The MASONIC FEsTIvAL.-ln accordance with
previous arrangements, the members Of Trinity
Lodge, No. q, T. & A. NJ, together with in
yited guests, met at Masonic Hall, in this place
on Tuesday evening last, where the ceremony of
Public Installation of Officers was gone through

several other odes of the Order, and succeeded

ally the case in promiscuous asscmblages. At 0
o'clock, all hands proceeded to the Union Hotel
where excellent supper was in waiting and
which was duly appreciated by all who partool1
of the bounteous repast. After the refreshment
came dancing and we do not hesitate to say that
never before was there party in this place where
everyone appeared to enjoy themselves as well
as at this one. Mock modesty and reserve were
thrown Off and each seemed to vie with the
other as TO who should contribute most to the
general happiness of the occasion. Dancing
was kept up until A. M. and all left for their
homes we'll satisfied.

Every person should cultivate a
nice sense of hooor, In a hundred
different ways this fitting adjunct oi
the true lady or gentleman is often
tried. For instance, one is a guest
in family where, perhaps, the do
mestic machinery does notrun smoth-
". There is sorrow In the house
unsuspected by the outer world.
Sometimes it is a dissipated son,
whose conduct is a shame and grief to
his pearents; sometimes a relative,
whose eccen ntricities and peculiarities
are a cloud at home. Or, worst of all,
husband and wife may not be in ac-
cord, and there may be often bitter
words spoken, and harsh recIimina-
tions. In any of these cases the guest
is in honor bound to be blind and
deaf, so far as people without are con-
cerned. Ifa gentle word within can
do good. it may we'll be said, but to
go forth and reveal the shadow of an
unhappy secret to any one. even your
nearest friend, is an act of indelicacy
and meanness almost unparalleled.
Once in the sacred precincts of any
homo, admitted to its privacy, shar-
ing its life, all that you see and hear
should become a sacred trust. It is
as really contemptible to gossip about
such things as it would be to steal the
silver or borrow the books and for

formation as to the condition OF the sevefai
schbdls furthet than Is indicated by the above
statement For the last two months my entire
time has been taken up In the High School. 1
have heard nine fecitatiohs daily in addition
o,doing much other work connected with the
schools. In the time given me fof supervision
during the first two months, could do little
more than become partially acquainted with
the wdn,s Of The schools / found the great
want to be grdddtion. To grade the school
will require much time and labor. The time
had being insufficient no systematic attempt
las been made towafd gfadaton. The work,
alsoi OF examining new pupils was necessarily
put upon the teachers who did the work as
well as they could but am satisfied that we
are little better Off in this respect than at the
beginning Of the year


To make the gtadaiion in any degree perfect
it will be necessary for the Superintendent to
examine each pupil in the several schools once
Dt twice. This of course could not be done
and yet do lie work required Of me In the
High School hence the request that princi-
pal for the High School be provided.


As to the degree Of progress made by the
pupils in the several studies, cannot speak
positively except for the High School. Here
the progress, with but few exceptions, has been
much more rapid than had any reason to ex-
pect Some of the classes have done during
the te.rn pat of tie work Of tr9 terms. In
those instances where the work Of the term has
not been accomplished the pupils were not
fully prepared to enter upon the High School
course. One of the most encouraging and
gratifying facts in regard to the High School
is, that the pupils are looking forward to the
end OF the course of study. And with this in
view are applying themselves to their studies
with great deal of diligence and interest l
believe therefore that only proper management
and the fostering care OF the Board are Tequir-
cd to build up High School that will be an
honor TO our village.


Judging from the reports Of the monthly ex.
aminatiOns. / think | am iustlul in saying
that good work has Ueen done in most, if not
all, the schools. You are aware that at the end
of the sixth week four of the schools changed
teachers, all for the better, and some aeei5edty
for the better. These changes retarded their
progress for Il time, but all are now doing WE'LL

out the course OF study. Drawing, Object Les!
sons, Writing, History, &C. have been wholly
or in part neglected for want Of time. Gradai
ton will remedy this also.


cannot close this part of my report without
commencing the teachers for their attention
and faithful efforts in behalf of their several
schools, and would recommend them to the
further favor of the Board

We unintentionally did injustice to the Collec-
tor of State taxes for Wilmington Hundred, in
our issue of few days ago, in stating that he
had given no notice of the time of payment OF
said taxes. The writer Of the item had seen no
notice, and had taken for granted that there had
been none published. 1t seems, however, that
Mr. Ochetree's notice had appeared in some Of
the journals of this city, and that plumber OF
small hand-biis had been posted about town.
We make this correction with pleasure, in justice
to the collector.


1t is our duty, however, to remind Mr.. ocheltree
that there is much complaint among tax payers
that they are not properly informed of the time
and place of the payment of this State tax, and
in consequence that fines for non-payment too
often find their way into the pocket of the col
lector. This may be from defect in the law
and may not but at all events the public will
hail with satisfaction the retirement of the
present collector, in the hope that any change
will be for the better.

Gather together your great and good
Iy company, who are interested in the
grandchild in your own house, and iet
us help each to better understanding Of
the meaning and richness ofthis relation.
We will not begin with the creation, or
the delugo, nor undertake to give his.
tory of grandfatheFs and grandchildren
since the day of Enoch; nor will we go
into the philosophy of parental love, that
is the key to the whole matter. We
know that we love our children, first of
all, from a certain instinct, because they
are ours; and we know that while with
the lower animals this love ceases with
the dependence of the young animal up
on the parent for aliment, with the human
being the love deepens as the relation OF
parent and child is ripened and strength
encd by growing sympathy and mutual
service. Now this very affection that we
have for our own children does not rest
in them alone, as they grow in years and
knowledge and rise into youth and matu-
rity. We still yearn for little child to
love, and there is a void in the house
where there is none Good Providence
has benignly met this need of our nature
by ordaining that when our children
grow up their place shall be supplied, or
rather truly filled, by children OF theirs,
and so the child is not set aside, but rath,
er restored in the grandchild.


do not exactly know how to analyze
the kind of affection that is so ready TO
cling to a grandchild. we love that lit,
tie fellow at once, without waiting for
moralist or theologian to define the feel
ing or urge the duty. He is blood of our
blood, and bone OF our bone, and in the
form that most expresses dependence and
wins protection. He lis the child Of our
child, and we love him for our sake, for
his mothers or fathers sake, as we'll as
for his own sake. We see in him not
only himself, but the whole world of af-
fection with which he is related. In that
boy or girl in our daughters arms we
see as in a mirror the face OF our daughter
when she was in her mothers arms and
that mothers face smiles again upon us
with new grace, whether from the earthly
home or from the heavenly mansion.


Then this child is nearer our heart fol
being an interpreter Of the plan of God
for our human life. lie shows us how il
is that God is ever educating us for him
SELF and calling us to live in fresh and
undying affection by ever setting, like
Jesns, little child in the midst OF us. II
we have only our own children to love
the time will come when they will grow
up and be full of new interests and cares
that may come between them and oul
hearts When these children of ours
have children their affections are softened
and their hearts are quickened towards
us and ours toward them by this new at
traction, that sends child into the fam
lily not to be the rival of any, but the
friend of all.-REv. SAMUEL OsGooD.
