UNION LITERARY SOCIETY OF MEX.
leo HIGH SCHOOL.
Is Expressed By One Of the Audience.
The entertainment given by this
society on Friday night last, was
certainly one of the best its members
have produced. A well arranged
programme was admirably executed.
The tiresome length of preceding
of this society, was obvi-
ated by emitting the usual discussion,
valuable in itself, but added to other
duties, makes the exercises weari-
some. We can justly congratulate
the pupils Of the High School, and
teachers for the energy, skill, and
taste, displayed in making this an en-
tertainment of merit. A prominent
feature In school work, the results Of
such q society a scarcely be es-
timated when added to etfi-
Gent instruction in q good
course of study. The music I'M
der management Of Prof. Treloar,
was better than usual. At the close
of the exercises, the members were
greatly, but pleasantly surprised to
find that the medalist, Benz. Phillip,
had become their host. In the Ma
sonic hall over head, an elegant BAN
quet was in waiting. The tables
groaned, but not long, for the appe-
tite Of vigorous youth is keen. With
feast and fun they chased the happy
hours until warned by the town
clock to seek their little beds. "As
bees fly home with laden treasures"
80 did these youths, after showering
upon their host numerous benedic-
tons.
Right here we will state, that too
much credit can not be given to Prot.
Mcmillan for the success of this en-
tertainment, and in fact, of all mat
tiers connected with the Public School,
| and for the name and fame the Pub
lie School has all over the State.
Prof. Mcmillan is a cultured gentle.
man, alive, talented, and industrious
teacher, having the confidence Of
patrons, the love and respect Of the
pupils.
WHAT M OF THE AUDIENCE SAYS.
You will doubtless give ample no.
tice of the closing exercises of the
Public school, but an outsider desires
to utter a few words Of deserved
commentator in this connection,
We attended the examinations dur
ing the whole of the week, and were
in every room, and can testify to the
indication which those examinations
gave alike, of the untiring attention
and ability of the teachers, and the
diligence of the pupils. The high
est compliment we can pay, is te
say that the chief criticism which oc
CURED to our. minds, was, some O
the little ones seemed to have almost
too much put On them in the way o.
hard words and questions, but they
bore the burden well. We notice
a decided improvement over former
years in every department. Mexico
has reason to be proud of her school
and the thanks of every parent ant
every good citizen ARE due to Prof
Mcmillan and his assistants, for The
manner in which they have discharged
the duties Of their responsible posi-
tons. The closing exercises at tn
Opera House on Friday evening were
agreeable in every respect. TIL
destinations we're admirable; tn
original pieces were attractive, an
there was nothing which did not re
feet credit on all those who partici
pated. We.have the more pleasur
in testifying to this, because "
could not give such unqualifie
praise to the exhibition of last year
Our friend, Levi Mccormick
made US a pleasant call this week
He informs US that the crops ar
looking well and that we will have
fine corn crop. MI. Mcdonnell
