and other lads, many OF W hom have made rapid
progress in their studies and bid fair to become
useful and valuable artizans AT the close of me
school, which will take place IN the course Of Il

! rendition. Secure your tickets to-day ii
you wish the best seats.

! and graveiled, and the grass and shrubbery
| have put forth their blades and blossoms, it
will be the most i'll iting park TO be found any
