A good audience was in attendance at
tho O. P. church last night at Tie Amer
icus school exhibition, Notwithstanding the
inclemency ofthe weather, and The oft.Ie-
peated postponements which have taken
place before the exhibition was finally
given. The program consisted Of char
ardes, dialogues, select readings, etc.,
well selected so as to please the listeners
and was very well rendered. The exhi-
bltion was under the auspices of our ef-
fieient corps of teachers, Mr.. NJ. w.
Chance, Miss CampbelIaad Miss Morse,
and was great credit to them. Time
and space forbids mention OF the various
pieces on the extensive program, but
suffice itto say that they were all we'll
rendered. The best of order prevailed
among the children who kept
quieter than the older ones, which
goes TO show that men
are but children OF malurer minds, and
can make more noise than the little
ones, who generally have 10 bear the
blame. The proceeds were about $15,
which viii be used after paying the ex-
penses of the exhibition to liquidate the
debt on the organ. Israel Reider, per-
formed some lofty tnmbling yesterday

1900 cattle il the territory. He says

Nation are in rather thin condition, ow
ing to the unusual amount of snow ant
