EDITORS BULLETlN:-Friday ev-
enlng, June 9TH, witnessed a very
interesting and enjoyable concert,
which closed the school at this
place. The school room being too
small to afford accommodation, a
stage was erected in front of the
building, and seats arranged upon
the grounds. Though the moon
hid her face and refused to shine,
yet the streams of light which pro-
ceeded from the many lanterns, dot
ted here and there, dispelled the
darkness and Luna's rays was scarce
ly missed. The audience was large
and seemed to appreciate the efforts
being made to entertain. The
programme consisted of exercises by
the little folks, which were well
rendered; the presentation of plays,
both romantic and comic, by the
older pupils assisted by some of the
young people of the town. The
pupils did credit to themselves and
to their instructor. Vocal and in
strumental music was interspersed
throughout the programme. An
address by Prof. Stricklin, con-
tanning many words of advice and
encouragement to his pupils,
brought the pleasant evening to a
close. For ten months the Valley
Home School has been under the
supervision of Prof. Stricklin, and
it is with regret we learn that he
will not be with us next term. In
few days he leaves for Texas,
where he intends to reside in the
future. His friends wish him un-
bounded success IN his new field of
labor.
