himself transported into tome Pari
sian salon, surrounded by the grace
and beauty of the French Capital.
Later in the evening an English dia
logue was performed, In which Miss
Ju|ia H«jtor admirably sustained the
roll assigned her.
The musics] exercises were profit
fiueccessfully conducted, with
the simple exception af the
time being rather fast, but
that may be accounted for in the
trepidation felt by the children in ap-
l>earing before Bitch a houseful of
folks. Several young ladies, whose
names we did not ascertain, acquitted
themselves in a manner highly cred
itable, Among the younger puuijj
Miss Maggie Crankshaw and Miiu
Julia Hector, deserve especial men
tion.
The distribution of prizes was not
the least entertaining port of the pro
gramme. Between W50 «nd *300
worth of chotoe volumes wseiy awpfd-
ed, and the recipiepta looked in every
way worthy* . n
The presentation of the gold medal
to Miss Emma Bntt^ was a pleasing
incident This young lady is the
first graduate of the school, and in
leaving it she carries with her the love
and admiration of her companions, as
well as the kind sisters. Father 0’-
Reily made a well-timed presentation
address Mias Butts also reoeived the
first wreath for general conduct
Her valedictory was pleasing, and
clothed in elegant diction.
The exercises were prolonged to a
late hour in the night, and the schol
ars and their friends had a most agree
able evening.
This school is qne of the best con
ducted and most success^] in the city.
It is rapidly taking a front rank, an^
will, no doubt, soon have to enlarge
its capacities to meet the. extended la
bor it will be required to perform.

On the excursion to Gainesville

to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
On the way, a number of mm
rushed into the ladies’ cat; and some
of them took seats. Mom ladies
coming in, the conductor requested
one of the gentlemen to give up Ms
seat The young gent got. his beak
up, and drew his pistol. A scbffle
ensued, during which quite a “flight
of doves” was witnessed. The affair
ended without material damage, how
ever, and the cry was, “all quiet along
the Air-Line.”
