were not fortunate enough to procure seat
where we could either see or hear we'll enough
to warrant our making any extended laudations
or criticisms 1t seems, however, to be the
general opinion that all did remarkably well,
and that the Class OF 70 are an honor to them
selves, to their teachers and to the community.
We hope they will not lay aside their class
motto, "You SOW for yourselves, you reap for
yourselves" with their graduating honors as
thing Of the past; but may they keep 1t ever
before them, remembering that the seed time
may be in time the harvest in eternity. or
the thirteen members Of the class al had COM
pleted the English course. Messrs. Cod ing
and Snyder had taken the Latin, while Misses
Barney, Arms andSMason had gwen four years
to German. The walls OF the church we're
handsomely decorated with ferns, plants and flags
On the wall back OF the stage Was the class
motto IN English, Latin and German text. The
stage was filed with beautiful plants in bloom,
while baskets and bouquets Of the choicest
flowers in great profuson were showered upon
the members of the class. The music furnished
by Messrs McNair and Diefendorf and Mrs.
Beckwith and Miss Phillips, with Mrs. Minnie
Wheeler at the organ, was very fine indeed. The
band also furnished some excellent music. AS
to the crowd, we could not do it justice In pen
and ink description, SO will not attempt it far
Their than to say that il was immense.
The teachers for the coming year, il they &C
cept their invitations to remain will be as fol-
lows: Principal, G. o. Tower; Preceptress,

Miss Brownell takes the place OF Miss Olivia
Reynolds, who has been one OF the most sue
cessful primary teachers ever engaged in our
schools. For Elk years she has worked faith
fully and conscientiously for the good Of her
pupils and patrons. She leaves the school with
q record equsled by few, If any. She leaves .
large circle Of warm, big hearts, % we'll IS little
ones. and We are sure that Success will attend
her efforts in the future az they have in the
past The Ward School will be IN charge OF

Annie Tuthill.
Mrs. Cyrus Tuthll died at her home in this
city, Jnne 24tb, 1879. her maiden name WAS
Fannie Beaker. She Was born IN Middlstown,
Orange county, n. Y, Jan. 18th, 1923. She
married Mr.. Cyrus Tuthill in 1852, and in 1855
came to Dowsglac, where she hss spent the
remainder OF her life, except four years. For
twenty two years she has been faithful, con-
sistant christian. She died as she had lived,
loving and lovabe, unassuming christian woman.
With one who has lived as she has lived, who
died as she died, what is death after all but
the refinement of life?"
