No Growlers.
We met a friend today from New
Light, Wake county He said he had
driven leisurely to Raleigh,and made
it a business to enquire of every one
he saw on the road about the pros
pects, and, strange to relate he did
not see a single "growler." "I never
saw it the case before in my life,"
said he. "I really believe if nothing
unusual happens, we will raise
enough in Wake county to feed the
whole of North Carolina." These
are iudeed cheering words and calcu
lated to make us all feel happy, in
view of the g'ooni that surrounded us
last season.
A Live Industry.
We invite special attention to the
advertisement of Messrs Parker
&
Harvey, plug tobacco manufactureis
These gentlemen are putting up some
of the finest brands of chewing tobac
co to be found anywhere in theSouth
and their reputation is daily increas
ing, There are no better business
men or more estimable gentlemen in
the State than Messrs Parker & Har
vey, and they are doing much to
spread abroad the fame of Raleigh in
the manufacturing line. We are
pleased to know that their trade is
daily increasing, and we hope it may
develop into enormous proportions.
The General Delivery.
We have authority for the state
ment, that our efficient Postmaster,
Col Shaffer, will use every possible
endeavor to have the general delivery
kept open longer during the day than
it now is, but this arrangement can
not be made sooner th&n the month
of July, at best. We are aware that
there is some little inconvenience
ielt in this respect, by those who do
not have boxes, and whose delivery
is not made by the carriers, but, it
requires time to bo arrange matters
as to f uit all. Col Shaffer is indefati
gable in the discharge of his duties,
and, we feel sure that nothing he
can consistently do to promote the
efficiency of the service will be left
undone.
Raleigh Male Academy.
The commencement of the Raleigh
Male Academy, Messrs Morson and
Denson, principals, passed off bril
liantly today in the presence of a large
and deeply interested audience. 'Rev
Dr Carter offered an impressive pray
er, and was followed by Maj Eugene
G Harrell in one of those stirring ad
dresses upon educational subjects for
which he is so well known. He stated
that he hai just returned from the
University where he had been happy
to learn from one of the professors
that one tenth of the entire number
of students were from, the Raleigh
Male Academy,' and that they stand
in the very highest rank of scholar
ship. A fact gratifying to our city,
and to the friends of the Academy.
The roll of distinctions was read
and list of honors rewarded. Rev Dr
J H Cordon then delivered the annu
al oration, upon the subject of the
value of Higher Education, and it
was one of the most remarkable liter
ary performances that we have ever
heard in its fine analysis, and
splendid flight of oratory. In the con
elusion, he paid a high compliment to
the proud standing of the student's
academy In the various colleges, and
c ongratulated the citizens of Raleigh.
I Tne ceremonies were concluded by
I the benediction pronounced by Rev
iati jaso.

Chapel Hill University.
The commencement exercises at this
institution closed last night with the
usual ball, and the old campus, will
soon bear the appearance of "Gold
smith's Deserted Village" for several
months to come. The students have
separated, some never to return,
while twenty one graduates are now
entered upon the busy scenes of life
It is a mingling of the sad and joyful
when the session closes. Many who
have been bound together by the
silken chords oi friendship part to
meet no more, while others go out in
the world to do better for wealth and
fame.
In looking over the trials of the
University we have something, at
least to be proud of. The grand old
Institution has arisen as it were like
Phoenix from the Ashes. At the close
of the Civil War, it was .indeed in a
sad plight, but, remembering the
glories of the past, the people of our
grand old State have not only reviv
ed it, but placed its standing on the
plane of the most favored universi
ties of the land. The outlook for a
proper endowment of a chair of His
tory is indeed a cheerful one, show
ing the interest taken by the Alumni
in their glorious old alma mater.

Off to the Seashore.
This strikes you at once, don't it?
When you saw the heading of this
"Off to the seashore" it aroused
your interest at once. Now the most
important question is, are you going?
Can you go? Is your wardrobe in a
seaside condition, if not, can you put
it in said condition, considering all
available revenues, in time to be off
with the crowd? If you only have
six or seven hundred dollars to fit up
with for this season, where can you
spend this sum to the best advant
age; or in other words, is there a
place in the city where you can fit
yourself up a wardrobe to correspond
with others that you will see at the
seashore with that six or seven hun
dred. Tou will need lots of morning,
evening and ball dresses. You will
need lots of Oxfords and operas. You
will want 16 fans. It will require lots
of laces, handkerchiefs, hose, bon
nets, wraps, &e, &c. You will need
just 1,000 other things .we can't men
tion. To put the whole thing in a
few words we can furnish you every
thing you will need and we will give
them to you at 20 per cent less than
any house in the city can at Swin
dell's.
