School Exhibition.

Mr.. SHED closed the winter term of
his school by giving a public exhibit
tion to a crowded audience at the
M. E. Church, on Tuesday evening
last, which was very entertaining
affair. The exercises consisted of
ainging, reading, and defamation
THE confidence and ability which the
young boys and girls manifestedSin
their efforts at declaiming, reflected
much credit upon their studiouSneSO
and also of the labors of their teacher.
We are not aware that we ever before
witnessed so much precocity as was
exhibited BY the youth on this occa-
sion, The singing was excellent
We venture to say that the Prairie
City Choir is composed of as fine an
array OF musical talent as any other
oae in the Territory. Swe0ter sing
ers than the Misses GIvEoRDs we have
not heard since wc left the States,
and the melodious bass of Messrs.
Brooks and McALLIsrER and the mu-
steal tenor Of MeSsrs. DEERING and
SrupTEvANT, are not found in every
town. The audience were favored
with hymns, odes, gleeS, sentimental
and humorous songs. AT the close Of
the exhibition DR.. CANNlFF, Esq.
GRlFmTH, Mr. H. GIFFoRD and Father
Moon, made remarks appropriate for
the occasion, and at late hour the
audience dispersed, highly delighte d
with the evenin g's entertainment.

Gentlemen Of the jury--cahl you

a high depreciation in society. man
who you all on you suspect and Ss-
tsem for his many good qualities ;
yes, gentlemen, man who never
drinks more than does him good---say
quart a day-can you for an instant
suppose that this ere man would be
guilty of taking box of percussion
caps? Picture to yourself, gentle
man, an individual fast asleep in his
low cabin, with his innocent wife and
orphan children by his sidc~-all ma
turo hushed in deep repose, and nought
to be heard but the muttering of the
silent thunder and the noise of the
roaring winds; then imagine to your
selves an individual making his way
up the door like hyena. softly enter
ing the dwelling of the peaceful and
happy family, and in the most daS-
tardly manner, abstracting q whole
box of percushions? e. ,
Gentleman, l will not, I can not,
dwell upon such scene. My feel.
ings turn from such picture'of NOR
al turpentine | cannot for an in
stant harbor the idea that any man,
much less this ere man, could beguilty
of committing an act of such unex.
ampled discretion. And now, gentle
men, after this brief view of the case,
let me entreat Of you to make up your
minds candidly and unpartially, and
give us verdict as we might reason
ably suspect from such an enlight-
ened and intolerant body Of our fel-
Ter citizens--remembering that in
the late battle of Bunker Hill, it ia
better that ten innocent men escape,
rather than one guilty one should
suffer.
