REPORT.

The Committee appointed to witness the
annual Examination and Commencement
exercises of Holston Conference Female
College, respectfully submit the following ::
The classes in the Primary department
were examined at the College buildings,
on Friday, the 3Oth ult., and the progress
Of those young pupils gave ample evidence
that their interests were not overlooked in
attentions to the higher classes.
The Examination of the College classes
was opened at the Town Hall, on Monday,
the 3rd instant, at nine o'clock, A. NJ, and
continued, with intervals barely sufficient
for the necessary refreshments, until We'd
nesday following, at o'clock, 2. NJ, when
the degree of "Mistress of Polite Literature"
was conferred upon twenty-six young la
dies.
The Committee determine not to indul lge
in the laudations too common on similar
occasions, and present such facts only as
are due to the public and justified by the
performance.
With an eye to such report, we obser-
we'd with more than ordinary patience, and
we confess with more interest, the entire
exercises, embracing every class, every pu-
pill in each class, and all the answers given
! by each pupil. The questions examples
and problems were given to the young Ia
dies in manner that precluded the posi-
bility of any special arrangement for the
occasion, and the performance was salts
factory evidence of thorough knowledge
of the subject. The classes were very large
embracing History, Natural Philosophy
Rhetoric, Natural History, Chemistry, Bot
any, Physiology, Mental Philosophy, Evi
dences of Christianity, Arithmetic, Algebra
: Geometry and Trigonometry and some o

Temperance and the Methodists

From the proceedings of the General
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, we clip the following. 1t
IS a step In the right direction:
L. Maddin presented report from the
Committee on Temperance. 1t concludes
with the following resolutions:
Res0I0ed, lst, Thatno further legislation
IS Is needed on the subject of the liquor traf-
tc, believing that the trade is demoralizino
and that offenders should be dealt with as as
IN .Aft5setyea;;c2 c2u. mat we 's;trG, as a CnErcn
as much as ever in favor of the temperance
reform, and recommend to our members
strict adherence to the temperance pledge
involved in our General Rules.
W. A. Smith opposed the resolutions,
alleging that it was unconstitutional to in
terpret by resolution an article Of the con-
stitution.
O. R. Blue and J. G. Bruce argued the
opposite opinion.
T. Maddin said he did not think Of the
constitution when he framed the resolution.
DR.. Smith saw nothing but constitution
He believed we should have to locate the
Supreme Court in that gentleman. He
hoped that so important matter was not
to be arrested on an abstract question OF
constitutional law. 1t was a plain matter
of morality, on which we were competent
to act.
E. Wadsworth sustained this view. We
sometimes die the same thing in an Annu
al Conference.
Bishop Pierce said we once had a sec
ton in the Discipline allowing our mem
bers to sell liquor, provided they did mo-
keep disorderly house. At the last Gen
eral Conference it was expunged, and by
that act we expressed our opinion Of th'
sense of the General Rule.
After some further discussion, and sev
eral attempts to amend, the resolution
were adopted.

Says European writer :-"Let him
who sells ardent spirits bring the practices
of his daily calling to the standard of the
Bible; and when he knows its deleterious
nature, and sees its demoralizing tendency !;
that his hands are polluted by transmitting
the cup to the drunkard when husbands,
and wives, and mothers and children, are
pining in indigence and hopeless sorrow,
caused by that very article that it is his
business to retail let him inquire wheth-
er he can be participant in, or in cause
Of such scenes, and yet be far from guilt
Let him inquire whether he can conscien-
ciously go upon his knees, and pray for the
blessing of God to rest upon and prosper
the work of his hands. Let him inquire
whether he seriously believes, that God
will cause casks of whiskey, rum or bran
dy, to be blessing to his fellow men Oh
whether he can lie down on his pillow al
night, with a calm and tranquil mind
when he thinks of the miserable and the
wretched beings, whom he has been help
ing to destroy and some of whom haze

spirits provided for them within his door,

A Pr1ABLE S1eHr.-A drunken woman
with an infant child in her arms and anoth-
er child by her side just>old enough to
walk, was seen on Beach street, few eve
nings since. Our informant states that it
was one of the most pitiable sights that he
ever beheld. AS the mother reeled and
tottered in her drunkenness, the little one
at her side would gaze into her face with
that wondering manner peculiar to child
hood, as inquiring what could all its pa
rent. Our friend followed at short dis
tance behind, in order to give aid to the
children if anything should occur which
might tender assistance necessary. Some
of her friends made their appearance be-
fore he had proceeded far, and the children
and their wretched parent were properly
cared for-Cape Ann Advertiser.

of appreciation of Vermont in il, which makes
it pleasant bit of reading for any season.
