PERRYyILLE, February %. 1898.
The memorial exercises held in the Hall
on Washington's birthday were a great
success and the entertainment was greatly
enjoyed.
The Stars and Stripes floated over The
school building where were seated 115
scholars A life like portrait of Washing
ton hung over the teachers desk and in the
centre were pictures of The patriots who
took an active part in our struggle. The
black boards on the sides were well filed
with the choicest quotations concerning
Washington and the blessings of liberty.
The exercises began at half past ten
O'Clock. The school, assisted by Rev. Geo
Coulson, sang "My Country It's of Thee, -
which was followed by one of the scholars
in the reading of an incident III Washing
tons life. The school sang the Star Spang-
led Banner. then sketch of the life of its
author was read. Miss Sallie Nickle rend-
cred in very pleasing manner an ode to
Washington. Tue school sang ga Hun
dred Years to Come" which was carefully
reviewed by Rev. Geo. w. Coulson his
retrospection of the past and the many Won
| derful inventions that await US in the next
| century, if We judged from the past would
be marvellous. While it was not the priv
ilege of every one 10 be d Franklin or an
Ellison, he could form a character. He
related an incident in the life of DIR. Patton
of Princeton College, which fully illustrated
his remarks. Theu the reading of Barbary
| Fritchie by Miss Mary Patton, during
which a silence pervsded the school, Perry
| vile can boast of four scholars who are
relatives of Barbara Fritcbie, whose parents
| lived IN Frederick city during the raid OF
Lee. This family denies the course pur-
sued by Barbara. Though any miles
| interviewed between Frederick City and the
poet he was such an ardent lover of freedom
| of all Gods creatures he took up the saying
and wrote poem that has made both Bar
bara's and Whittier's names associated in
the history of our late rebellion. After a
few historical questions, with vim the
school, led by Rev. Geo. w. Coulson, sang
'All Hail the Power OF Jesus Name" and
| the doxology, and the morning session o
the school closed, and the second annivers-
airy of Washington's birthday under thu

America at Harris Academy of
Music BaltimOre.

The many thousands of Miryllnders
who saw america" in the Auditorium
at Chicago during the Worlds Fair served
to thoroughly advertise it as great
spectacular production, and curiosity to
see it when it will be produced at Harris
Academy of Music in Baltimore, next
month, will no doubt crowd that great
theatre to its utmost capacity. The play
purports to tell the history of America in
a series of great stage pictures. The
prologue relates to the voyage OF Column bus
and ends with the spectacle o f his trlumphal
return to Barcelona. The first nd second
acts tell the story of Colonial times; the
romances and merrymaking and dangers of
those early days are exhibited, together
with such stage pictures of the Revolution
ary period as Paul Rsvere's ride, the bi5tle
of Lexington, Washington crossing the
Delaware and the Surrender of CORVALLIS
at Yorktown; the second act concluding
with a III aguiicent Temple of Peace in
which the grand ballet of the Arts and
Sciences is given. The third act opens
with brilliant and novel ballet of Amer
can inventions, indicating by tableaus i'm
portant inventions and discoveries Then
follow pictures of pioneer life in the West
and of the War of the Rebellion, ending with
the arrival of President Lincoln, amid the
| cheers of the troops and of the emancipated
slaves. The final scene represents the
Triumph of Columbia" in a gorgeous
spectacle, introducing representatives of all
nations and of the several states and terri
tories.
The Schaeffer troupe is agliu special
| feature of the show. Extraordinary feats
of those skilful acrobats, performed with
unerring certainty, are the most delightful

Another Earthquake.

Greece had hardly begun to calm
down after the recent earthquakes be-
fore another shock has wrought death
and destruction in many parts of the
country. At 900 o'clock last night
during the usual Friday epitaphion
procession in the cathedral at Athens,
violent shock occurred, that seeming
" shook the building to its very found
ations. The duration of the shock was
fifteen seconds. The cathedral was
crowded with devotees, who, when the
shock began, were panic-stricken. They
started 10 make a rush for the doors,
but were partly Gained by NJ. Tricou-
pis, the prime minister, who was one OF
the worshippers.
Every exit from the cathedral was
hurriedly thrown open and the people
dispersed, excitcdly discussing the oc-
currence. There is no doubt that had
not NJ. Tricoupis acted as ne did that
the crowd would have become wild
with fear and made rush that would
perhaps have caused the loss of many
lives.
In the meantime VI. BoupnldcS,
minister of the interior, hurried to the
central telegraph Office to get informa-
ton as to the extent of the earthquake.
He learned that it had been felt through
out the country. including the islands
of SYRIA and Zanta, and that immense
damage had been done. The shock
was felt with the greatest severity at
Thebes and Atalanti both of which
places were extensively damaged by
the last shocks. Both the cities were
completely destroyed, not a single
house being left standing. Incalcula-
Bile damage was done also at LAMA,
Laris.a, Volo, Chalcs and Patras.
At Lamia the walls of the prison fell
down, and many of the uninjured
prisoners made their escape in the
frightful confusion prevailing. In ad-
dillon to the many persons rendered
homeless by the previous shocks, there
are now thousands of others who will
have to depend on the government for
shelter and sustenance.
There is little doubt that there has
been great loss of life.
