. Major in the State Militia. Young
Houck gained some uotoriety as .
military man while serving in II
American-Spanish war. His litt@
spat with Col. Badorf and Lieut.. Cot.

A pleasant entertainment hy the
Juvenile classes took place at st. Vim
cents Academy last Sunday. The
entertainment consisted of Rotations,
reading of compositions, essays, Sc
lections in music, etc. Two very
pleasing features were the recitations
in physiology and geography. One
thing a be said in favor OF the
scholars, and that is that they lacked
the b%ashfulness often displayed by
children when appearing before the
public, and at the same time were not
overly forward. This speaks well for
the training received at the hands OF
the Sisters, and the advancement oil
the scholars in their various studies
is giving the Academy a name tina
NAV well be envied by other lnstltu-
tons of learning.
