teacher and pupils, and the essays were
productions of real merit. The exercises
of the school were followed by appropriate
remarks by Mr.. William Grover The
farewell address of Miss Cook to her pupils,
which concluded the exercises of the day,
was tender and touching; as in appropriate
language, she reviewed the scenes of the
past commended her pupils for diligence
in study, expressed her interest in their
welfare, end earnestly endeavored to i'm
press upon them the importance of seeking
that wisdom which is far above the riches
Of the world.

came TO the teacher and pupils, for which
they are indebted to the thoughtfulness of
Mr. Joshua Grover. There was driven up
a large wagon beautifully ornamented with
evergreen trees, and ontaining a banner
bearing the inscription, "In honor to our

ways choosing the shady side of the street.
