/ The Exhibition at Franklin Hall, on the evening
of the 18th instant was OF a rich and intellectual
character to which all who were present could, and
would trathfully testify. The opening address. by
Master D. Williams, was beautiful piece of ora
tory. The speakers intonation marks in him a
talent which, if assisted by the advantages of an
education, will fl him for the highest honors of the
{ Bar. The eight Tableaux were gotten up in a
style which characterized the superior ability and
taste of our 4 gifted little School Marm. Itwould
require one Of more graphically descriptive powers
than myself to enter, with justice, into detailed
description of the many beauties embraced within
the different pieces offered for the entertainment

strongly illustrated the difference between pleas

idea of taking medicine to correct mistakes. The

words she would have spoken" Coward, go meet

E. Morrison and Miss Z. Fearne. The '' Lovers

soon vanish, as snow before melting sun

row? Does her little heart feel its first throe OF
anguish at the sight of death? Is there no hope

We could not long muse before feeling that true
sorrow dweit in her tender heart. % Crandlather's

created much laughter. Renzi to the Romans
spoken by Master D. Wilson, was a master piece of
oratory and held the audien ce chained in silence
during the recital. The Best Cosmetics" spoken
by Master james Nesbt, and the " Destruction of
Sennacherib,' by Master L. Cannon, were choice
pieces well delivered. Is it any bodys business,
by Miss N. Wilson, reflected much credit upon the
young lady speaker. For Dialogues, there were
