CONCERT AT OF. HALL.
A Crowded House and a Brilliant
Success.

As the curtains of night began to
drape the hills around Odd Fellows
Hall on Tuesday, 14th inst, the
gathering of hoofs, the rumbling of
wheels, and the murmuring of pc
destrlans as they made their way to
Locust Grove Academy" told that
an audience was assembling to wit
ness the closing exercises of the
second term of this modern institu-
ton of learning. At z o'clock the
hall was crowded to overlooking,
the windows filed with the curious
to see the curtain rise, while late
arrivals were bestirring themselves
to secure standing room in the
dress circle. The exercises were
opened by the rendition of "The
Convent Bells" by Miss Kate Fry

powers of the Favored few" whose
pens glide on without effort as the
pearly stream gushes from the
mountain side to seek its level in
the valley below. We do not exag
gerate when we say this entertain
ment was a success, that each stu
dent reflected honor upon their
teachers, and parents, and acquitted
themselves in a manner that be
