SCHOOL ExHIBITIoN.-The school ex-
hibition on Friday evening last, was
very well attended, and everything
passed off in the most happy manner.
The pieces were well committed, and
in most cases the delivery could not
have been bettercd. We were not
able to attend the examinations of the
school during the week, but if the
scholars exhibited as much proficiency
in the other departments as they did in
this, it shows that both teachers and
scholars have done their best; and we
are satisfied that our school will fayora-
bly, compare with any school in the State
of the same advantages.
The only thing about the exhibition
that struck us at all unfavorably was
the length of the programme. Aside
from this We were highly pleased with
the entire entertainment, and can say
to those who remained away that they
lost rich treat. We should be pleased
to notice the different pieces, but not
having been favored with programme,
and being unacquainted with the child
ren's names, we are unable to do so,
but among those that we did notice as
deserving particular mention, was
"Welcomc TO Lafayette" by young
Rice; the address" delivered by
young Hills; "Vacation" by young
Master and Miss whose names escaped
us; and "Stonewall Jackson's ride
through Fredericksburg" by Miss. Ida
HOLSTER. We were also highly
pleased with the musical part of the
entertainment. The singing was really
very fine, and elected the most unbound
ed appreciation from the audience. Both
scholars and teachers deserve the great
est credit for the proficiency attained in
this department. AS a whole the ey-
hibition was decided success.

This valuable medicine is now offered to the
American Ladies as the only sure positive, AVID
never-failing cure and regulator of suppression OF
nature, from whatever cause. Particular care
should be used to know that Pregnancy is not the
cause, as the Drops would surely produce an effect
entirely contrary to the course of nature fol which
will not hold myself responsible. l have in my
possession letters from the most respectable ladies
of this place, recommending it in the highest
terms, and Physicians advising its use when all
other remedies fail. These drops are so mild and
pleasant, that the feebles cantake them with per-
feet security yet powerful in their effects; that
they may be safely called never-failing Regala-
tor. have used this medicine for the lasttwelve

WooD.-We would respectfully
recommend to the Board Of Trustees
that they pass an ordinance at their
next meeting, requiring parties to
znoasure their wood when they sell it.
Az the case now stands some OF the
xrossest frauds have been perpetra-
ted on those who have their wood to
buy, by sharpers who load it ON so as
to make 2 big show out of very little
pile. 1t must be taken into considera-
alton too, that many who buy wood
are poor and can i'll afford to pay at
the rate of S. cerd, and then get
cheated on measurement. We trus,
the Board will take this matter into
sideration.
