The Scott Supper and Entertainment.

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 uovels 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 medicauts; so rich as Croesus, so poor as -Lazarus; so good as Jennie Deans, so mean as Madge Wildfire; so jovial as Watnber, 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 hot 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, "Aiictln cSnia&ctiou withTtliis hovel” entertainment a graud, gorgeous/ bounteous supper will be given.
