The Greedy Institute Exhibition,

The Greedy Institute at Cumberland Centre
is an impershable monument Of the liberality
public spirit and good sense of one of our own
citizens. Eliphalet Greedy. a native of Cum
berland. and at one time Mayor OF Portland.
by his will bequeathed to the town of his birth
$4,000 as permanent fund for the support Of
the higher kinds of education. One thousand
dollars for philosophical and scientific appara-
tus; five hundred dollars for library and six
Thousand for a school building. With due
foresight lest the penny wise and pound foolish
economy which is liable to seize upon even the
best of men should render his design ineffectu-
al, he left five hundred dollars to pay for the
services of competent architect to plan and
oversee the erection of the building. The pro-
visions of the will have been carried out and
the purposes of the donor accomplished in an
institution which affords not only to the child
rem of his native town but to those of the sur
rounding towns, advantages for education and
culture second only, if second at all, to those
afforded in the most favored cities OF the
State
Under the skiful control of Mr.. George M.
Seiders, who has been the principal for several
years. the Institute has progressed to the en-
tire satisfaction of all interested in its welfare.
The exhibition of last Friday night consisting
of declarations, readings and original compo-
stions, was very creditable, showing not only
careful training on the part of the teacher but
cooperation and effort on the part of the schol-
ars. So satisfactory were the performances of
all that the gentlemen who acted as committee
ON prizes had no little difficulty in satisfying
themselves as to the awards. Fred Il. Sweet
sir received the prize for defamation and Flora
Startling the prize for reading The prize for
excellence in composition was awarded to
George w. Lufkin, whose part on Education"
was well proportional and we'll written. The
committee were also very much pleased with
the composition of Miss Mary E. Osgood on
the 'Beaties of Nature" which had some fine
passages. 1t would be invidious to allude even
to the fine rendering of Sam Weller's valen-
tine; for all the readings and most of the dec
lamations were excellent
