A small child Of Mr.. Woodruff's, of Coles

The annual examinations at Oakland Acad-
emy extended over Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week. 1t is
matter of regret that they are SO little attended
by the towns people, however those present
showed themselves thoroughly appreciative.
Perhaps the most interesting days were
Thursday and Friday. when the competitive
classes were examined. The class in hygienic
physiology showed fine record. Hon. D.
w. Stearns, in neat speech, presented Alex.
Patterson with the valuable prize offered bv
E. J. Page, NJ. D., TO the one who should
best stand the test of examination in that
branch. Where all did so well it was no
small task to decide upon. In the class in
English grammar, James Underwood was the
recipient of the prize offered by Rev. E. T.
Lockard Tor the best in that class. Charles
Medley carried off the prize in arithmetic,
offered by Prof. Russell, after a long and
closely contested labor at the blackboard.
Everything gave evidence of thou ghtful work
during the entire term. Surely Of such tr-
umphs teacher and pupil may we'll be proud,
nor is it a loss to those who labored and still
fell short of the offered prize, for are they not
so much the more strong and rich in mind
from having thus labored. On the wall was
also exhibited some fine oil paintings, executed
during the winter by Miss Barnard, which are
a credit not only to herself but her teacher,
The primary department was examined on
Thursday. The regular attendance has ex
ceeded fifty pupils. We are convinced that
none but an experienced teacher could have
maintained such enthusiasm and progress as
has been shown here during the entire year.
On the roll Of honor we find the following
names as not having been absent OF tardy
during the term: Maud Becky, Carrie Heart
sock, Jessie Ohmart, May Stearns, Fannie
Clements, Blanche Dearling, Harry Dearling,
Fred Pilkington, John Pllkington.
1t was pleasure to be present at the exer-
cises of the Philomathian Society of Oakland
Academy on Saturday night, Feb. 27th.
When we remember that the players were
not professionals, nor even amateurs, but
school boys and girls, we were surprised to
see how well they sustained their. respective
parts. The song of greeting by little Dora
Page was sung in winning, artess manner,
as only such little fairies can sing. Little
Mabel Sutherland sang one of her exquisite
songs to the delight of her hearers, Miss
Lillian Russell sang starlight Musings in
her unaffected way, so pleasing to her friends.
We think the chorus or "Rainy DAYS" vas
particularly good, all parts being 50 we'll sus-
tanned. The charades, "Checkmate" and
Misfortune, contained some taking charac
tiers, admirably sustained. The drama "Mov-
ing Under Difficulties" shows we have real
talent in our midst c. Chenoweth was by
turns, brave as soldier, generous as friend
| and excruciating as a lover Geo. Kruse
showed himself ''yalorous in love and war. ="
The Miser and the Veteran of 1872 did finely
and the young ladies, Misses Minnie Ma
honey, Mary Baker and Ollie Shortride were
| excellent in their roles, For ourselves we
were glad of the opor;unity Of paying the
small admittance fee after having enjoyed
their meetings during the past fall and winter
for nothing. May the Philomh hthians long
| flourish and may we still be there to see.
