The little boys and girls had nice speeches
anly few made mistakes.
Master Johnnie Bntnsr had short race from

The Achool Is composed of a number Of nice,
good looking boys and girls, as they are now
termed. but are perhaps looking forward with
delight. when they shall have seme other title.
Several songs were sung beautifully by the
school. I was deeply interested in the char
ades-al acted well the parts assigned them,
but few did excellently, and can not refrain
mentioning, Mr.. Charles Osburn, Coleman,
Camp, and Miss Jennie Baber. They show
some talent for the stage aud II cultivated, will

Mr.. O. Camp, for once In his life was blessed
with several wives, and no doubt the one he APP
prsciatsd mostly, was she whom he "was forced
TO bring home in a wheel barrow"
Lastly, but not leastly they showed us some
amusing tricks from the Doctors shop. Mr.
Jas. Ssswright astonishsd svsn himself when
pstrsating from mixture Of chlorate Of potash,
sugar, and sulphuric acid-hs backed against

The large assembly, their good behavior, and

dsvotes his time to the training Of youthful
