approved by board of trustees, Composed Of
seventeen gentlemen, selected with an eye to
their fitness and capacy,) fully adapted TO the

ges?
Howard High School has been in successful
operation for several years, with constantly in.
creasing patronage, and last Friday closed one
of its most brilliant sessions. The exercises in
the various branches Of learning, from the ele>
mentary to the higher departments, were such as
10 command the unqualified commentator Of the
large and intelligent audience, who attended the
three last days closing the session. The classes
in Music and Drawing, exhibited much progress;
whilst those in Geography, History and Arhme>
tic produced establishment at the extent Of their
altainments, when contrasted with their tender
years. The more advanced classes in Mahe>
mates, the Languages and Natural Sciences, had
made such proficiency as to highly commend the
industry, order and discipline Of the School.
1t might be we'll for those at distance to
know that Howard High School, occupying the
large and commodous brick buildings erected
for Howard College, and for the next session,
the Trustees having engaged the same six teach
ers, who have so successfully conducted the last,
has capacity for the accommodation OF an in
creased number Of either sex; the male and fe.
male departments being under different teachers,
and in seperate apartments, and entirely dis
tinct, except as 10 the general rules and regula.
tons for the government of the school; the de.
partments meeting but once month, and that
in the College Chapel, with their respective
Teachers, Parents and Visiters, for rehearsal and
exercises.
We bespeak for this school, full classes for the
next session, believing it to be one in which a
sound, practical, moral and useful education
suitable to The wants Of the county, may be &C.

Our engagements prevented us from at
tending the examination, but we are graf
flied to learn, from numbers who were
4 present, that the scholars acquitted them
selves well, and perhaps deserve more credit
than is given them by our correspondent.
On Thursday evening of the examina
ton, the young ladies of the school gave ;
Concert of vocal and instrumental music
which, while it afforded a pleasant even
ing's entertainment, spoke well for thei
proficiency, and the capacity of their &C
complished teacher, Miss Rockwell. W.
