West Nottingham Seminary Exer
clSeS

A ClSS0.
On Wednesday 18th inst, an en-
tertainment was given in the Chape
of West Nottingham church by the
young ladies of West nottingham
Seminary, which is under the care o.
Miss Anna G. Robinson. The pro
gram was lengthy and quite varied
consisting OF music, recitations, tab
leaux and debate, although the even
ling was unfavorable quite an
audience was present, appreciative
and interested throughout the entire
program. The song and address OF
welcome were much enjoyed. The
seminary epic, in which each young
lady had a place was unusually good
and caused much merriment and
applause.
The debate, resolved that the
American girl OF 1892 is superior to
the American girl of 1892. was ably
discussed both pro con, and reflects
credit on the young debaters. The
judges decided in favor of the girl of
1892 because she did not chew gum.
The tableaux, "The Gypsy Scene
with solo, "The Gypsy Warning
and "The Statute Bride" we're well
rendered. The recitations, Aunt
Tabitha' and "The Pert Chicken"
were received with much applause.
Seven times seven representing the
seven stages of womanhood by Jean
Igelow was given by seven girls,
their ages suited as well as possible
to the stage they represented; and
deserves credit for the manner in
which it was interpreted. A music
duet then was given followed by the
tableaux "Give in the Parlor.' A
comic song 1.-The dead Maids" was
not relished by some present, the
tableaux. Topsey and Eva with song
provoked much laughter. Then fol
lowed the Bellamy Reel, Looking
Backward in which the girls wore
masks and false faces on the backs
of their heads which gave them
ludicious appearance. The exercises
closed with the fare we'll song, Adieu.
Adieu, etc.
Much credit deserves to be given
both to the teacher and her pupils
for the entertainment. 1t clearly
shows that teachers and pupils are
working together without which there
can be no success in schools. Hoping
to meet them again we say adieu.

The first Sunday train between
Rising Sun and Philadelphia was
put on last Sunday. The train had
formerly started from Oxford. The
train was brought down about 5
O'Clock and left here at AS. There
were but few passengers to 60 aboard
and there Is not sufficient travel in
sight to pay expenses of a train from
this station on Sunday afternoon.
We predict the experiment will end
by Withdrawing the train in a short
time. If the second morning train
from Oxford should run down and start
from Rising Sun it would no doubt
be literally patronized. Or if round
trip tickets were sold at Rising Sun
to go by way of the P. W. & B. r. R.
and return by the B. G. Division and
for the same price of round trip
ticket over the b. G, Division no
doubt there would be a great deal of
travel secured by such arrange
meet.

There was joyous time last night at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. |. g. Dillon

dismal iDclemencv there streamed rays
of light from the mansion so brilliantly
attuned for the occasion and the sound
of gleeful voices bespoke the merrlment
within. The guests assembled TO dis
cuss progressive euchre and for several
hours, there were exciting contests,
and many congenial enterchanges Of
position.
The interior was artistically decora-
ted with potted plants, smilax predomi-
mating, holly, and other pleasing en-
blems, all contributing TO the festive as
pect Of the surroundings. There were
ten or twelve tables In operation, play
being continued until eleven o'clock,
when tempting refreshments were
served.
At the conclusion of the lunch the
happy winners were laurelled. Mr..
Cecil Robinson kindly officiated as the
orator OF the evening, and dispersed the

oCounciI.

Last evening was the date for the
first regular meeting OF Council in the
new year, but the inclemency of the
weather and the attractions of
"Superba" were too much for the hon
orable members. At eight o'clock the
First Branch had six members and the
Second eight, and as the prospects were
blue it was decided to go 10 the Opera
House. As the procession filed down
stairs another First Branch member
was met coming NJ and another men,
Der Of the same body and one Of the
Second were found in the Engineers
Office, while still another First Branch
man and one of the Second men were
met at the outer door. This would have
made the First Branch a quorum and
have given the Second eleven members,
but 1t was too late. Between the City
Hall and the PostOifice two more Second
Branch members were met.
The next regular meeting is on the
26th.
