Had the Wrong Hat,

Happening in one of the churches of
your town on Sunday night last, saw
rather an amusing incident. 1t was in
the way of II young lady and her pa Pa
stayed so long afterthe sermon concluded
that the young lady tired of waiting,
went outside. While she was out, the
parson came down the aisle hunting his
hat, and for some time there was
quite dillgent search in and around the
temple for the head-gear, but it could not
be found. After while the young lady in
question come back to see what was the
racket, and in her hand she carried hat
which the parson quickly recognized as
his own, Now had the minister been II
young man, we would not have wonder
ed at her having the hat, but as he is mar
ried, we take it for granted she thought
the tile belonged to her pa, and that she
carried it out with her, thinking to in
duce her pa to hurry along.

The musical Entertainment given in
College Ortory, nn Friday evening of
last week, By members and teachers of
the PENNSYLVANIA State Institution Of the
Blind from Philadelphia. was one well
worthy of note. The program was Il long
one but not the least tiresOme 10 the
audience. At s o'clock or little after,
the orchestra, under the direction of
Prof a. Geibel, took the lead in a
march, Souvenir lie Newark" after
which, the entertainment was interSpcrs-
ed. Comic songs, Rotations and music.
Master jessie McClintock displayed no
little talent in the rccitations, "Flying
Jims Last Leap" and Craps" for one so
young, and afflicted. Miss A. b. Cole
and Miss II. p. Lyle rcappeared several
times on the stage during the evening
each time impressing their hearers more
and more by exhibiting their powers us
songtresses. Mr.. J. II. Davis in his cor
net solo, and Mr.. julius Keller in his
claironet solo, merited praise and credit.
The most novel of all, was the BATTLE
Axe Drill, by 7. +, Sharon, who is en-
trely sightlcss, yet withall, he displayed
remarkable dexterity and ability. This
feat, which he repeated, was received in
such Il manner us to convince that gem

to please. Every part was well sustained,
and east credit upon the instructors of

were in attendance, were loud in their
praises of the evenings program. We
trust and believe, were they ever TO re-

Closing Exercises,

In the College Oratory, on Thursday
evening, the closing exercises of Miss
NJ. A. Wilson's Select School were held.
The Oratory was crowded, and many
were unable to secure seats. The exer-
cises We're very pleasing and the audi
ence were delighted with what they
heard 1t was surprising how well all
acquitted themselves "The Rose-The
Queen of flowers" by nine little misses
was well done, and at the same time
formed a beautiful scene. The program
was long and it was our intention to give
lengthy account of this highly pleasing
Entertainment but to do justice to all, we
found that our space was limited Those
who have attended one of thes enter
tainments can tell how highly they are
appreciated. The training of the stu
dent is very preceptible, and they acquit
themselves in manner and style worthy
| of older folks Some of the pieces render
ed showed considerable elocutiOnary
powers, and cannot be delivered better
| by any one. Altogether the exercises
showed careful training, and Miss Wilson
| deserves the thanks of all for the pains
and extra labor bestowed on those en-
| trusted to her charge.

The Delaware College boys passed
through here ON Saturday last on our 8
a. m. train enroute for Middletown to play
the rubber game of base ball with the
Conference Academy boys of Dover and
we are glad to state that they succeeded
in beating them one run. One fact struck
us rather forcibly when the train passed
through here there was no such hilarity
as on the former occasion. They SEEM
ed to be more docle and wore an express
sion of determination on their faces.
Their friend Ferris accompanied them
from here and he claims that it was his
presence during the game to cheer them
whenever they (the Newark boys made
good play, that gave them the game,
and he further more stated that had
''Duey" been there, logged out in his
Prince Albert, and cast one of his bland
smiles on the Dover boys, it would have
paralyzed them, and he doubts whether
they would have scored anything but II
goose-egg but we are more than glad that
the Newark boys won the day.

we would suggest that if he were to keep
