The Festival given on Thursday

Hlkes Church. St Adams, was n graf
Ming occasion to those who attended
it The hall was well filed with la
d. and gentlemen and happy chill
dren, who all seemed to enjoy the
many good things which were provided
ID abundance. Aside from the excel
lent cold meats, hot coffee and Other
epbstanual proofs Of the skill of the
ladies, fhere were delicious strawber-

-One of the marked defects il
Aeademy Hall is, the want of mean,
~ speedy and thorough ventilation
Pc heat in that hall during the sum
Ter months when it is full is wei
Rgh insufferable and the evil effects
q the vltiated air of crowded as
moly can hardly be overstated. l
- rec or four large ventilators in tn
cnilnS which could be SO adjusted a
open and close readily were put in
@ey would be welcome improvement

AZ presume, at moderate expense, am,
lthout danger to the looks of th
