! from the Herald, who was unable to re-
! SIS: the many pressing Invitations, and
! i: was well, for It was at enjoyable ocea-
sion, not only as regarded thc er..ain-
uent furnished by the pupils, but the
generous hospitality cS'.nded by the
people Of that regior. Of country-during
two nights @::.d days which We spent
among t...lcm--and also for the very abun.
F! r.ant and cxccllently well prepared bar.
becued meats and other good things, Of
which there was enough and to spare.
We never tasted meat better cooked, nor
hash that suited the mouth so we'll. We
know not who ruled the roast on this oc-
casion, but whoever they were they did
well.
But to 60 back, we left town Oh Thurs
day afternoon in the down train, in COM
pany with about half coach load Of
matured matrons, beautiful maidens and
tender infants, with clean faces, hair nice
ly curlcd, aud best bib and tucker OH
! the infants-and not man among them
all, but the Herald" ''paaucy our phe-
links" What if these charming crca-
lures had attempted to lay violent hands
on US for several past funny locals and
other derelictionS, or had made US nurse
all the babies at one time! What, We
trembled, and did not recover happy
frame of mind until Pomaria came in
vicw. All right then, we fcl: once more
the hero, "this roc!; Shall fec (?) from its
firm base as soon as VIC" They were
charming, did net mean US harm, bless
them, how could they ? ain, how. Well,
VIC found friends and vehicles awaiting
to convey the party to comfortable Quar-
ter<; the lioIIovay'S, Wcdcman'S, Su.
bcrS. Counts, Berley's, Cannons', Ri
Ser'S, Dickerl'S, Doincst$, Wlckcr'S. and
others, goablel up the interesting party
bag and baggage and away We went.
The next morning everybody who
wanted to, and every animal who did
not, were on the move at an early hour
for Bethel, for the Captains order was
to be there by eight Of the clock, as the
programme Of exercises was full and the
table and provisions extensive. Arriving,
DR.. B. took US to the post Of honor, an
impromptu stage, carpeted and hand
somely feStooned with wreaths and flow
crs, and over all the lowered motto, fan
cifuily made of bright hucd and vari-col
o-el lah!ias, "E Elucation is Power"
The pupils had already commenced their
interesting work, and to g;ve Al idea of
the ext>nt AMI variety of this part Of the
entertainment we insert the programm:
entire, and we can only add that We
never saw more confident yet modest
renditions Of the many parts, aud so per-
fcct!y memorlzcd by girls and boys be-
fore. Some Of those little people will
make mark in lifc's history if they live
and are properly taken care Of Take
them all together, parents and teachers
