The Festival of the Young Ladies Sewing

on Wednesday evening. was very credible
affair. large number were in attendance, and
all appeared to enjoy the evening very happi-

ever got up on such an occasion, as all can tes-

on the part Of the Managers, portion Of those
present were not informed Of the time the Oys-
retired without enjoying that part of the Festi

sale was disposed Of. though too many Of them

The question is frequently asked Why don't

lished by " Barnes i Co. in New York, and OF
which Mr.. Whitney Smith of this village Is
Agent and after mature delibcratIon concluded
to adopt the r7o,t Of the series, for the sake Of
uniformity, with the express understanding
that the exchange could be made in the most
satisfactory manner 10 all concerned.
It was found however, after the exchange
had been partially made that this could not be
done. The promises and inducements held out
10 us in the beginning could not be complied
with, on the part of Mr.. Smith osrjng TO q
change in his instruction, as he atiirms and the
terms on which he nop feels himself authorized
to make the change d CEN a1jlSt to the pub
lie and contrary to what we had reason 10 ex-
pect in the beginning. We have therefore Civ
en- mp the hope Of securing 4 uniformity of
books in our public schools at present, choosing
rather to put up with the acknowledged eoH of a
multiplicity of suthors rather than be accessory
to i4justico to those whose interests are bound
TO protect
We regret that we have failed in our plans
in this respect and while we do not impIicats
Mr. Smith in the matter Gas he acted under in
struction from his enpIoyors) yet we would
suggest to those Immediately concerned, that IN
open, consistent course, would in the end be
