Messy Creek Academy.
The closing exercises OF Messy Greek Academy
took place on Friday last The morning was
very uDfavorable. The heavens We're o'ercast
with sheet OF black, dense clouds, and the rain
patted down almost necessarily. Towards noon,
however, the signs became more propitious-the
rain ceased to tall-the clouds scattered and
broke away--the bright rays Of Sol were again
bespreadiDg the wales and hiltops-the gentle
lily gracefully bowed to the glistening rain-drop
that had just kissed it-and the spears of grass
sprang up, enllvened and invigorated by the ge-
NAL shower. Thus did the gods seem to regard
the day.
At IL o'clock large auditory had collected
in the spacious Hall of the Institution, when the
Rev. Mr.. Ray, of the NJ. 2. Church South, asked,
in very appropriate, eloquent and impressive
manner, the smiles of Divine Providence on the
exercises of the day. The Examination Reports
were then read by Mr.. White, President of the
Academy. They (the Reports) told that the
students had not squandered their time, but that
they had made diligent use thereof, and conse-
quently had made fine progress in their studies.
By this time the Mt. Crawford Band, which
had been delayed by the rain, had arrived. They
played very soul-stirring air, after which the
exercises were continued by the introduction OF
}. l.. Mohler, of Augusta, who delivered the
SdiutdCOFy OF welcome. Ills ADDRESS was b very
appropriate and beautiful composition, and was
handsomely delivered.
Next upon the stage were Masters J. W. Da-
vies and G. W. Yungling, of Rockingham, each
of whom delivered very manly and composedly,
| an interesting extract.
1.-THE Spirit of Liberty" was next boldly and
spiritedly spoken by Vim. s. Gibbons, OF Page
| j. Ed. Pennybacker, of Rockingham, was next
Ia the line, with very neat and entertaining
speech on '.Eloquence"
j. G. Neff, of Shenandoah, succeeded and spoke
sensiby and truthfully of the '.Etfects of Perse-
verance." gaj i8a
D. W. Huffman, of Rockingham, then on be-
half OF the Literary Society, presented to A. B.
Roller, of Augusta, medal which had been a.
warded to him (Roler) by the Society as its best
debater. The speeches, both of presentation and
acceptance, were very comnendable.
| The valedictory, which was very feeling and
neatly arranged address, was then beautifully
delivered by John S. Brown, of Rockingham

| After short intermsson for refresbment, the
audience returned to the Hall and listened at

livered by Hugh W. Sheffey, Esq, OF Stanton
MI Shelley speech was instructive, entertaining
learned and witty; and was received with
rounds of applause by the entire assemblage.
Thus closed the Anniversary day &C Messy

Depend upon it, mothers it will give rest to vour,
selves, and Reliefand Health to your infants
We have put up and sold this article for over ten
years. and Can say in confidence and truth of it, what
we have never been able to say of any other medicine
never has it failed in single instance to effect
CURE when timely used. Never did we know an in
stance OF dissatisfaction by any who has used it.
On the contrary, all delighted with its operations
and speak in terms of highest commendation of its
magical effects and medical virtues We speak in
this matter what WE KNOW" after ten years ex.
perience and pledge reputation for the fulflment
OF what We here declare. In almost every instance
where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus-
tlon relief will be found in fifteen twenty minutes
after the syrup is administered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription of
one OF the most Experienced and Skilful Nurses in
New England, and has been used with never-faing
success IN thousands of cases. -+,.-...
1t not only relieves the child from pain, but invig-
crates the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity and
gives tone and energy to the whole system. It will
almost instantly relieve Gripping in the Bowels and
Wind Collie, and overmore COMMISSIONS which if not
best and surest remedy in the world in all cases of
DYSENTERY and DIARRHGA in Children, arising
from teething, or from any other cause. We would
say to every mother who has child suffering from
own prejudices, the preudices of others, stand
between your suffering child and the relief that will
be sure-yes, absolutely sure-to follow the use of
this medi cine if timely used.
