The steamer was on her Return from Annapolis with thirty three excursionists, a band of six i sicians and the boat's crew of five men making in all forty-four on board. Soon after the steamer left Annapolis harbor it was ascertained that she was making watei. Matters were serious but the fears of all were to some extent allayed by the Captain and officers who assured them that it was" only temporary. The high sea nnd wind caused the Captain to seek, harbor and he ran in to the mouth of the Magothy river along side of a large dredge, against the windward Rule, the heavy thumping making leaks in i.lio stern and bow. The excursionists disembarked to the dredge, where some of the ladies passed a disagreeable night from sea .sickness.' The dredge;- was reached by the steamer at 'll:30p. m find at 3:30 a. ra." the Gazelle went down i i two fathoms of water. At 5 o'clock t o tug Victoria hove in view, saw the i rmls from the , dredge, made for it ml took the party to baltimore. V In the list of passengers we notice : i?3 Annio and Ilennio Blackwell nnerly of. this city. They are step' "'.liters of J. W. Gunner,. Esq.. and 'r.-t. W. F Rountree and the J. W. Walker, find have r 1 " iil'lf r'uh I to enforcing dicipline. If our beloved principal, Prof. Thomas, should whip a child with a switch ne larger than your Core hnger, the whole town would raise a hue and cry; and the professor would be fortunate if he escaped the rough hands of the police. What then would this generation of New Bernians have done with Mr. Atmore for daring to use the pillory as a means of punishment ? And what would be their horror on en tering one of the rooms of our school to find one little mtn walking around the room with a bag of sand fastened to the COMMERCIAL. there. Music was furnished by the- end of his iacket, and another perched Salem Band, and every one seemed to I upon the big brass fender, enjoying a enjoy the occasion. At the banquet of delightful horseback ride, as a reward the graduating class everything was in tor his diligence in tne study ot mis good order, and perhaps more beautiful chief; as might have been seen in Mr women were gathered around the festal Wadsworth 's school. We hope we do board than before since commencement no wrong to the memory of these good of '81. We would mention some of the men by recalling these remniscenses of ladies in attendance, but we would oo- their methods; and we are sure cupy more space than is allowed us. At that no recollection of actual any rate we will say that Miss Arm field experience has kept these facts fresh in of Monroe, Miss Hussey of Greensboro, the minds of our good townsmen, miss Thompson of Goldsboro, Miss Sit- Messrs.

The exercises began on night, June 7th, by declamations from members of the Freshman Class Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Dr. L. S. Burkhead preached the annual ser mon to the Theological Society. A large crowd came out to hear the Doctor, and we heard the sermon spoken of as being one of his best efforts. This is the fourth time Dr. B. has been invited to preach at Trinity on commencement occasions since our. recollection. His reputation a pulpit orator is second to that of none in the State. Monday night, declamations by mom bers of the Sophomore Class wei e heard and with them began the contest for medals. Mr. L. P. Skeen, of Mont gomery, received the medal. Tuesday night, the dignilied juniors delivered orations and Mr. C. W. Rob' inson, of Montgomery, won tho orator's medal of this class- On Wednesday a large concourse of people were assembled in the new chapel to hear the annual sermon which was to be preached by Kev. Mr Milburn, D. D. At 11 o'clock this dis tinguished orator arose, and for an hour and a half held his vast audience spell bound by the magic of his eloquence We will not attempt to outline his ser mon, for we are incapable of perform ing the task and do not desire to detract anything from the splendid effort made by the Doctor. All who have heard him know with what force, and effect he preaches. . At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the an nual address was delivered by Prof. A. W. Mangum, D. D., of Chapel Hill. We did not have the good fortune to hear the address, but from every source we heard it spoken of as being a master piece of good sense combined with sparkling wit, and at times with soul- stirnng eloquence. - At oi in the evening the College bell again summoned the people, and this time its pea's were willingly responded to. for no less a man than Rev. N. M. Jurney Trinity's favorite Alumnus- was to deliver the annual address before the Alumni Association. Mr. Jurney 's address was in good taBte, practical, full of good sense, and was pronounced by critics to be the finest address of the kind ever delivered at this institution. Prof. J. D. Hodges read a poem which would have excited the resistibilities of the most dignified, and sedate. 'Twas full of humor and certainly was well received by the audience; with this the exercises of the day closed, so iaras the public are concerned. The members of the graduating class repaired to their rooms to prepare for the morrow. The young ladies present were entertained by the other classes. whose speeches and addresses, while of minor importance to the public, were duly appreciated by the ladies. Thursday morning it was cloudy, and for a time we were afraid it would prove an unauspicious day, but soon the clouds were dispelled and the sun. shone out brilliantly. Long before the time for the exercises to begin, the vast multi tude commenced to assemble, and by 11 o'clock the chapel was crowded at least 2,000 people were in attendance, The following programme was gone through with: - .- Prayer, by Rev. T. W. Guthrie. ORATIONS BY THE GRADUATING CLASS. A. Tariff; Alexander Archie Bulla, Davidson county, N. C. 2. Heart Life; Andrew Lee Wynn, Kiageway, w. u ' 3.

