In the quiet vale below;
And high above, in the evening

And we heard but the murmuring Lindens
In the lonely eventidel
Again these bells are ringing!
But mine eyes with tears are red;
For the bells are sadly telling
That she, my Love, is dead!

week or two since, medium, by request,
overturned large dining table. The leaves
did not fall, but adhered to the legs, making
kind of box, in which three ladies seated
themselves, and then the medium laying her
hand on the table, was followed by it around
the room pretty rapidly several times, rath-
err seriously damaging the table by scratch
ing it on nails on the unexpected floor. BY
request of one of the ladies, the table started
out doors, but was stopped by the "carpet
strip" No person touched the table, eX-
cept as above mentioned, The ''medium" is
a delicate little girl about twelve or thirteen
years of age. The full strength of four
men would have been required to accom-
plish the feat described. The respectable,

Since they have opened the REcTIFYrNG EsTAB-

been compelled TO put up another set of Rcctfyers

The generality of whisky from distilleries con-

Howard High School Examination.

The Eighth Annual Examination of the
pupils Of Howard High School commenced
on Friday last, and ended Tuesday evening.
We were only present a part of Tuesday
evening. In the forenoon of that day Prof.
R. s. THOMAS, of the University delivered
the Annual Address, only portion of
which we heard. Those who were more
fortunate, pronounced it an able effort, and
we have heard number express q desire
that it should be published. In the after
noon, the examination of the advanced
classes was resumed, and they acquitted
themselves admirably. The report of the
Examining committee, for the entire exami-
nation, will probably appear next week.
The evening was devoted to Orations, select
ed and original by the young gentlemen--and
Music, vocal and Instrumental, and Essays
by the young Ladies'. The Music gave sat-
