CELEBRATIoX.-A letter from lady of Lib
erty, says: On Friday, the 10th Of April, we
had the pleasure of spending few hours with
the ''Bryant Literary Society," of Spring
dale school. The teacher, Miss A. E. Kin
yer, had called the pupils together for the
purpose of distributing some prizes, which
the children had won by months Of close ap-
plication to their studies, and regular atten-
dance, and also 10 hold the regular exercises
of the society, consisting OF music, select
readings, &c. We regret that so little atten-
ton is paid TO this matter of literary societies,
not only by the patrons of the schools but by
the teachers themselves. 1t is not only a
very pleasant way of spending an afternoon,
but very beneficial, leading, as it does, to
very close attention to the subject of Elocu-
ton. To read well, one must read under
standingly, and this requires patient thought
and study, which viii result in a higher APP
probation, not only of the subject in hand,
but viii extend itself to their other studies.
An entertainment was given here in Feb
ruary, which was so thoroughly excellent and
enjoyable that we regret not seeing some
mention oft in our county papers.
