 The graduating exercises of the local school, the first in it's history, were held in Pythian hall last night and were largely attended. The program was a very fine one: at once interesting, entertaining and instructive. The pu- pills did not appear to be at all affected by that dreadful disease, stage nervous ness. They read, they recited they sang in a praiseworthy manner and well deserved the hearty applause which they received. The exercises showed that the pupils had been care. fully and thoroughly trained. And con sequently many were the words of praise which were bestowed upon their teacher, Mrs Philips. The graduates were eighteen in number and they look ed very sweet as they sat on the stage. They were a bunch of loyelinesS. Each and every number on the program was so interesting and so good that it would be unjust to pick out any certain one to praise. The histories and prophecies contained the usual witty references, humorous sayings, etc. Before present. ing the diplomas, Town School Visitor J. D. Chatfield delivered few words of reorganization, of advice and of en- enlargement to the class. It was neat speech. The program was as follows: "Herd Bells,'' chorus; roll call, William Wolf; salutatory, Helen Edwards; es- say, Territorial Growth,' Willie Gull len; essay, .sRed Cross" Mabel Dyson; violin solo, Albert Wolf; class will, Wal lace Dyson; essay, Trees" Cecelia Me ConneIl; piano and banjo duet, Misses Olive Dyson and Theresa McConnell; recitation, Painter of of Seville" Ed na Davis; class history, Fife Calkins; essay, .Longfellow," Susie Hotchkiss; piano duet, the Misses Calkins and Ed wards; esay, "Nineteenth Century," Theo Thomas; class prophecy.

 MT Spooner of New Haven, state sec retary Of the State Temperance union will deliver an address at the Grace NJ. E. church tomorrow night at o'clock instead of in the morning as it was to preach at the Third Congregational church in Waterbury tomorrow night but he will preach there tomorrow morning instead.
