THE EXHIBITION AT Sr. PErRR AND
ST.. PAuL's ColLEeE.-On Tuesday
evening, large concourse Of ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the Col
lepe to witness the entertainment.
which usually closes the school, for
vacation. Ample arrangements had
been made to accommodate about
two hundred persons, and there were
fully that many present. The ladies
were there, and their SMILES Of appro-
baton at the performances, were fully
,nerited. We were, we Must confess
taken aback by the ,t,usic-which
struck tip as sooti as The audience be-
came seated We had NO idea that
such q degree Of perfection could be
arrived at, in SO short a period of tine.
The young gentlemen have only had
their instruments few weeks, and
now, with the aid Of Messrs. Walters
and jolly they perform III manner
that would do credit to professors.
The entertainment opened with dia-
logues, which were carried on, as well
in the dead as the living languages.--
After this came the play---the stand
ard old drama Of "Tell," SO replete
with soul stirring passages and genuine
patriotism. The two principal char
acters, in the play, were sustained in a
very creditable manner. Tell" per
sonated BY Master Adolph Huguet,
was given in a bold fearless manner,
and with that ease and dignity Of man
ner, which is the life and spirit Of the
drama. Master G. D. Favrot as aGes-
Ter" was a mastery piece Of acting
He possesses rare talent for the stage,
upon which he would soon raise to
eminence after short application
There is only one difficulty for him
to overcome-a slight difficulty IN the
information Of his voice, which he could
with attention master.
We do not flatter Master F., when
we say that we have seen the charac-
ter of Gesler performed time and again,
these last twenty five years, and have
frequently seen much worse person
alton fit, by the professionals" If
the stage were more profitable cal
ling, we would advise Master F., to
turn his attention that way.
Our bright-eyed little friend, Master
Eugene Fowler, performed his part of
Albert, in a very praiseworthy man
ner. The future for Master Fowler, is
bright, with ennobling prospect. We
have not the names Of the minor char
acters in the play. Master Dumartre,
Verret, Grenaux, and others, all ae-
quilted themselves very creditably.-
The attention with which the audience
listened to the performance, is the best
evidence that it was fully appreciated.
We regret to learn this morning in
this connection, that the Institution is
about to loose the valuable services Of
Mr.. Mcclure, who will leave in a few
days, for England.
MA1sE.-The State Temperance
Convention, disregarding all political
affinities, resolved to make the support
Of the "Maine Liquor Law" the great
question at the next State election
Two of the candidates for Governor
have put themselves upon the TEN
perance platform, in support of the
law. The third candidate has thus
far successfully lodged The question.
