The entertainment given at the Mt. Vernon school house, in Elk hart tuwnship, on Tuesday, Feb. 10th., was a grand success. ercises consisted of vocal and in- struwental wusic, :ecitations, dia logues, lectures, and a diama, enti- t.ed The Lovely Afternoon. G. W. Thompson was the principal char- acter and deserves much credit for the wanner in which he performed his part. Sable Courtships, by Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Thompson, was very amusing. A song, entitled Give Away, by Lee Manlove and Davy Leer. The singing with banjo ac- companiment, by Mr. and Mrs. James Maddy, was splendid. A negro piece, How He Turned the Joke, by James Coughn and Wn. Nightwine, caused considerable laughter. The Old Legend, by Florence Quackenbush, Lips That Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch Mine, by Annie Harrold, The Mother Weeping For Her Son, by Lilly Feeback, Don't Give it Away, by Bertha Maniove, Our Folks, by Willie Hardinger, The President's Names in Rhyme, by Raymond Clark, were all rendered in a talent ed manner. The piece that was acted behind the curtains entitled Mrs. Caudle's Lecture, we failed to learn the names, but being some- what familiar with their voices, we would judge it was Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Harrold. The music and singing by the minstrel band was very good. Notwithstanding the muddy roads the house was crowded and every body seemed to enjoy themselves. Spectator.

Messrs. Dr. Pyle, D. N. Th mp- son, and others of the Academy Board: Gentlemen:—In response to your levgthy article, published in the Re- cord, of the 4th., inst., I wish first t» state that I emphatically re-affirm | the statement of the ‘contract’ as | given in my card to the Tres. My | letter uf July the 4th., 1887, you as- sert was in reply to one received j from Prof. Mickey, dated July the 7th. Prof M. censured me for not jreplying to that letter of the 7th of Juy. My letter (thank you for quotiug the same) was in re- spouse to a second letter dated July the 8th, and the language plainly iu- dicates that it was notin reply to that letter of the 7th, but another one, wherein I relied on the state- ment from Dr. Pyle’s card regarding the proposition. This should make it evident to an unprejudiced mind, that my understanding was such, and such only, as sent by the Board. To show your understanding of the proposition I need only to state that in submitting the first monthly report of Prof. M. to the president, to see if it was in accord with the proposition as sent by him, he re- plied that it was not, and proceeded to make out the statement as we all understood it. In reply to your ab surd charges that I tried “to wring from the Prof. the deficit,” I ask, why did you not publish my state ment to the Board, made at the sug- gestion of one or more vf you? That explains the matter in brief; and is all I had to do with it. You state further, that I “set sys- tematically to wok to break down the Acauemy.” This, I positively deny and call upon you for the facts in proof. Again, you say that I had threatened three months before to start an enterprise ofmy own. Well, you quoted all pertaining to the threat, and I have to say in reply, that after the “Board standing by Allison,” in a way that he was sum- marily “kicked” out and then imme- diately confirming the nomination of a teacher for second place, leav- ing the third place and an offer of $450 per year as the only alternative, I ce -ncluded that I must “paddle my own canoe” which / had an un- doubted right to do. When, how ever, at the eleventh hour, you tried to remedy matters, I acted in har mony with you; and from that time, no person heard me say—while I was connected with the Academy— that I desired or expected to start a private school, though urged by several parties to do so. Iu justice to Capt. Henry, I wish to state that he was absent from Butler, and had n thing to do with the negotiations concerning the matter of giving Prof. Mickey the principalship of the school. Y.ur finely spun theory of “craft- ily laid plans, &c ,” is based on false kypotheses. Facts are much better in this case than theory. Your surprise at the turn in the tide of affairs connected with the school was chiefly due to your ig- norance of matters pertaining there- to. Had you made a proper inves- tigation as it became your duty to do, much of this bitterness of feeling might have been avoided. You chose to act from your own standpoint, and now charge the whole trouble up to my account. Gentlemen, I ca ’t assume the debt, Had you pursued the same plan as in the employing of Prof. Nay- lor, years before, i. e. assured a fair salary, and I think the Academy had friends who would have aid- in 87. Is it any surprise that many of the patrons became displeased with such management and sent their children elsewhere, which I positively know some have done. During my two week's canvas last fall I had a favorable opportunity to | learn public sentiment and know whereof I affirm when I say that the | ‘the future of the school was not | | promising. | | As regards myself, I have labored | in season and out of season for the | building up of the Academy at a | mere nominal salary virtually giving | |the first two years of my service. | | Now because I chose to sever my ‘connection with the school, rather | than submit to making all the sacri- fices consequent, in great part, from your penurious, save-penny management, I am accused of turu- ing assassin and stabbing the Acad- emy and every one else in the back. May you all survive the wounds. Gentlemen, what vonsense. Very Respectfully, L. B. Axuisoy. | K.
