Such thing Is unheard OF in the annals

exception to the general rule, the Col
lege hall being filed as full as it could
conveniently hold and running over
into the hall. The occasion was the an
niyersary OF the Sigourney Literary So
ciety, and by the members OF which the
entertainment was given. Miss Lulu
Laughlin, the president, presided with
much grace and as TRANQUILITY as though
il had been a life business with her.

All these performances were delivered
with taste and spirit, and were warmly
applauded. An interesting feature OF
the evening came just before the final
performance. Miss Ida Haldeman, Of
Philadelphia, came upon the stage, and
in the name OF the Minerva Literary
Society, OF which she is President, pre-
scented Miss Lulu Laughlin with beau
tiful basket of flowers.
After the exercises were over many
of the guests strayed into the parlors,
and passed an hour or more in social
converse.
