At the late examination of the pupils of the New York Institution for Deaf Mutes, the highest testimonial for excellent scholarship and good be havior was awarded to Master Al bert Johnson Andrews, son of Mrs. Harriet Andrews, of this city, and grand son of our fellow-citizen, Al bert Johnson, Esq. As a compli ment to the efficiency of the youth, Mr. Bobbins, a member of the Board of Education for the State of Xgw York, volunteered to defray all the expense necessary to con tinue him at the Institution until his course is finished, it is the in tention of Mrs. Andrews to have him thoroughly educated, after which he will doubtless be assigned to some position of usefulness. alt Considerable difficulty was experienced in empanelling the jury, as most of our people had al ready formed and expressed opin ions as to the guilt of the prisoner. Miss. 'Haley set forth in a plain manner the details of the horrible crime of which she was the victim, and her manner upon the stand bore evidences of her veracity in every particular. At the close of he case, the jury retired only for a ew minutes and brought in a ver dict of guilty. Messrs. J. B. Batch elor and Armistead Jones were assigned as counsel for the defence, and performed Iheir duties as well as the circumstances of the case would admit. The sentence of the Judga was that the criminal be ex ecuted on Friday, the 24th inst., between the 1 hours of 12 m. and 1 p. m., and that the sentence be car ried out within the jail enclosure. Unfortunate. On Friday, the 3d inst, about 7 o'clock, a. m., Mr. Lemuel Yearby. a member of the firm of Yearby & Rogers, started from his store on Hargett street to cro to breakfast. Not returning at the usual time, his partner sent to his residence and was told by his wife that he had left. A search was at one' instituted, and he was finally found near the Hillsboro road, beyond St. Mary's Institute, in an unconscious condition, labor ing under the effects of a fit. . He was removed to his house where he still remains very ill. Some months ago Mr. Yearby was wounded by the accidental discharge of a pistol, which doubtless accounts for the aberration of mind ho is occasion ally attacked with. Ai'oMXiHTic.

The announcement that the mother bank of this institution at Wash ington City had suspended payment of deposits, and that its branches throughout the. South were instruct ed to pursue the same course, has causc-d considerable anxiety among our colored lei low-citizens. We notice from the dispatches of the :td inst., that in Washington City, many are disposing of their account books at a ruinous discount. We hope our colored friends will not be induced to follow this rash example, hut await further devel opments. In winding up, it is expected that ninety-three cents on the dollar will by realized, and any offer un der that figure ought to be rejected at present. There are many men on the lookout to entrap the igno rant. They should be shunned. The Glorious Fourth. To-day (Saturday) is the fourth day of July. Think of it. Ninety-eight years ago our fathers, driven to despera tion by the iron heel of despotic power, firmly resolved to declare in the face of the civilized world their inherent right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Regardless of the fact, that in or der to accomplish the desired boon, long years of toil and misery would confront them, yet they prepared to "do or die." They accomplished the grand work and erected on this Western continent an Empire, which, let us-iaope, will be the wel come refuge oN.the liberty-loving for all time to come. Since that immortal declaration was first pro mulgated to the world, we have steadily advanced in civilization, and the thirteen weak and impov erished States have grown into f power whose towering strength, when put to the test.causes "nations to tremble and monarchs turn pale." Who can estimate our growth in thefuture? Already stretching from sea to sea, and from the frozen wa of the North to the burning plains of Mexico, doubtless in the next fifty years we can truly; realize the poetical dream and exclaim, -. "No pent-up UUca contracts our powers, For tue whole boundless continent is ours." Let us, of the living present, do our duty toourselves, our country and our God. Let us remember this day, the bloody field of Bunker Hill, the dark, despondent clouds that overhung our little band at Valley Forge, and thank God that they were followed by the closing I. O. O. F.
