il' ite I with the main school in the closing
exercises, and was un small ptil i f the
programme, The iiiu-io of the tnung
laities on this occasion, consisted of m
slrumeiital solos, duels, q iartcites and
churu-e, aod il was goueiallc agreed
among those who know, that tliev were
elegantly and artistically execulid and,
won for each and all ol Ibein, the pr.-lsi.
and congriitulatioii ol their in - y I minds

original aprcclit'S and Vocal and iuslru
mental inn ic.
Kvery thing was done in an admirable
manner. .Some ol tlie c nine recuaiious
and dialoguea brought down the house.
The declamation was excel, out.
There was noon-thing new coti-lsting of
original speeches, and a Latin speech I
think I but express Ihe ooiuion of a I
present, wlie i I sav that this speech has
never been surpassed b boys of the anile
age and advancement. The tirst, on Ihe
subject, "Kleiiienl of success" wax so
iiicelvhandledbyj.lt Herring Jr. that
il must have made his Irinnds Itol proud
of Ins present attainments, and thu bright
future w Inch surely lies before him. I
could but think also thai his Instructors
must have felt folly repaid for Iheir labor
w hen they heard ilia einviuiniins ol those
competent to Judge ia such matters. He
luo K.usl have fdl proud ol the laurel
won on this, his appearand as a p ibltc
speaker.
The -ecnnd oilginal speech w is by A. II.
Hill, Jr., mi the is 1 1 1 J c "Our I'm oi I'm--pecilvely."
K was really womlerful lo
sa how one so y.-uu could dive into the
Intricacies of government au-1 point out
the dangers threatening It, and Miggiml
such wholesome re'iiedles, I could but
think of the bright prospect of our U'li .in
destine I to let ruled by aueli mn as w
have had for the I ,sl lilti on ye ,r. an I men
like thn spe ike w i I unke. Tin. s o
would do h n- r o older heads and , ak

Tne las'. Anginal apeeclt was by
Ri harl Nel. His subject was "pool
pi lilts on llm sands ol lion .' He II nd e I
his sut-jsct very gra fully ami impres
sively, showing us that as turn nun mis
Knot prints in thn natural world would of
animal i, birds, .Vc, in the foim nf losslls,
,vc, would remain. He Is young in age,
not yet foil rle in.
The Latin speech was by Charlie 10.
Brewer, This young man did well and
brought nut lolly lbs coiiilneii tal pioiiun-'
ciat i hi, which is now being so entirely
adop'ed by ntir beat schools and college.,
I lis' e spoken nt the-.e young ;pen not
because they deserve more praise than the
nlhers, but because l heir pari was a new
feature in an exhibition.
