Friend Sholes, you may not b. an advocate of
School Exhibitions but as you are one Of the pro-
gressive order think no better treat could be Of
fered You than quiet scat in front Of stage no-
cnpied by Ms Ieonsru anu ner pupIs, as on FIJI
day evening. Although our small school hoase was
filed to overlooking, more than half being de-
prived Of seats. not one felt willing to retire unit
the last farewell song of friendship had ceased its
vibrations; aud even then volunteer song was
called, and nicely executed by Mrs. s. A. Tower,
an excellent teacher in vocal and Instrumental mu-
sic, after which the audience quietly retired. The
exercises Of the evening commenced with an orr.
ginal essay on education, by u. ID. Fellows, which
for cearness Of thought aud perspicuty Of style,
reflected much credit on its author. Then came
deaam atoms, and compositions by the young aides
that induced us to believe there is many Fern
tree yet to blossom that will dffIse its rich fra
GRANGE, over the vast circumference of our globe.

songs have only to say they all performed their
parts admirably, both to the credit of themselves
and teachers .@s~ -f ,....-., ..st ....,i. .,....
Now, friend Shoes, / have not penncd the above
thinking school exhibition phenomenon. Bot
rather TO e, you know, FIVE do live out in the coun-
try We do not mean to be idle spectators merely
and allow you town folks to enjoy all the loaves
and fishes when there are laureIs TO be won at
home. 80. 49,. 1880, ',-.,.-

lecture said house when done, if you will accept
the invitation What say you7 Aye--ED.l /
