SEASIDE EDUCATION, BEACH GLEN, SUMNER. MR C. L. WIGGINS begs to notify that he has REMOVED from Fernside to the above address, where he will be prepared to receive YOUNG GENTLEMEN as Boarders or Day Scholars. References and Terms on application
Mr. C. L. Wiggins, so long and favourably known in Akaroa, has lately purchased a property at Sumner, which he has fitted up with all the requisites for a scholastic establishment. His leaving Fornside was taken as an opportunity by the residents of that district for testifying to him in a substantial manner, their appreciation of his many acts of kindness, and those social qualities which had gained their respect and esteem, by presenting him with a handsome black-marble eightday clock, bearing, on a silver plate, the following inscription:— "Presented to C. L. Wiggins, Esq., by the parishioners of the Fernside district." We wish him every success in his new school at Sumner.
