MAY DAY IN BELLEvUE.-The
ladies of Bellevue, and its vicini-
ty, under the leadership of Mrs.
M. T. Shropshire, the worthy
principal teacher of the school at
Bellevue Academy, gave the pub
iica splendid ovation on the list
day of May.
The ceremonial OF the browning
of the May Queen, was beautifully
performed, the young ladies ac-
quitting themselves with eclat.
Profs. Fry & Bro, added charms
to the occasion by discoursing
sweet music from the violin and
guitar.
A splendid dinner followed, of
which the large assembly partook
with a seeming relish.
At night a ball was given by
Profs. Fry & Bro, which without
doubt surpassed anything of the
kind that ever took place In our
village. The first hour of the ball
was given exclusively to the stu
dents of Professors Fry & Bro,
who have just finished a course OF
lessons in dancing. Their dancing
was beautiful, and those who look
ed on, were amply paid for their
hours exclusion from the floor.
We regret that we have not
room for a more extended notice
of this happy day, in which the
ladies forced us to forget, for the
time, the mourn full condition of
our country.

by fitting them for the important

united South should pursue. "The
