The' Federal Court was a "flash in the paii," but it brought quite ajmmber of visitors to Charlotte, nevertheless. All of these, however, have now returned to their homes. ' ' : One of '-the teachers of the Young Ladies' Institute, who was guilty of an oversight in copying" the "last of the Distinguished," begs to atone for the injustice by requesting The Observer to add the names of Misses Annie Ilardr I ing and Maggie Harris. There was no session of the mayor's court yesterday, morning, and after the police sensation of "VYednesday, an account of the capture and com mittal of the colored store robbers, the city's surface was undisturbed yester day by even so much as a ripple, Mr, LeRoy Davidson keeps spa ice and on draft at his place of business on Trade street, lemonade and Hew; York cider, and that they are yat excellent and most refreshing qualities is a fact which, through, the courtesy Of Mr. R. T. Bratton, The Observer is'prepared to make affidavit to. " , A communication in Thursday's Ob server on the the subject of the burial of the indigent dead, has called public attention afresh to the recent order of the boardo f county commissioners that no more dead bodies be buried at public expense, and the order is exciting a good leal of public criticism. The Polk Rifle. At the annual meeting of the Polk KiHes, of Pineville, held a few days ago for election of officers, the following .were elected for the ensuing year: Captain, John A. Younts; First Lieu tenant, "VV. S. Williamson; Second Lieu tenant, J. M. Boyce ; Third Lieutenant, A- C. Williamson. The company is in creasing both in numbers and in pro ficiency in the drill. Llfttlng of Taxable. The people seem to have overlooked the fact that the township assessors are now sitting with open books ready to receive their returns." The books were opened on the 2nd Inst, and according to law must be closed on the 20th. Messrs. J. J. Sims and A. II. Creswell, w ho have in charge the books for this township, may, le found at any hour luring the day at the store of the for mer, corner Trade and Church, where the citizens can list all of their property that is subject to taxation. An Alligator an a CJlft. A friend down South has sent to Capt Pride Jones, of the Statesville Railroad, an alligator which, though of tender years, is four and a half feet long and more terrible to look upon than an army with banners. The gift is a veritable w hite elephant on the hands of its re cipient who, instead of going to sleep yesterday after his run of the night be fore, sat Up all day trying to decide what to do with it At a late hour of the evening he made up bis mind to put it in Phifers pond for safe-keeping and to entertain the people who are ;in the habit of going in bathing there. . S. P. Smith, Esq., president of the Tra ders' National Bank, of this city, has sent into the board of directors, his re signation. AJmeeting of the board has been called to" take place at 10 o'clock to-morrow Saturday morning at which time Mr. Smith's-resignation, if accept ed, will take effect ? Jle. resigns the pre sidency of the bank to take the place of his brother, Mr. J. M. Smith,in the firm of H. R. Smith & Co., of New York, the failing health of the last named gentle man necessitating his retirement from active business pursuits. Mr. - Smith has been the president of the Traders' Bank since its organization in 1875, and in his retirement the bank will lose a highly capable officer, while the city will lose, by his change of residence, one of its most enterprising and successful business men. DAVIDSON COLtEGE. CL.3SE OF .THE COJIJTIKNCETIENX. A Large Crowd, Fine Dpeeche, De livery of Diplomas, Prizes, &c. Davidson College, June 12.-The report of yesterday's proceedings closed with a brief notice of Col. McRae's ad dress, delivered at 11 o'clock in the morning. There is but one verdict con cerning itf and that is that it was the most brilliant effort ever made at the college. The only regret is that it was not delivered to-day, when it would have been heard by a much larger crowd. I hear that he has already been invited to deliver the address elsewhere, and for this reason the promised ex tracts from it are withheld. The city leaders of The Observer will find ready consolation for this omission in the oppoitunitv of hearinsr his lecture n "Laughter - which, 4will have been on given in the opera read house before this is Fight in a Court Room .

