Address ny HON. JOHN T. SMITH.
The pupils of the several schools acquitted
themselves in an excellent manner, and evinc-
ed that their teachers exercised great care in
their instruction. To say that the parents
and friends we're delighted with the proficiency
exhibited By the children, conveys in small
degreeth the satisfaction expressedb by the rounds
of applause. From the youngest to the old.
est, thechildren showed that the care bestowed
by their teachers had resulted in producing
marked effect The singing by the little girls,
some not over 5 or years Of age, was greeted
by shouts of laughter and clapping Of hands.
We dislike TO discriminate, but think that
" Notices aud Offerings, Spirits of the
Beautiful and ''Flora's Birth Day were
decidedly the best pieces. Hon. John +.
Smiths address was couched in beautiful Ian.
guage, and he appealed TO the children TO
make the best use Of their advantages; he also
spoke to the parents, friends and teachers,
and urged upon them the great necessity os
education.
Prof, Newell aud the School Board ex.
pressed themselves in the warmest terms, and
also complimented the teachers on the great
success achieved. The Amphions furnished
the music gratuitously, AS did also the Odd
Fellows the use of the hall. We would be
pleased TO see saeh exhibitions oitener.

day School, which was celebrated in the NJ.
p. Church of this place, on Sunday evening
last, May Sd, was interesting in every partic
ular, and was also decided success The
sweet singing by the school was led by Mr.,
i. ii. Lewis, and accompanied by Miss En-.
ma Yingling ON the organ. The exercises
consisted of singing by the school, prayer by
Rev. DR.. Ward, addresses by Rev. Mr.. Cush
ing and Mr., I. II. Lewis and an election Of
officers for the coming year, Of the School,
and the Sunday School Association connected
Herewith. After several beautiful choruses
by the School, the orator of the evening, Mr..
I. Ii. Lewis was introduced. Mr.. Lewis dis.
coursed for some time upon the subject of
Sunday Schools, in an eloquent manner which
held the attention Of his large audience thro'
out. The election of officers and reading of
the list Of members by Mr.. Frank Herr, fol.
lowed the address, after which an opportunity
was given to persons in the congregation to
connect themselves with the Association.
Rev. Mr.. Gushing, pastor of the Church, then
made few remarks, after which the school
sang several other beautiful selections, which
with all due credit to Miss Emma Yingling,
organist, and Mr.. Lewis, leader Of the school,
they sang in an attractive manner, keeping
perfect time and singingin unison throughout.
The congregation were then dismissed with a
benediction by Rev. DR.. Ward, President of
the Western Maryland College. The Sunday
School seems to be in aourishing condition,
and the NJ. p. Church may well be satisfied
with the proofs of the success of their labors,
as manifested at their 2ith anniversary OF.

The following curious advertisement
is clipped from the Hartford Courant,
dated September 9, 1776:
"Whereas, Abigail Butler, the wife
Of me the subscriber, eloped from my
bed and board the 26th of August. l776.
III private manner, and contrary to
my knowledge and order, and took with
her q mare and colt, e26 value, and
about 4Os. in money, and other house
hold furniture, to the value of about
94O in the whole. Said Abigail has
played me off several tricks of the
same nature, for years past, and when
spent comes for more, till she hath, by
often being intoxicated with spirits,
and masculine temper, wasted hun
dreds Of pounds of my estate. I do
therefore humbly request and forbid
any person or persons whatever of re-
celving said mare or colt, or other
goods, at her hands, or anybody author
lied by her, or having any dealings
with her; and all persons are forbid
trusting her on my account, as I deter
mine not TO pay any debts of her con-
traction after this date.
