PORTLAND, June q, 1877.
Hon. NJ. N. Butler, Mayor:
cannot help expressing to you my gratitude
for your noble action in regard to the use of
firearms and disturbances therefrom on the
morning of the coming Fourth of July. Scores
of the sick will bless you for this most timely
and judicious movement. 1t has been my ex
perence that nearly every patient has been
found worse on the morning of the Fourth
seemed to me most cruel to allow such things
to 60 on; and L hope and trust that you will
carry out your plan to the letter; and have no
doubt you will receive the support and coop
Grafton of every good citizen.
With sincere respect,
am yours truly,

High school Exhibition,

The annual exhibition of the High School
took place at City Hall yesterday afternoon.
AS usual, the hall was crowded with the par.
ents and friends of the graduating class. Eve
~ seat was taken at o'clock, and extra seats
were brought in to accommodate those who ar
rived later. The windows in the rear OF the
stage were festconed with flags and bunting,
while the pilasters we're decorated with ever
green and flags. Above the stage on one side
were the initials of the motto of the class and
of the boys and girls respectively. On the front
of the stage were large and handsome bouquets,
while the front of the Principals desk was
adorned with a costly Tyre, presented by the
second class to the graduates. In front of the
stage there was string of evergreen hung
with flowers. The Principal d. d. Patten,
presided over the exercises. On the left were
seated the Mayor and other members OF the
School Committee, while the graduates occu-
pied the remainder of the stage.
The exercises opened with. the class song,
written by Hattie L. Towle.
Dear classmates in tones that are loving and
strong,
Unite in jubilant ringing class song:
Let June in her loneliness, ever so fair,
Bring joy to our hearts and make summer time
there.
CHORUS.
True as lights that shine in heaven
Constant in Its heavenly blue;
So in lite since friendships given
Be old "77'' as true.
In leaving the past there's tender regret
For sweet were the joys we can never forget.
We part. yet when parted our love will ne'er
wane
Since friendship untes us with mystical chain.-
CHORUS.
The remainder of the programme was much
the same as on former years. The New Eng
land weather from Mark Twain, however, which
was given by one of the young gentlemen,
showed disposition to depart from the old ruts
of profound and uninteresting subjects. At
the close of the Rotations the committee
awarded the Brown medals to the following
pupils: Susie Stearns Dennison, Annie j. God
dard, Lizzie f. Walsh, Ella T. Drew, Harry
Lee Jones, Michael c. McDonougb, Samuel FL.
Thompson, George E. Themes.
The members of the graduating class were
printed in yesterdays PRESS.
