session, together with, his genuine
enthusiasm Nr his work, has won for
ll.h inuny warn. friends and staunch
| supporters, and he has doubtless done
much, by his labors, to advance the
educational interests of that comml,-
nifty. For the celebration and picnic
on the 9th inst. no c1lorts were spared
to make it entertaining, instructive and
crc,titablc, and we have no hcsitancv
in saying that teacher, pupils aud
patrons scored a pronounced success
upon that occasion. y
Tue place of gathering was in 6.
beautiful grove of woods, a few hun
drcd yards from tho school-room,. and
on it was erected Il neatly and testify
dccoratca stand, and on its front the
motto "!Tclcomc" beautifully and in
gcniously worked in flowers. =. ,
The exercises Of tho day were opened
with>praycr by the Rev. Horace Rabb,
and 4 greater portion Of the forenoon
was taken up in .tEc examination Of
the scholars in arithmetic, spelling,
grammar and geography. Tho exami-
nation in the various branches was
conducted apparently without any
special preparation upon what was
asked, and at'timcs in the course Of
its progress searching questions were
propounded by members Of the COM
mittcc. The result Of this part Of the
exhibition proved TIA! tho Intelligent
energies of Mr.. Keller had been well
directed and his scholars were studi-
GUS and diligcnt during the session.
The most interesting part Of the
programme was the speaking, partici-
patcd in by large portion Of both
boys and girls OF the school. The fol-
lowing is the list Of speakers, with

Turner and Maggie l.. IIa"ood, and

Some difficulty was experienced by
the committee in deciding as to whom
to award the respective prizes, and it
was found necessary in some instances
to recall the young speakers to the
stand. The prizes were presented by
the Rev. Horace Rab5 in behalf of the
committee, and in doing so he took occa-
sion to congratulate Mr.. Keller and his
scholars upon the success Of the cclc-
bration.
Mr.. Warren j. Sclng"s, represent
ing his fcllow-pupils, presented TO the
teacher a nice, valuable present, and
Mr.. Keller responded in a happy nlan-
ncr.
The above, with the additional fca-
turcs Of an excellent dinner and Il
genial and sociablc crowd, made
upon the whole very interesting and
enjoyable occasion. We congratulate
Air. Keller and orr friends Of that
community upon the success Of the
27th.
