The Hall in which the Festival was
held was again densely crowded last
evening. The singing, Rotations. spell
ing match. etc.. passed off pleasantly
and were enjoyed by the company pres
ent. The great sensation of the even
ing however, was the Performance in the
side room OF the startling tableaux called
Picture Proverbs" Those who had
the pleasure of seeing them enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content. The
Elephant Hannibal, marched into the
main room and excited considerable
mirth amongst the audience. The Fes-
tival throughout has been a success, and
all concerned deserve credit for the exer-
lions made in behalf of the church. We
xill be enabled in our next issue to give
the pecuniary results, which we trust will
be satisfactory to all concerned. An en-
tertsinment like this has been, is well
patronized by our citizens, as of late
there has been very little of any kind of
amusenents in Phoebe, except the var
ious socials during the Winter and
Spring.
