School Examination and Tea Party.-On Friday last, the 18th, the scholars attending the Wesleyan Day School, on. the Tillimby estate, were examined by J. H. Boughton, Esq., accompanied by several ladies, in presence of several others who attended on purpose to hear the examination. The pupils were examined in arithmetic, grammar, geography, &c., and all present expressed themselves highly pleased by the aptitude and proficiency of the scholars generally. After examination the pupils, in the several classes, were rewarded according to merit-the books being provided gratuitously by Mr. Boughton ; when the whole party, consisting of fifty children, accompanied by the teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Chaucer, walked in pro- cession to the residence of Mr. Boughton, where they sat down to a delicious and plentiful repast generously provided by Mrs. Boughton ; after partaking of which the children enjoyed themselves in healthful and innocent amusements till sunset in an adjoining field, when they returned to tea, and spent the evening pleasantly until 9 p.m., when the party broke up highly delighted and gratified-the boys expressing their sense of Mr. and Mrs. Boughton's kindness and liberality by several hearty cheers. Much praise is due to Mr. and Mrs. Boughton for the deep interest they take in the welfare of the rising generation ; and the substantial proofs they give of their determination to encourage education will long be remembered with gratitude by the youth of both sexes in this vicinity.
Jan. 21st, 1850.
