On Tuesday morning the examinations

[ pcnision Of Mrs Walker. the Perceptrcss,

may not be improper to mention that the

bed the motto Of the Philomathean Society
III Greek-"I .abor Oyercomcs all Things"
Directly over the platform the motto of the
Young Mems Lyceum ".S,os euliores, Seen
ia, ooroHai.' The walls were covered
with specimens Of OIL Paintings and Draw
ing-prepared by the studon,s--many Of
them were works Of merit, aud reflected
great credit upon the young artizans--ii
We may call them such. These gave a
pleasing effect, and were admired by all
who examined them, adding much to the
interest of the occasion.
The afternoon was occupied with tho
Natural Sciences, under the charge oi
Prof. SnITn. The examinations in this
department excited general interest and
the audience were both pleased and profit
