annual Exhlbation and Concert by the Pupils
of the Institution for the Blind.

OF the Institution for the Blind.
We attended this exhibition last Wednesday
glad to see that crowded and fashionable audience
were gathered within the walls of the Tabernacle to
greet the interesting young band of unfortunates
who We're there assembed-,hough we question if
the term unfortunate in this case is not misappl,ed
for certainly, after the exercises and recitatons
which we witnessed, we remain in doubt as To-
whether the loss of sight is really such deprivation
as has hitherto been supposed We have all read
poetcal descriptions of those afflicted with this
malady.. Who, that has perused " B,sl,ce,.s Last
nays Of Pompei," but remembers that charming
creation ,t OF his fancy, the. blind girl Nwra =
and the wonderful tact which guided her in the
absence OF the light of day But the perfection to
Whicn the instruction OF the blind is carried now-a-
gay, Is really more surprising than any fiction, and
we cannot but admit the beautiful arrangement of
sense, endows it with such increased sens1lty in the
rest ~ rejects the greatest credit the perseverance
anu SenuIty oil the preccptors OF the institution who
nave thus been the means of rcmedying, far as
iay IN the power Of man, the mstortunes of their
pupils. And we noticed with delight the adcctonate
intercourse which existed between them. But We
must must to our subject and describe the exercises

Scriptures from raised copies, and the foremost no

which was performed with exquisite taste and received
the uuboundcd paudits Of the vast assembage. Next
came examinations in geography, astronomy chemistry
history, geometry and arithmetic and indeed We were
not little surprised to hear the SO correctly
given to every question by those afflicted but truly han
Ply creatures. One of the pupils Miss Anne smith dis
played great vocal powers in the sacred cong tve's

caused very lively interest amongst The vast assem-

of them was ever reversed CT Overruled by

of committing errors by which one Of the
parties might be injured; but my great and
only object was to decide correctly.

Ar the solicitation Of many. Of
our friends, and q desire on odr
part to make our papera useful me-
dinm ofcommunication TO the pub
lie generally, we have determined
tOsENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF TIE "YAZOO
CITY WHIG," SO as to make it
more worthy of a general circula-
ton among the people Of the inter-
ior.-Yaz6o Cityis the trading and
shipping point Of large, rich, and
populous section ofcountry, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latestevents that trans
pire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place devoted to the advance
ment Of its interests.
We have labored faithfully,
through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
in publishing a paper in Yazoo
City; and. during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests are
identified with those Of Yazoo City
here we have reared family
land, here we expect to end the bali
ance of our days.
To effect the improvements
contemplated in the WHIG, we shall
/ necessarily be compelled TO incur
). considerable extra expense and,
to enable US to do this, we have
issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
We have determined to make
the WuIG worthy of a liberal and
generous support and, we now
call upon our friends to use theirin-
fuence and aid to accomplish this
object. Two or three hundred adj
4 diIionalsubscribers, and d more Exs
Of TENDED patronage from our adver-
Of Using friends will be all-suficient.
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
rons that they shall not be .disap-
pointed in their expectationS,-the
.EWHIG shall not be inferior to any
h of its contemporaries, IN the QUAIL
