wings OF steam to various sections OF our country,
and people, many of whom were prevented attend
ing by the i~nclemency OF the weather, can then
have a fair opportunity Of seeing this valuable and
estimable production of a scholar and man of let
tiers, a graduate Of one of our European colleges.
AT night q concert by the Lincolnton brass band,
was held in the chapel. There, while the outer
scenes was Illuminated by Haming fireworks, the
students worn down by long mental toll, were en-
abled for a few brief moments to indulge their
penchdnt for ladies society, and by contact with
eentler beiags to rub off some of the r~usticity gener.
ated by ten months seclusion. They could then for
a few short moments gaze in unalloyed adj
miration upon those fair creatures, Invested of the
asperities of our sex,
Around whose eyes there played in playful turns,
The smile that lightens and the glance that burns.'
All went merry as a marriage bell. Next day
came the inauguration of the new professors, the
speeches of graduating class, &C., all of which
were highly interesting, and were signalized by
ability and perspicuity. I especially commend
the speech of f. Fl. johnson of Smyrna, Turkey, a
young gentleman of ability and undoubted talent.
This college is now on the high road to prosper
ity. Owing to the munifcence Of Maxwell Cham
bers, who left it two hundred thousand dollars, it is
not pressed or restricted in a pecuniary point of
view. Ere long beams of light will emanate from
her portals and chase the darkness from distant
places. IF a devout wish can accelerate her pro-
gress to prosperity, it is most cordially given. ]
must not omit here to make a passing eulogium on
the arrangements of the occasion, as conducted by
the marsballs. Yours, STUDIOSUS.
