the High School Literary Society was held
on Monday, the 1st inst. The president

commenced a critic was appointed to
criticise anything which happened •in the
programme which be thought was wrong.

of making those who take part prepare
their pieces, and if they snake a mistake,
when they hear of it they will not make
it again. The programme consisted of
two pieces of excellent music from the
Glee Club; readings from Miss. C.'.Van-
tassel and Mr.•F.Green; a recitation from
He -sr -is -Miller. A debate; -the subject of
was "Resoivdthattown life is._more _de-

ative side were W. Hale'.. and G. McDer-
