As an evidence of their popularity there has not been an evening since MessrsWhiting Bros have commenced closing their place of business at 7 o'clock but that they were compelled - to turn away at least half a dozen customers.

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. Special Rates. Davidson College Commekce- mebt.

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.
