Castor, assisted by hla Tory ablo corps of assistants, prosented tho Rod Cloud public wlthonoof tho most in teresting and novol homo entertainments that it hits boon our plcasuro to hoar slnco residing in Rod Cloud, For qulto a numbor of days provious, our reporter had heard it rumored that there would to n scoool entortalnmont, but did not presume that it would be any thing more than an ordinary ovory day ovont; but immogino our surpriso to find an entor talnmont that was in every way both ap preciable and commendablo and a credit to our schools in ovory way. Tho training of tbo scholars was faultlose, and each and every ono rendered tholr various parts to almost porfoction and olicitod tho loudost applause, In this article we find oursolvoa un able to go into detail in picking out the boat parte, on account of the length of tho program and because of a'gonoral feeling that all did so woll that it would bo almost impossible to toll which part was rosily tho best, aaall scorned to have docidod to do tholr ut most to gratify the public and their in structors. Doth ovenlnga the opera houso was donsely packed, and many wero un nblo to gain ontranco to the large audi torium. The people of Rod Cloud should certainly fool vory proud oyor tho chil dren of our public Bchools, and wo feel justly clatod, from tho fact that tho pu pils, who took part and those who did not, aro mora than abovo the average in intellect und uncommonly studious, which is cortalnly a mark of distinction on behalf of tholr instructors and tbo general management of tho public schools of Red Cloud.
