COMMENDATORY.—Following is the re- port of Inspector Robb after bis official visit to Brussels Public School and is certainly complimentary to the staff ;— To THE BOARD or PUBLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEES, BRUSSELS, GENTLEMEN,—I beg leave to report that I visited your school on Nov. nth, 23rd, 25th, and 27th, The yards and offices were in a very satisfactory condition. The school rooms and halls were clean, well venti6 ated and comfortable. The caretaking is quite satisfactory. The cutting of the arch between Mr. Cameron's room and the Board room is a decided im- provement in many ways. The entire work of the school is very satisfactory. It would indeed be gilding refined gold to say anything in praise of the older members of the staff. These teachers are, as usual, doing excellent work. Miss McCanius is a decided acquisition to the High School department,—clear and accurate in her teaching and firm in discipline ; should she find it necessary toshake the wrinkles out of the perverse disposition of any of her pupils I ata snre you will support her fully. I niay add ;that the entire business manage- ment ot the Board is very satisfactory in financial matters it is especially strong. I am. Gentlemen. Your obedient servant, D. ROBB. J. C.

The performance is a musical one throughout and contains very little, if anything that might by celled a plot. The costumes arebright, the music of the whistling kind and the dancing easy and graceful, The Olto is composed of eight high-class ants and one of which will make the, audience sit up and listen, The high-class solo concert band. which accompanies the organization, will head the "Koontown" parade, Which takes place at noon, The prices of admission Have been placed at 25c, 35o and see, which considering the large company carried,aro more than reasonable, Re- served scats may he secured at Pox's drug Store. • ormarroaromaaaaa READ the District news and other in- teresting matter on page 6 of this week's POST. .FRIDAY evening ot this week the young people of Melville church hold a social evening in the basement of the church, SOME of our townspeople were guests at the marriage of Miss Amelia Whit field to Angus Brown, on Wednesday afternoon cit this week.
