JL Iargre Crowd Pleasant Weatner Meeting: oi the Trustees Speech of lion. Gustarus J. Orr, of Georgia. The commencement exercises of this venerable institution were under full blast yesterday, and the village was crowded with Visitors. Though the first public exercise began at 11 o'clock in : the m orning, - several interesting matters occurred previous to this, and will be noted in their proper order. ..The first of these was the annual ' MEEDTJIO flPTHBTWO LITEEAKY SOCIETIES, thehllanthropic and Eumenean, Toes- fl A.v'ritOfVif f; A a in avdir . f.Viai rtatitti- uon of a similar character, these are always exceedingly interesting occa sions to the students and to the alum ni of the college. It affords the latter an opportunity of renewing their asso ciations with the scenes and fiurrbund iqgs of Jtheir first4 forensic efforts, and recalls some 6f the most delightful re collections of "their lives, while to the mind of the student who, whatever may b& his habits of study, always takes a pride in his society; it is only secopd in importance to the occasion when he receives from the college his certificate of graduation. While the meetings are' private only the old and honorary members being admitted the' general character of the proceed ings always leaks out. The' members of each society who belong to the grad uating class, are given diplomas annu ally, aad feeveral speeches are made by the students. The annual address be fore the Eumenean society this year was made by E P Davis, of Monroe. The Philanthropic having failed to se cure an alumni orator, induced Rev E H Harding, of Charlotte, who is an hon orary member, to repeat the address delivered before the cadets of the Caro lina Military Institute several years ago. Quite a number of speeches were made by the visiting members, all short and spicy, snd the evening pass ed off delightfully in both societies. BOARD OF TRUSTEES. This body has been in session for two days. The proceedings were chief ly taken up with the discussion of the condition of the college and in attend ing to routine business. One action of the board i3, however, of special im portance to the public : the time of the beginning of the session was changed to the second Thursday in September, making the end of the session com mencement day fall on the second Thursday in June, two weeks earlier than the present time. Tuesday afternoon the board went into a sort of a committee of the whole on the ways and means of increasing the patronage and usefulness of the in stitution, and the discussion took the widest possible range. It was con cluded on all hands that the only need of the college at present was more students ; that it had a faculty which in point of ability and fit ness was not surpassed by that of any institution in the South ; that the fa cilities for imparting instruction were fully adequate to all the demands ; that the location of the place and the mor al tone of the college were entirely healthy, and that the standard of edu cation afforded was as high as could be obtained in any similar institution. Then why did not the college receive all the patronage needed to render it independent of its endowment? Many and varied were the reasons assigned, but on one point all agreed, and that was that the college ought to be better advertised in short, that in the classic language of the period, it needed its share of "puffing" in the secular news papers. With a view of taking the first steps towards a proper presenta tion of its claims to the public, a reso lution was passed, constituting each member of the board and minister of the church, under whose auspices it is governed, a special agent, and urging them to do all they could in its behalf. A proposition to memorialize the Legislature for an appropriation to es tablish a normal school at the college was referred to the executive commit tee. The board is still in session, but it is understood that nothing of impor tance remains to come before it. THE FIRST DAY. The arrival of the train from Char lotte about 9 o'clock, and another from States ville an hoar later, brought a number of visitors. The Statesville cornet band arrived on the latter, and soon began to enliven things by its Bplendid music. The 'excessively hot weather which has attended Davidson commencements from time immemo rial with more reeularity than the most conscientious trustee, was absent, and everybody was in good spirits. By 11 o'clock, the time for the beginning of the. exercises, the crowd , had been considerably swelled by persons from the surrounding country. In accordance with a time honored custom, the trustees, faculty and stu dents assembled near the old chapel at 10:45 o'clock and formed a procession, headed by the band to escort the speak er to the college building. SPEECH OF HO, G. J. ORR. By the time the speaker and his escort arrived at the chapel, a first rate crowd (for the first day) was collected there, and during Cthe , rendition of several pieces by the band, the crowd contin ued to erow larger. The faculty and board of trustees oc cupied the rostrum. Dr. Hepburn, after making the announcements of the remaining exercises of the day, in troduced Rev. D. D. McBride, who opened the exercises with prayer, after which""PrT Hepburn introduced i the orator of the; day,' - Hon;,G X-jOrr, .of ueorgia. iux vrr ia n. i uui ,a uiu, ui commanding appearance, and impreBS- eirthranalencff veryrlaDxably, when- he arose topeak-v -.'-r" - After a gracefatlla&iott to the pleasure which Tit afforded f him to ap pear before the students rpf 'Davidson College, and to the fact that he himself was a descendant of a citizen of Meck lenburg county, the speaker announc ed that he had chosen for his theme The Selection of a Profession, and that differing from usage on such occasions, he would address himself mainly to the. graduating class. , As the address will be published in full at the request of the two literary societies, no attempt, will be made to reproduce it here. The address was mainly devoted to the analysis of the qualifications for such professions as are usually adopted by the young men of the country who have received -an education in the colleges. It was emi nently practical and abounded in ad vice to the young men to whom he was addressing himself. "Un As it was necessary to close this re port at 2 o'clock in Order to make the mail, a further report of the exercises of the day must be deferred till to morrow. Mr. Frank I. Osborne of Charlotte was expected to deliver the alumni address at 4 o'clock, and at 8 o'clock the representatives of Uje two literary societies will speak. - ' . The Gaston ConventionCols. Steele and Johnston. The Gaston county convention, held Tuesday, was largely attended. No kind friend has thought it worth while to send us the proceedings, but we learn that in addition to the nomina