The Concert given at tbe Academy on last Monday evening, by tbe Ash­ land Sunday School, was one of tbe pleasantest of the kind we ever attend­ ed. Although the first Sunday School entertainment ever given iu Ashland, it will be difficult to surpass it by any fnture performance. At an early hour in the evening tbe large lower room of tbe Academy was filled to overflowing. Rev. Geo. Nutley, the Superintendent, made a brief but very appropriate opening address. This was followed by the song, “Joy to the World,” iu which tbe whole school joined; after which the programme proceeded as follows: Recitation of verses of Scripture by Mrs. S. A. Farnham’s class, consisting of Misses Alice McBride, Susie Hill, Nettie Wagner, Lou. Willits, Belle Drake, Eugenie Farnham, Laura Thornton and Elda McCloud. Prayer by Rev. J. B. Donaldson. Song: “Let the Lower Lights be Shining,” by the school. Recitations by Mrs. M. Jacobs’ class consisting of Misses Amanda Hamr rnond, Anna Jaquette, Clara Gunner- son, Katie Chitwood, Hattie Reeser, Ida Kentuor, Auna Patton and Ella McPherson. Song: “Hold the Fort;” sung with spirit by tbe whole school. Recitatious by Miss Frances Myer’s class, consisting of Fred. Wagner, Ed­ gar Eubanks,Sheridan Thornton,Eddie McPnerson, David Ralph, Lewis Kritz Willie Nutley, Albert Fox, Willie Fox, John Jacobs, Thomas Goodcbild, W. Farnham, U. Gunnerson, Willie Brown aud Charles Chitwood. Soug: “Precious Jewels.” This was rendered iu good style by tbe Birds Nest, a class under tbe management of Miss Fox aud Mrs. Jumes Tborntou. Here is tue ‘'muster roll” of this in­ fantile brigade: Walter Harris, Mary Harris, Birdie Jaquette, Lydia Ja­ quette, Belle Mod let-tie, Lorene Modi- sette, Chester Hardison, Minda Fox, Eddie Fox, Ella Drake, Grace Houck, Eddie Thornton, wellie Giddiugs, Ber tie Tozer, Alfred Ruckieilow, LewiB Andrews, Georgia Andrews, Frank Me- Aemar, Addle MuNemur, Morris How­ ell, Oilte McBride, Lydia McCall, Elsie McCatl, Ada Miher, Ellie Sutiou, Puceba WuoUsou, Eauuie KaipU, Miu* uie Nutley, Belie Wagner, C«areuce vVuiraJ, Ola Tboruluu, Robbie Brown, l'Uiie Reeser, Leou McPuersou, Kate MePuersou, Frau&ie \audyXe. boug: ‘ Tue Age of Welcome,” by Misses Hattie litcser and Luu.

Recitations by Miss Belle McBride’s class, consisting ot Mtsses Haltie Tol­ man, Katie Vandyke, Ida Laue Carrie Gillette, Adeia AlcBnde, lauuie Mc­ Bride, Flora WooUsou, Auua Audersou, Alta Miller, M »y Druke aud Maggie Howell.

Song: “Ninety aud Niue,” rendered in excellent style by Misses Olla and Adda McBride. Soug: “I Love to Tell tbe Story,” rendered with spirit by the whole school. “Temperance,” a recitation by Adeia McBride, presenting alphabetically a list of tbe evils of dram-drinking. “Santa Claus,” a very thrilling and pointed reoitation by. the two little Misses Modisette. “The Dead Dull,” a pathetic funeral discourse by Miss Hattie Thornton, which, notwithstanding its solemnity, afforded a vast deal of amusement. “It's just tbe same as it used to be;” another telliug disquisition ou popular evils, by Miss Ollie McBride. The Ue-xt, aud one of the must edify­ ing features of the programme, was Che presentation to Superintendent Nutley of an elegant Bible, by Miss Nettie Wagner, on behalf of the school. Mr. Nutley,encouscieus of tbe intention of the school, was directed to take a con­ spicuous position aud keep quiet. It was evidently less difficult for one of his lingual powers to observe tbe first re­ quirement than the last, but be fiualiy assumed his required place, and Miss Wagner presented him tbe book, deliv­ ering a very appropriate address, to which he responded iu good style. Next, Mr. Nutley presented Rev. J. B. Donaldson, on behalf of one of the pupils, an elegant looking boquet, representing roses, marigolds and lilies but having a smell Btrongly suggestive of tbe turnips, beets and carrots, from which the imitation flowers had been fashioned. After bis recovery, Mr. Donaldson responded in a speech which,for brevity aud point,would have done credit to the reticent Graut him­ self. Song: “A Happy New Year,” by the whole sohool. Presentation to the scholars and to the Editor of tbe T idings , of sundry paper bags, supposed to contain nuts, candies and pop corn. Thauks; nature of contents no longer conjecture. After tbe song, “Love one Another,” the entertainment was closed wit h tbe good old Doxology, and everybody de­ parted, feeliug that tbe little and big folks of the Ashland Sunday School had acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner.
