THE LADIES' COLLEGE.

The "brcaking-up" of the Ladies' College took place ou Wednesday, when the principal's report was submitted as follows: — This closes the lSth year of our work in Eemnera The health of the pupils throughout the whole year has been perfect. The roll has been qnite full, both iv boarders and day pupils. With but very few exceptions,, the pupils have worked faithfully ai their studies, and their yearly eiaminaiiun attests to the fact that the work has not been wholly lost upon them. The English studies have been prominent in claiming attention, and have been most thoroughly pursued under able teachers. French is studied with avidity, but the enthusiasm for German might be greater with advantage. Both languages have been Uingiit by native professors. The technical and physical education has been consistently carried out throughout the year The musical studies have been regularly pursued, under their several able aud persevering teachers. Some good passes at the Eoyal College practical examinations— senjor. and junior—were secured and we hope when the list comes out to find many have passed the theoretical exams No pupil has been sent up for matriculation this year, for those who are ready are coo young. The art studies have been conducted for two-thirds of the year by Air Horace Moore-Jones. Specimens of the MessmaMng are Been iv tho dresses the cider -girls are wearing.
