Bro. GoRMAN AT the last meeting Of our

to give you short history of the progress of
Skeenah Division, at least monthly. with the
hope that you would give our productions
publication.
| am happy to say that Skeenah Division,
No. 3l6, amidst all the persecution, and op-
position that it has had to contend with ever
since it has been Division, continues to pros
per. We have continued to fight against oppo-
sition, and against the cruel bondage of lntem
perance, until opposition has almost ceased
and our old Fathers and Mother are coming g
in to our widely extended borders and we
do hope that it will continue, until every in
ebriate within the limits of its influence, now
held in the bondage of vice and immortality
may be redeemed, and once more stand erect
in all the dignity of virtuous freedom.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t will no doubt afford
you much pleasure to hear, that the Eighty
First Anniversary of American Indepen-
dence, was celebrated in spirited and be-
coming manner, and without one drop Of
intoxicating drink, at this growing place
which has not grog shop, either within,
or 5 miles distant from it's boundaries
Early in the morning throngs Of brave
men and lovely women, from various por-
tions of Pitt, and surrounding counties,
were seen eagerly vending their way to
this delightful and thrifty little town, on the
Raleigh and Greenville Plankrsad, between
the latter town and Wilson. The day was
ushered in by the booming of cannon. A
beautiful flag, wrought by the fair hands
of the ladies of Marlboro and vicinity, ably
assisted by one of Washington's fairest
daughters, was then hoisted on the flag
staff, and the joyous shouts of the assembled
multitude, plainly indicated that the peo-
pie, far and near, were ready to unite with
the enterprising inhabitants of Marlboro in
this festival of patriotism.
The following order of exercises in obe-
dience to the plan Of the committee of ar
rangements, were observed, under the di-
rection of the Marshal for the day and his
Assistants.

He administered an overwhelming rebuke
to the abortive attempts of scavengers,
such as "Porte Crayon" and others, to
slander her fair fame.
The Company was then invited to par
take of a bountiful and excellent dinner,

OF arrangements deserve much credit, for
the efGcisnt manner in which, they super

/ Nothing occurred to mar the harmony
and good feelings SO appropriate on this
glorious day, but everything passed off in
accordance with the feelings of courtesy
and kindness, which evidently characterize
the people of this section.
At Inappropriate times during the day, the
exercises were enlivened by salutes from
the well trained company Of Cadets who
are connected with the school at Marlboro,
and whose performances on this occasion
attracted much attention, and reflected
credit upon heirteacher, Prof. R. Fl. Drys-
dale.
It was gratifying to me, a visitor for a
few days, to witness the evidences of pros
perity which distinguish this pleasant vii
lage and surrounding county. Everything
in, and around the village, gave cheering
indications Of the continued growth and
attractiveness Of this portion of Eastern
Carolina. Already is there in successful
operation High School that is doing much
good for the fourishing cause of education.

From the Wilmington Herald.

DIR, S. s. SATCHwELL, of this county,
delivered the Address at the recent Com
menceme It of Chowan Female Collegiate
Institute, Murfreesborough, ~ CO. We
clip the following notice of this production
from the correspondence of the Petersburg
Express
At an early hour, the Chapel was filed to
its utmost capacity. The desire to hear DR..
SatchwelPs S address was intense. The Doc
tors predecessors in this Office, had been
members of the clerical profession, or men,
bers of the church. DIR. s. was neither,
hence the public mind was on the "qui
vive," as to the subject of the expected ad-
dress. The reputation that he had aequi-
red as medical lecturer, his sternly orig
inal cast of mind, his tone of truth, pure
and unadulterated, his entire freedom from
bias to any system, however plausible, that
may not bear the test of rigid scrutiny, all
tended to render the anticipated address
one of great interest.
Nor were they disappointed the subject
of the speech exceedingly Apostle, fortu-
nate in the tine and application-'The
Physical Education of Woman"
In the outset the speaker said that he
had come in obedience to kind invita-
ton given, to speak few plain truths, not
to hazard any reputation as an orator he
professed to have none. If he could do
good; originate a course that might
tend to beneficial results, the highest OBJ
iect of his ambition would be accomplish
ed In rapid manner he glanced at the
physical superiority of the women of Lace
daemon, and other Grecian States; of Sy-
ria in primitive times, and even of the wo-
men of England, in our own day, over the
women of America. He gave a painful
| but over true view of the condition of pos
terity, if the women of America continued
in their course of physical degeneracy.-
That the perfection of the students condi-
tion was the "sana mems an sana cOrpOre. /"
Such condition was indispensable to the
full and proper developement of the wo-
man, and especially of the female aspiring
to literary distinction. Bat l will not
take the edge off your dire to read
the address by giving you an lmper-
feet analysis The Trustees have reques-
ted copy of the address for publication,
and if published you shall surely be served
: with copy.
7 The speaker held the immense auditory
7 spellbound for nearly two hours, and yet
t could not have supposed tat forty-hTe
t minutes were occupied in the delivery.
