RiKK", yesteniay, we visited the Fourteenth Four-teenth Ward seminary, the present term of which commenced on the tirst instant, in tho commodious ward building. The school, nt present, is dividwl into three dcpartmenLs, each under competent teachers, nnil nil untler the general snpemsion of Mr. Kij:.. tlie principal, who also h;is the immediate charge of the grammar department, the pupils of which he personally instincts. This branch of ! the school in which forty-six student stu-dent arc enrolled occupies the large anil elegantly finished nnd furniehed hall in the centre of the building. It is one of tho finest finished India in the Territory, and it is doubtful if there is a room in the Territory used for school purposes which equals it. Its high ceiling, numerous and large windows, and good ventilation make its sanitary condition all that could be desired in n study room. The west wing of the building is occupied by the intermediate, nnd the cast wing by the primary departments. depart-ments. These have respectively thirty-six and twenty-eight pupils, and arc presided over, the former by Mrs. M. D. yhelton. im able and experienced ex-perienced teacher, nnd the latter by .Miss Kumell, n young lady of ability and a competent instructress. Bolh of these rooms are ample in size for present requirements, and, like the large hall, well-lighted, airy nnd comfortable. Both fire also furnished fur-nished with the latest improved im-proved school furniture.

A hand- i some twenty-six inch bell has been j received from the East, and in a few . days will be swung on the top of the ; main building. ! We congratulate Mr. Kiggs on hc-in.; hc-in.; the founder and successful principal princi-pal of one of the best conducted and most flourishing schools in the Territory. |
