Ed. Tel.-About as conspicuous an item
Of news for this writing win be concerning
our High School exhibition Of last Friday
evening. The. preparations made for ii
were a.,ont the average. and it had heen
once decided not TO have any admission fee,
until the thought Of improving the chances
for the benefit of the band induced small
fee at the door, which with the crowd that
thronged the hall, must have offered quite
handsome reward. The following pro-
grsmme carried s,ut, was. in selections,
tone, temper, ability, and every way con-
sidered, one of The best We have ever had.
The thought occurred to us as each one VAS
occupying the floor, that ..they deserved
special mention, > but as the whole affair
finally turned out, there is no room for us
10 be invidious if We would, for the fact is
every one. 50 to speak, ..iilled the biH''-
but to the programme.

Luce in the chorus. The music Of a Centen-

The next in order was the conferring of
diploma on Miss Jessie Partch-Rev. Dib-
bell making the presentation address,
These graduating exercises-only that the
lateness Of the hour making much fatigue
apparent-were very interesting.
Now comes an exercise, to close with, not
in the programme. The curtain was drop
ped and in due time rose again, when ex-
posed to view was silver ice pitcher. Miss
Leura Burnett approaching Mr.. and Mrs.
Treat made them presentation speech of
the same as a testimonial of the students
regard for their teachers. In due time Mr..
Treat took the floor, and though much re-
strained by his feelings, alternately ad-
dressed the students and audience in words
well chosen, and responded to by every
head and heart.
Engraved on the front of the pitcher is,
"Kingsville High School, to Mr.. J. P.
Treat & Wife" In this connection, Mr..
Dibbell got the floor and presented to the
audience the following resolutions for adop-
ton:
Resolved, That we deeply regret the de-
partule of Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Treat from
among us, both as teachers of the High
School and as members of our community.
ResOlued, That we tender them our sin
cerest thanks for their devotion to the
welfare Of the school, and that we rejoice
in the large success of their labors.
Resolved, That our best wishes and
prayers shall follow them as they leave us
to follow the same high calling in new
field.
Thus closed the last exhibition under
Prof Treats supervision, the hour of mid
night being nearly or quite reached; but all
retired to their homes fully possessed with
the belief that it had been good invest
ment.
Prof. Treat and lady took their depart
ure yesterday for Perry, Lake Co.. where
during the interval of time between now
and the commencement of the fall term of
the Normal School in Geneva, which is in
August, they viii divide the lime between
a Centennial trip &c. Their numerous
friends win ever feel an abiding interest in
their welfare.
With the Sudden GOODNESS precipitated
upon us during the last 10 hours, some one
has suggested revolving under shirts and
drawers. The old fashioned way of replac-
ing is yet in vogue, and found as comfort
able as ever January inspired them to. To-
morrow, as much comfort may be found
in the casting of-such is life in this lati-
tude.
Our Presbyterian desk was occupied last
Sabbath evening by Rev. Comings; next
Sabbath morning Rev. Dibbell occupies the
same, there being two more Sabbaths dur
ing Rev. Hickok's absence at the General
Assembly.
Consequent on Mrs. Hough's sickness,
Rev. Hough, former pastor of the Baptist
church here, is still detained-thus, when
health permits, occupying the desk-as in
The case of last Sabbath. G.
