 The closing exercises Of the pubic school, last Thursday and Friday nights, were pleasant ending to a successful term. On both nights, the large hall on the first floor was crowd ed to it's utmost capacity. The first night was devoted to exercises of a varied character, in which the pupils of the respective departments took part. All did we'll and it would take much spacet to give our readers a faint con- ception of tho many excellent features of the programme. The second night was devoted to exercises in which the music class aud older pupils partici- pated, and the immense audience pres ent on the occasion was hearty en- dersement of the entertainment provid- ed for the community, and this was further evidenced by the frequent and hearty rounds Of applause. 1t would afford us pleasure to no:e the several features of the programme and tho eX- cellent manner in which each was rem dered, but limited space forbids. We hope our readers will pardon us, how ever, if we mention the rendition of the pretty little drama of "Cinderella. "
