The Commence ihent Concert of the Peace Institute on Wednesday night was one of the most enjoyable occasions, of the kind we ever attended. We would like to publish the pro gramme in lull, but our space forbids. The Hall was not only filled, but large numbers gathered near the doors and windows unable to secure seats. For two hours and a half, the audience were not only entertained but charmed with vocal and instrumental music of the highest order, and those most competent to judge pronounce the exnibi tion one of rare merit. Miss Jennie Hannah, one of the gradu ates and who is particularly distinguish ed tor exquisite , singing, was called home several days ago by domestic affliction, and there was universal regret expressed at her absence. She was of course missed ; but the concert was in every respect all that the friends and patrons - of the school could desire. There were beautilul songs, trilled by sweet and well trained voices; and the instrumental pieces were executed with a correctness, proficiency and skill that reflected great honor upon Prof. A. Baumann, the accomplished and effi cient musical instructor. The concert was in fact a ; ind sue- cess, and everybody seemed di lighted. The Peace Institute has closet , its first scholastic year with unprecedei ited suc- cess. The Messrs. Burwell have shown themselves to be worthy and competent instructors uud are the right men to be a: the head of a high school lor young ladies. They have already placed the Peace Institute in the Iront rank of Southern teiuale institutions, and Ral eigh hasjuit reason to be proud ot such a school. Reported for the Dally News.

I The following gentlemen werejelected commissioners to Chattanooga t confer witn tne united Friends of Temper- ance upon the subject of consolida tion : Rev. R. II. Wbitaker, of N. 0. Rev. W. B. Wellona, ofVa. Rev. T. A. Carruth, of Fla. ALTERNATES. Mj. Chas. H Allen, of Miss. Rev. J. W. Wellons, ot N. C. ... Uev. J. D. Whitley, of Va. The Council then; took a recess until 5 p. m.

Twenty-Fourth of June at Ox - rd Orphan Asylum. -The celebra tion of St. John's day (24th, inst.) at Oxford, by Tuscarora Lodge No. 122 of Masons and members of the fraternity from other sections of the State, in con nection with the exercises at the Ors phan Asylum, was an occasion of great interest to the Masons and the friends of the Asylum who participated. The day was. auspicious, and the people came from far and near-as if some great event were to transpire. It was truly a great event, the reminiscences of which will ever remain Iresh with all who wit nessed it. ' At about 10 o'clock a. m., the mem bers of the Masonic fraternity, under the direction of W. A. Philpott, Esq., Master, and Dr. L. C. Taylor, Marshal, moved in procession from the Lodge Hall to the Asylum where they were re ceived by Mr. J. IL Mills, Superinten dent. General disappointment was express ed at the absence of the distinguished gentlemen who were expected to deliver addresses. The announcement previ ously published that the Rev. George Patterson, of Wilmington, Rev. Dr. B. Craven, of Trinity College, and Hons. M. W. Ransom and R. B. Yance would, perhaps, address the people, tended, no doubt, to vastly -increase the number which, according to estimate, approxi mated two thousand. Their absence was doubtless unavoidable. Tbi3 part" of the programme was. however, not seriously interrupted. Rev. P. A. Strobel, agent of the American Bible Society, J. H. Mills,Esq., Dr. Abner Gay, of Granville county, Rev; J. R. Grif fith, Methodist minister at Oxford, and Rev. T. J. Horner, of Henderson, de livered impromptu addresses entirely appropriate to the occasion. The effect produced by the eloquent and fervent appeals of the speakers to the sympathy and liberality of the people in behalf of the Asylum, was clearly seen in the ready response on their part by liberal voluntary contributions. The 24th of June is regarded by the Masonic fraternity as one of its festive days, and celebrated in commemoration of one ot its Patron Saints', and while this day was considered as one devoted to masonry, yet it was set apart for gen eral observance. Oxford and the rural districts of Granville county were represented in the persons of their hundreds of beauti ful daughters, whose sympathies for the grand charitable enterprise established in their midst, were fully demonstrated. The exercises in the chapel of the building, occupying the morning and afternoon, conducted by the Rev. A. D. Cohen and W. A. Philpott, Esq., were of the most interesting character. They were interspersed with singing by the orphan children, one dialogue and speaking, as before announced. Occupying the seats in. front of the audience were the fifty-four orphan children . in neat uniform attire, whose countenances indicated happiness, and gave evidence ot their heart-felt appre ciation of the scenes around them. Their general behavior told of the man ner in which they had been trained by their tutors,. The