EDIToR TIMES: Allow me, through your
columns, to notice the examination asd ex.
hibitien Of the students Of Keytesvills Sem
mary. II esmmensed the 9Th and ended
29th Of June.
The examination was fully attended, and q
lively interest pervsdsd the entire audience.
1t was most satisfactory-eliciting remarks
Of appreciation from the entire house.
Scholars showed q pronptness in their
studies rarely surpassed, coupled with hab-
its Of thought and investigation. Each
study was eluoidated with frssnsss, pos
ssssed only BY those, who have mastered
the entire subject. Problems in Algebra,
Geometry and Arithmetic, were solved
with prsmptness, rarely met with in In
stitutiOns of this kind. The solutions were
admirably performed, the reason for every
step pointed out, and the analysis given,
showing the students were entire masters
Of the subject before thsm.l Students thus
trained, cannot fail 10 make practical and
useful men and women.
The classes in History, Geography,
Philosophy and Logic, were equally ex-
pert in their in their investigation of the
respective subjects before them. The M
turs Of these branches Of study was fully
understood. 1t was pleasing TO see how
the youthful mind took hold of the great
principles Of Philosophy, asd csnprehendsd
them. The analysis Of Logic, by the ysung
ladies, was entirely satisfactory, and did
them much credit. We have alway. re.
gardsd it as ons Of the most difficult
branches of study to acquire, but their ia
nilisrity with the the subject, proves that
they have mastered the science ;;
The principles Of La.in and English
Grammar, wers also investigated with
clearness and precision, which showed the
students understood tie philosophy of tkOss
languages. We are no amateur, but il we
were to give an opinion from the exanina-
tion Of the music GLASS, and the specimens
performed during examination and exAi-
bition, we would say the young ladies have
made fine progress in that sweetest of all
studies, the harnoniss Of sweet sound.-I
The exhibition was Interspsrsed with
vocal and instrumental music, thus pass
ing Of time very pleasantly and agree
ably. Some Of the young ladies compost
tiOns were very fins, displaying taste in
choice and arrangement as well as slsganee
in reading. The composition, and oratsry
of the boys were unsurpassed by any Of
their age and experience. One would al.
most think We had young Cicero and De-
nosthenes among US, SO brilliant were their
displays. Much wit and hunor ran through |
all the performances. 1t was an intsllec.
lual treat, the pleasure Of which is rarely
enjoyed. There was no deception in the
whole matter frem beginning to end. We
nave seen many examinations and exhibi-
lions, and we venture to say, taking The
Students ages and opportunities into sOnsid-
Grafton, it has not been surpassed this year.
Mr.. Mann and his assistants, deserve
much credit for the manner the school has
and we would heartily recsm-
mend the Institution to parents and guar
iians. Keytesville is a very pleasant,
moral place, and free from all contamination
If association, SO usual in larger towns
The society is good, and every facility de-
Iirable will be afforded. The citizens will
axe pleasure in rendering children and
Students stay pleasant, agreeable an Profta-