In the afternoon at 330, the alumni held their annual convocation in one of the recitations rooms in the college building. The old officers of the asso ciation were re-elected as follows! President F. B. McDowell, of Char lotte. Vice-President Rev. S. C Alexander, of Anson county. Secretary J. H. McClintoch, of Huh-; tereville. The committee which had been ap pointed at a previous meeting to collect all information to be obtained concern ing the whereabouts and occupafrans of all the old alumni of the collegeiwere continued, and one of the members thereof was instructed to consult with the trustees in reference to'thepublica-d uon oi a catalogue containing an tne information that had been gathered, to gether with such other facts in con nection with the history of the college as can be collected. The trustees con sented to bear the expenses of such a publication and to issue a thousand copies for general distribution. V; Thetassociatiott. thenadjourned to hear the '"'NfJllXttfMNfbDRESS before it by Mr. Anthony White, of Sumter, S. C. This address was deliver ed in the college chapel at 4.30 p. m. Mr. White confined himself almost ex clusively to the discussion of the rela tions of the Alumni to the alma mater and to the general subject of education the inestimable advantages of culture, its" necessity in preserving the republic and the happiness and contentment of its people, and especially the peculiar advantages of the training, moral as well as mental, afforded by Davidson College. The address included a grace ful tribute to the memories of the dead alumni, many of whom had fallen in the front rank of battle, and abounded in rhetoric of a rare and rich character. Mr. White has devoted himself for many years to the quiet pursuits of agriculture, but during that time has not neglected for one moment the more engaging claims of literature, and to day he is more familiar with the soft flowing measures of Virgil and the heroic verse of Homer than when he went forth from the college which he has loved and cherished since the day he first knocked for admission at its doors. The address was well receiv ed by the audience, and especially by the alumni association. The orator chosen by the association for the next annua meeting is D. J. Devane, of Wilmington, with Rev. W. S. Lacy, of Jonesboro, as alternate. avednesday night. The weather, upon which the success of a commencement so largely depends, was the topic throughout the day, for the clouds had begun to lower and grow threatening. Later it rained, but at a time when it did not interfere seriously with any thing. At 8 o'clock represen tatives of the two literary societies be gan to speak. This occasion, always an interesting one as marking the culmi nation of the generous rivalry between the societies, has been made doubly so within the past two years by the estab lishment of the Fowle medal for orato ry, which is awarded to one of the six representatives on the strength of their efforts then and there. The decision is made by a committee selected by the president of the college, generally from among the distinguished visitors pres ent, who note every "detail and render their jdecisipn on the following day. Thefe were only 'five speakers this year, Mr. J. S.,Brockinton, of Kingstree, S. C, having beeualled home by illness in his famifyK vy; - The first speaker, A.

The predictions of a crreat in crease in the crowd were fully verified. t was vwice tne size oi tne assemDiage yesterday,-and Was marked bv auiet and orderly demeanor. Again the procession was formed. this time to escort the graduating class to the chapel. The large hall was crowded. The increase over that of yesterday was . especially noticeable on iuc dtvuies siue, ami tne aiuinaieu wav ing of fans, the bright colors of sum mer dress, and the smiling faces of a half thousand ladies afforded a scene which was calculated to move a far more experienced man than an undergraduate. ine rostrum was occupied bv the faculty, the trustees and a few visitors, among whom were Judge A. C. Averv. of Morganton, Rev. Dr. Miller and Rev. W. R. Atkinson, of Charlotte, and Col. D. K. McRae, of Wilmington. , , THE. GBADUATIN1 CLASS. ? is composed of jiina earnest, thoughtful ooKing young men, whose laces show unmistakable signs of hard work. ine exercises oi the mornins opened with a prayer by Rev. Dr. Miller, of Charlotte. Then the speaking commenced. B. Palmer Reid. of Reidville. S. C de livered the salutatory address. This privilege is accorded to the -member of the class who stands second, the first being the valedictorian. Heretofore it has been the custom to deliver this ad dress in Latin. The faculty have verv wisely changed it The speaker after nis rormai welcome discussed the teach er s work, citing as notable examples, Arnold, of England, and