THE SENIOR EXHIBITION.
A Successful Eta,bition bat mo- supp.

A Successful Exhibition hat mo- supper.
The senior exhibition of the class Of
81, Friday evening, was very sue
cessful affair. The first Grafton. by j.
Frank Trull, told of the disastrous
effects produced by imaginary evils /;
Anna NJ. Cows followed with n very
bright paper oa "The Conundrum :"
in his GRAFTON on traitors and treach-
cry, 5. l.. Bliss gave some OF most
striking Illustrations OF the subject to
be found in history, and in an essay on
the biography Of Anonymous. Julia +.
Parker gave SOME idea of this vOlumi-
nous author. The discussion Was on
the question, Ought monuments tn be
erected to public men, Willis o. Smith
taking the Affirmative aud Herbert ID.
Williams the negative, both presenting
strong arguments. The only rccita-
ton of the evening was 10y Gertrude
III. Howe, who told the legend of st.
Nicholas, commanding the interest of
the audience to the close of the some
what long recital.
One of the able Orations Of the even
ing was by Chas. NJ. Smith on the pow
er and moulding influence of public
opinion. Lena b. Carlton and Sarah
E. Potter discussed in very enter
tanning manner the contents of photo
graph albums in general and the one
in hand in particular, and Mary p.
Rankin told the story of "a rifled mail
bag, and a very bright and witty story
it was, containing a number of refer
ences to recent local occurrences that
added to the interest of the recital
The last Grafton was 10y the class pres
ident, G. p. Matthews, and was an elo-
quent plea for prison reform. The
program was interspersed by number
being rewarded with an encore. Ma
bel S. Bracket and F. d. Brown rem
dered piano Duet and a male and
mixed quartet gave two numbers.
Prayer was offered and the benediction
pronounced by Rev. F. E. Dawson.
After the exhibition number of the
boys had planned, without the consent
or knowledge of Mr.. Putney, to have a
supper at the st. Johnsbury house.
When Mr.. Putney knew of the matter
proceedings were summarily stopped,
which aroused the boys a good deal
and led them to say and do some
things which upon second thought we
believe they greatly regret. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that permission
ought first to have been obtained for
such an affair, and it must also be con-
coded by the friends and patrons of
the school as well as by the boys them
selves, that midnight suppers, with the
attendant evils, at the end of every
term, ought not to be allowed. The
experiment was tried last year with
results not creditable, to say the least,
to the boys. 1t certainly seems I'M
wise to risk the reputation of the
school by establishing any such pre-
cedent. Under the circumstances the
course taken by the principal seems to
us to have been the wisest one which
could have been pursued.

The Nugent Matricide Case.

The Nugent Matricide Case.
The hearing on the Nugent matri-
eide case, which was reported in these
columns last week, was held on Mon
day at Athabaska, P. Q. Further in
formation mOdifies the statement some
what as to dates and minor details. 1t
appears that Joseph Nugent's mother
has been missing nearly a year and a
half and that nothing special was
thought of it until last spring. The
story as it is now told is that Nugent,
when he went for his mother, was ac-
cOmpanied by his wife, that he stop
ped on what is known as the old road,
crossed the field To Mr.. Seeley's house,
where the mother was stopping, and
took her away. Seeley, out of curiOs-
ity, followed piece to see in which
direction they went, noticed a woman
in the wagon and, not knowing that
Nugent's wife was with him, supposed
the woman was the mother and
thought no more about it. Nugent has
told many stories, among others that
the old lady was in st. JOhnsbury his
latest story is that his mother said
she preferred to live anywhere rather
than with her family and after he had
given her SO, she agreed to go away
and to keep away and went off toward
Black lake. Many ugly stories ar,
told of Nugents threats in the past
He was only taken in civil case fo
concealment and it depends on the re-

The illustrated musical entertain
ment by Miss Julia A. Wells and Mr..
Mapes was given at Music hall Tues
day evening before a small audience
There were over 80 stereopticon views
thrown upon the screen illustrating
Tennyson's "St. Agnes Eve" "The
Brook" Lyte's "Abide with me-" etc.
The illustrations were many of them
superb and the dissolving effects sur
passed any work done here with the
stereopticon. Mr.. Mapes, who is the
illustrator of the famous StOddard lee
lures, is the master of his art. The
various views were accompanied with
musical selections by Miss Wells, con-

This Model Village.
st. Johnsbury is a fruitful topic for
the newspaper correspondents. The
thermometer is way below zero when
the Argus hasn't word to say about
this charming village. Now it is a
correspondent in the Messenger, who
puts in his little oar and pays the usual
round of compliments to st. JOhnsbury.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to know
that st. JOhnsbury is appreciated by
the rest of the state. There is not
ceives so much attention. 1t may as
well be noted, right here, that the
main industry of the place continues to
do business, and the opinion is ventur
ed that there isn't a manufacturing in
dustry in the state, or in New England
for that matter, that runs with less
friction as regards the relation of en-
plOyes to employers.
