KEMAKKS ON SCHOOLS DESERVING SPECIAL MENTION AS NEARLY AS PuSSIBLE IN THE ORDER OF MERIT.

(From the Super intendent’s Repo: t.)

SumMerstpor — Neil McLeod, Principal.- In wy Report of last year | expressed my opinion of the schools of this town and their teachers. 1 can give a similar teat mony thisyear. The excellence of the work done by the teachers, the etlicient organiza tion, and effective grading of the different departments, entitle the schools in this tuwn to the hiphest rank. Four new teach- ers were appolated this year, viz :— Miss L Reid, formerly Principal of the Advauced School ; Miss Hamilton, if Sammerside ; Miss Brehaut, of North St. Kleanor’s; and Miss Annie McLean. The last named takes the place of Mr. Charles Murphy, who retired from the pro- fession.

The two lodies who have charge of the Eastern District School of Summerside, manifest a degree of zeal in the welfare of

the yourg, deserving of the highest appre-

It is one of the best Premary Departments in

At about fifteen minutes before eight in the morning, the bell in the police building began to toll Hughes’ death knell. Al- ready the Sheriff, doctors and jurymen were in the condemned man’s cell and found him perfectly calm and reconeiled to ns fate. The doomed mau arose early in the morn- ing and when the keeper visited him at about seven o'clock, he ate a piece of bread and butter for his breakfast. Shortly before the time fixed for his execution he

| to the seaffold with the utmost composure,

and calmly waited while the Deputy Sheriff adjusted the noose around his neck. After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Newnham, the repe was cat by the Sheriff. and the unfor- tunafe man was launched into elernity. The neck was broken and he died withouta struggle, save aslight twitching of the hands and sme heaving of the breast. The bedy was then taken down, and after the usual
