HEARTH AND HOME is the title of a
weekly paper designed especially for the
family. 1t has something wise, good and
interesting for every member of the fami-
ly, whether male or female old or young.
1t is copiously illustrated, has been be-
fore the public just two years and has been
oute a success. 1t has recently been pur-
chased by Orange Judd & Co.. who in
tend to make it the best and most inter-
estiug family paper in the nation. From
their unparalleled success with the "Ag-
ric~ulturist," by far the best and most wide
" circulated Agricultural paper in the
world-we AVE no doubt of their sue
cess in this. They have all the facilities
and means for making it all they propose.
On the first of january 1871, the paper is

The Festival.


The teachers and pupils of the Female
School made quite a success of their en-
tertainment on the evening of the 9th
ult. Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er the hall was crowded. The pupils per-
formed their parts well, and in fact every
thing passed off pleasantly. We believe
tie patrons of the school went home per-
fectIy gratified at the manner in which the
little folks acquitted themselves. 1t GER
t,inly must have required much labor on
the part of the teachers, and 40 little apt
ress on the part of the pupils to have made
such preparations. When we consider
that more than one hundred took part in
the exercise, we feel like extending to all
bur hearty congratulation for their success.
There has been nothing for a long time so
we'd calculated to bring the schools of the
Gown prominently before the citizens.
Prof.. Dillworth, who knows so well how
people enjoy good music, gave the audi
ence some excellent songs. with which all
seemed greatly delighted, and the small
pupils gave evidence of the advantage to
be derived from the teaching of vocal mu-
sic ID the schools.
Prof. Presnel1 stated publicly, at the
tilose of the exercise, hat it was owing to
the Efforts of the female teachers and
young ladies of the school that the enter
~faiE11ent had succeeded so admirably.
Pfof. p. is a live man, and when he de-
ternjnes to do anything he never fails. A
better teacher and one more enthusiastic
nbot& education, cannot be found in this
country.
