praises it. Eminent men everywhere en-
dorse it.

value it very highly"

THE SOCIABLE-The members of the
institute assembled in Munson's Hall,
Wednesday evening, for a sociable, and d
really enjoyable time was had. Besides
the Teachers present, there was a perfect
bevy of townfolk, young and old. The
earlier part of the evening was spent in
the interchange of friendly civilitics, and
discussing some fine Grccning apples, a
barrel of which had been provided for the
occasion, then came music and poetical
Rotations, after which all joined in a
grand promenade, and as the evening
wore away the more sober-spirited quietly
left the circle, and the others forming a
set, continued to enjoy themselves until a
late hour, tripping the light fantastic toe.
