The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-04-14

Master A. ]. Young, maintained a quiet. unas-
Stunning, yet rather dignifed attitude and manner
during the delivery OF his speech; but how The
last Man" felt on account Of his being the last we
did not learn, as we could not hear what was said
on the subject. Master Young was very well heard
year ago. We hope he will recover his voice
before the next exhibition.
Master Ashley in " The ne,c School Muster suc-
ceeded in making himself tolerably well heard,
but his two rebel boys, Horner and Dunning,
spoke too low and in the wrong direction. They
forgot that the audience were very DESTROYS of
hearing what they had to say when they so unex-
pectedly found themselves in the presence of their
new teacher.
Master Frank Hull, for boy of nine or ten years
old, did himself great credit in Pudding his oson
Canoe -
The Frenchman and the Ras = By Master L.
Corey, was distinctly spoken, but in too low key.
And here we would say that if the boys had Sc
lected something besides those old pieces, it
would have been far pleasanter to the audience
The Sisters BY Misses NJ. Hazelet and e. Bal
angee, was very prettiy done, but could not be
heard. Their singing was very sweet
Master F. Haight, indicated " The Po,cer of
Eoquenee' more in attitude and gesture than in
voice. er tses ass
Master c. Martin. . colored boy. did himself
credit in Hohenli,sdes," which, think, was the
best delivered piece of the evening.
Muster E. Day, in Marco Bozsaris," and L.
Corey, in his "parody" on the same, did them
selves credit both in attitude gesture and intona-
ton, and were well received.
N B. - The young masters and misses above
named, are from nine to fourteen years of age.
Perfection not expected in these first attempts.
They will, doubt, not only still continue to aim
high, but remember to pitch on a higher key when
they try again.
Anti-naatrimonial- by Miss Smith, was well
acted, well spoken, and well heard and called
forth the applause of the audience.
Some portions of al for Good Order" were
we'll executed.
Norel Reading = By Misses jenkins, Roice and
Wagner, was better acted than heard.
| The Negroes Complaint - By ii. Bowling, was
well done.
Deacon Homeopathy Horner Stocking and o.
b. Dunning. too hurried in incident, and too
rapid in delivery to De natural. 1t had the merit
of being pretty generally heard.
o. B. Dunning, did himself credit in an original
piece on progression We would recommend a
more natural tone of voice.
| w. Stocking, did himself equal credit in an
original :" Apostrophe to the old School House"
Misses Jewell and Roice, in colloquy on the
propriety of health for young ladies', correct
in position and in natural expression of counte-
nance. We would have given fifty cents to have
heard the words, but obliged to console our
selves in view of the adge, disappointment is the
common lot of mortals."
Masters C. Andrews, f. Day and II. Hills, did
themselves great credit by the spirited execution
of their several parts, at the " Gra6-toVH toscn
meeting"
The Organ Grinder-By Mr.. Adams was admit
rably executed.
TIE Music On the melodian by the Misses
Vandenhoof and Sullivan, and the singing by the
young ladies and gentlemen who took part in that
exer' Sc VS. very creditable.
This School exhibition will be remembered BY
those who witnessed it al least year. when, if We
live, We shall all hope to have better one. I'm
provement is the order of the age.
