MEETING OF "OLD FOLKS."
Vnl. Henry I.. Webb, II r. .trier, Dffasr,
rxlirr, JsatMli, Hatirortl auil ii'illlain.
on, ''
There was ii very ploasant rc-union of
"old folks'1 In this city, yesterday, at the
residence of Dr. Arlcr, on Tenth street.
Tho party consisted of Col. Henry L.
Webb, now entering tho fourth quarter
of his century, who located In Illinois
about sixty years ago, and who, forty
eight years ago was a member of tho Illi
nois legislature. A. II. Safford, cashier of
tho City Nntional Bank, who landed
among tho rushes nt tho mouth of Chicago
river thirty-four years ago; 3Ir. Macklc,
of tho firm of Mackle & Co., of this city, a
tf
gcntloman whoso years of maturity bordor
upon arty, -Mr. Mcars, father-in-law of D.
W. Munn, who is about 70 rears of ace,
Dr. Tabcr, father of tho Tabor Brothers,
of this city, Dr. Arter, aged 74 years, and
Capt. Geo. D. Williamson, an old resident
of tho county, although not n rrry old
man. The vcnerablo John S. Hacker was
on a visit to his son-in-law in tho country,
and could not thereforo accept tho invita
tion to attend.
At ono o'clock the party sat down to
dinner, and right heartily did they dicus
tho sVjre of well-served edibles .Mrs. Ar
ter had provided. ot ono of the nuin
ber was too old or feeblo to partako frceh
of tho roasts, tho vegetnble, tho cakes,
the pastne", the Jellies and delicious cof-
fco that were set before them In .neh
ijmpting ubundance.
Within tho limited i.nnco of a "local"
article it would t impossible to detail the
reminiscences thee "old folks'" dug from
the well of tho past; to repeat tho stories
of old times And adventures they told ; to
epcak of the old memories they revived or
of the life they seemed to live over again.
Col. Webb hsd lived over a half century
nlrnot within slghtof tho Junction of theso
rivers, and possessing a vigor of mind und
body not common with men of his ago,
most retentive memory, and rare conver
sational powers, it was itllko pleasant
and profitable to listen to descriptions of
times and scenes, the men and measures
of fifty years ago. A memory of all tho
events, changes, Important occurences and
tucidents in tho early history of Southern
Illinois, is still retained by him, and it is,
apparently, a real pleasure to draw upon
that memory for the edification of his
frionds, and especially for the entertain
ment ol'sttch n party that of which he
was the center yesterday.
Doctor and .Mrs. Arter were exceedingly
kind and hospltablo to their invited guests,
and did all tbey could do or should have
done to make tho occafion an interesting
one.
Thk Eriecoi-AL Festivai The Epis
copal festival, Thursday night, was unex
pectedly successful. Thu "foreshadow
ings" were favorable; but who drearaod
that In n singlo night, from strawberries,
cream, lemonade, etc., the sum of six hun
dred dollars could bo realized?
The "ring" was nwarded to Miss Anna
Pitcher, as the most popular vonng ladv
in attendance. Nine hundred nnd sixtv
five ten-cent votes woro polled, nearly
one-half of which were cast for a married
ludy of tho city, to whoso cheerful and val
uable assistance much of the success re
alized is due. Tho ring netted ?9C.C0.
Tho barrel of whlto wheat half-dozon X
flour, donated by Mr. Charles Gallghcr,
was sold five or six time, netting an ag
gregate of 503.
The Silver Comet band ndded tho charm
of most delicious music to tho occasion,
drawing hundreds of persons to tlm front
of the hall, from all parts of tbe city.
Tho crowd separated about 1 o'clock,
delighted with the evening's entertain
ment, and assured of tho pecuniary suc
cess of tho occasion, by tho depleted con
dition of their purses.

GERMAN SCHOOL.
The KlRlith Annual Kimnlnatlloti.
A member of tho Commlttco thnt as
sisted Prof. Wlrschlng in tho recent exnm
Initlon of tho German school of this city
kindly furnished us the. following facts in
connection thcrowlth:
Tho nverngo attendance of the school is
about 65, which fact will assure tho vlil
tors present, that very fow, if nny, of tho
scholars had absented themselves to nvold
tho ordcnl of examination.
