We have had a very lively week in Cas-
Teton. Monday evening an entertainment
by the pupils of the seminary was held in
the school room. The programme consist
ed of literary exercises, music and tableaux.
Tho role was surprisingly perfect, not a
breach occurring anywhere. The essays
were meritorious in matter and brevily, and
French dialogue which was performed
by the pupils of the French class under
Miss Fen Burckc, was very five affair.
Tuesday evening the normal class gave
an exhibition similar in character to that Of
the previous evening, only lacking one of
the chief attractions of understandable
termination. 1t is impossible To mention
all who filed their parts with credit, but
Miss Ida G. Todd, who appeared several
times, Miss Lizzie Welch and Miss II. \.
Rising were specially noticeable in the
tableauX, recitations, etc, IN which they
engaged The pantomime tableau, Yankee
Doodle, was excellent. The affair closed
with the tableau Joan Of Arc.

ton of Mrs. ID. D. Cole in honor Of the
marriage of her brother, Mr.. L. G. Sher-

in keeping with the position of thu parties
most deeply interested.
Tuesday and Wednesday written ex-
amnations were conducted at the seminary.

cOmmendable degree of proficiency in the
various branches of study. Thursday the
examinations were conducted orally, and
were most satisfactory, especially in the
classical department. Study will be re-
sumed Thursday, Jan. 18th, in both schools.
The entertainment by The literary society

drama "Down by the sea, was well ada ot-
ed to the purpose desired. was sentimental
and funny, and IN their playing the actors
far exceeded the expectations of the large
audience. As Il sample of amateur acting
it could not be eXcelled Miss Fcnncll as
Mother Gale, was indiscribable. Miss Todd
as Kate Raymond, was herself; lovely,
graceful and dignified, and Jessie Hawkins
as Kitty Gale, was pretty, piquant and CO.
quetish as the character demanded. The
farce, "Wanted, a male cook, was like
all farces, only better in its style Of pre-
sentation, which was uneXceptionablc. W.
