A Pleasant Entertainment by the Pn? *p!ls?Conrt Mouse Crowded?Everybody Pleased. Last Thursday was a happy da^ for the children of the Abbo vilio High School. It was the dn\ wppointcd on which thoy were to laj aside for a time their newly acquirer stock of learned lore, with all the death less bards of Greece and Home. Eagerly have their joyous minds and heart! been longing for holiday, when the in trioacies of Grammar would be exchang ed for the delicacies of Gram'ma When the Fathers of History wouh givo place in their memories to Grand father and his sto: ies When the mack crel and the whales of the Atlantic am Arctic, would become far less interesting and important, than the minnow; and blue-cats of Long Cane and Liltli River; when they might illustrate tc the detriment of Squire Jones' corn field and cottou-patch, the geometries: truth that any side of a triangle is lest than the sum of the other, two sides when, in their reflective moments, tlic Provisions of the Missouri Compromise might receive fur loss consideration tliar those provisions which the domestic in stincts of an indulgent mother will always provide for her fond offspring: when the pistils pf Botany might fade from their memories, and the pistols the product of a peculiar civilization, might linger in their pockets as 4,a jo) forever." May these glad youths soon learn the important fact that mathematics is not the only field of labor in rook are to be extracted, and in which radi cats perplex and combinations bewilder. May they soon realize that while they have been engaged in the interpretation of imaginary quantities their parents and the Trustees, perhaps, in the discussion of negative result's, On Thursday evening one of the largest and most brilliant audience! ever assembled in the Court House witnessed the closing exercises of the school. The Court Boom was filled sc that there was hardly standing room for the eager crowd. The stage, which occupied the whole space within the Bar, was artfully arranged to represent a secluded dell in the dark an.i secret shades of the forest, with mossy bowers, creeping ivy, and clustering vines, iiine, oak and cedar trees and moss-covered rocks wore skillfully placed here and there on the stage, which was covered with green leaves and grasses. All these with the festoons of evergreens and richest floral decorations made the scene one of surpassing loveliness. After the larger hoys of the school, assisted by Mrs. Coogler, had discoursed sweet music to the great delight of the audience, Mr. Hodges, the Principal k of the school, caiue forward and spoke in substance as follows : Ladies and gentlemen : The exorcises ~"*V>h tho part of the Abbeville High School are about to begin ; It is proper forme to say before wo begin, that we have not prepared nn elaborate and expensive entertainment, an entertainment that has in any way interfered with the legitimate work of the School. The boys of tho School will not participate in the exercises of the evening. The girls alone will furn:sh you a pleasant evening's entertainment of music, poetry, flowers and beauty. , I would say, here, in their behalf, that it is expected that all will give them as groat quiet and attention as possible under the circumstances. To an Abbeville audience, I surely need not snv anything more, at I a. al " i! r_ _ ii'tiM uo vo uie jjnipur cunsiui'ran on ior children?especially girls. If you shall bo pleased with our entertainment in the least degree boar in mind that your thanks are dua to Col. H. T. Wardlaw, ,to Mra. Coogler, to the girls of the AbBW^beville high school, and especially Rie they due to your most oxcellent and indefatigable teacher Miss White. The exercises which we offer in return for your encouraging presence tonight consist of a cantata, calied the Flower Queen, in which the Flowers went in a secluded dell to chooso a Queen. A person discontented with y the world seeks in the same place, rep tirement from its carcs and responsibilities. The flowers engage in an animated contest as to who shall be Queen. Not being able to decide among themsolvcs they agree to leave it to the Recluse, who decides in favor of the Rose. Joyfully they all agree to the decision of the Recluse, and merrily sing of love and duty. The Recluse recoives instruction from the incident and resolves to return again to the duties and responsibilities in which his fellow-creatures are engaged. At a given signal the stago wa> ? crowded as if by magic, with a company of thirty-six girls representing the Flowers; each dressed in whito and holding wands garlanded with the flower she represented, and singing the sweet chorus 44 We are the Flowers." For t few moments we .gaze enchanted at thif sceno of indescribable beauty.