effect of the singing by the chil dren, especially the sentiments of many ot their delightful songs, was such as to cause stout-hearted men to weep. it is nere remarked that, n the pro gress made in the other brauches of the educational department, is measured by the proficiency displayed in the singing, the Institution is already a grand suc cess, so tar as the educational interests are concerned. An elegant, plain and bountiful repast was partaken of at about 1 o'clock. We do not know to whom to ascribe the praise for the creditable manner in which this part of the programme was arranged and conducted, unless to Mr. Mills, (who is a "master ot many trades and success ful in all,") and his associates. . During the exercises at the Chapel in the afternoou, un ier the influence of the stirring speechei of Dr. Gay, (who by. the way regrets that he has' lived to an elderly age without being a Mason,) Rev. Mr. Gnfhth and Rev. T. J. Horner, and while the children were rendering their sweetest songs, Masons and friends sent forward their free will offerings of funds, without any special effort in theordina ry way, until quite a handsome sum was raised. We understand that the amount realized during the day. 'exclusive of drafts for liberal sums from gentlemen at a distance, residents of the State, was between five and six hundred dollars. Mr. R. W. Hardie, Junior Grand War den of the Grand Lodge, presented to the Superintendent, on behalf of mem bers of Phoenix Lodge, and citizens of Fayetteville, a draft for more than $150. Other drafts for liberal amounts enclosed in letters of sympathy tor the enterprise, were received from Hons. D. M. Barrin ger, of Raleigh, and Weldon N. Ed wards, ot Warifen. The two last gen tlemen are not Masons, but friends ot the order. The ceremonies closed at about 4 o'clock and the multitude dispersed. Prayers, no doubt, ascended from many hearts that grand results might flow from the demonstration of the day, and that Heavenly benedictions might rest upon the labors of those to whom the interests of the orphan children are en trusted. The object of this article is not only to give an account, though brief, dis connected, and by no means faithful, of the day's celebration, but to submit some statements in reference to the Or phan Asylum, 'which it is hoped will reach the eye of not only Masons but tjie people generally throughout the en .tjre State. " . :A After years of discussion in" the Grand Lodge ot this State as to the proper disposition of "St. John's College," it w as determined, at the Annual Commu mcation in December last, to make it an urpnan Asylum for the " protection training and education ot indigent orpnan cuuaren." ut this, however, the people have already been advised - A A put we reiterate n nere to preserve a connection. The Grand Lodged appropriates an nually $500 to the support of the insti tution, which, according to its income is liberal. The success of the asylum depends upon the voluntary contribu tions of the people. The benefits of the asylum are offered to indigent orphans whether of Masons or not. The people, including the ladies, of the State have done much the Masons have also. Thus far the measure of success to which the institution has attained, is owing to the voluntary aid extended to the amount given by the Grand Lodge, But it cannot be sustained as it should be unless the people become more active in their efforts. The manner in which the Superinten dent, Mr. J. H. Mills, has thus far con ducted the affairs of the institution is highly creditable, and fully demon strates the wisdom of the Grand Ldge in selecting him. He is economical, yet as liberal as the metns with which he is provided will justity. His co workers in the institution are : Rev. A. D. Cohen, Principal Teacher and resident Manager. Misses Jane Long and Mia C. Grandy, Teachers. Mrs. Robards, formerly of Salisbury, Matron. . Mrs. A. D. Cohen, House-keeper. "We were glad tolsee manifested, on the part of the managers and teachers, a disposition to labor faithfully for the promotion ot the comiort ot the chil dren, and for their mental and moral training, and in turn the affection on the part of the children for those in charge of them. If the kind attention of the teachers and managers to the children on this public occasion com ports with their every-day treatment within the precincts of the Home, the Institution cannot fail to dispense the social blessings necessary to make a home happy. The institution commends itselt to the liberal support of our whole people. The citizens of Granville have done nobly for it, and are still doing their duty, but they cannot do all. We ap peal to the ladies of the State to help. They can do much. We feel that we could wish that every Mason in North Carolina could see the magnificient building with its beautiful surroundings, which, under the auspices of the order, and the pat ronage of a generous people is destined, we hope, to remain forever the home ot the orphan, from