BUTLER, April |, 1884.
EDS CITIzEN:-It was q very pleas
ant trip Tuesday evening, April lst,
to the pleasant little town of Prospect,
nine miles west of Butler. Every visit
to that place brings back remembrance,
of eighteen years past. We were then
favorably impressed with the place,
for its location, beauty, and the Clean
illness of streets and walks. But above
all the high moral tone of the citizens,
with the spirit of enterprise that seems
to be exhibited, with their good social
manifestations. They were particularly
kind to US on this occasion, in that we
were kindly escorted to prominent
seat, especially reserved for Butler
visitors, who went, as supposed, es-
pecially to visit and enjoy the enter
tainment given by the Prospect Acade-
nv School. We will say the entertain
ment was fine. We could not eulogiZe
the performances without taking up
each performance and then We could
not do justice But suffice to say, all
through, it was very good, surprising
ly good. Showing the ability, eficien-
cy and high tone Of Prof. N. M. Grove
and j. c. Ricketts, 1t does seem TO US
that Prospect has done well in their
iustituting this school. The location,
the society and character of the citi-
zens, bespeak the Prospect Academy
grand success. We believe the public
can safely entrust their sons and daugh-
ters with certainty they will be edu-
Gated under Prof. Grove and Ricketts,
and also Miss White, an accom-
plished teacher in vocal and instrumen-
tai music, whose very presence and
ability would inspire taste in all her
students, that she would meet and
supply by imparting to her pupils.
This is noble institution, ably man.
aged by an earnest corps of Directors
or Trustees, who seem determined at
any sacrifice to make this school equal
to any for comfort, morality.
