WAKE FOREST cELEBRArInN.


In company with a number of ladies and gem
tlemen Of this City, we attended, on Monday
last, the Anniversary Of Wake Forest Division. At
Wake Forest College. We returned so short a
time before the hour of putting our paper to
press, that we are unable to-day to give a de-
tailed account Of the interesting proceedings,
and must therefore deal in eeneralities.
In the aftvrnoon, at 8 o'clock, the public exer.
eiees commenced in the Chapel of the College.
The services were opened by an appropriate
prayer BY Rev. Bro. Beacham after which
Bro. George L. Gould. was introduced to the
audience as one Of the Speakers for the occasion.
lbs Adde'S was marked by its beauty, force
and argument eliciting the warmcommendation
Of the numerous auditory. The Editor of thi.
paper being called on, submitted some remark.
directed chiefly TO the young men of the Col
Iege,
Atnight Bro. White, President of the Institu.
tlon, delivered an Address, illustrative ofthe eff.
cheney Of our Order, the beauties of Temperance.
and the evil and direful results of intemperance
The speakers remarks were well conceived and
eloqently expressed, and were received with
mannest pleasure and appreciation.
Then followed a handsome Supper, prepared by
the Wake Forest Division for the entertainment
Of their guests; and that their taste and generos-
ity were fully appreciated and attested, no better
evidences could be given than the emple Justice
done to the tempting viands spread out before
the ladies and gentlernen who partook of the
rich abundance. Mirth and hilarity, sparkling
wit anticipates, flowed in profusion, without
any inspiration from the wine-ged indeed. il
was a delightful occasion leaving no vain regret
OF headaches to be endured the coming morrow.
Ethel. joys were fair their ioyance Innocence
Sweet without sour, and honey withoutgan.
We can only add, IN conclusion, that those
who never attend and unite Bith any Of the mn.
nnereus public demonstrations Of our Order
which are weekly occurring throughout m
State, know nothing Of the ssEspathy and cord.

our singleness of purpose is evinced by the Jfdet-

~servance of our fundamental laws. At these
gatherings we mingle with all classes of our fell
low citizens, and recognize in each a brother
engaged in the patriotic and philanthropie work
of Kidding our country Of one of the foulest cur
ses ever inflicted upon it There is an air Of
Kindness and affection SO predominant that the
most diffdent feel as perfectly athome with their
brother Som of Temperance, as they would in
the bosom Of their own family. Let us cherish
and keep alive this fraternal spirit by mingling
with ench other in our jubilees and celebrations

Philadelphia, for robbing a stranger, by . drop.

The proof was clear and unsuestionable, and
the sporting gentleman was held to bail in the
sum of $500 to appears at the next ensuing term
of the criminal court, now passed. The bail
was given, and the gentleman is still at large,
nor did he appear at court.
About the same time, an unfortunate sailor
was found drunk, made so by one of the Il
censed liqnor-hells Of the city. He wasdragged
like a criminal before his Honor, and sent to
the Work House for three months, where he
still remains.
Now, why this difference in this free and en-.
lightened country? Is it more criminal to get
drunk, when the lac licenses Drunkenness, than
to rob an u~nsuspecting traveller of 800?

Emperor Of China. who succeeded his father
at his death, February. 1850, having at his
succession rejected the demands addressed
to him BY the Mandarins for permission to
persecute the Christians within his domin.
ions, published a degree in the month of June,
in the same year, permitting the free exer-
else Of the christian religion throughout his
dominlons. The Emperor at the same time
invited four missionaries to wait upon him,
who were to be lodged in his palace. Mon

that the Emperor was educated by a chris.
tian lady, in whom the late Emperor placed
unbounded confidence.

MORE FRUITS on THE REFoRM.

We learn from the Spirit Of the Age, that in
the articles of agreement between the contrac-
tors and Directors ofthe Central Railroad. the
introduction Of liquor among the hands is
strongly interdicted. It is not to be sold, CIV
en- o%rintrOduced under any circumstances, nor
dare any Contractor employ a drunkard on the
work under certain penalties. How honorable
to the Directors of this work is such an arrange
ment, and how beneficial it will be to the road.
and those employed in its construction. The
same paper states that the Contractors for a
Stage route in the western part of the Sfafe
have determined to employ none buf temper-
anee men for drivers. How much It would
conduce to the safety of the travelling public,

routes and roads were all total abstinence men,
