    1. [ENG-WESTMORLAND] PENRITH HERALD, JUNE 13, 1874 / MR. GALL AT "CANNING COLLEGE"
    2. Barb Ontario Canada
    3. The LUCKNOW TIMES of May 13th, gives a long and interesting report of the "Canning College", of which MR. GALL, formerly Assistant Master of Appleby Grammar School, is now Principal. MR. GALL was in Appleby a few months ago, when he married MISS THOMPSON, the accomplished daughter of the late GEO. THOMPSON, Esq., of Bongate Hall; and sister to the present G. R. THOMPSON, Esq. The Canning College is in a most flourishing condition, having 776 students on its rolls, the ratio of Mahometans attending being about 3 to 7 of Hindoos. All the classes were in a high state of efficiency at the annual examination in May last, when MR. GALL's zeal and diligence met with praises from SIR GEORGE COOPER, the Vice-Chancellor and Syndicate of Calcutta University, of which he may well be proud, and of which he is known here to be highly deserving, as a more meritorious, able, and plodding student never came from within the walls of Aberdeen University, of which he is a graduate. MRS. GALL, who is with him now in Lucknow, writes home accounts of what she sees in India, in such a pleasing and graphic style, that it is hoped extracts of her letters may some day appear in print. ________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada.
