the most interesting episode to the chronic
dizziness of our town was the pleasant treat
given by Miss Kinser's school, on Thurs

was carried out with spirit, the parts being
sung, spoken, and acted in a manner which
reelected infinite credit on the young
Misses, and elected frequent applause from
the audience. The dramatis persona were

the drama shown on the accession with a
lustre that young professionals might we'll
envy.
After the May Queen was disposed of,
several tableaux were shown which lacked
