The pupils of Lyndon Academy and
graded school presented pleasing pro-

patriotic songs, Rotations and tag ex'
erciscs. Many of the parents and friends
of the school were present to enjoy the
exercises and though they were not quite
equal in number and interest to those
given at the pre-. Memorial of last year
they were all that ought to be expected
of the scholars so near the closing eXer-
cises of the school, which occur on Fri
day of this week, and which, with the
examinations, render the scholars work
