The Raleigh Male Academy.
We must not omit to notice the
closing exercises, on Friday last, of
the Raleigh Male Academy, Messrs.
Morsou and Denson, Principals. Many
of our most eminent citizens were
present. The oration was to have
been delivered by Wm. S. Primrose,
Esq., on "The Halcyon Days of
Youth," but the sad family affliction
of which our readers are aware, pre
vented his attendance The princi
pals gave an account of the labors of
the school for the past year in its
many and varied departments. It
had maintained its high standard of
scholarship, and had enjoyed its most
successful year, having an enroll
ment of 120 pupils. A number of
these are from the country, chiefly
from Wake A very gifted class is
ready for college, some of whom have
completed the freshman course, and
many others have taken a thorough
business course. Five of its students
had graduated at the University the
day before Messrs. Andrews, Ashe,
Fleming, G. Oral. am and P. Graham.
The 1 ist of distinctions were read,
and Rev. N. B. Cobb presented the
certificates of honor. Rev. Dr. J. J.
Hall made a most admirable im
promptu address, in which, after ex
pressing his pleasure at the superb
organization and management of the
school, and the lofty demeanor of the
pupils as scholars and gentlemen, he
attributed its success to the true
cause, the close individual training
which each pupil receives for che de
velopment of his powers. He paid an
eloquent tiibute to the principals,
and warmly congratulated the pat
rons of the school and the city upon
the existence of an institution which,
in the opinion of the professors of the
colleges, is not excelled in the results
it receives in moral and mental train
ing anywhere in the country. We
understand that the. prospects for
next year are bright, and the opem
ing will occur on the first Monday in
September.
Honor to Whom Honor is Due.
A Handsome Testimonial.
A memorial in the shape of a brass
and silver altar cross has been placed
in Christ (Jhurch commemorative of
Aldert Smedes and his wife, Mrs.
Sarah Lyell Smedes. Mr. Smedes is
well remembered by our elder citi
zens as the beloved principal of St.
Mary's school, in which capacity he
was succeeded by his son, Rev. Ben
nett Smedes, the present principal.
The inscription engraved on the base
of the cross is: 'To the glory of God.
In living remembrance of Aldert
Smedes and bis wife, Sarah Lyell
Smedes. Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of his saints."

Correspondence of the Visitor.
As a member of the Raleigh Baptist
Tabernacle Sunday School and as one
of the managers of an excursion given
by them the 26 inst. I desire to ex
press through the columns of your pa
per my appreciation of the services
rendered by P. J. Brown, of the R &
D. R. R. , and in doing so, I say with
out the slightest hesitation, that I
voice the sentiment of the entire
party, (who was cognizant of the ser
vice he rendered on our homeward
trip,) that but for his vigilance and
efficient service, instead of reaching
Raleigh at 2:30 in the morning, it is
highly probable we would have been
somewhere on the road when the sun
rose next morning. Capt. Brown was
not only attentive on his own road,
but equally so on the Atlantic and
North Carolina.
It is not our desire to detract from
any one else connected with the
roads, but We want Peyton to know
that wo especially appreciated his
services on that occasion and that
this is not, the sentiment of ' B" only,
but that of scores of others B.
