tl :il Nimshew Correspondence. condf.Nimsiiew, Nov. 2d, 1862.Mr. Editor:—I laving read, i:i your last teiissue, a slight notice of an exhibition, which .S.took place in this town on the IS Oct., and bethinking that justice was not done to the chil- Cidren. or teacher, in those remarks, having been Gc11 present on that occasion, I take the libertv of injw ** addressing a few comments. sel*' Tu the first place, Mrs. Hamlin's school, ste which she lias been teaching for the last six opmonths, consisted of seven pupils, all young, the eldest thirteen, the youngest six.* Vet theoe eh... w. exhibition was one of the best I ever witnessedin the countrv. A short description mav not . n - ,, * mibe unacceptable :‘ A platform was erected, on which the children sat. all neatly dressed. The entertainment m opened with a song from the whole school, and “1=as their voices mingled harmoniously, you■» J mmight well look at their sweet young faces anditsthetosay, “of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” ^ -The opening address, spoken by Miss CoraRugh, was prettily and modestly delivered, fol-- | lowed by reading, spoiling, and exercises of ^ ** different kind?, all showing excellent discipline.?• and a “ master hand after which several r very pretty dialogues, sjngle pieces, spoken by lov s Mr. Hugh's, Mr. Marks’, and Mr. Butcher's up t children, interspersed with some beautiful to '• songs, made up the evening's entertainment, ant s Before the presentation of the flag by Mrs. II., e and the reply by Mr. L., the “ Star Spangled arnDGli- Banner” was sung in full chorus. Aubrey° 7 • ; FfIT- Hugh, a b y of six. waving the flag very patri- TbI #* j oticailv all the time. When the presentationwas over, all sa*ig “ Red, White and Blue —wa• ■ Miss l\ Rugh then delivered a parting ad pe y dress,—when the school, in conclusion, sang ba- Good Night,” which concluded the exhibition. The room was filled with spectators.and all ax pressed their gratification and de*clared they had never witnessed anything of cm the kind more interesting. In a country like this, where education is considered of so littletorimportance, and teachers so little appreciated. pn I think this notice may encourage both pupils sueand teachers in their efforts to improve andembellish the mind. *raSpectator.ne?
