Strawberry Festival at the Lewiston Academy. The " Concert and Strawberry Festival,' given iu aid of tbo " Chancel Fund''by St' Paul's Church (Episcopal) Ouild, ljewiston, June 18th, was a pronouueed success. The floral decorations were extensive and vsried, and filled the room with a delicate fragrance, while the effect waa charming in the extreme. A gypsy camp, surrounded by evergreen trees, upon which butterflies rested as natu rally us if they had placed themselves there, was one of the principal attractions. The gypsy fortune teller, dressed iu along, blue skirt, with black bodice and yellow aloeves, and long hair streaming over her shoulders, tied dowu with her leaf trimmed hat, looked the exact picture of what she represented. Her daughter, a dark skinned, bright, young gypsy girl, dressed iu a brilliant scarlet skirt and sash, with korchief thrown over her shoulders and dark hair, surmounted by a piquant little cap, looked indeed like a wild girl of tho woods, as she eat demurely by her gypsy brother, whose graceful atti tudo and costume could not be surpassed Iu front of the tout a kettle was suspended on poles o»er a pile of » ood ready to be lit at any moment to cook the evening repast, while the occupants of the tent sat Just in. side the opening, looking at the assembled company, who dispersed themselves about tho room, chatting with friends, and visiting the different looths, especially tho ooe where the ice croam and strawberries were to be had. The roof bad the appearance of being drifted with snow, of which particles could be seen sparkling In the light, making tbo efflct particularly pleasing in connection with the ice cream. Almost opposite thia was an old stone well partly overgrowu with moss and ferns, and protected by a m asy roof; inside was to l>e teeo •• The old oaken bucket. The mosa covered bucket, that bung in tho well,' 1 and which held Instead of the " cold sparklingsparkling water," lemonade. Over the back of the enclosure clambered woodbine and ivy, which setoff to gr»at advantage the costumes of the tastefully dressed yourg la lies who attended. The flower booth was also tastefully docorated. and presented su attractive ap|«ar once with wreaths of evergreen, suspended from the ceiling aud attached to the four oorners, the intensity of the gTeen relieved here and there by bright flowers. The stands were banked with nioes aud covered with bright fancy articles aud flowers in large and small bouquets, aud in delicate willow baskets. Among the fancy articles, wore wblsks diesaed up as negro doll*, with colored dress and sbawl, long white apron aud bright tur ban. The representation was perfect aud the doffs wore a source of much mirth The two young ladies who had charge of the booth, aucceedei well iu dlsposiug of everything. The singing for the evening waa well chosen and nicely rendered. Dr. Eddy favored the audience with one of hla fine solos, for which ho was heartily encored. The company were honored by the presence of two young clergymen from Ohio, who aro visiting in Eewistou, aud who aid ed in the decorations and iu the success of tli* evening. A number of guests from Youngstown and Fort Niagara were also present nfcl were very generously disposed towards the differeut booths.
