The lyceum in the village schoolhouse
last Tuesday evening by the village
school, was not only interesting but in
structive. The question was, Resolved,
"That iron is more useful than wood to
the human family" Miss Orsina Foss
on the affirmative and Miss Simms on
the negative. Both made strong argu-
ments in favor of their positions, backed
Nth fine display of talent on both
sides so evenly, that the board of decis-
ION, consisting of G. B. Allen, Prof Par
rim, E Gallup and c. Foss, were unable
to decide the question. The President,
Miss Barcombe, then presented the
question to the audience for decision,
which settled the question in the mega
tive. All did themselves great credit in
arguments. We have the promise of
Miss Rooney and Miss Barcombe of an
other entertainment on the last evening
Of their present term of school. So
may it be.