which thousands may go out into the word entirely retormeu and to become useful citizens. WAKE FOREST COLLEGE COM MENCEMENT. Tby our special reporter. L . i THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The crowd in attedance was largely augmented on the arrival of the 10 o'clock train from Raleigh by two car loads of ladies and gentlemen. At 10i o'clock the exercises of the day were commenced in the Chapel by the Rev. Dr. Hatcher, of Virginia, lead ing in Draver. and after music by the band, the latin salutatory was delivered by Mr. W. O. McDowell, of Murfreesboro, N. C. It may have been a good thing for aught we know, that is we mean in sentiment, but the delivery was fully equalled to any Cath olic Priest we ever heard .at mass; in fact we think Mr. McDowell, but tor his good looks and being a favorite with the ladies generally, would make an ex cellent Priest, but we speak whereof we know when we say he is too far gone now to ever conform to that unnatural requirement never to wed. The second oration was to have been delivered by Mr. R. T. Vann, of Heitf ard county. N. C. but was omitted on ac count of recent illness of the speaker. Mr. A. R. Jones, of Raleigh, delivered a most excellent and practical address on OUR ALMA MATER, in which he referred to , the present condition of Wake Forest and the duty of the Baptists, the people and Alumni especially, to come to its rescue. In his review ot the history or the uoliege since its organization in 1832, he paid just and glowing tribute, to the memory of the late Ret. Samuel Wait, D. D., whose assiduous labors in beln of the College, at a salary of $1 per day, promoted its success Lack of space alone prevents us giving a general svnoDsis ot the excellent enort oi Mr, Jones. Mr. Henrv T. Tranthani, of Kershaw county, S. C, followed with a well writ ten and well delivered discourse on EXCELLENCE THE REWARD OF MUCH LABOR, in which he acquitted nimseii nana- somelv and with credit to his good old but now down-tiodden State. DIE PROMOTION was a German speech, and delivered by Mr. J. J. Vann, of Hertford county, N C. We followed Mr. vann Closely in his argument, but cannot in justice to ourself endorse his ideas in toto, for in stance when he astonished the audience with the startling announcement Die Framatwn st nut alien semen freudon una trauriakeiten" it wa3 more than we could swallow at one mouthlul, but at the same time give him full credit for being honest in his opinion. A gen tleman standing near us whose appear ance and odor strongly indicated his fondness for lager beer and sour krout, remarked to us, " dat ish goot, von very goot speech. ' upon his authority we so state it. THOSE WHO DESIRE A NATION 8 PRAISE, was the theme selected by Mr. E. W. Timberlake, of Wakfc Forest, N.C. The subject was a good one and most beau tifully and eloquently drawn out by the young orator. His reference to the im mortal Lee and others of the Confede rate dead pleased and delighted the au dience. Mr. N. B. Cannady, ; of Granville county, being next in order, amused the audience to no small extent on THE MILK' OF HUMAN KINDNESS. The fashions of the present day were unmasked in all their hideous deformi ty, the bump, rump, double head and other additions to the present female wearing apparel were dissected, (we mean verbally); the country loving politicians got a share of the spoils, and others that we have not space to men tion. It was not only very amusing, but a plain, practical, sensible address on the lollies and fallacies of the present age, and our only salvation dependant upon a fair and liberal allowance of that saving virtue "the milk of human kindness." The other addresses which we have not time now to write up (as it is near the mail hour) were as follows: Music. Oration : "Gently Scan Thy Fellew Man." W. O. McDowell,, Murfreesboro, N. C. Music. Oration : There is Life in the Old Land Yet. J. J. Vann, Hertford coun ty, N. C. Music. Valedictory Address : R. T. Vann, Hertford county, N. C. ; Conferring Degrees and President's Address to Graduating Qass. The President, Rev. Dr. Wingate, conferred the degree of Scholarship and Diplomas to W. O. McDowell, Murfreesboro', N. C. R. T. Vann, Hertford county, N. C. A. R. Jones, Raleigh, N. C. Henry T. Tranthani, Kershaw coun ty, S. C. J. J. Vann, Hertford county, N. C. -E. W. Timberlake, Wake Forest, N. C. N. B. Cannady, Granville county, N. C. After which the President delivered his annual speech to the graduating class. The address was one ot those fine productions for which Dr. Win gate is justly distinguished. Space necessarily prevents a synopsis of the remarks, even were we competent for the task. Mr. R. T. Vann. as the valedictorian of the occasion, we are pleased to say, made the finest effort that has been known at the college tor years. As he appeared on the stage his armless sleeves were quickly perceived by the audience who greeted him with rounds and rounds oi applause. Though deprived of these two all important