to appreciate tho performance very highly,
especially tho music furnished by Prof. N.

Prof. N. Schmidt and Mics Gowing. The

organ, which is proclaimed by our people to
excel anything of the kind wo have had in
Fair Play. We oxtond thanks to tho Pro-
fesso or his services and wish him much
succ ,s in tho future.

was acted in Walhalla somo time since in aid
Of tho Adgor College, which, for amateurs,
was worry good. Wo will not tako up spaco

in which they performed their respective
parts.
Tho next play can Eligible Stuation"-a
harmonious play, was we'll performed and
highly appreciated by the audience. The
best performers in that play were Messrs.

Hellen Sheldon.
Botweon tho plays came tho songs, "Star of
tho Evening"" "Birdie Darling" "Evango-
line' and "Letter in the Candle" which were
taught by Miss Gowing and creditably per.
formed.
Prof. Calhoun and Miss Gowing have our
sincere thanks for their ardent services in
getting up the chnrades for tho benefit Of the
school and enjoyment Of the neighborhood;
and wo will further say that Prof. Calhoun
has advanced his students rapidly in their
literary studios, and the patrons arc we'll

THE LABORATORY OF TIE SYsrEM.-Tho sto-
much is the laboratory Of the system in which
certain mysterious processes ore constantly
going on. These result in the production of
that wonderful vivifying agent, the blood, which
in state Of health rushcs laden with tho clo-
ments of vitality to tho rcmotcst parts of the
system. But when the stomach is ecm-para-
lyzed by dyspepsia, blood manufacture is carried
on impcrfectly, tho circulation grows thin and
sluggish, and tho system suffers in consequence.
Moreover, indigestion reacts upon the liver and
bowels, rendering tho first sluggish and tho
latter conslipated. The brain also suffers by
sympathy, and sick headaches, sloeplcssncss and
nervous symptoms arc engendered. lIostetters
Stomach Biters reforms this state of things,
gives permanent tone and regularity to the sto-
mach and its associate organs, the bowels and
liver, and ensures complete nourishment and in
creased vigor Of tho system. It is the most
popular as we'll as tho most efficient auti-dys
poptic and tonic in America.
