The entertainment given at
Turner'S Hall, in Pineville, on last
Thursday evening, for the benefit of
Mt. Olivet Chapel, was, indeed, a
grand success in every particular,
aud shows beyond the peradven,ure
of doubt that all that is required
TO make a success of such entertain
meuts, is for the right parties to get
at the bead of them. Considering the
fact that all tho performers were
amateurs, the acting throughout was
first.class, and caused comment most
complimentary to be made. Where
each and every one did so we'll it
would be invidious to particularize,
hence this brief notice. The total
receipts will amount to $l02 clear
Of expenses. We learn that an eff.
fort is being made to have repiti.
tion of the same programme on this
side of the river.
ON account of business we failed
to be present at the closing exercises
of Mrs. Matthews Female School, GU
Friday, which we regret exceedingly.
The dialogues, Rotations, ETC., were
interesting and showed plainly to
what great trouble this lady had I'm.
dergone to please aud amuse the
parents Of her scholars, likewise the
pupils themselves. Addresses were
made by the Rev. H. C. Duncan and
Capt. JAS. G. White, the latter gen.
tleman taking occasion to remark
chat Alexandria should be the cen
tire Of EDUCATIONAL institutions Of the
State, 9 Albany was of New York,
and Columbus of Ohio, and othe,
central Towns in other States" Ia
the course Of his remarks be also al
luded to the removal of the State
Seminary to this place, and made
complaint OF the little interest taken
by our people here in educationa
matters.
