BALLvILLE SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

eye Hall, on Friday evening, 10th inst.--
The attendance was. large, and everything
seemed TO promise a pleasant time and o
fine entertainment. There was nothing tc
mar the whole exhibition, but row gotten
up by few young men Two beg their par
don for thus giving them m honorable ap
pelative,) who were acting under the in
fluence of spirits, rather than their goot
breediug we pcrsumc. The performance
had but commenced when the audience were
startled with the cry: "Form ring Form
a ringp and the next instant there was
general fisticuff and Stree fight" 1t was {
disgrace to the young men themselves, al
insult to the audience and performers, ant

relatives and friends of the young pugilist.

his behavior al home. Every ono says,
shame on their conduct.
But we had set out, briefly, to notice a
few of the characters of the exhibition
The "Openiug Address," by D. McINrosH,
was well spoken and well received. Song,
"What Delight, what Joy Rebounds" was
| finely rendered, and elected for the singers
a wcll-deservcd applause. "Students Song"
Farmers Home" and "Wo'll Ever Sing of
our Fatherland," were not so we'll executed
as the first song, and were sadly marred in
harmony by lamentable discord. 1t was
wonder that some of the parts were so
well sustained and admirably executed,
owing to this annoying defect Still the
singing was by far the most pleasing and
entertaining of the evenings exhibition and
we are sure this is the united opinion of the
auditors. "Young America" by CHARLEY
MOORE, was first rate, and we predict for
( CHARLEY bright career, if he only persc-
yeres. "Subject of Exhibition Day. was
not good, and in bad taste, and it was an
error in Mr.. UNDERHrLL that he did not suf-
| ticiently discriminate to have had the char
acters reuersed. If that had been done, it
would have been much better received
"Saior Boys Dream" by HENRY CowDrN,
was well delivered In fact all his efforts
were good, for first trial. A fine voice,
good appearance, and easy in manners, were
fine aids to his speaking, and yet he made
but an Indifferent impression on the audi
encc, by striding backwards and forwards,
continually, on the stage while delivering
his speeches. In future, when delincating
n characters in domestic relations, we would
advise Mr.. G. to be moro affectonate, even
to Kissing, as an omission in filial relations
not only displease the ladies sustaining their
character, but also sadly dcteriorates from
the intrinsic excellence of tho piece ITSELF
The omission offlial respect in "Thrce Eras
in Farmers life" rendered the piece obnox-
ious TO all who saw it thus disiointed. The
devoted and affectionate sister, Ellen, Miss
PHEBE GLAss,) should have been rewarded
by some more precious token of respect
at parting from her loving brother than q
mere nod of the head. Her acting was
truthful and natural. These are no trihino
omissions, and we have thought them worth
see improve, and to do this taAts must be
overcome before they become habiiual.-
, "Bad Luck" by JoHN MOORE and ISAAC
, NIoH, was excellently spoken, considering
the age of the boys. Isaac is smart lad
and bound to make "shinng light" somc
day. "The Canvasser," by j. B. WILSON
, MARIA FoUGHT, CLARA WILLIAMS and HEN
J RY DANFoRTH, elected unbounded applause
and laughter, and if all periodicals had sucf
agents abroad as the "Ballvlle Juvenile
) they would certainly be apt to flourish
"Tableau of Young America" was descrv
edly "hissed." Itwas lame representation
and not in taste. "Prologue to Tableau,
by CHARLEY MooRE, was quite crcditable
"The Fractions Man." by H. DANFoRTH
; and ELIAS MooRE, was "severialy frag
t mented," and did not create much renow
for the personators, as it was absurdly dc
lineatcd. "Tablcau of Washington's Dream
of Liberty" was finely represented, and pro
duced a very pleasing effect. prologue t
: Tableau," by LUTHER HATCH, was Delivers
with credit TO the little speaker. "Closin
, Address" by D. McINrosH, was goo
composition, and well spoken. The youn
! ladies who were connected with the exhib
\ ton, will pardon US, we presume, for nc
