the monthly reception day" which the accom-

special time for the entertainment Of parents ani via
itors and invites social intercourse with advanced
literary ard musical exercises. On the las, occ lslon
these exercises consisted OF music, reading compost
tons, reading, history, arithmetic, &c. Among the
most noticeable Of the musical performances were the
song q" Do they miss ne at homel" sung by one Of
the pupils TO her own accompaniment on the piano,
and the closing duet "Sweetly signs the Breeze,
by two misses-all Of which we're highly credAble to
themselves and their &c ichers. At the close Of the
exercises, brief addresses were made, and the au-
dienoe dispersed highly gratifed with the condition
and character of the schools. Numerous drawings
and other specimens of the work of the pupils were

~The quiet Of our city was dis
turbed last Saturday evening by the
unexpected arrival of band Of music
from parts unknown. II wasin well
got up music wagon. and drawn by
good horses. and as it came down the
street there was equal admiration and
wonder. The music was good--much
better than that which had accompa.

good judges said. But when il came
opposite. lol II turned cut to be Gard

trying their new wagon, which they
had just received, and in which they
expect TO attend not few celebrations
this summer. il the lovers Of good mu.
sic will be liberal enough to help them
pay for the wegon. and their insiru-
ments, and their time.
We were not q little amused at the
effect that the discovery that il was
not "show band" had on some peo-
pie. While We were the better pleased
to discover that it was our own. some
said "humphl it is only the Brookyille

gest that every mothers son of them

MARKETS.

The aour market remains quiet. Prl-
ees are nominalIy Ito to 500. for good
brands. Holders IRE firm. and receipts
are very light. In provisions but little
is doing aud prices are little lower.
Sugar is more active, and commands q
little higher price than heretofore. In
molasses there Is no change. Good Rio
COTE commands from IL to IL cents
receipts Of cheese are very small. One
hundred boxes cold to day at 81. But.
ter s coming In more freely, and prices
are little lower. Eggs have declined
and now bring only 81.
Since the above was writ en-, the At.

vices Of a decline in the price OF flour
which has tendency to check spscula-
