Editor of the Monitor.-Please allow
me space to thank the friends who
gathered at the M church in Crafts
bury on the evening of Dec. IA and in
such hearty manner manifested
their kindly feeling toward the Acad-
envy and myself. The position in
which [ have lately been placed is
of privilege rather than of sacrifice
That SO many should have thought of
it as one of sacrifice, and in such a
kind, generous manner expressed
their desire to share in the sacrifice
was perhaps more surprising to me
than to any one else. None the less
do l appreciate the kindness express
ed in word and deed and especially,
as believe it will result in charging
the interest already felt by the peo-
pie of southern Orleans County in
their Academy.
The closing exercises of the term
will be held in the Cong. church Fri
day evening, the 21st inst. They will
consist wholly of specimens of the
work done by the students during the
term, in essays, declarations, singing
and Indian Club drill. The public are
cordially invited. Respectfully,
r. @. Noodle.
