Montgomery, who gave evidences of

ability. Too much could not be said
either Of the excellence Of rendition
OF the program or Of the thought and
skill that has been expended by the
| teacher upon her pupils. The rondi-
ton throughout bore such testimony
| to conscientious labor on the part of
! the instructor as to make supcrflu-
Gus any other commentator. Mrs.
| Montgomery and her pupils are to be
| Jointly congratulated upon the ad-
mirable success that their entertain
ment proved to be. An interesting
! feature OF the evening was the pre-
senatiOn, by T.. l.. HerndOn, Esq, Of
a medal from Mrs. Montgomery to
the pupil who had during the entire
year shown the greatest degree Of
proficiency and Improvement, this
