Welcome 1 thrice welcome 1 to this exhibition of New Berne's children, The school, my friends, is to-day in a more flourishing condition than ever since this Academy building was erected. We have on the rolls the names of five hundred and eighteen children. Isn't this announcment enough to glad den the heart of every citizen of this good old town i Five hundred and eighteen white children an being edu cated and prepared for useful work, free of expense and charge to their parents. The day has now arrived, when under the blessing of God, and by and through the energy and devotion of a large por tionof our people, every child, white and black in the city of New Berno, has it in his power to receive a good educa tion. There is now no excuse for even the most thriftless to remain in gnorance the poorest orphan can now stand upon an equal footing; so far as the advantages of this school are con cerned, with the most blessed in this world's treasure, What more can we ask for?

PRIZES AWARDED. Democratic WardMeetlnga. The Democrats of this city will hold their primary meetings to-night for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention which assembles at the court house on Saturday, the 14th of June. The meetings'will be held at the following places: First ward, at the Court House. Second ward, at Mechanic's Hook and Ladder room. Third ward, at Reliance Engine house. Fourth ward, at John Lane's shop. Fifth ward, at Hackburn's Btore. The township meeting will be held to day at the court house for the purpose of electing a township executive committee. We see some of the counties are rec ommending candidates to be nominated by the State convention. Our sister county of Jones has recommended our townsman, Mai. John Hughes, for Lieu tenant Governor and Craven will doubt less do the same thing when the con vention assembles on the 14th. We have generally opposed instructing del egates, but we see no harm in commend ing one of our leiiow citizens to ine consideration of a State or county con- m m DIED.

After weeks' of anxiety we have at last been able to contract for the building you see before you, the trus tees furnishing from the funds of the Academy the sum of four thousand dol lars, and the remainder to be made up by the citizens. Determine to-day that there shall be no step backward. All of our people that have not already con tributed let them now go forward and suDscribe. There will be in the new building a library room where will be kept stan dard books, magazines and the princi pal newspapers of the country. Any of the citizens can have the beneht and privilege of the library, sit there, read and examine the books, and carry any book to your home upon giving a proper receipt for the same. ': ..- The library contains now although in its Very infancy, one thousand volumes. It is confidently hoped that the number of volumes can be increased at the rate of one thousand per year. , Most of those books have been purchased with the money raised from the various enter tainments given during the year under the supervision of he school. The ob ject of the Board of trustees and teach ers i8,to bring about among the pupils a fondness for general and standard lite rature, a love of letters, and thus elevate and refine the community bring it back to what it was, in point of refine' ment, taste for literature and general culture, in the days of our grandfathers and grandmothers. In those Rood old days when New Berne bore the proud title of "Athens "or forth Carolina. It has been decided to-day to award diplomas to those pupils who have sat isfactorily finished their course of studv, With these few observations we will proceed to the exercises of the day, Next on the programme was the ' , . 1 - " SALUTATORY by Miss Mary Allen, of the graduating forward to accept it a shower of boquets were hurled at him.

The cane presentation was followed by a song Auld Lang Syne from the Third and Fourth Grades in words well suited for the occasion. DIPLOMAS. The graduating class, Misses Mary Allen and Leah Jones and Mr. Fred Thomas, were presented diplomas by the President of the Board in the follow ing language: Take these evidences of your scholar ship and good conduct, and cherish them as among your most precious or naments, in alter years, when you grow Ho be old men and women, this day will be one among the brightest in your memories. Recollecting that knowledge is power, stop not herein your pursuit of the same, but press for ward to tne front rank, and endeavor to stand, a peer among the wise, the good and honored of the earth." '. 'THE RESPONSE. The response, by Miss Lottie Hubbs, was well .read, but her sweet, gentle yoice is not strong enough for reading to a large out-door audience, conse quently many did not bear it distinctly, though it was well received by all.
