.Th. Fes.,val OF the Rose.-

We are pleased to learn that, by urgent request,
tho Festival of the Rose will be repeated on Monday
evening, MAY 18th, for the same charitable purpose

A friend who wiines Led and admired the celebra.
ton on Monday last, hal promised notice OF it,

one ourselves upon bearsay. Other engagements, We

The Celebration.
The celebration of the May Festival, under the
superintendence of Mrs. Gus hing, al Military Hall,
on Monday night, was decidedly the affair OF the
season." Various ceremonies were gone through with
in q most precise and orderly manner, and we were
surprised to learn that Mrs. c. had these pupils un-
der charge for only two three weeks; for their
performances would warrant the belief that they had
been under discipline training for many months.
We feel entirely incompetent to do justice 10 this ex
uusIte exhibition of childhood and youth, in floral
beauty and their various evolutions of playful pa
rade and ceremony. There were addresses made by
several lads, whose performances caused plausible
sensations in the audience These lads exhibited
no boldness or efrontery, but sef-possession and
poleness of manner, devoid of all stiffness, and mod
esty without abashment. that were truly charming.
| The Hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity, by
an intelligent auditory, OF both sexes and all ages
There were many CHILDREN" gay fifteen and healthy
ffly"- and some even older than the latter figure.
At any rate such was our impression.
2he whole affair showed much taste, tact and tall
ent on the part of the lnstrucress, who must have
accom- plished the result by patient and perseverng
efforts, under the influence of erfect knowledge of
the means that engage the afectionae obedience OF
childhood, and invite and lnce the best emotions in
the hearts of these " little people,"
1t has been stated that the proceeds of the exhibit
ton are 10 be appropriated to benevolent purposes.
We DO not know for what particular charity they
designed, but the matter is in very good hands

B9rWe return our thanks 10 the Committee of the

courteous invita- ion to attend the Celebration OF the

a splendid one, for the Lafayettes are just the men
to make it so. But we can't have everything our

~ THE RIVER is falling slowly ut this
point, and above. On Friday last, at Nash
Vile, the Cumberland was still rising, with
water sufficient in the channel for all business
purposes. The weather yesterday was very

~ The Cincinnati Commercial says that
in race between the Golden Era and the

Stewart, of the Messenger, shot twice at the

was ahead, and resorted to the manoetyer Of
crossing the bows of the Golden Era, until the
wheel of the former got caught in the guards
of the Golden Era, demolishing them, and
smashing the wheel of the Messenger. This
was the cause of the shooting. If these are
the facts in the case, Captain Stewards con-
duct would seem to be unjustifable and
reckless.