Johnson. ; Mr, Johnson is a fine sneaker, and every one was pleased with the decision. v He fully showed his devotion to his State in the selection of his subject and in the subject matter of his address. He disclosed many hidden treasures that were to a large portion of his audience before unknown. His man ner, was graceful and his enunciation clear and distinct. '.'He is only eighteen yptirs ot age, and, nil will agree, has IirHHatit future before him. All of the in attendance, friday morning came too' soon, but the "world do move," and when the sun showed its light on the eastern horizon we packed our bundle and started for home. In all it was the most pleasant commencement we ever attonded. THE SCHOOL. An Essay In) Miss Leah Jones, read at the close of the and session of the ivew Heme uraaea school, 1834 is the hundred birth year of our school. That is to say, the legislature in 1784 conferred upon it its present corporate name, with high powers, priv lieges and franchises. The school, how ever, had been in existence twenty years Derore it was honored with a name. Our school, therefore, is 120 years old. We hardly know whether to call it old or young. You know time is long or short by comparison: and. while 120 years is a short time in the history of an old country like England; when we travel that distance backward in the life of our young nation, we reach its infancy and it seems a long time. Think of it for a moment! Our school is older than the government of the United States. While North Caro lina Was yet a colony before those free institutions, which have won the ad miration or the world, and made our land an asylum, for the oppressed of all countries, had assumed shape in 'the minds of the patriots of '76: before that famous declaration which severed us from the mother country, our school had an existence. We do not mean that there was simply a school house a school taught upon these grounds, but that what we now call the New Berne Academy had,- before any of these memorable epochs in our national his tory, become a public institution, by enactment of the legislative authority of the settlement. It is indeed an in teresting fact, and should be a matter of pride to us all, that the first law upon our statute nook, passed tor the en couragement of learning and literature, was the act which authorized the erec tion, in the "town of New Berne" (not then risen to the dignity of a city 1. of the school house spoken of above. During its 100 years of checkered life. the New Berne Academy has been under the guardianship and care of wise and noble men, Among its first board of teachers are names which but to men tion fills us wilh reverence and lespect. Richard Caswell, John W. Stanly and Richard D. Speight are some of them, and the rest were worthy to be their as sociates. ' The Academy was not lean fortunate in its first principal. Mr. Irving, a learned and pious minister of the Epis copal faith, first filled that important position. Tie was not only a good man, but full of energy and love for his work. a : sad mishap now overtook our school. The house built by the legisla tive authority in 1764, was in 1795 burned to the ground. But the school had gained too firm a foothold to be crushed out of existence by this calam ity, great though it was. The petition sent to the legislature, by the trustees. requesting tne use ot tne palace tor their school, was granted. And the good Irving took his pupils and estab lished nimseii there. The school still the New Berne Academy) was continued in the palace till 1806, when the present building was erected. And from where do you suppose the brick with which was bunt the house, inside whose walls have been educated so many of New Berne's good men and women were brought up? We think we have to send quite a distance for the pressed brick wnicn are to adorn the front of our more elegant building. ; But what will you say when I tell you that the brick which make these stronar and substan tial walls, were emigrants, and once made a trip all the way from old Eng land? In more respects than one. those old times were different from these present days. They were times of hard, earnest work: no time was lost, no idling per mitted. Children not infrequently be gan school at the tender age of four years, and were ready for the souuo more 'clans at the State University at IN one of your from 9 a. m. to What a change! Suppose we could Bee the little old schoolhouse of 1764 placed out here on the green beside our more elegant new building that is to be, and that Mr. Irving were in the one with the pupils he taught- in 179j, and JProf. Thomas with his five hundred and odd boys and girls were in the other. What a Bensation would be created in the lit tle house by the ringing of the 9 o'clock bell; with what contempt the Rev. Mr. Irving would look upon such late hours; and how our good Professor would scorn the quaint and antiquated methods of his neighbor; and how the young Misses in the great brick building would look look down upon the little house and its inmates, and utter such ejaculations as awful," "dreadful," etc. But comparisons are odious, it we look at it properly, we shall see that while in some things we are better, in others we are not superior to our fore fathers. It is sufficient upon the whole if we have made a substantial progress. We will not say that in all respects the present methods and systems are better than those of the past. While we be lieve that tho standard of the finished scholar is no higher now than in past days, the general standard of education is higher. For then the people were poor, teachers scarce, books dear, and schools a blessing enjoyed only by those upon whom fortune smiled. Now the masses are educated. Books have been simplified and are cheap, teachers are plentiful, and schools in the reach of every one. Again, ours is a hardier, sturdier, more practical education. It deals in no shadows and vagaries of speculative thought, but in substances and stern realities. We value learning DOMKSTIC MAKKET. Turpentine Hard, 1.00; dip, 51.75. TAB 7UC. to $1.0J.
