It is gratifying to learn that the classes formed last winter 

 for the study of various scientific subjects were very successful; 

 the attendances good, and the grants from the Science and Art 

 Department high. By the 17 students who sat in the examina- 

 tions no fewer than 27 certificates were obtained. Similar classes 

 are again this winter in full operation under the County Council, 

 and Mr. Crowther is engaged in giving in these rooms lectures on 

 Geology, Mineralogy, Steam, Mechanical Engineering, Botany, 

 Hygiene, and Shorthand. The classes are well attended, some 

 70 students availing themselves of this opportunity of acquiring 

 knowledge.
