The pupils attending ^jhe school in District No. 7, had an Exhibition in the Floral Hall,-on the evening of Friday last, and it will long be ' remembered with pleasure by all who were near enough to 'witness the proceedings. From what i we had heard, we expected to' Bee rather a J^Ege^andience, and to have a pretty good ^Jrest '-jijnfv we tBust'^ejfcss thai : tt&i number in attendance, and the richness of the treat furnished by the scholars, far exceeded our >^w&^.-.©fc»^rtog^e Hall, at half- past six, it was so crowded that we had some difficulty in getting near the stage^ and by about seven o'clock, every part of the building was crowded to excess: in*J»«V the people were so num&rpus that they seemed actually jammed together. We think the number present was over 1,OQO, and we learn that a great many were unable to gain admittance. The arrangements! of the Exhibition were good, and reflect much credit on those who planned tbem. At the commencement of the proceedings, when the curtain, was raised, a lovely spectacle was witnessed by the audience—that of,all the scholarsVtanding in a'group on the stage, the youngest being in front; and to hear them sing, in a correct and spirited manner, \School Begun,\ was really charming. Much judg- ment was displayed in the selection of pieces for the scholars; the right piece was chosen for the right pupil. They bad no prompter during the whole of the exercises; and yet, 60 thoroughly had they mastered the parts as- signed them, that there was- not one failure, and in ..ace instance only was there any hesi- tancy in delivery. This\ when we consider the Mr. Goodell, in\ reply to the above Address, spoke as follows: .DEAR PUPILS:—I had not thought to have spoken the farewell word to you to-night, leaving that until we Shall b* assembled to ; morrow in our school-room:; out this unex- pected token of your regard and affection for me,-in presenting this- beautiful and sacred volume, forbidstbat I should permit the exer- cises to dose, without a word pt acknowledg- ment from me : yet I know not 'wh* to say.— Langiftge is inadequate to express the intensity of the emotions which thrill through my soul. Accept, dear pupils, my thanks for your faith- fulness and devotion, not only during the past winter, but the preceding terms .that I have been with you; and especially will you accept my gratitude for this invaluable present. It shall fee treasured as a relic ; as a valuable memento of the time I have spent with you; as a token of your appreciation of my efforts in your behalf; of your friendship and regard for me. Long may the golden links of that bright chain which now entwines so firmly around our hearts, lemain unsevered. May no dissensions, no strifes, no coldness or dark sus- picions, ever rise to, mar or weaken our friend- ship. May the memory of to-night ever be in our recollections' a bright spot.— \Long may this sqene remain la memory's hallowed train, Like some sweet fairy strain,\ whispering to us of the past; telling us of the joyous hours we have spent in. District No. 7 ; of the friendships there formed, of the achievements attained, the success won. erably damaged. Our villa*^ Fire Company, must be on the alert',, now that there is a rival company, composed ot ladies, else, perhaps, their laurels will be taken from- tbem.
