Mr.. EDITOR Permit me very briefly
through the columns of the GAGE" to call al
tentiOn to the " Oxford Female Seminary
This Institution is, and has BEEN. for several
years past, under the auspices of Samuel l..
Venable, Esq, who combines in an eminent de-
gree, the requisite qualifications to DISCHARGE
efficiently, the duties incident to his station
Besides being an amiable and intelligent gen.
tleman, and a ripe scholar of considerable ex-
perience in teaching, Mr.. Venable, moreover.
discovers a peculiar tact in imparting ~instruc-
ton to his pupils. The truth of this assertion
was plainly manifest TO all present at his ex-
animation, which took place on Yesterday
The young ladies acquitted themselves in a
highly credirable manner. Indeed, when the
fact is considered, that Mr.. Venable does not
assign particular lessons to be conned especial
ly for the examination, but on the contrary.
requires his classes to recite promiscuouslv, on
any parts Of the different branches pursued du.
ring the session, it is almost incredible to con.
template the progress made, and the profcien.
cy attained by his pupils in the short space OF
five months. Whether Mr.. VS. plan of con.
Quoting the exercises of an examination. viz
requiring his scholars to be prepared to recite
on the whole course they NAV have been taught
the previous session, is the ono usually adopted
throughout the country, we are not able to say.
or one thing, however, we are fully persuaded
that it is the most equitable mode, as it pre-.
cludes the possibility of a students r~ecitine
with much credit who has not been diligent%
thus aifording a fair criterion to the patrons
for estimating the progress of their Children
The musical department of the "Seminary" il

estimable and accomplished lady. At night thu
young ladies' gave a concert, which was numer
ously attended, and all present seemed to pas

sNry to say anything relative to the healthfuI
ness of Oxford, or Of the intelligence am

KINSrON. Dec. 8. 1881

Kinston Division, No. 165, had another torch
light procession on Thursday night last, the
9th ult., it being Thanksgiving night. We
had an accession of three new members. The
Cadets were out with us in full Regalia. The
meeting was addressed by Bro. W. B. Rhem
and E. w. Adams, in a forcible style to
a crowded house. Master z. T. Daugherty
spoke in behalf of the Cadets, and acquitted
himself we'll. So you see that we are on the
forward march in the great cause of mans re-
demption from the tyranny of King Alcohol.

with a sumptuous dinner prepared for the occa.

in the Court House, the closing Ode was then
sung, followed by a prayer from Bro. Brick

At our last two meetings we had two members
to initiate at each meeting, and we anticipate
many accessions to our glorious Order, although
we find some who complain of the initiation fee
they say times are too hard, they cannot pay it,
but the reason is they do not love the Order, for
they, Notwithstanding the hard times, do pay
