As on former occasions when the pupils of District No. 1 gave their ex cellent entertainment, so on last evening the friends and patrons of tho Cedar street school filled tho hall to overflowing to greet and welcome the yonng folks on the public exhibition that marks the closo of a successful school term. The programme opened with a song "Our Greeting"' by the entire school. The sal utatory was well delivered by Yesley White, followed by a fine recitation, "The Pride of Battery B." by Lottie Levings; "Boys Rights," by Geo. Welch preceded "Before and After Marriage' by Josio Dealey, followed by n school song "Village Bells."

Miss Lawrence, Miss Connolly and Miss Atkinson deserve a word of praise for their earnest and un remitting efforts in making tho exhibi tion such a splendid success. Over 430 tickets were sold and not tho least of the satisfactory results of the evening's pleasuro is the knowledge that the amount realized will give substantial aid to tho purpose of tho school to procure suitable apparatus nnd books of refer ence.

What An English Xenspapcr ITe-h to Say About It, Talking about Columbia river salmon the Liverpool Journal of May 12th, says. We havo before had occasion to notice this very cheap nnd popular article, which has in so short a time found its way into every town, village, and hamlet of our country. It is not so many years since, that ono of the largest engaged in the trade brought his first parcel of about forty-seven cases, and looked at the little pile every day and considered how long it would take to dispose of them at tho then rate of sale; but it must be remem bered that the price then was fully 42 42s.rper case, or double the prico now ru ling for ruanv of the good brands, whilst tho best, and invariably popular brands were of course unknown. Oar attention ha3 at tho present timo been brought to the subject by tho los3 of the Kirkwood with its 53,000 cases, or, in other words, upwards, of two and a half millions of pounds. Th mere loss o tiro and a ba f millioES t f paands of salmon m a single season will uelp those out of tho trade, and even those in it, to form some idea of tho magnitude and rapidity of the growth of the business in tinned salmon. 'JL'nero cannot bo a doubt that tho last season's quiet, by which we mean noise less, but nevertheless sure and continu ous consumptive sale, has been vastly augmented and accelerated by tho very low and unnecessary prices which the holders seem to havo competed to bring about; for, unlike any previous season, there appears to have been a common object among them lo sell, quite regard less of the position of tho article, and requrements of tho season for salmon, unliko calico, cannot be turned out at all times of tho year though, unfortunately, this has been tho origin of all the troublo in tho trade, that salmon has been turned out when it should havo been kept in the river tho packing not having always ceased so soon as it ought. Our chief concern, however, now is that tho prices should not rule too high; that they have been ruinously low, no ono can for a mo ment contend, but with a short supply to start with of somo 50,000 cases, and tho loss of the Kirkwood, with a similar quantity, or say five millions of pounds deficiency.it would bo idle to imagine tho ruinous prices of lato to prevail nor would wo wish it for what does not pay cannot possibly last, and just because wo wish this very useful and beneficial industry to continue and flourish, that we would counsel moderation in the buy ing, and a judicious distribution on tho part of holders, for a'ny excitement must inevitably lead to a very sharp rebound in prices. That the holders will and should obtain more, would bo unreason able on the part of any to bo grudged. We have now six months of tho very best consuming period before us, before any fresh supplies can possibly arrive, except a mere sprinkling, and anyone that will tako tho trouble -to enquiro of tho warehoasekecpers will readily find out for himself that tho rooms aro emp ty and their vocation largely gone, that in place of one half of ho catch of last season being hero as in former years at this period, not ono qnaiter is in stock. This may bo accounted for by tho retail ers having availed themselves of the ex traordinary prices and stocked them selves, so they can either stand a siege or endure a famine. Of this we cannot speak positively, but from inquiries mado in more than ono quarter likely to be in formed, we aro led to think that even tho low prices havo not tempted any pur chasing, as a whole beyond tho ordinary requirements of the day.