tion of Mr Huffstettler for the House, Sheriff White was re-nominated for his office and J B White lor clerk of the court. The convention, as already stated, abstained from any action on the con gressional question. Messrs Johnston and Steele were both present, and af ter the convention had performed the work for which it had assembled, these gentlemen participated ia a joint dis cussion. Col Steele spoke first, refer ring his constituents to the official re cords for an account of his steward ship. He also presented some of the views bearing upon his re-nomination laid down by him in a conversation held yesterday afternoon with an OBt server reporter. Col Johnston follow ed, telling the people that his compet itor had not told them of anything he had done for them, and laying down the principle that when a congress man serves out the term for which he is elected, the office reverts to the peo ple, and he has no claim upon it by reason of the fact that he has once oc cupied it. Col Steele replied briefly and this ended the discussion. It may not be amiss to say here, by way or presenting both sides of tne case and dealing out full Justice to all, that Col Johnston declares his pros pecta excellent. He is satisfied that the Catawba convention did not reflect public opinion, and that its instruc tions will be disregarded. Gaston, he is certain, is for him, and with Meck lenburg and the other counties west, together with the counties and frac tions of counties east, which he is con fident of carrying, he regards his pros pects for the nomination satisfactory in the highest degree. A Singular Case. The other evening an employe of one of our business houses a young man who has not been long a resi dent of Charlotte, but about whom there has never been noticed anything remarkable except that he was a sin ularly quiet individual asked his em ployer, late in the evening, for a cer tain amount of money, and receiving it, went out. He repaired at once to the office of a magistrate, and produc ing a large sheet, on which he haa pasted at least two hundred extracts from the Observer of various dates, the extracts referring to or telling of all sorts of things, told the justice that he wanted suit brought against the pas per. .Being asked on what ground, he alleged that all of the articles which he exhibited were aimed at him and were written with a view of "scandalizing" him. He would not be persuaded to the contrary, and finally, as a means of dissuading him, he was told that for instituting suits of that character, it was necessary that payment should be made in advance. Thereupon he pulled out and handed to the officer a $5 bill, and was finally told to . come around at 10 o'clock on the second day from that time and they would fix it all up.' He went his way, apparently satisfied, and did not return. The young man was entirely sober and is regarded by.his employer as an excellent workman. His whole con versation with the magistrate and con stable, however,1 denoted lunacy un mistakablyj thoiigh since that time he has been at work after his usual habit. Magistrates' Courts Things Were somewh at li vely y ester- day inHhese tribunals. Justice Dayid son had up Laura Love and Sailie Johnston, both colored, for misdemean or, and dismissed them upon payment of costs ; Dick Hoover, colored, for fraud and false pretences, was dismiss ed upon paying the cost and making restitution ; W B Scott for assault upon Mat Clarke, colored, fined $1 and cost; growing out of the above, an affray be tween W B Scott and G H Hall, both of whom were dismissed upon paying C08t. Before Justice Waring was Jas M Hand, colored, for assault with a deadly weapon upon Lawrence Hart; bound to the peace in $50. Emma Turner, the Five Pointer, who made things so cheerful in those precincts day before yesterday, Lwas brought from prison to judgment, yes terday morning. .The case coming pp before Justice .Waring, he sent her to jail there toJ abide until thenex' lext term of the Inferior Court, s 1 AComplaint Against the., Cenaeterjr - . Authorities! Editor Charlotte Obsarver Yesterday afternoon; two .elderly la dies .went to: the .cemetery to place flowers on some graves, "when some little distance in the grounds they were met by a white man and three negroes. xne white man, who I learn is named Thomas, told, them in a very gruff manner - to leave as the gates were about to be closed." They informed him" they were only going a short way into tne grounas, ana wouia then leave. He again ordered them to leaver and as they passed on he. went out, locking the gates after him. Now, sir, I would like to know if this is the treatment the public is to expect from its employes. I under stand that there ia an hour; for locking the gates. Who appointed if? Why has it never been published ? Ladies who have no carriages to ride in can not walk out to the cemetery in the heat 'of ' the day. Are-? they to be debarred the privilege of visiting the graves of their friends in the cool of the evening because they fea they will be locked in by surly fellows like Mr Thomas ? This is not the first time thiajtmiahje gentleman has play ed the same .trick." OnJ another occa sion he , ordered Vjiung gentleman and lady to leave,' and though they fol lowed him he locked the gate in their faces, they being some fifteen paces be hind him, and went off with the key"?n: his pocket, forcing the lady to climb the fence, as was the. case yesterday afternoon with, those ladies, of ; fifty years each..' -' 1 . : If Mr k Rooke will insist 'oil having such assistants, then I think it time to secure another keeper of the cemetery.

Eating: is a Torture, And sleep often a mere travesty of repose, to the dyspeptic. Appetite is corresponding ly impaired by this most prevalent of mala dies, and headaches, billiouaness, constipa tion, poverty of the blood, loss of flesh and of vitality, and a thousand annoying and indescribable sensations, are its concomi tants. It is, moreover, the progenitor of numerous and formidable bodily disorders. Obstinate as it is, however, its complete eradication may be effected by the persis tent use of Uostetter's stomach Bitter?, a medicine which communicates both vigor and regularity to the organs of digestion and secretion, relaxes. the bowels gently bat thoroughly, enriches and pa ifies the blood, promotes appetite, and gives tran quility to the neryous system. Persons of weakly constitution and feeble physique who use this superb tonic infallibly .derive from it the stamina cf which they stand so much in seed, and it is invariably success ful in remedying and preventing malarial diseases. When the appetite fails, and bead aches, with constipation of the bowels, the liver is out of order, and no medicine gives such promt t and permanent relief as a few doses of Dr Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
