The sefaool at Mapleville Academy

The pupils were given a "String Party,"
Friday afternoon. On Thursday
the teachers w.th the aid of lady
i friends decorated the large room above
the chapel and arranged the String
Hunt, Red bunting was stretched aetoes
the entire width of the room just
at the entrance, and on this was pinned
Blips of paper, bearing the names of
the pupils, with a long string attached
and winding in various directions. At
the end of each string was a package
containing fruits and confectionaries.
One at a time the children passed (beyond
the hunting, and finding their
names, had to follow the attached cord
under, over and around various things.
It was amusing indeed to see the interest
and enthusiasm dtsplayed. After
all the names had been taken down, the
children opened the packages and enjoyed
the treat. Miss Mabel Duke was
< awarded the prize, a box of writing pa",
per for finding her package with greatv\
est ease, while Mr. JoSeph Bunn. was
n. presented with the "booby," a stick of
ngndy, wrapped in a large quantity of

Thee 'to help, whether with many or
with them that have no power. Help
us. O Lord our God. for we rest on
Thee, and In Thy name we go."
Yet in the thirty-sixth year of his
reign he was led into making a league
