THE FEsTIyAL.- Undoub tedly the threat
ening aspect of the weather prevented
fuller attendance at the festival last evening,
but no amount of external dampness could
danpen the srdor and appetite Of those in
attendance, as the empty ireezers and
baskets will testify. The sssemblags was o
very select one. and accorded well with the
tasty appointments of the hall. The young
ladies who conducted the affair displayed
considerable talent in dlvining and prOvid-
ing for the tastes of all, aud won great
credit for their successful management. The
floral display was beautiful, and was highly
appreciated. The affair has placed the
acquisition of library for the school beyond
the contingency of doubt, and, although
the attendance was not 80 large, yetell were
very liberal with their stamps and the
gross receipts Of the evening were 1892 %
the expenses $i4 so; leaving clear net
profit Of 1852 u. The young ladies fee
that their success was due in q great meas
ure TO the kindly aid extended to them by
Messrs. Darts, who donated the use Of the
Hall; Mr.. Harper, who kindly furnished the
| gas Biehrs band, who were present to en-
| liven the occasion with their music; Mr.
WEIGH, whose assistance was very valuable
and to the ARGUS and Union Offices fortheir
