Kennper Hall,


The Teachers ofthis admirable institution held a
reception one evening last week, at which quite a
number of the friends and patrons were present.
The wonder with us is, that this seminary for the
education OF girls is not filled to it utmost capacity
such perfect elysum it's in regard to location,
and so snug and homelike in all its appointments
We are certain that the thousands OF parents VINO
send out their daughters to boarding schools cannot
be aware OF the advantages offered here, or Kemper
Hall would not be anguishing for want ofpatronage.
The CORDS Of Teachers az now constituted could
hardly be improved upon. Miss Britain, the princi-
pal seems to be admirably qualified to be at the head
Of such school, while the other teachers by their
devotion TO the interests OF their pupils secure the
respect and love ofall.
But to return to the reception. The fore part Of
the evening was devoted to music. The guests were
treated to some excellent piano music by the pupils
under the direction OF Mrs De La Cuesta the teacher
Of this branch oflearning. But the most en- joyable
portion of the evenings entertainment was quite
programme Of vocal music with piano accompani-
ment 1t is safe to say that the singing of number
of the young ladies and misses was better than we
are in the habit OF hearing from school girls. 1t
may be that the pupils there are all natural singers
but they certainly exhibit marks OF thorough cu
ture. Miss Ida Runas, has voice and an ear for
music, but under the training received here, she
has become rare cantatrce, rendering some of
the highest compositions OF the masters with great
eclat. Among others who delighted us with songs
Miss Jennie Head, Miss Lille, Robbie Clark,
Miss Kelly, Miss Ashley, and others whose names
we did not learn.
After partaXing of refreshments, and after the
younger portions of the company had enjoyed a
short hop, the company broke up, highly pleased
with the enjoyment of the occasion, and more than
ever convinced that we have an institution in our
midst that is worthy of our highest regard and wor
thy the support of the whole northwest as Church
School, as we'll as of the people of Kenosha.

Our STATE LEGIsLATURE.-This body seems
to be making but slight Roadway for week or
two past. The main idea seems to be how to
kill time. Hundreds of private and local bllls
are every day introduced and acted upon, ex-
pressly against the statute in such case maze
and provided. A few days since, the members
voted themselves $50 in stamps, each, the reg
ular hebdomadal allowance of SO worth being
found entirely inadequate to their epistolatory
demands The next operation was to pass
resolution to pay themselves their per diem in
gold. The sober second thought, however, IN
duced reconsideration and the resolution
was laid on the table for another days work.
The assembly has done one good thing in pass
ing bill prohibiting any further Railroadcon-
solidation ofparalell lines. The Senate passed
resolution to extend the time for the recep-
ton of new business, but the Assembly reject
ed it. The Senate is now engaged on bill to
remove the Capital to Milwaukee!

l. 0. G. T.; held Feb. 10, 1867, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted

mighty Ruler, who doeth all things well, to
remove from US our much loved brother r. H.

which has so long existed between the de

u meet and proper that we should record our
hlgh appreciation of his merits, not only as a
member OF this Order, but as a christian and
lalthlul laborer in the cause of right, and the
moral ana social Improvement of his fellow
men, Therefore,
Re$oiUed, That in the decease of Bro. DEM
ing, the Good Templars Lodge has lost a val
liable and consistent member, and the com
m1nlty at large true and noble friend.

happy combination of mental and moral oual-
tiles, which gave him high position as a Good
Templar and in all the relations he sustained
to community won for him the entire conf
dence and highest regard of all.
ReS0lUed, That while we bow in submission
to this affective stroke of an All Wise Proyi-
dence, we realize the loss the cause oftemper-
ance has sustained in the death of one of its
advocates and as a Lodge deeply mourn the
loss of our brother, and that we will ever cher.
ish his memory, recall his virtue, and strive to
initiate his christian character.

hour of bereavement and sorrow.
