The orator of the day, Governor Esk-
ridge, had apparently forgotten that he
was hornY-handed son of toll, for he
had on his best plumage; in fact he APP
peared to be well satisfied with himself
and his future legislative prospects, to
advance which is the entire object of all
hue and cry. Now do not wish to de-
tract from the governors well earned
reputation, as l admire his many good
qualities; but as he stood before that
mighty throng (75) in the proud con.
seriousness of his strength, could not
help thinking how singularly appropri

Normal Institute Entertainment.


The threatening appearance of the
weather last evening delayed the exer-
cises which were announced to take place
at the Methodist church, under the aus
pices of the Normal Institute, and many
were doubtless declared from going at
all, the house was nevertheless comfort
ably filled and those attending were
more than repaid by the excellence of
of the programme. The music was in
charge of Mrs. Delap, Misses Murdoch
and Innes and Messrs Kennedy and
Fletcher and as may be anticipated was
of an elevated character and ably inter-
preted, DIR. COrdley's lecture was the
feature ofthe evening, it was prOnounc ed
by all TO be an eminently superior dis
course and as an attempt to give a syn
Opsis of it would only detract from its
merit, we design to publish it In full in
future issue.
The reading of Miss Esterbrook was
of course up TO her usual standard and
was well received. Want of space will
not admit of our giving as complete a
resume of the affair as we would wish.
The entire exercises were excellent and
worthy of unqualified praise.

The Baptist social Tuesday evening was
a decided success in all particulars. The
beautiful grounds of H. E. Norton were
brilliantly illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, and whether it was owing to
this or the inviting appearance of the
tables, or the presence of the genial and
hospitable "Harry"hImself"tha so many
were gathered together" we are unable
to say, but certain it is there were a very
large number of Emporians on hand and
very social time they had of it in truth.
