0J'The Tournament last evening WAS brils
liant affair throughout; The fencing, combats,
music-eTery thing, passed off to the satisfac,
faction Of the large audience in attendance. 1t
strikes us that these Tournaments are among
he most interesting exhibitions that could be
at the present time given our citizens. The
gentlemen connected with the Tournament
waived their right to contend for the prizes, and
yielde them for the competion Of the youthful
fencers. LIST Prize was awarded to Master W
Howard I'd, to Charles CIegg Sd, to Joseph
Hughes 4th, to Master jackson. The Commit.
tee were unable to decide between Master
Schenck and Phillips, aud wAs awarded to them
"in common" The participants the 5th old and
young, acquitted themselves well and gallantly,
and gave their auditors great pleasure. We
hope that entertainments Of this kind will be
occasionally given by those who have so well
acquired the use of arms. 1t will have the
effect of introducing pleasant change in the
list of amusements with which we are familiar.
While we are in this connection we would

Interesting Occasion

We spent very pleasant afternoon, a few
days since, attending the closing exercises of
District School, No 10, of Harrison town
ship, Montgomery CO, o. The Primary
School was admitted into the upper room.
and the exercises conducted by the PRINCIPAL
teacher, Miss Hattie Lentz. The problems
solved on the ck-board, and that large
class of good spoilers, showed certainly that
the teacher was worthy of having been put
in charge of SO many of the youth of our land
where her influence could be 80 potently
felt. We think Miss l.. on that occasion, did
honor TO herself, much honor to those who
reared her, and lasting honor to her sex as a
Teacher.
At the close Of the school Miss Lentz was
presented with u beautiful Bible, with her
name elegantly stamped in gold on the side
OF 1t, as a token OF love and esteem from her
scholars, 1t had been purchased without
her knowledge, and Elder McCullongh was
the honored instrument in presenting it
II took Miss Hattie so by surprise, that it
seemed to wake up all the deep emotions of
her soul and she poured out the gratitude
OF her heart, in such tender and lorcihle ex
pressions, us to draw tears from almost ey-
cry eye. As we passed over the threshold
OF that quiet school room, out into the busy
world, we surely felt it had been an inter,
esting and profitable occasion to us- Gospel

A NKw PApER.-We have received the
first number Of new weekly paper entitled
"The Peoples Press" published by j. Birney
Marshall, at Columbus, o. The Press" is a
large paper, and makes fine appearance, 1t
is democratic in politics, and is, we gather from
the salutatory of the editor, to be mainly devo.
ted to the elevation Of Stephen A. Douglas TO
the Presidency. We are pleased to note that
while Mr.. Douglas is the first choice of the

claims Of other Statesmen prominen tly named
for the same position. THIS is well. Mr..
Marshall is a ready writer, and as he presents
a large and interesting sheet tits probable he
will be successful.
