nounced that VIM D. Cooke, ESQ.,, Principal OF the
North Carolina Institution for the deaf and dumb
and the blind who was present with two OF his AS
sistants, Messrs Palmer and Lewis and portion OF
his pupils, would give an exhibition of the proficien-

house was densely crowded. The exhibition was
in every respect highly interesting, and called forth
from the audience the warmest applause.
The Association then took recess until half past
eight o'clock, when large audience attended to
hear lecture by Prof Doherty, and to witness some
experiments by him in chemistry. The Professor
acquitted himself in handsome manner, sustaining
his wellearned reputation as scholar and teacher.

scene was most exhiliratng. The company amused
themselves for an hour or two at the Fort, exam
ming that work, walking the seashore near
: the breakers, and in conversational and about one

was considerably larger than the citizens Of Beaufort
had reason to suppose it would be, yet there was an
abundance for all, and to spare.
