constables are connected with the volunteer corps.

Hon. Mr. Blan: The Court may obtain n Hill. of the win ers. and there are plenty of tnen who sire not «manned with that orgttuisntion to not as constubles ; but it may httppen that those who are nmiointed may not wish to act. and they ran . in effect. cancel thelrnp- polutrucnt by joining the vo unteer forces. sud thus a whole County may he ion without constables.

Hon. Mr. Psuttnt submitted the following amend- ment. which was agreed to:

" Except such volunteers who have nlreaii y been ap- pointed constables for the current year. but who shall also be exempt after the termination of their present ones of constable."

The indies of the Convent are engaged in a good work. They do- osrvo to succeed. and they no doubt will succeed. Having spent s great many of our youthful days in n French settlement. we take at interest to the edu- cation of the Aencliau French uhnbttunts of the island. We want to see them assume that position in the coun- tr to which their talents and their virtues entitle theta.

Mn. [lemon—Tuesday being a lint!" day. I set out for Mlseouche to witness the examination of the pupils of the Convent School. As i was much too early. i took a walk round the ends. Tnbles were placed on one side of th yard n from of the Chapel. where women had al y begun to sell refreshments. The

ten people to sit down quite as much as the o t of the things of which there was no scarcity. I n walked u to the Convent. 0n the platform .0

outside at the bu lding an arbour was erected. formed

grout-greens. along the sides of which was a short Thornton

curtain tastefuli decorated with ink. paper sprl of . and flowirs. As everybot y was busy bringing

u seats and finishing the decorations. I went out. Crowds cfpeopio now began to assemble. but admit- tance was refused to all those who had no business in- side. Although the gates were continually opening to admit the pupils or to niiow the seats to be bron t in. no one tried to force themselves through. and l o not think there ever was s more orderly crowd. After we had taken our seats. His Lordship the Blsho . three Priests. together with a large nullb‘l' of is es and gentlemen took their seats. and the examination . Classes in easy French and English readin lessons were then examined. The younger children en gave recitation in French. A more advanced class was altorwatds examined in French reading. rt of which

translated the French into English wl great case.

One of the 'is then recited a piece which appeared tobe then to at deal of by those who could un- derstand rcnc . Classes were next examined in

French and English Grammar. A French pis was man acted. but unhnppiiy not being a French to olar. I could not nadsrstss a word that was said. but if i
