dressed and well behaved, but we could
not fail to notice that many of them had
been hard students, and had, in conse-
quence, impaired their eye sight. At
least so many Of them wore glasses, that
we could not reach any other conclusion
from appearances, and we were not al
lowed to ask questions. Should the
complaint affect many more, we would
prescribe an occulist as an addition to-
the faculty. The first piece of music on
the programme was "Men of Harlaeh, "
chorus, which was well rendered.
This was followed bya defamation by
one of the young men, entitled "The
Traitors Death Bed" 1t was well rem
dered, and showed the student as care

Delights" a part song, which showed
the voices to advantage. Then followed
Roger and l." by young miss, who
sustained her part well. ''In Wood, ="
well sung, followed, and then aThe Dy-
ing Alchemist" was given by young
gentleman, who had evidently studied
Shakespeare's advice to the players
Then "America" was sung as a chorus,
and the exhibition closed.
Brother Hopley was called on for
some remarks, and responded, in an
able manner, but came near turning the
meeting into political gathering. He
was followed by M'Gregor, of the Stark
County Democrat, who quoted Shakes
peare literally and made, altogether, q
very pleasant speech.
The school was then dismissed, the
editors took possession of the hall, ap
pointed a committee to draft resolutions
and then adjourned to witness the Capi
tai City Cadets drill, which, however
, did not take place till we reached the
, deaf and dumb asylum. While waiting
ing, Dave Fishers stomach began Il
/ rebel because of some water he haC
? taken, and he had recourse to Hopley'
- private glass for relief. After few
5 minutes spent in trying to draw tn,