Chorus Flowers Anoi her Commencement. it was our pleasure, last week, to at tend the commencement exercises o the Kasley High School, of which Prof I). C. Lake is Principal. It being our first trip to this town, w< were surprised to find the people sc wide awake especially on educationa matters. They have a largo and coin modious school building much bcttei than is found in a majority of largei towns. The school is attended by nbou one hundred and thirty-five pupils, va , riously advanced, as regards scholarship - The commencement exercises were o t the usual nature, but far above the aver age in their rendition. The address ber fore tho school was delivered by Hon . W. P. Prince, of Dahlonega, (3a., ant was an earnest pica for the English Lan. guage in preference to all others. Wc Touml the people thoroughly iiv ( terested in the construction of the Carolina, Cumberland (Jap and Chicag< ltiilroad, having voted the tax in the town without a dissenting vote, anc they hope soon to vole it in their township. Wc formed many pleasant acquaintances while there, and anion; them we would mention, particularly Mr. Gossett, one of the editors of the Easley Jfcs.scnyer, to whom we arc indebted for numerous kindnesses. We left for home on Friday, vin Greenville, stopping with that friend ol ( the people, Gapt. W. It. White, of the , Exchange Hotel, where we were handsomely entertained. As long as Capt 1 White keeps the Exchange, which, by i the way, has been renovated and very [ much improved lately, it is useless tc i tell Abbeville people where to stop when in Greenville. We returned or Saturday and soon resumed the "even , tenor ol our way." I > Happy MnrriaKe. The marriage of Mr. John A. Devlin i and the accomplished Miss Lola Galloway, on Wednesday evening at D o'clock, formed a most interesting and at^-active |nuiuuu iu iiiu mcrary lesnviues oi Commencement week. The parlor ol Mrs. (Jullowny was suitably decorated with historic portraits, elegantly arrung&l ns if to witness the happy event. The company of invited guests, cmbracing nil ages, seeiucd to cheer them by their presence, and, at the appointed hour, the ushers, led by Mr. Robert Galloway and laly, followed by the three children ol Mr. DeVlin. filing to tlic left and the three HJiftin children" filing to the right, prepared the brilliant audience to behold, in elegant costume, the coming bride and groom, advancing with clasped hands to Hymen's altar where the officiating clergyman, Rev. W. Ij. l'ressley, in one of his best veins, pronounced the ceremony in such sweet and elegant words, that all seemed to feel that a happy couple had been united in one and a lovely household had been reorganized. Rev. II. T. Sloan, 1). 1>, now most feelingly invoked (iod's blessing on this union. The greetings and hearty congratulations of the entire party were of the most cordial nature, and the supper that followed, served up with all the elegance of the culinary t art and the latest stj-le, would have done i honor to a roynl banquet. As the clock struck 12, the flow of vocal and instrumental music ceased, the Chinese lights iu the lanterns, that'decorated the front of the dwelling/went out, and the happy guests wended their way homeward. Unique. During the war the Rev. W. II, Hackcl, now rector of Trinity Church i lived below Columbia. At his home . were several families for protection, , whose male relatives were in the army When Sherman's Army passed every . article of value was stolen. Party after party of "bummers" and ''foragers" , passed and stopped and searched foi j something to steal. At length it grew . very monotomous, and as a squad was t about to depart Mr. llanckel said,to the k officer in charge, "Now that you have } stolen everything, 1 want to ask a fayoi of you. It is very disagreeable tc ) have your crowds of rude and rough . soldiers prowling all over the house ir , soarch of plunder. I wish you woujd give me a certificate that everything haf [ been stolen." Whereupon the doughty t warrior made the following unique J epistle : "This will certify that a detachmem r of the foragers wore here and have ta 1 ken the valuables." C. J. Radkn, Captain 1 Ik'g.
