school Exhibition i'm Pleasant Prairie

All those who witnessed the exhibition on
Saturday evening, given by the scholars of
school district No. L. in Pleasant Prairie, enjoyed
tleat, such as is seldom known 1t consisted
of declarations, both grave and comical, of
we'll selected dialogues, exercises in mental ar
ithmetic, and the reading Of the paper entitled
"Star of the West" edited by the scholars of
the school. It would be unjust to particularEe
when all did so we'll. Suffice it to say the ex-
ercises were of the most gratifying character,
and such as reflect great credit upon both teach
er and scholars. The reading of the paper was
particularly admired, as well, for the scholarly
manner of the performance, as its highly literary
character.
The Band belonging to the LIST Wis. Cavalry
were in attendance, and discoursed some of their
most soul-stirring music, - instrumental and vo-
cal, which added very much to the entertainment.
All thanks are due them for their gratuitous as
sistance. Should their music have the same
happy influence over the inhabitants of 'Seces-
STA" where, we understand, they are about to
go, they may rest assured they will have done
good service in the cause of their country
After the close Of the exercises, the following
resolutions were read and adopted:
Resolaed That we as school and as COM
m unity, tender a vote of thanks to the Band for
their attendance and assistance in the exercises
of the evening.
ReS0loed, That we tender cur sincere thanks
to Mr. Bowker for his untiring and successful
efforts in behalf of the advancement Of our chill
dren and in the cause of education generally.
