Miss shapard's Exhibition.

School gave an exhibition at An
toinette Hall last Friday night
which was immensely appreciated
by very large audience. Dia-
logues in character, declarations,
recitations, music, ETC., constituted
the exercises. The children not
only gave evidence that they were
splendidly taught but Ia the selec-
ton of pieces and characters for
the exhibition, the teacher evInced
a wonderful tact and knowledge of
how to please a pfomiseuous audi
ence. We were absolutely sur
prised that little children could be
taught to perform SO accurately (al-
though we had two children there
whom we knew to be the smartest
in the State), and we are satisfied
that all the patrons were delighted
with the exhibition of progress
made by their children. The eve
ming was exceedingly warm, and
being short, the exercises were cur
tailed considerably. The exhibit
made by Miss Lizzie Smiths class
in calisthenics was exceedingly in
teresting and unique. That such
small children cohld be taught to
go through the intricate tactics was
no less wonderful than interesting,
and gave evidence of the careful
and painstaking ttaining they had
received. This too was curtailed.
A prize had been awarded by Miss
Lizzie to Sallie Lou McCord for her
proficiency In cal6tfIeAies, and it
was to be awarded that evening,
but the ceremony was omitted. The
whole exercise gave token of care
full training bestowed upon the
children in all departments, i'm
mensely pleasing to patrons and
spectators.

months, having herself been a pupi

great confusion caused by people
crowding into the hall, and few
heard it.

summer and autumn in his icy letters
till glad young spring burst theil
bonds and filed the silent earth will
the happy songs of birds, as she traile
her bright robes over the brown hills
and hung the bare trees with beautiful
blossoms. And as smiling May give
place to rosy June, we come once NOR
to welcome you to our closing exercises
Right gladly will we hail the first day
