singing school will be completed in two

one disputes. 1t is pronounced the

a number of ladies and gentlemen,
friends of the Shannondale Literary
Society, assembled at the residence
of c. II. Kable, Esq, KabIetown, on
Saturday evening, May Sd, to witness
their final entertainment for the sea-
son. The programme embraced quite
a large number of vocal and prose
selections. The pleasures of the eve-
ming were greatly enhanced by tho
splended singing of Mrs. John Kable;
her rendition of the sWatchman" was
superb. Miss Annie Conklyn' simper-
sonation of the Everlasting Talkcr," T"
in the laughable comedy of that name,
was perfection and won for her hearty
applause from the audience, The
side-splitting farce of g The Railroad
Accident,'' by Robert and Charles
Rissler, took the house by storm. A
select reading entitled Why should
the Spirit of Mortal be Proud" was
given by G. Mason Conklyn, also the
humorous character sketches of
"Farcwell, Brother Watkins" "The
Preacher from Hepsidam, the bash
ful school boy reciting "Mary had d
Little Lamb" and the " Boys Com
position on the Horse The charm-
ing comedy OF tire Country Cou4-
sins" was we'll rendered by Misses
Annie Conklyn, Ida Kable, Bessie
Conklyn and Mary McClcnnan. The
brightest gem of the evening was the
singing of the /" Blind Girl'' by Miss
Ida Kable and Mrs. John Kable, the
sweet melody and touching pathos of
which captured the charmed audience,
AS an encore Miss Ida recited /" Bar
bara Blue" and by her matchless de.
livery held her audience spell bound,
which was only broken by repeated
applause Mt its conclusion. The "Joys
of Heaven" was read by Robert Kiss
ley, with fine effect. An original

In fields at carly morn;

All earth from slurnber waking,
Thrilled with new delight;
A whisper in the breezes
OF coming days more bright,
A warbling from the branches
That makes the pulses leap;
The tlast of strcamlcts rushing
From hill and mountain steep.

The gentle fan Of rainf-
