MRS. MILLS’S BOARDING-SCHOOL.
Mrs. Mills reports as follows:—“ During the last six months, little worth noticing has occurred, except the temporary dispersion of the girls to their homes, during a heavy storm, and the injurious influence of the collision with the mixed characters brought together on account of the war. Of late, we have had many evidences of the evils that might have resulted to the young people, but for the schools, where they are kept out of the way of temptation. Were this unhappy war settled, we hope to get the school-house so repaired that an interruption from weather may not again be necessary. All are again mustered, and going on as usual. The present number of scholars is, thirty-nine. None have been withdrawn on account of the war, though some of their fathers are engaged in it, and, consequently, give no aid in providing food, which has fallen heavy on the mothers.” Mrs. Mills begs to acknowledge a parcel of clothing from Mrs. Dr. Duncan, Edinburgh; forgot in the Reporter for September; also, a box of various useful articles, from young friends connected with Brunswick Chapel, London.
