New FIRM.-Messrs. j. A. Waggener and John
0'Bren have bought out the establishment of W.
~ Pollock l. Co, and will continue the clothing
and furnishing goods business at the old stand, on
Franklin street. Mr.. Waggener was, until few
months ago, partner of Mr.. Pollocks and after
firing for while, and re-gaI-ing himself in elegant
leisure, returns to his old trade. John 0Bren has
long been connected with this house. and has done
his full share towards building up its trade. The
style of the new firm will be Waggener h 0'Brien.
1t is useless to say word about them to those who
know them; but to such as do not, we say, that
two cleverer or more deserving young men than
Jap and John cannot be found in the State We
ask and predict most excellent trade for them
They will sell their present stock at very low prices
preparatory to their purchases for fall and winter

ACADEMY ExTEssios.-Most of our readers are
aware that additional building has been erected
at the Female Academy, but only few Of them
in the rear Of the original buildings and Is Ito feet
long, or deep. by AZ feet in width The basement
which is the ground floor room, will be devoted to
the purposes of dining hall, and will scat at table,
three hundred persons. The next room above is
the public hail. ITO by AZ feet-ventilated on all
sides by numerous large windows, and to be lighted
With gas, by six eight chandeliers of four lights
each. This hall will be elegantly furnished, and
will, we believe be one Of the best rooms for pub
lie speaking, concerts, and like purposes, in the
State. Its acoustic properties unexceptonable.
The next the second story floor is devoted to sleep
ing apartments, and contains sixteen rooms large
and airy-each containing grate-place and brick
aue, and one or more windows. Throughout the
depth of this story is wide passage separating the
row Of rooms on each side. The third story will
be devoted to the library and society rooms of the
Institution. The new building presents fine front
to the railroad, which runs within one hundred
yards Of it, and commands an elegant view of the
Southern suburbs of the city. The entire Academy
buildings are under the same roof; and when in
clement weather forbids a resort to the beautiful
grounds of the Institution the numerous long halls
and galleries afford continuous walk that is ample
for healthy exercise. As we have before stated in
notices of the Academy, everything about it indi-
Gates determination on the part Of the worthy
President Dr. Hamilton, to make it so Car as de-
wolves on him, frst-class Institution aynd to
none; and in our humble Judgment he has fully
succeeded.

accordance with our suggestion, had the poSt-ofce
heretofore kept at Graysyille, KY moved to Taits
Station, in this county instead Of having it dscon-
tnuod, He has also procured a change in the
schedule time of the Paris mail, so as to have il
leave here for that place Immediately the arrival
OF the Nashville mail, and also to leave Paris d.
rectly after the arrival of the cars ON that end OF
the route Heretofore this mail has laid over hers
ten or twelve hours. Both of these changes will
prove very great convenience to the people inter-
ested and will add much to their obligations to our
faithful Representative.

STEWART COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. We were
favored with very polite invitation from the Sec
rotary of the Board of Trustees of Stewart College
TO attend the examination of the students and the
commencement exercises of that excellent Institu-
tion last week. but have TO regret that Providenal
circumstances prevented us from being present at all
We learn however, from others who were present,
that the exercises throughout very interesting,
and in the highest degree creditable alike to the
faculty and the students of the Institution. The
examination of the several classes very thorough
and critical, yet met and sustained by the stu
dents in a manner that showed entire proficiency in
the different studies that they had been pursuing.
The contests in defamation and composition, and
the regular commencement exercises occurred at the
Presbyterian church on Thursjay--day and eve
ning-and were attended hy large audience, who
expressed the highest qualification at the proceed
ing3. In the contest in defamation, Junius Kmble
of this city, carried of the przea gold medal; and
in composition there was decided To be "drawn
battle between Emmett McCulloch and Mr.. NJ. Doakc
both of this city, and the judges awarded gold
medal to each. The diploma of the Institution was
awarded to William Muniord, of this city, and tie
degree of Bachelor of Arts conferred upon him, he
being the only candidate for those honorS.
We haven't time now to speak should like
to do of the able faculty and other advantages that
Stewart College offers to youths aud young men
seeking education, bu, shall do 80, Mt length in

upon public confidence and patronage although
growing now, daily, in public favor are by no means
sufficiently known and appreciated.
