fine. The singing was good taking into the ac count the fact that no music teacher has been employed in tbe schools of late. In fine, we regard this school as well worthy of the confidence and support of its pat GEO. W. WAITE.

Grammar Miss Markham, Teacher The classes in Reading both in concer and singly, did themselves very great credit. The emphasis and punctuation were especially fine. Spelling was good, considering the difficult exercise. Composition, really excellent The plan of teaching riting must prove a successful one. In arithmetic, they performed some difficult examples on the black board, and Bliowed themselves well acquainted with the principles.

In Grammar, they are doing very finely parse and give tbe rules promptly. 1 ht discipline of the school will admit of no criticism. Too much cannot be said in praise of the singing. Tlie scholars of this school are especially fortunate in haviug so capable and thorough a teacher in music, as well as in all the regular brandies of study. MRS.

DR. W. M. EAMES. Grammar Miss Robertson.

Teacher The teaching was thorough the knowledge obtained, independent. The ability to ask questions distinctly by tbe teacher, and to understand and answer promptly by tbe scholars, was excellent. Tbe examination was not or part, but the whole. Almost every one was prepared. In all the studies, the school acquitted itself well, but in Geography it particularly The government seemed quiet and kind Miss Robertson is certainly a good teacher, and it would be hard to find any good cause Tor criticism.

A. D. MORTON. Grammar Miss Crooker, Teacher We were present at the examination of each class in reading, spelling, arithmetic, geography and rammer. If, to say that we feel especially privileged and thankfi for being assigned this- trust, will help to express our satisfaction at the result of on I day's experience, we say and anything else in our power, to jostly report the merits of teacher and scholars in this We feel, i.i this, relieved of much that might otherwise' be difficult or embarrassing, by making it possible for as to "say.

without reservation or distinction, that all did nobly. The questions by the teacher, were ask ed at random, and in rapid succession, through the' various pages of their text books, and some, questions by tbe exam iners, were wi ll calculated to test the rea diness and skill ot tue pupils, and the an swers were invariably prompt and cor rect It is evident that thoroughness and order are the controlling forces of this school, aided by an earnest flow of sym pathy from teacher to pupils, returned as obviously by them with respectfulness of leeling and deportment, MRS. M. MANCHESTER. A Primary M'us Warminglon, Teacher We desire to express our satisfaction and pleasure at what we saw and beard- We would call especial attention to the writing, as tbe method of teaching is hew to us, and appears to be very and improving to the children.

Geogra phy was excellent. Arithmetic was welT and the advance ample lor the age of the scholars. Reading was all or more than we could reasonably expect. Spelling was more than good. The exer cises in analysis, contrary to our expecta tions, appeared to be well understood and enj-ived.

The exercises were interspersed Willi oeautHui songs. wbicU cannot but in spire the' little singers to a higher and betb life. Is not this branch of education worthy of more attention than can be. giv en to it by any teacher with all tbe care and anxiety of such a school! secret of the quiet and good order, preserved durinjf tbe loug examination, ap peared when, at the close, the little ones came to receive from their beloved teacher the patting good bye kiss. We regret bat more were not present to eojoy the pleasant and instructive repast to which A.

D. STRONG. Primary Miss Ensign, Teacher: Our visit to this room his been a Very pleasant one indeed. The scholars Were uuexcepliouably neat and ktteulive each striving to respond to the teacher's bell with a promptuess that was ouly equaled by theii ambition to answer the questions correctly. Tbe examination in spelling was from words taken from their reading lessons.

The answnrs were written, very neatly, and were very generally correct Tlie examples in riling were very fine- following correctly the three principles the manuscript was uniform and neat In the construction, of language, we were surprised to see children so young, so apt We would recommend that a system of drawing be attached to this department. Scarcely a grown person but has an ambition to lay plans for a bouse for his future home; i nd not one in a hundred knows bow to mark on paper even the ouudations of a house. Tbe scholars' quietness, neatness, promptness and improvement is evidence of the. teacher's capacity to keep the school well. H.

HALL. Primary Miss Prentice, Teacher: This school labored under some special disadvantages during part of the year, from causes beyond the control of tbe teacher. It was made up Irora parts of schools, rendering a thorough classifica tion But these disadvantages have been mostly overcome, and the school exhibits a decided improvement. They have made good, very good progress in spi lling and reading, and are to be es pecially commended. The concert reading was ery fine.

For beginners in arithmetic, they were very prompt and accurate. The government of the school is firm, but kind. The seats of this school are a pillory of torture, and ought to be speedily replaced by such as are better suited to be comfort or tbe MRS. M. C.

COPELAND. Primary Miss Marsh, Teacher: i We were wholly pleased with this de partment, excepting the Imperfect ventila tion and torturing seats. 1 We are disposed to call the modes of Instruction perfeot haviug never seen better. Not only are the children, most of whom are in their first or second year in school, good spell ers abd readers, but they are also well Instructed In definitions aud Tue knowledge which they bare of the dictionary, of natural objects 'and of Ge ography, is surprising, until we have seen how tbey are almost momentarily instruct- d. We admire the kind, but perfect, and pVrfi cily gentle So subtile Is tbe teacher's Influence, that the chilbreo em to be the authors of tbe unconstrain ed order of i room, Bong and caHst tlienic at frequent Intervals relieve tbs ts dlum of study, and fill hundred little hs.irts with Joy, and light up a hundred faces with happiness that, unawares, is communicated to lhe committee aud spectators.

We came sway, ourselves happy in the happiness of our children. The com mlttees are wholly pleased, and restrain the further expression of their approba tion, lest their praise should aeem to bs Tour Board need to add but little to these reports. We endorse them as, in our opinion, well considered and just. We wish to bear testimony to the high character of the general management or the school. The superintendent bas shown himself efficient and faithful; thorough but kind in bis discipline, and the impress of his work is seen, more or less, in ever' school.

We have a corps of teachers of whom we can well afford to be proud. We add but two suggestions. One is to endorse emphatically, what has been said as to seats in the and Primary. They are not only uncomfortable, but injurious to health and good manners. If the object is to produce curvature of the spine, round shoulders, and awkward, ungainly habits, tbey are well adapted to their pur pose.

If any school should have suitable seats, it is the Primary departments. We urge tbe immediate removal of these instruments of torture and deformity. Another suggestion respects iiistruction in singing. If the funds allow, we recom mend the employment of a cupable sing ing teacher. We cannot but regard it a mistake to deprive the schools of the benefit which such instruction affords.

Nothing else can take the place of singing in the school room as a relaxation, and as an aid in discipline and in instruction in reading, it is invaluable. We are confident that the puhlic will justify and approve this needful expense. J. N. McGippert A.

1 The road between Orwell station and tbe business centre, which had been somewhat encroached upon by the pushing nut on either side of the fences of the land and being altogether of insufficient width for so important a thoroughfare, was re-surveyed ir late by the direction of the Commissioners. As there seemed little oppositipn.tothejvideBing and Btnuehteniag bf the Hues, the matte? was left With the trustees of lhe' township, to run the lines and establish tl.e uniform width of sixly feel. The territory for widening was taken mostly from the north side. After fixing the lines, the road is to be thoroughly overhauled, arid something done in the way of ballasting, either wiih gravel or cinders either of which will require a long haul, as there are no gravel-beds in the immediate vicinity. The expense, therefore, will, be a Somewhat serious matter to contemplate and meet The citizens alfo need, along this line, a side walk a subscription for, which- has been started.
