The commencement exercises of the Ounce
Orchard school were held Wednesday even
ing, June End The stage was beautifully
decorated and brilliantly lighted, and the
soft rays of light falling upon the bright
happy faces OF the scholars made most
beautiful scene. The music for the occa-
sion was furnished by choir, under direc-
ton of MIR. John Clagett Mrs Clagett pre-
sided at the organ. The entire program was
rendered in a manner which reflects great
credit upon the work of the teacher, each
piece giving evidence Of careful training
and painstaking study, which promises
much for the future of teacher and scholars

A School Closing.

The little village of Beane was aroused
from her sumbers on Wednesday after
noon, June 2nd, by one of the most inter.
esting school closing exercises held in this
community for some time The teacher,
Miss Maud Poole, deserves great credit for
the manner in which the program was rem
dered, and the way in which the children
acquitted themselves is something worthy
OF praise, considering the exercises were
Principally gotten up by their energetic
teachers and bright scholars after school
hours, thus taking very small portion of
time from their studies. There was large
attendance, two schools being present. The
school room was decorated with flowers
and flags. Miss Amanda Wilson presided
gracefully at the organ, rendering some very
fine music, which blending with the voices
OF the children filled the house with melody
The reports were read by the teacher. Mr.
Peyton Whalen read the program, which
was as follows

The Audubon Society.

The unlimited destruction of undomesti
Gated quadrupeds and of various mem Ders
OF the ieath cred kingdom has many years
awakened the sympathies OF our people, and
1t is pleasure to note that this sympathy
is resulting in laws and associations for their
protection.
Among the benevolent associations there
is none more worthy OF aid and encourage
ment than the Audubon Society,"" recently
organized In Washington, with some Of the
most worthy residents of the city at its head.
While II must be conceded that the aim of
this society Is the most praiseworthy, the
question arises, "Will their efforts in behalf
OF our songsters result in any material pro
lection OF themW
Countrymen, who from situation, are most
able to protect our birds give the matter no
attention, and often encourage their boys,
by whom the greatest slaughter is done, to
destroy them.
1t is becoming u custom, and a very
heathenish one too, u make collection of
bird eggs. Thousands of eggs are thus de-
stroyed by the more refined class" OF the
cities, aud thousands Of young birds are
captured by the "unre6ned boy" to eat, and
sometimes to cage Then there Is the natur-
alist, who, full of learning and refinement,
ASSASSIN mates the fairest and most beautiful OF
our songsters to mount. Again, there Ia the
pirate, who makes bird murder business
for what he can make out of ii. He realiz IS
from the love of the "rrtue,i" Tor aigrettes
and plumes. OF course laws for the pro-
lection of birds against the plume gatherer,
without any one to look after their enforce.
ment, would only add an impetus to the
slaughter. The only way to check the
brutality of such creatures Is TO hunt them
down with blood-hounds or organize vigi.
lance committee to deal with them.
Another reason why the Audubon Society
will meet with great difficulty in protecting
the birds is that they are very destructive of
early fruit OF course boys and men love
the sport oi shooting the birds on the cherry
trees, and their consciences are quieted by
the thought that they are right in protecting
their fruit. Now, We cannot expect the law
to prevent the farmer from protecting his
fruit, but it would seem that the bird should
0e allowed share Of the fruit, as his incur
sions against the insects 20 a great way in
the protection OF II. When birds are shot
on the cherry trees and two thirds of the
cherries are allowed to hang on the trees
and rot, IL looks very much az II the "pro.
lection" WAS sham, an TINS is most al
ways the case.
Let the influence of the Audubon Society
go forth to protect the birds, but rest assured
that it's pleadings can never have any effect
upon the heart that is not touched by the
morning song of the bereaved robin or mock
Ing bird calling for its slaughtered mate.

Rockville High SchOOl.-The closing
exercises of the Rockville High School took
place at the Opera House on Thursday night
of last week, and were attended by large
audience. The hall was handsomely orna-
mented with bunting and flowers and pre-
scented beautiful appearance. A pleasing
feature of the occasion was the rendition OF
a number of fine selections on the piano by
Misses Bessie Jones and Mary Trail. The
program of exercises consisted of original
essays, readings, addresses and vocal music,
and the manner in which the graduates &C
quilted themselves was alike creditable to
the pupils and their teacher. Mr.. E. Il Pret-
lyman, of the State Normal School, after
an appropriate address, distributed diplomas
TO the graduates. The graduating class was
composed as follows: Misses Fannie AmisS
Lottie Davis, Beulah White, Mabel Shaw
