ES-We attended the exercises at the High
School rooms on Friday last, and were high
ly gratfied with the singing, declamations,
&c. Quite a respectable number of ladies
and gentlemen were present, and all appear
ed to enjoy the entertainment. Among those
present we should not fail to mention our es-
teemed friend F. w. henderson, the able Su
!perintendert of the Watervile Schools and
President of the Lucas county Board of
School examiners. 1t is proper to state that
no extra efforts were made for display on this
occasion, the exercises being merely such as
are customary on Friday afternoons. Prior
to the close of the School, Mr.. Wells, the
able superintendent, was taken BY surprise
by his pupils. who, through Master Wilkin-
son, presented him with magnificent copy
of the Bible and an elegant bone pocket
memorandum. The remarks on both sides
were entirely appropriate and feelingly utter
ed.
We understand that the students under the
care of Mr.. Etter presented him with an ap-
proprste token of their regard during the
forenoon exercises.
The vacation will last FIVE weeks.

On the fourth of July, at celebration in
South Carolina, boy twelve years old made
a speech, from which we extract the follow
ing
"I would like to know if Chas. Sumner,
of Massachusetts, has a son Of my age (l2
years,) If he has, I'm the boy that can
whip him as easy as Preston s. Brooks did
his daddy"
The daddy" Of that boy, if the moth
ei knows who he is, has great reason to be
proud Of his promising son-it is so nice to
have good fighting. cock, dog and boy They
raise that kind in South Carolina, and it is
hard to tell which is the greater animal.
F Herbert, the murderer of Heating, has
had his tlial and been acquitted. So the dem
ocratic administration considers it no crime to
shoot an Irishman. Who wonders that the
Irish are democrats? They love the hand
that smites them. We venture the assertion
that you will find Irish printers in all the
Know Nothing printing Offices in America.
The reason they don't like the Republicans is
because they don't kick them every time they
meet them on the streets

1T Friend Brown, of the Teledo CONNER
cidl, defends the Fillmore meeting with all
the zeal and much more ability than his
neighbor of the Times. Now Brown is a
VIGOROUSLY clever fellow, and never was
known to look upon fallen man without
offering his generous hand to kelp him up,
and we don't wonder at his solicitude for
Fillmore and Buchanan. These twin-broLh-
ers are fat on their backs, and Brown is not
the man to refuse to assist in turning them
over for temporary relief. We fully appre-
cate your kindness, friend Brown, but really
we cannot play the part Of the good Samari-
