Nv duty to the FARMER has been me-
elected Of late, but, you know, We were
in the old year, and all the good reso-
lutions which paved the first part were,
- usual, entirely forgotten.
Our town turned out In full force last
Tuesday evening to witness the exhibit
ton and New Years Eve festival Of
Mrs. Dyer's public school for girls.
cannot imagine q more fitting tribute
to the old year, or better prospects FOL
the new, than efforts Of this .0rt, de-
voted to the great and common cause
of education, and feel sure that I bnt
voice the sentiments of our community
when say that Tuesdays exhibition
wasa model of its kind.
lie opening address was made by
LITTLE Miss Eugen Sole. and was In.
deed q choice bit of orat0ry.

young ladies', wa. the poetry OF motion
March, by NJ. Muguicr, aud the music

clusion to the first part.

The song of ssThe Red, White ant
Blue" by the whole school, was quit
thrilling, especially at the moment o
