EiXa animation OF the Female
ACADEAY

We had the pleasure of attending the cx-
animation Of the students in the Female
Academy at this place under the control of
the Rev. D. NJ. Turner, on Monday and
Tuesday last, and were much pleased with
the exercises. The young ladies acquitted
themselves handsomely; and by the accu-
racy and promptncss of their answers,
showed that they were thoroughly drilled
in the several branches upon which they
were examined. We were particularly
pleased with the examination of q large
class in grammar; and although many of
the members Of it were very young, evin-
ccd such knowledge Of it, as to reflect the
highest credit upon pupils and teacher. We
think the patrons of this Academy may
congratulate themselves upon being able TO
procure. the services Of so competent teach
CT as the Reverend gentleman now at its
head, and should by all means endcavor to
secure him in the situation.
The examination of the smaller scholars,
under the charge of Miss Harrison, was also
very gratifying to the parents. They were
examined in reading and spelling, and &C.
quilted themselves very we'll.

The Washington Union employs the
following emphatic language in relation to
the alleged difficulty between Gen. Scott
and MIR. Trst. 1t says:
cit is a fact, that Mr.. Trist had no pow
ers to conclude an armis,ice, and to arrest
military operations, until (according to the
principle Of Mr.. Buchanan's letter to Com
Conner, of July 27, ls46,) a treaty shall
have been ratified by Mexico. 1t is also a
fact, that no authority was given to override
and supersede Gen. Scott, nor to treat the
General with the slightest ndignity Or con-
tempt of his military functions It equal
ly untrue, as we understand, that the gov
ernment has abandoned the position which
it originally took in relation to Gen. Scott
and Mr. Trist.''

~ The Boston Transcrip, of the 18th

took place on Sunday, at Northampton.
Immediately after the afternoon service, a
young man II years of age, clerk in a dry
goods store in Northampton, went into the
Office of DR.. Thompson to visit friend
student of medicine under DR.. T. The
student was lying on couch near the win
dow, and iii sport took up gun which he
thougM he k'sea0 to be unloaded, aimed it at
his friend, pulled the trigger and shot him
