We had the pleasure on Tuesday night las, of witnessing m exhibition. by the pupils of Isaac N. Steveas, at Mound Church, in the Lefeyre settlement. The entertainment was gotten up with the very best taste, and the performance in. terspersed with instrumental and vocal music, was remarkably given. The pupils displayed degree of proficiency ln meurorising, and perfection in delivery. that reflects the higest credi. upon the industry and abilities of the teacher. In short we were hgkIy pleased and entertained by the variety and spirit of the whole performance. Mir Stevens is deservedy great favosite with ks patrons, and is entitled justly to the commeAdation of all. for his earnest efforts in the great cause of education