arms of his body, Mr. Vann neverthe less writes a very good hand is endow ed with a superior native mind, and now fresh from college with all the ac complishments of a finished education, his course will necessarily be "onward and upward." The exercises close with the annual sociable party to-night. The press is largely represented; eight newspapers editorially represented. Last year the Daily News was the only paper represented. Glad to see we have accomplished some good. lesterday evening there was a MEETING OF TIIE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Vacancies in Board of Trustees were supplied by the election of Mills L. Eure, ot Gates county, Geo. R. French, ot Wilmington, J. (X Scarhofo, Slma, W. W. Holden, Raleigh;- aad Rev. J. B. Richardson, of High Point. A question was settled which has agitated the entire co:nmunity for some time, that is the removal ot the Rail road Depot a mile below to the College, and to conciliate the people of Forest ville where the depot has been hereto fore located. The Trustees agreed to re quest the railroad corporation to place the new depot at a point nearer Forest ville than, was originally proposed. Much other business was transacted, but nothing of special public interest save that no D. D. or LL. D's were made at this session. ASSOCIATION. ? At the meeting of the Alumni Asso ciation, held Wednesday night, Rev. F. II. Ivey was chosen President for the ensuing year, Uharles 11. Martin, Vice- President, Prof. L. R. Mills, Secretary, and Prof. W. G. Simmons, Treasurer. On motion ot T. H. Pritchard, it was agreed that as the college had adopted the university system of district schools, graduate in any one school ot the col- ege should be regarded as entitled to election to-membership in the Associa tion. It was also agreed to appoint a com mittee to make arrangements for giving an Alumni dinner at the next anniver sary of the society. Rev.. A. J. Luierson, ot Missouri, was chosen orator tor the anniversary of 1874. with R. F. Marable. of . North Carolina, as alternate. THE ANNUAL SERMON was preached Wednesday night by the Rev. Dr. Hatcher, ot Petersburg, Va., he having for his text the ICth verse of the 6ch chapter of the Book of Judges. It was an able sermon, the subject being well handled by this eloquent divine Supreme Court.- Court met.yester- day at 9 a. m. All the Justices present except Judge Boyden who is still de tained by sickness. The following cases were argued: S. P. Caldwell vs. R. J. Realty, Gas ton. W. P. Bynum and II. VV. Uuion for plaintiff and D. Schenck lor defend ant. , G. W. McKee vs. Jacob Sineberger, Lincoln. D. Schenck and W. P. By num for plaintiff and J. II. Wilson and H. W. Guion for defendant. The Court adjourned to meet this morning at the usual hour. Piedmont Springs. This really pleasant and attractive North Carolina Summer resort opens for the reception of visitors on the 1st prox.

The Thermometer yesterday was as follows at Branson's Book Store : At9a.m 70 At 12 m.. . . 73 At 3 p. m . 76 At 6 p. m.. ,.77 St. John's Day in Wilson. Our Wilson correspondent, under date of the 25th inst., gives ua the following : Dear News: Please be kind enough to grant place in your columns to a brief communication from one who is naturally desirous of giving just promi nence on proper occasions, to his adop ted home. St. John's Day, (June 24th) was in all probability pretty generally observed by the Masonic fraternity throughout the fitate, but I cannot admit that any place pf the same size took precedence of Wilson in any ot the usages and cere monies appropriated to the aniversary. The Brotherhood met in their hall about 10 o'clock a. m. and there arranged their order of procession, whence they marched to the Courthouse, which had been fitted up for the public installation ot officers for the year next ensuing that day. , Worshipful Master Georie W. Blount, Esq., introduced, as orator of I the day, our esteemed and well-known fellow citizen, Major John W. Dunham. The speaker added fresh reputationto his already accumulated triumphs. It (the speech) was pronounced by gentle men who heard it, the finest of its kind to which they had ever listened. The opinion of an incognito is of little value, but I can not forbear saying that it would have made the reputation of a man who had not himself equaled it by so many other brilliant examples. The officers were then installed by Past Master John W. Dunham as fol lows : George W: Blount, W. M. C. J. Rouutree, S. W. S. B. Waters, J. Wv A. Farmer, Treasurer. T. S. Kenan, Secr'y. Jas. E. Clark, S. D. Robert S. Barnes, J. D. II. W. Peele, T. R. W. King, W. J. Harris, Stewards. This ceremony over the fraternity formed in line again and marched to the hotel of our enterprising townsman, B. D. Stith, Esq., where a rich and varied, collection awaited them. I regret that I am compelled tot make this last affir mation onbelief only, but as one of the wmte aproneci Samaritans came-to me after all was over and protested