everything ring with their joyous bursts
Of laughter, and bore conclusive testi-

Al the hour designated, the citizens,
teachers, and children congregated in
the large, spacious and beautiful hall, to

from those who felt sufficient interest in
promoting their happiness BY giving

disappointment accruing from the delay
in procuring the furniture OF the hall, it

all seemed intent upon being there, and
soon forgot, in their pleasing entertain
