FITS! WHY PROMINENT.

For long time there was a paragraph
making its regular weekly appearance in
our columns, with the brief, but emphatic
words { Fits! Fits" always at the head, to
some an offensive caption, but not so to the
benevolent and humane, who do not sympa-
thize in the sorrows of others. Some per-
sons are shocked al the indication of dis
ease. and are even thrown into nervous ex-
citement on witnessing a hearse or a coffin.
Such are to be pitied. We should always
strive to look disease and even deuth in the
face with calmness, and especially take ev-
ery opportunity fol alleviating disease
Vie we'd in this light, the advertisement of
s s. Hance, of lOS Baltimore-street Bal.
timore, Md, possess a certain interest, and
those who know of any one suffering from
Epilepsy, Spasms, or fits Of any kind, should
feel it q pleasure to cut out his advertise
ment, or in some other way send word to
the afflicted of the great value of his RENE
dies. They can be sent to any part OF the
country BY mail. Price, SO per box. Two'

The School Exhibition.

The School Exhibition, which took
place at the Court House on the eve
ming of the Sth, was one Of the best,
all things considered, which we ever
had the pleasure of attending. Not
withstanding that it was the first of
the kind given in this place " within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant,"
and the fact that but few of the schol-
Rrs had evcr participated in, or even
witnessed similar performances, every
thing went off in ahighly satisfactory
manner to the crowd Of spectatorS who
filed to OVERLOOKING the large Court
room. The speeches and dialogues
were well learned, and while many
of the former were spoken with a dis
tinctnesS OF voice and an appropriate
ness of gesture that would have done
credit to more practiced speakers, the
latter were acted with a spirit and in
q style that would by no means have
disgraced the boards of theater. The
young orators, actors and actresses
were greeted with well merited rounds
Of applause by the delighted audience.
The little girls acquitted themselves
creditably in singing their simple
songs, while those of" larger growth "
gave evidence Orwell cultivated minds
in several very good essays.
We did not notice that embarrass-
ment which is common to nearly all
young persons upon coming for the
first time before a public a%udience.--
In fact, many OF the scholars spoke
aud acted with an ease and grace that
was truly astonishing, leadingpersons
unacquainted with the facts to sup
pose that they were old Stagers."
Both teachers and scholars deserve
praise for the excellent entertainment,
and it is hoped that its entire success
will serve to encourage similar efforts
in the future. We would mention the
names ofthose who did the best, in our
opinion, but where all have done well
It might be considered inyidious to
select afew.