Thornwell, of the United btates. He is young, with a pleasant face and an easy manner. Arthur P. .Brown, ot Liberty Hill. S. C, also quite a young man, discussed "Pleasure after Pain," showing the philosophy and wisdom of the arrange ment of nature by which all pleasure and pain exists in exact proportion. The speaker's oration was marked by smooth and pleasant rhetoric- A. (1. Buckner, French Broad, .N. C. presented "The Jews in the Middle Ages," a nation without a home and without a king: persecuted bv all ages. murdered and tortured in the darker periods of civilization, but setting the world an example of energy, endurance and devotion to nationality. Let civili zation of the present day rejoice at the final conquest and at the prospect of the early restoration to their former gran deur. 'General Lee as an Educator" afford ed James A. Wilson, of Yorkville, S. C an opportunity of bringing out a qual ity of the distinguished soldier which as deeds on the held of battle had pal ed by their brilliancy, but which none the less contributed to his greatness a well delivered, tasteful and thought ful oration. 'The American Citizen" was the sub ject J. A. Hodges, of Little River Aca demy, N. C, presented his liberty and intelligence. The speaker made popular hits by citing Vance: and Hampton as men oi whom every Araer- can could be proud. This speech was delivered in a dignified and deliberate manner, and was well received. James W. Osborne, ot Charlotte, ;N. C, animated, aggressive and full of vim, dispelled the illusion which ro mance has thrown around "The Mediae val Knight," by showing that he lacked the very essentials of noble manhood. This address was marked bv a vigor and originality of thought and a grace of oratory which excited general ad miration and applause. The philosophical oration (the third distinction) was delivered by D. A. Mc- (iregor, ot Wadesooro, .N.C, who dis cussed in a truly philosophical and able manner the relations of labor and capital. The hardest speech to make is the valedictory, but Mr. F. P. Ramsey, of Troy, Ala the first man in his class, ac quitted himself with great credit, by throwing into it an originality which is not usual. He has a very marked face, and I learned stood as well in his society as in the college, and is a young man or great promise. DEGREE8. The college has shown a most com mendable spirit by being chary with its right to confer -degrees. Not a D. D. nor an l.Li.l. was created, a. a. was conferred on all the graduating class except A. P. Brown and W. IL Cozart, (who, by the way, was unable to be pres ent at the exercises to-day). These two, having completed the scientific course, received the degree of B. S. A.

Cleveland, ohjo. Deiiarted this life. In Winston. N. C. on the 29th of May last, Mrs. Elizabeth Carter Brown, In the 69th year of her age. She received her higher education at the Salem Female Academy, when her home was in her native county, Caswell, lived for years In Davie county, and spent the close of her life near- the scenes of her early training, and where reside three of her lour surviving children. She early professed faith In Jesus Christ as her Saviour, under the ministry of Dr. N. H. Harding, and joined the Presbyterian church In Tanceyvllle; and her husband, Dr. John E, Brown, dying over 30 years agoraod leaving her with live minor chil dren, some of them quite small, she was soon made to feel that she had chosen the good part for time as well as foreternlty. Her husband's dying desire that those whom he was about to leave latheriess should be raised up In the nuture and admonition of the Lord became the great ' end of her efforts and prayers, ana sue nra aounaant rea son to rejoice, us she was wont to do, in the faith-1 fulness of a covenant keeping God who declares himself to be a father of the fatherless, and a Judge of the widow in hts holy habitation. Four survlvlving children, two sons and-two daughters, are members, of the chureb ot her love, and both the sons are ruling elders, one In the First Presby terian church of Charlotte, and the other In the Presbyterian church of Winston, and all the chil dren of her deceased son are also members of the Church. ' Her life's task was well done, and the results are living memorials of maternal prudence, affection, and devotion, ana 01 uunsuau instruction, iaiin and example; and her declining years were over shadowed by artob-nporionoo oi Divine grace, and by the tender and unremitting care of her loving offspring; As she aeared the end of her earthly pilgrimage her thoughts became' more fixed on the things beyond; and those who were on terms of Intimacy with hen could easily mark the ripening of her character tor the, higher lUe even in one oil her quiet and modest nature which shrank from the public exhibition of its inner emotions.
