One Of the most pleasing entertainments
recently given in this town by home tai
ent was that held at the Town Hall on
Monday evening by the children of the
Female Public School, under the manage
ment of Misses Alice and Ellen j. Harper,
teachers. Certainly not only the little
ones who took part deserve the highest
commentator, but also the patient and
efficient instructors who trained the chill
dren for the entertainment. The "Wel-
come Chorus" by the entire school, the
Flag Drill and the Good Night Drill'
were remarkably well executed and elicit
ed rounds of applause. The farce entitl
ed Murder Will Out was prominent
feature of the exercises and all OF the young
ladies who took part played their roles to
the delight of the whole audience.
Mrs. Coffman very charmlngly furnish
ed the musical part of the entertainment.
The program was as follows:
