On Monday evening last a large num- ber of the scholars and friends of the section assembled at the house of Mr. il. ssnuth, where the teacher is boarding and presented Mr. Martin with a hand- some album and dressmg case and the following address Respectbd Teaches,â€" We, yonrpupils, cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing onr feelings towards you for your kindness to us during the past three years. You have assisted us in onr labors and been to us a friend as well as a teacher. In all our difficult tasks you have patiently aided us to master them in onr pleasures you have appeared to take a kindly mterest in our troubles yon have always lent a sympathetic ear, and to our faults been most generous. We think we do not flatter when we say that you have won the esteem of alj, vrith whom you have come in contacts! and feel assured that your presence will be profitable to as during the present year. Please accept this album and dressing case as a slight token of regard in re- membrance of the past and may it give you as much pleasure in accepting as it gives us in presenting. May it always remind you of our school and bring to memory the happy days we haye spent together. We trust you may have many years before you, and that. age may increase your friends and usefulness. Signed in behalf of the school. Annie Walteb, Lottie Brown, Olive Brown, Willie DELEiii:E. January 13, 1890. Mr. Martin was taken completely by surprise but assured his pupds and friends, in a short but heartfelt reply, that he felt truly grateful to them for their expressions of good-will and sym- pathy, and stated that he hoped the year they were still to be together would be one of mutnal pleasure and profit. After spending about two hours of the eyening very pleasantly together, the scholars and friends retired, leaving tbe teacher in possession of his two presents which are really beautiful, and reflect much credit ou those who made so suitable a selection. iHawken, Elisabeth Hawken, Millie EeUs, Mary Leslie, Viokt Manu, Mar- fiery Mann, Fione Moore, Esther J.