that he could not find me in time to give me an invitation, my wonted amiability is un ruffled. But if this offence is repeated I shalljin all probabihty,give extensive cir culation to the report that the Masons here on St. John the Baptist's day con fine themselves to the locusts and wild honey of their patron. M. Patrons op Husbandry. Yesterday Col. Aiken, Deputy of the National Grange tor this State and South Caro lina, addressed the citizens of this countv in the Court House in this city, taking as his sumect the " Patrons of Husbandry." So much has already been written in regard to CoL Aiken and his mission amongst us, that we deem it unnecessary in this notice to go into minute particulars. The address, we learn, was an earnest and practical one, replete with sound advice to the farm ers. Col. Aiken claimed that the Associa tion bad notlnng ,to yo with politics, but was simply intended to advance and protect the interests of the agricul turists. We are glad that a number of our country friends were present to hear him. At the conclusion o. the address a Grange was tormed with the follow ing oracers and members : Master A T Mial. Overseer Jesse Taylor. Lecturer RTFulghum. Steward H N Parker. Assistant Steward B W Green. Chaplain M A Bledsoe. . Treasurer Joel D Whitaker. Secretary N P Jones Gate Keeper W T Howell. Ceres Mrs R T Fulghum. Pomona Mrs Victoria Mial. Flora Mrs B W Green. Assistant Steward Mrs V C Wil liams. The following are the members who have so far enrolled their names : PRHines, Caswell Powell, J T Harris, E W Pou, Mrs D M Bledsoe, Mrs S II Phillips, G W Phillips, John M Wilson, C W Williams, G C Taylor, JohnS Johns. We learn that on the 9th prox., the sub Granges of the State will send dele gates to this city and organize a State Grange, on which occasion Col. Aiken will be present. I. O. O. F. Seaton Gales Lodge No. 64, last night elected the following offi cers : M. V'B. Gilbert, N. G. W. B. Hutchings, V. G. G. H. Williams, R. S. B. C. Manly, F. S. J. C. Blake, T. . J. O. Blake. Phil.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. - Boiler Exprosions. Washington, June 26th. The Board of Commissioners appointed by the President to inquire into the canses of the steamboiler explosions, &c.. was or ganized by the appointment of D. D Smith, Supervising Inspector General of steam vessels, as chairman and Geo. W. Taylor, of the Steamboat Inspecting Bureau as. Secretary. Messrs. Coland, . Low-and Meashaw were appointed as a ' committee lor the east and to-day made a reprot as to the objects of the. ex peri-" ments which arc to take place at Sandy Hook. . . ' V Messrs. Holmes,' Crawford and Deve-' . ny were appointed a committee for the ' West, and they also presented a plan ot r operations at Pittsburg. ,:- ; Messrs. Low, Menshaw and Uevany are the Supervising Inspectors of the Second, Third and Seventh Districts, . and were present, by invitation of the committees, to whom was referred the question of the experiments to be made , and the preparation necessary therefore. offered a joint report as presenting the views under which their separate -reports of the necessary work ot the easterly and westerly sections respec tively, had, been prepared. They say : "As respects the experiments to be made we assume that to carry out and secure the objects for which "the appro- " . priation was made, they .should be of such a practical character as shall to a greater, or less degree dispose of the va- , rious theories now entertained respect'' ing the cause or causes of the.most.vio- lent and destructive explosions Of steam boilers, and which heretofore all exam ination ot the debris and investigation after the explosion have failed to dis cern. Also, if ; possible, at the. result of the experiments to point out some. protection from such explosions. We deem it 'important that the truth or fallacies f, the various theories held by scientists, engineers and experts 4n re yard to the cause or causes of these ex- . plosions, should, it possible, be settled and determined by actual experiment on a practical scale." The report then enumerates the most prominent theo ries or hypothesis, and concludes as fol lows: uWe should state that by the; term 'explosion' as used in the report, we mean to imply these burstings of a Very violent and destructive character. as distinguished from a mere opening or rupture of a weak part of the struc ture which results in little or no dam- . age other than to the boiler itselt." The , report was adopted. A resolution was passed inviting all persons interested in the proceedingsof this commission, ana ' the experiments to be carried oat by them, to make any suggestions in regard to the character and scope of the ex periment, which, in their opinion, will best obtain the object in view, and that . any communications upon the subject will be addressed to Captain D. D. Smith, Supervising Inspector General, Washington, D. C. The comm'ssion adjourned sine die. The Shrewd Escape of Wagner.
