and Whitman, who. at various, times
favored the audience with songs, sung

We were sorry to hear that the
'Charge Of the Light Brigade" had
been assigned to one of the young
scholar, as it is piece most difficult to
be correctly and effectively read or
spoken. Still, S. II. Lille did as well
as could have been expected, aud in

The "song Of the Birds" was sung
by Miss Mamie Abell with a distinct
ness remarkable in one Of her age. A
"Lecture on ~Phrenology," by j.
Wright, was a5capi'al thing and brought
down the house. AS a take off to the
humbugggefy Of Prof P6wers:it could
be especially appreciated by this COM

clearly some verses "to the robin"
Master Henry Bennett gave an amusing
aceoNnt Of the trials incidents to a
boys life and the uuappreciating na

-. An original come ]y, in three scenes,
representing a "Alinncsota Schoolma m"
was received with much applause, and
lost none Of its. effects from the second
scene being the representation of an
actual fact, 1t might we'll serve a;
lesson. The different performers car
ried out their parts admirably especial
ly Misses Mamie Owen, Amy Kinkcad,
Jennie Mitchell;j and Linton Noel and
John Inman. "Grafted into the Ar
my" was sung by the three gentlemen
before mentioned, the chourus being
especially fine. A laughablc piece,
1.-The Bachelors Dream" was spoken by
d. II. Freeman, and;a fccitat!tn "tThe
Soldiers Burial" by Miss Les!:ica 4.
Freeman, was very good. WRAP the

the trio Of gent tlcmcn. ,.:.
Ar original drama, 's'tndiau War,
or Dangers of Frontier Ilifc," in six
scenes, came next This was to!crably
we'll performed, considering the ages Of
many of those who were required to
act parts of a tragic nature. 1t repre-
sehted scenesto recent to fail to call
up painful feelings on the mind of
many who was present. The first:
scene. however, was excellent, especial:
ly the parting 'bervesn The ''poootr old:
and his son, who. was about toj
start for the West. Master Linton
Noel made a, capital old man both in
tone and appearance, and the size only
served to make the representation more
striking. Sammy Lille, John Inman,
D. H. Freeman and the Messrs Wright
did fusiy 'as we'll as could have been
exp, cted, es did also Misses Martha
Wright, Levfsia Freeman, Mamie and
Jennie Owen: tas n. Norris also sup
ported quite difficult IL 'Patt. =, :. ...".,
,.s, A comic song, Corporal Schnapps,"
was followed by tho valedictory, pro-
nounced by Miss Jennie G.. Mitchell.
Taken as a whole the exhibition was
very good, and crsditable both to
the performers and teacher, by whom
it was managed. .... .
