In the 2nd Division there is one pay school, - the teachers education is limited yet the best that can be procured at present - he has industry and will to recommend him. This School is at Bowling Green, Caroline County.

Two pay schools were recently commenced in the 3rd Division one at Tappahannock, the other at Loretto, Essex County. The teacher at Tappahannock came from Philadelphia, the one at Loretto late a pupil of Mrs Stoutenburgh. These Schools promise to be well patronized.

In the fourth Division there are no schools in session at present. A school was opened at Durretsville Richmond Co. by a colored man from Philadelphia, Pa. but during last month he left intending to return - as he stated - after the holidays. I doubt his return. 

In the 5th Division no schools in session at present. Last month Miss Howland from N.Y. teacher of the school near Heathsville, Northumberland County, was called home on account of the Death of her mother, she is expected to return. 

It is expected that an additional school will be opened in this Division, - the teacher coming from New York.
