On S Thursday 'evening the, Hall was ! full, but mot so inconveniently crowded.^ j i ' ('I 1 r'| ' j, ' : We do but echo the c6mmon sentiment of all present when we de.clare that' the High. School on this occasion excelled,jitselfi Its reputation was h;igh before, ;it is higher now. The ntusic, both vop^l and instrument., was of a superior order; The speaking was high- ly creditable, in <*hitjh Master Cyrus Barker bore the palm; but the reading—\t was the reading ;^hich epccjlled, wc were about to say, anything we ever heard. The present gener- ation of.public men are-miserable .poor read- ers. Not one in teii of us can read credita- bly, but this glaring'jlefect will ijpt appiearin our successors. Wb must think the • first/ premium should be awarded to thej girl who read the piece entitled "The Boyi and the An- gel," although "Thi^ Building of: the Ship" would-coinpete.stnjrigly for the; prize, and, "The Unforgoiten Foe," some think, was not inferior to either;, while! others give the preference to "The ^Tay Queen." ,.j j The elegance a«d exquisife taste displayed in arranging the drapery ofthe young misses in the tableaux, and in some of tlie 'collo- quies, was surpassingly fines. Not to speci- fy others, the tableau "Lalla Rookh" was equal to anything,we ever isaw j in Chicago, where tableaux have been qiuite jthe rage .fo; some time past, "Gifts of the Fairy Queen" exhibited th| beauty, elegance and gorgeous- ness of oriental scenery. . j .; But the gem of the evening, the crown of the entire exhibition] was the Recitation en- titled "Mission of ttye Spirits." The benefi- cent spirits of nature Vere represented ..in the following order I Spirit <^f Light, j " the Woo^s, " " Waters, •" Flowers^ j "Song, : j' " Music,: jVl';:, " Darkness • (j frrank Richards. • • Mary Richards, i Mary Gregory. . Ella Giflford. i . Lucy Harwood. ). Alma, Webster. Jennie Wheeler. The beautiful costume of each lady corres- ponded to the "spirit" I she personated, and the mission of each ^'spirit" was set' forth in an original essay, composed^ and recited by the lady personating it.

A fciw weeks since, Mr. Frank Gilbert-inserted a no- tice in this paper that the paper mill at Clin- ton. was for sale cr r,ent. We accompanied the notice with an account of the property- Almost immediately he began to receive,let- ters jof inquiry upon the subject, a'nd He is nowjconcluding an arrangement with a party from Milwaukee, who takes the property for five years on -satisfactory terms. . ■ f ly—to this we sliall alHide ''again. ^ "At tlie same time he gave notice ithat -Fie wits agent for the sale.of farms in this vicini- ty. Upon this subject, also, he has received responses—one from a gentleman in I^ew York city.: ■ Now, some persons, who don't understand tho ways of the world, are ready to ask h<j>w did people in Milwaukee, New York, come to see' the Elgin Gazette ? The. answer is this: We send one copy of-vthis paper j|o Milwaukee in exchange with the leading pa- paper in that city. /Some gentleman Who wishes to get into business, goes into! that office and looks over his exchanges, to see what is offered here and there. Again, we send our paper to the great ad- vertising officesi in the Eastern citties. ItJ(is there put on file with hundreds of. others, and is examined by men wishing to buy ,or sell; and thus becomes a means of exchange. Will wise men take the hint! .

SVhen it was started it was supposed to be a cheat, like a thousand, other catch- penny concerns; butEvarts has lived down all suspicion and become type of the leading booksellers and pubfisberjs of ttic county. How he h|is done it appesirs in ' the prcface to his catalogue, from which wc take the fol- lowing extracts : . |v.j; ■A ,||v/;"|i// In 1854, I commencerl this business— which, indeed I have created—and bringing^ industry, punctuality, andlprobity fo aid me soon'had a number of iniitators. Whenever an employment is worthy jof being imitated, there is good reason t? .beflievje that /jit has obtained a certain degree; df success.. I felt that .the world was large jenough'for all of us, and that the ultimate and permanent success must be his who. would devo'te himself most earnestly to merit it. Since I commenced Jpsijiess, 1 have sold ;over $2j000;000 of An^rican: and. English',; books, and distributed; it least half ,that amount in gifts.: The j pjurchaser ordering anyijjbook whatsoever, no matter, where or by whom published, is supplied with it at tfie ordinary retail price-^also receiving a gift,' varying in value of .ioursey but oyer and above the.book itself at the- usual jselling price. Many purchasers, I idare say; think more of the prize than jof the bork ; bnt I know also tbat^books refceiyed. thus ! sire! not thrown aside. In each family will be; found one reader, or more ;. and thus is kYiowlcdge spread, and a taste for intellectual enjoyment fostered and extended/• ; //. ;'. /-/- ; • The success which:has rewarded me, and which .will iadtrce mo to continm; /in the straight course which I have trod from the first, has been mainly owing, l am proud to acknowledge, to the pti\)lic belief that; I deal with fairness and liberality. 11. is. not prac- ticable to command success—but every fair dealer may deserve it.' Upon this principle I have heretofore proceeded, and upon it I mean to continue.- .! X ''j offuture favors—I- conclude" wit,h assuring my friends and' the public that I am their faithful servant. • t V . V " iWc can!safely recommend this house to any one wisKupg to order a book.

Mirsha! considers it his main bilsines to dog the steps of the wretched fugitives from tlie yjlest op. pression the sun ever shone upon, and drag them back to. their bondage. . We are willing, barely willing, that the' atrocious features: of that law should be executed, when the necessity cannot be honorably avoided, but we expect the rriinisters of the law to do ;t in the same manner th ey distrain' for debt, or attend a miserable culprit on'the scaffold iarid fasten-the Beatli knot. fhese fugitives are guilty of no crime, and 'the man who shows alacrity, in hunting them jap .and fast- ening the manacles upon them is a' brute, and not fit to hold an office undfef Mr. Lin- colni It , is a curious . fact that Marshal Hoy'ne, a Southern man, under a pro slavery .administration, allowed some hundreds of these poor wretches to remain j in. Chicago, and now this infamous' official of an anti- slavery President, signalizes his advent into office by seizing a family in thej most brutal manner and hustling them off to a slave pen in the South ; and by His. threats ibanishmg hundreds of the peaceable citizens of Chica- go from their homes. All this will avail the slaveholders nothing." Now that tho dispo- sition is- kijiownj fugitives Will tie taken care of. It is<orily a kjuestion of whjer^ they shall' live—whether in.

' We do not approve -of rowdyisni at any time, but we think there is no more con- temptible imposition practiced upon the American public, khan, this attempt to palm off Miss Dresser as a lecturer, and Mrs. Smith as a singer. The whole thing is a deception and a cheat. We do hot believe Mil's Dress- er wrote [the lectures she repots, and we know their concerts are a humbug.
