Yesterday afternoon, and the third and
last yesterday evening-the Town Hall
on each occasion being filled. The con-
duct of the school children, their willing
obedience to teachers and apparent kind
ness to each other, their progress in edu-
cation and other useful matters, satisfied
all that this institution is worthy of the
munifcent donation from the State and
railroad company to those made orphans

spoke well, but public opinion almost
without exception seemed to point out
Master Jacobs as the orator. The Drum
Corps was also much admired, and Capt.
Fry and his cadets were universal favor
ties. The proceeds of the exhibitions are
to be devoted to the education of such
orphans from this county as desire to re-
main at school after their legal term eX-
pires.