Tho first and second classes aro primary.
Tho first class, consisting of 8 llttlo fel
lows, from o to C years of ago, showed
their parents and friends what a fow
short months' propor training nnd dlli
genco had enabled them to accomplish,
quito cheerfully.
Tho second elms, which is composed of
M pupils, between ages of C and 8, be
trayed excellent progress, and passed tho
test successfully. Edith Oberly wat
awarded tho first premium.
Tho third class, composed of 11 schol
ars, between the ages of 7 nnd 11, used the
r irst Reader, and did exceedingly well,
Philip Bnbgh, IjuIs Bossman, Anna
Meyer and Betty Korsmoyer bearing off
tho premiums for scliolarshfp.
Tho forth clas's uso tho Second Reader,
The clas, l composed of 8 scholars, r.gcd
! from 0 to 1.1. Ambroso Fitzgerald nnd
Laura Rennie entitled themselves to the
premiums, although nil their little com
petitors did well.
Tho fifth class is composed of 0 scholars,
aged from 9 to 13. Tho book usod is the
Third Reader. Carl Frank, Anno Gold
stinc, Willlo Kromeycr, Augusta Schuh
j nnd Frank Tell, wero awarded premiums,
ana tnoy ucserveu tticni.
Arithn.ettc is taught orally without
tho use of books. In the first class, which
consists of 22 members, Philip Baugh,
Carl Feuchtcr, Roslnn Fisher, Mary
Funkhauser, Rosa Goldstlnc, Bettio Kros
moyrr, Annie Meyer nnd Edward Weil
boro off premiums, of which they may
Justly feel proud. Thoy woro well earned.
In tho second class In arithmetic, Carl
Bauer, Anna Goldstine, Augusta Schuh,
Frank Toll und Albort Belzncr, wcropro
nounced tho most proficiont. This class
is composed of 12 chlldreu, none of whom
aro over 13 years of ago.
Tho third class in arithmetic is the fnr
thorest, advanced, and right manfully did
every ono of the four pupils composing it
contend for tho premium. The examin
ing committee finally decided, however,
that "whoro all did so well it would hnvo
boon invidious to hrvo discriminated,"
and thereforo commended all of them for
their proficiency.
In tho translation of Knglish into Gor
man and German into English, tho pupils
evincfti ft Toudlnoa and thoroughness Umt,
with children under Pr.if. Wlrsch'ng, it is
not such n formidable matter to master
German nnd English, after all.
In tho first class, in which Otto's Trans
lator is used, tho wholo class, numbering
twonty-ono scholars, translated German
into English and rice versa, with n facil
ity that was quito astonishing to thoso
who understood tho timo tho class had
dovotcd to that study. Tho pupils in this
class wero equnlly good.
In tho second class, in which Ahn's
Translator is used, Miss Laura Ren
nie, Ambroso Fizgoruld, Albert Belz
ner, Carl Bross and George Lattner
showed themselves proficients, and earned
tho distinction that wns awarded to them.
Tho third or highest class in this branch
is composed of children between tho ages of
fl nnd 13. McGuffey's Fifth Roader,
(translated into German) is usod, and that,
too, with an ease that evinced cIojo study,
and the exercise of gcod senso and sound
memory. Tho best in this class wero
Anua Goldstine, Willie Korsmeyer and
Augusta Schuh.
Thero woro, also, examinations In Goog-
raphy, Natural History, etc., that woro un
iformly successful, ond entirely
satisfactory to the paronts of tho
children. From tho beginning to tho
ending ono fact was constantly
prominent, and that wns that tho teacher
had an oyo singlo to tho thoroughness of
his pupils, regarding that of infinitely
greater Importunco than rapid and unsub
stantial progress. Tho whole examination
was n verification of this statoment, and
an endorsement of Prof. Wlrschlng ns 11
popular and .successful educator.

tho children on Monday week, wo refer In
