AT the close of Miss Mountioy's very
excellent address, Mr.. w. III. Chiles
sang very pretty ballad, "Tel Her
l Love Her So" 1t was highly apprc-
ciated.
Miss Cartwright also sang "Song
of May" which was so pretty that a
vigorous effort was made to bring her
back. She would not be persuaded to
! return.
Mr.. A. w. Smith sang "My Angel"
and as he always sings i'm wonderful
ly good manner, he was enthusiastic-
ally applauded.
Miss PEBBLES sang the "Swss Song"
by Eckert, in manner to add to her
already high reputation. A strong
effort was made to recall her, but it
was late, and she refused to respond.
The Aiumne, all in body, assisted
by those who had taken part in the |
musical selections, then sang "Auld
Lang Syne," led by Mrs. McCausland |
We noticed that the time was not per-
feet in the chorus, but who cared?
Some OF these ladies had been class
mates thirty years ago, and had scarce

Lang Syne," rs 1t welled up from their
hearts, touched the scnsibilities of
the audience far more than mere drill
song would have done.
Rev #. Memefee, in short and eIo-
qncnt PRAYER, dismissed the audience,
but the Alumne, with Il large number
OF invited friends, assembled in the
parlors and halls to talk over old
times. And such u reunion as it was.
We saw many of them "wlping away
the silent tear" and nothing is more
than this act. 1t was real
