The Scott Supper and Entertainment.

Borrowed from Republican. Of all the grand novelists of the world the name of Walter Scott towers mountain high above all others. His inimitable and incomparable works, his novels historical, novels fictional, and novels personal contain such a grand variety of characters of all kinds and grades of life, so high as kings, so low as medicants; so rich as Croesus, so poor as Lazarus; so good as Jennie Deans, so mean as Madge Wildfire; so jovial as W amber, so morose as the Black Dwarf; so lordly as the Normans, so menial as Gurh —so rich and full of fine delineation of human character, picturesque scenery, Scottish legends, that his works are not only read by the English and Scotch, but by every civilized nation, and appreciated above all others. The characters for the entertainment the High School intends to give will all be selected from this great novelist’s works, and the costumes will be as nearly like the originals as they can be made, And in connection with this novel entertainment a grand, gorgeous, bounteous supper will be given. No one in town or in the country round about can afford to absent himself, from this enterb;: or fail to .satisfy his appetite- at the burdened tables. The kind and liberal < if',; ns will do as they did last year ween every thing was furnished so plentifully and so richly. /The so .-oral committees will visit you next Saturday sollicking for this grand occasion, and as the proceeds of this supper are to be applied to so laudable a purpose as the increasing of oup already fine library, no kind parent whose children are or wi,U be by these books wII retnse to give ‘something, whatever toe donor feels dispdsed I

to give—cakes, bread, chickens, turkeys, ham, coffee, —anything. This princely supper and royal entertainment will be given pn Friday evening, April Ist. The hour will be advertised in the next issue of this paper. One of the features of the evening will be the voting of a goldheaded cane to the most popular gentleman present, and a fine silver dish to the most popular lady. Another feature will be a Fantastic Exhibition, in which grand scenes &c. are to be presented. All kinds of candies will be exposed to sale, also oranges, bananas, popcorn, peanuts, everything desirable that is edible. Let everybody make arrangements to attend this entertainment and as the money cleared will be invested in good books for your children, spend freely and liberally. We would like to make two hundred dollars. More concerning the supper and entertainment next week.
