IL EDIroR OF TRANscklPr: Permit me to give
brief account Of the exhibition by the pub
fiic school at Townsend, assisted sbyyhe young
ladies and eeniisnen Of The vicinity, which
came of. accordngto encouragement ,9I1 on i Us rs
lsIh insiA ht wssla complete success, :ssSetal
OF the pieces were called by the audience a
second time, among WHICH were 'iWait till
the Moonlight" !" "Don't You go Tommy"
and "The Qnakers." Also among other
pieces admirably performed were the "Tea
Party" Country Auni's Visit to the City, :
'Tableaux-G Goddess. Of Liberty" represent-
| ing the one hundrecth anniversary Of the
nations birth ''The Family not to Pattern
After" master Piece" &c.
We have several times before held enter
tninments here, but this one was considered
TO he far ahead Of all others. The house was
filled with spectators, and they were de-
lighted, and many at The close Of the perfor-
nance declared it was far beyond their ex-
pectaiions and have since insisted that the
exhibition be acted again, which the school
has consented to do in about \ month 8 time.
Such entertainments are rarely seen in a
couutry town, and require great deal Of
practice to. make them successful. Much praise
is due the children Of the school and the
young ladies and gentlemen for the self-poss
sessesed and highly creditable manner in
which they performed their several parts. I,
If I had more time would enlarge on the
