The Boone Partridge, is being carried on by the Rev. C. Huntingdon of Hankow.

Episcopal) and in the Wuchang High School "(Wesleyan Methodist) there fave been many. sore candidates for admission than could be received. In both these schools it should be remembered the scholars have to pay for their education.
