The PUBLIC SCHOOLS closed their regular
class exercises on Thursday; the graduating
exercises and examinations having taken place
at the close of the last session, no public exer-
cises were held. Friday was properly appro-
priated by the teachers and scholars Tor a iol-
ly good time in the open air. By 9 O'Clock
the pupils with bright smiling faces, were
gathered at the school building, each one bear
ing well-filled basket of provender The st.
Clairsville Band headed the procession, which
was marshalled by Sup't Burns, assisted by
the teachers in the respective departments, and
marched to the Fair Grounds, where they
spent the day in the most enjoyable manner
swinging, romping, ball playing, and in all the
delightful outdoor sports that ingenuity could
invent. At noon a magnificent spread by
each room separately was partaken of, and ice
cream was served by the committee of boys Of
the High School, Conrad Troll, Park West
and Ross Barrett, who by their indefatigable
efforts in assisting the Superintendent, were
largely responsible for the pleasures of the day
During the afternoon large number of the
friends of the schools repaired to the grounds
and helped to make the occasion just what il
was, one of the jolliest, cheeriest and most de
lightful days we ever spent, and to the little
folks who entered into its festivities will
more than ordinary zeal, it was a day long tt
be remembered. Superintendent, Teacher
and Committees have the hearty thanks of al
true friends of our schools.

IT appears there was something all along the
lines between this place and Bridgeport, on
Saturday last In the first place, four persons
from the first named place, all seated in one
little buggy-a livery buggy-one horse, be-
longing to John Hill-put in an appearance
here, and haulted to inquire for the Probate
Judge and some respectable parsonage. One
half of that happy quartette were fully bent
on matrimony. Some authorized person, we
suppose, then stepped in and politely invited
one-half the number to alight from the wagon
Too much live stock for the propelling power
and also for the material in said wagon. Aftel

shown-the ingenious knot was tied-the par
son made-dollars happier, and the boys whC
guarded the buggy, happier still. The meal
rsscals stole the jug and bottle both from I'm
der the buggy seat. They did not contain
water. And from this on, al the way home
the wedding day was made happy. Ma,
Heaven bless them. We don't know them.

BLA1R's right-hand man yery kindly loane

BLAIR's right-hand man very kindly loaned
him his horse, on last Thursday, to ride on an
errand. The day was warm and Blair was
dry. He met boy carrying a tin bucket full
of water to some hands; asked the boy for a
drink, and little man that he was, handed up
the bucket. The horse took fright and jump
ed and jumepd, then jumped again, and never
felt quite satisfied till rider and bucket were
both handed gently down by the side of the
road. Blair, boy and bucket were all there
together. The bucket was not hurt. The
horse was gone. That boys consolation did
not run very deep. He looked at poor half
drowned and well jolted Blair, and said, '.Now
1 reckon kin 60 and git another bucket OF
water" Nothing more. Assistance was
rendered about mile farther on, the horse
was caught, the journey resumed. Blair also
states that this is two or three times that water
has came near killing him-to say nothing
about tin-pan horses-and since, has invested
in one that is said to be reliable-too old to
jump more than six inches at time. He
kindly thanks the boy for handing him the
drink, and on account of his extreme youth,
forgives his casual remark just after the earth.
quake But the man that loaned him the
horse-he will only forgive on condition that
he furnish arnica gratis for that elbow.

The Cadiz PhiIharmonicans.

We made mention, last week, that this So
ciety embracing the best talent and the incest
folks of our neighbor town Cadiz, proposed to
give grand Vocal Concert soon in our town.
Its all fixed now, time, Thursday, June 10,
Place, Welday's Hall. They are coming over
on social and esthetic mission rather than a
pecuniary one. Of course they want to pay
expenses and what money is over goes to the
cause of music culture. Let us give a cordial
welcome and full house Their music is of
high character-the only thing they allow to
get ''high" in Cadiz, But music hath charms
&c. In their repertoire, we notice such gems
as Stars of the Summer Night o, Hail Us,
Ye Free Come with Gypsy Bride'-from
Bohemian sGirl; Phantom Chorus'-from
Somnambula; when the Morning Sweetly
Breaking solo from Moses in Egypt Cor in
the Brlrushes 1 forget which, and that won-
derfully beautiful production 4 Know that

shall be much mistaken and much disappoint-

best style-that is, every body go and hear
Cadiz sing.

The Felix A. Vincent Theatrical Troupe
played to rather slim houses, in Wellday's Hall
all through last week. We are of the opinion
that considering the ability of the entire troupe,
their marked good behavior, and their pains
and expenses to entertain the public, they
certainly deserved better houses. We are
satisfied that full houses, here, have greeted
far inferior performances and performers. 1t
costs at least five or six dollars to travel down
to Wheeling to witness almost any play, whilst
fifty cents last week would have shown just
about as much fine acting, as we could see in
the Grand Opera House at Wheeling, at the
hands of the majority of troupe. But it
was at home, and too cheap, you know.
