place at the Court House last

the room on both occasions was
crowded to suffocation; in fact,
there was hardly standing room
either night and hundreds re-
turned home, being unable to
obtain admission.
Prof. Hinton, in his usual
happy and eloquent STYLE referred
to the unfortunate close of the
school and the reason which
caused it, not forgetting that the
committee had this year made
costly Improvements to the al
