their teachers, they did credit to
themselves and the school. Their
teachers earnest and Jealous ener-
gy was net spent for nothing, no;
the future prospects Of these pu.
pills seem to point to one of which
they may feel proud of. Their
close application has already won
for them notoricty and the well
wishes of the people. Prof. Brown
has spared nothing in making his
school one Of the best, and the
good people of Antioch could not
get more perseyerlng teacher
The exercises were closed with
a short speech by Prof. Brown,
which was highly enjoyed. He
being very busy before the close
Of his school, stated that be had
not had time to prepare a speech
as he had desired. However, his
talk was gallant and full of meau-

everything passed of quietly and
to the satisfaction of all. We re.
peat, it was a grand success, and
q most enjoyable occasion.
