which were done with precision. The per-
feet order and decorum of the audience are
much to be commended.
The school has 40 boarders on catalogue,
with good prospects for the future. Inc

| D., D. & 3. INSTITUTION.
! The week closed with tableaux. panto-
mines and music at the Deaf, DUMB
Blind Institution, giving our people land
the young ladies OF the schools, very de-
lightful evening entertainment for which
Capt Mccoy, the Principal, has their
thanks. The tableaux were arranged by
| Mrs. Fannie Johnson, the Matron OF the
Institution, with great skill and taste, as
sisted by Mrs. BrecKinridge, the accom-
I! plished lady of the Steward, Capt. A. N.
Breckenridge. The programme which was
prefaced by Prof. Turner's orchestra with
the overture to The Caliph Of Bagdad was
as follows;
Statuary ...... .....Sculptor' Dream.
Tableau Rory O'More and Kathleen Bawn.
| Pantomime .... 1.-THE Rescue, u Scenes)
Tableau. ......... Retrospection.
TabIeau .............Old and Young America.
Pantomime ........, -....... Hospital Practlce
Tab,eau ......... When Poverty comes in, &c.
Pantomilne ......... Beauty and the Beast.
Tableau ...Egyptlan Mummles
| Of course the pantom ines were une-
qualed, because the deaf mutes are too
much at home in them to bear competl-
ton. The s'Hospital Practice" was de-
lightfully absurd and yet the make up OF
it was SO true to life that the amputatlon
Of an arm made one Of the school girls IN
I the audience so faint that she had to re-
tire. The tableau of "Restrospectlon'
was very fine and SO were the six scenes In
"Beauty and the Beast" and "Old and
Young America was perfect picture.
The highly instructive one of "When Pow
erty comes in Love goes out OF tue WIN
dow,'' would have been more appreciated
we think if the audience hadn't been Iack-
ing their brains to seewhere the sweet lit
tie infant love, just flying out Of the Win
dow came from.
The music as it always is at this institu-
ton was very fine. The performers were
hidden from sight but we don't suppose
there was any body in the room that
heard that delicious stAh so fair'' from
Martha, violin with flute obligato, that
didn It know that it was Prof. Turner with
Toby as accompanist.
