THE SHAKSPEREAN hEADINGS.
Draft Stt:?At..—To assist m paying; off the
dr bt incurred by the congregation of St Geer-
ge'6Church, in the erection of the Rectory,
now nearly completed, -Mr. Griffin, pias, with
his usual gcodavature, consented to give a
reading from the Merchant of Venice. I
have had the pleasure to hear Mr: Griffin
?bad this'sameplay, and it appeared to me
'that lits'general conception of the characters,
but more especially that of the Jew, was re-
matkably accurate. IIis re•+deiing of the
Whole play exhibited a highly appreciative
and cultivated taste. 'Add to this a fine
goodly presence and a rich sonorous voice,
over which he has perfect mastery, and you
" wiI1 thea readily believe that the inhabitants
of this town have a 'rich treat in store for.

Tnosa MAIL. ' we hay e received sev=
;rap letter! from township clerks urging us
to hurry on. the Assessment Rolls. -A,11
ire can say is, that they were mailed in the
Goderich post office •iicarly a inontli ago l'
and; we-Tiave'the assura=ce - of the officials
that they were dispatched at once In the
name of wonder,then,,how could such large
parcels go estray when: they were' most
carefully made up and sent away by our
own hands. It is really too bad ,that in a
matter of such 'great public importance
a complaint of this kind has to be made.
If -some coniitry '.postmasters werelook-
ed after a little it would not be amiss. As
it is now, the parcel post ' into the new
townships is untrustworthy lo the last de
s gree.

y' The inspection, of our schools' here took
puce on the 25th ult-.before John Nairn
L..S., in presence of the Trustees
and a • -lame number of . friends. ''Miss
-Hanna's Division: was. examined - in the
forenoon; and the improvement ryas very
y
Striking.: It was. evident -that she had
been mos painstakingainstaking and successful-' 'In
the afternoon the advanced' classes under
Mr. Gerona were fully examined.. All
the exercises displayedthe clever and ex-
perienced teacher,'. but the mutual ques-
tioning in "ancient and, modern History by
a large class was particularly goof?- There
was: also very correct :parsing in a large
class, and; man. • ines imens of writing.

At the conclusion' of the forenoon and 'af-
ternoon examinations, Mr -Nairn delivered
addresses: upon the advantages to the .scho-
lar of Determination and Pereevereace,
and also upon the -Powers of Mind..

The Annual' Meeting of .the Goder�ich ',

drew's Church:, last er'ening. The atten-
dance was.good. The chair was taken ,by,
.T. V. Detlor Esq, the president.. After:
the preliminary devotional exercises, the
Chairman- made a few suitable" practical
'remarks r arding the objeet of the, -meet.
ing, and the Report was read by the Rev_•'
Mr Mackid.' The statement"read by -.the
Treasurer and. Depository was -very inter
esting, but. owing to anoversightin chttr_-
b'ing: sales of books from the Tract Soc'y,
it was re -committed to the committee to
make • the, -necessary :corrections: From
whatwe could gather, it appears that the
receipts ftii-.the yar• were large, amount-
ingg to 4369 38, and the subscription and
collections$71: 94.
The meeting was then addr_essed,by the,
• :Rev. Mr_ lire: 18 moving' the adoption' o'r
