354 EowAN" County Schools.
6th. Class—Susan Fulton, Susan Giles, Jane Henderson, Eliza Har-ris,
Martha Trent. These young ladies were examined on reading on
the History of Greece; on Ancient Geography, Moral Philosophy, and
the first volume of Kames' Elements of Criticism, and on the Globes,
except Martha Trent, who did appear on the Elements of Criticism.
The Trustees take particular pleasure in mentioning the progress and
proficiency of these young ladies on all the branches of their studies.
The extent and accuracy of their acquirements are highly creditable
to themselves, and do great honor to the attention and qualifications
of their instructress. They are so nearly equal, as to make it not only
difficult, but invidious to point out distinctions.
Arithmetic.—The following young ladies : Ann Lindsay, Eliza Hall,
Ann E. Lindsay, Ann McConnaughey, Dovy Johnston, Margaret Moore,
Letitia Lindsay, Sarah Causy, Rebecca Eulton, Catharine Devanport,
Mary G. Allen, Caroline Johnston, Letitia Wilson, Elizabeth Martin,
were examined by a committee of the Trustees on Saturday, the 10th.
inst. on Arithmetic; and much to the gratification of the committee,
discovered that they had made considerable progress in this useful and
indispensable branch of education. No distinction is made, but all ap-proved.
Music.—Susan Hughes, Ann E. Lindsay, Margaret Moore, E. A.
Braicy, Eliza Harris, Mary G. Allen, Letitia Wilson, Elizabeth Mar-tin,
Jane Henderson. These young ladies performed a number of
pieces, some of them very difficult, on the Piano Forte. They displayed
considerable proficiency in the rudiments of this elegant and pleasing
science. They all executed their pieces in a style that was very cred-itable
to their tastes and skill, and equally flattering to the feelings
of the Trustees. "Where all did so well, the Board are unwilling to
draw shades of distinction, which it would be difficult to do, when it is
considered that some of these young ladies have been engaged in this
branch for a greater length of time than others.
Painting.—Miss Elizabeth Harris; one colored landscape, part of
another, and painted cape. Martha Trent ; a colored landscape. Cath-arine
Devanport; one colored landscape, and two shaded with Indian
ink.—Eliza Lindsay; two landscapes shaded with Indian ink, a large

ink, a painted trimming. Rebecca Fulton; a colored landscape, and
