Mr.. EDrTOR.-IIcre comes another
communication from our little town
This however does not contain as much
of the fight in il rs the one you last re-
ceived from our quiet village did. From
that one you learned that our good
nature admids of degrees of passion.
We believe in justice and right, and do
not like our friends to be assaulted with
out un,--cspccially not our
school teachers. We appreciate well
qualified and faithful teachers, and do
not want them either abused, or refer
red to in IL suecriug manner. At some
places IL has become the custom to find
fault with the teachers from the time
their schools open until they close. but
We want il understood hat Bcavcrtown
docs not belong to that class. We
claim that our teachers, q. |. Stahl and
John kaufman, are among the most
faithful in the county, and if any 9TH
crs of our towns can boast of better
schools than we had, we should like to
hear from them.
At the close of last years SCHOOL, term
Nr. Stahrs school gave an entertain
meut or exhibition. which WIS very
much praised 10y all who were present
and witnessed the performances. In
deed so much pleased were tho pupils
themselves, that they insisted upon al
so having one this year. Though
aware of the extra amount of labor il
would require on his part TO make il n
success, Mr. Stahl did not refuse. but
agreed to comply with their wishes.
Accordingly, selections were made for
speaking and singing, aud the evening
decided upon. Both teacher and pu-
pills worked hard every day tout of
school hours), especially in the even
ings. Hard work always merits re-
ward. rs might be expected, so did
this. The exhibition was held on the
evening of the 30th of last month. On
account of the roads. no moro unfivor-
able time could have been selected.
bu! the people of Beavertown and vi
cinity were not agoing to miss-what
all believed IL would bc-one Of the
best entertainments of the kind ever
had in the county. Long before the
hour nj which the door was to be open
ed, crowds Of people, young and old
could be seen making their way to
wards the church to make sure OF
sca's, and it was well they did SO, for
when the exercises commenced, the
church was crowded. every scat being
occupied, Notwithstanding that an adj
mission fee was charged. After the
exercises il !. not too much TO say.
| ihd, though the expectations ofthc an
dimce were high, they were fully real
lci-ycs, ! believe more than realized.
Al expected that the pupils would ac-
quit themselves wcll. but none bclrev-
od that they would do ~ well rs they
dill. There was no hesitation or cm-
harrassmcnt noticeable ON the part oi
any one. They all spoke we'll and
sang well. II my communication were
n)t already too long, ! would give YOU
tie names ofthc pupils who pnrticipa-
ted in the exercises, and also the names
fthe pieces spoken and sung, but time
IND space forbid my doing SO. Suffice
I Ia say. that il was n grand success,
md will long be remembered by the
jpeoplc of our town and community.
Too much praise cannot ho given
Mr.. Stahl for taking the time and go
ling to the trouble required to select
and prepare the exercises. They
we're not however all selected. Some
