The PENETRALIA.-The public exercises of the
Normal Literary Union, at the NJ. E. Church
Wednesday evening, on the occasion of the close
of the term of the Normal Sch DOL, was in every
respect, up to the anticiPations of the public.
Messrs. Kellogg and Norton and the students de-
serve and receive the highest emcomi ums from
those who witnessed the exercises. There were
over three hundred persons in the audience and
all enjoyed the rich treat in the highest degree.
The following is the programme, near
can recolect it,
1. Song-"Awake the Sweet Anthem" by the
school. Well sung.
2. Recitation-Miss N ellie Storrs.
g. Declamation-"L incoln's Address at Get
tysburg," by Mr.. Il. Jones.
T. Song, by Miss Bette Maddox. Sung very
sweetly.
5. Extracts from Macbeth. The reading was
well done. Mr.. kellogg, as Macbeth, Miss NJ
j. Watson, as Lady Macbeth, Coke Watson, as
Banquo, and in fact all the characters were well
sustained by the readers.
6. Quartet.
7. Glee-"On the Mountain Hight
8. Reading of the Paper edited by Miss Josie
Slocum and Miss Clara Falley. The articles
were sprightly, keen, and witty, hitting right
and left. johnson and Beecher came in for
share of the ridicule of the editors.
9. Song-"Ship of State" by the school. This
piece is one of the best in the Festival" and
was exceedingly well sung. Every word could
be understood by the large audience.
10. Poem-"Into the Wilderness" by Prof
Norton. This poem was listened to with great
attention, and at its close was warmly applAuded
by the people. It stamps the author as poet of
~, h. IL
sire to see it published, and we know nothing
would be greater grati6ca ton to the commu-
nifty, if Mr.. Norton should consent that it should
appear in our columns.
IL. SOng-"The Liberty Bird" by the school.
This piece was also sung in 9 nner which
elected the applause of the audience.
u. Reading extracts from Henry " Mr. Kel-
logg taking the part of FalstaH This character
Mr.. K. read in a manner which frequently brought
down the house with applause.
10. Quartet-"We are all Nodin'.''
The whole pr Igramme was performed in q
manner highly creditable to teachers and pupils,
considering the short time they had in which to
prepare. Six months ago, many of the students
did not know one note from another, but under
the lead of Mr.. Norton, they have made rapid
progress, and are hard to excel in singing. Theil
tune ana correct pronunciation are particular
ly noticeable features.
The result of this entertainment was an addi-
tiOn of one hundred and fifty dollars to tn,
treasury of the Society which they expect to ex
pend in purchasing books for their library.
Our wish is that we may in future be favored
wi tn other entertainments Of this character from
the same source. They result in much good
both to the getters-up and the community

Only few rebel officers of high rank have
been pardoned, and hardly any Southerners
educated at West Point, who deserted the
United States service to enter the Confed-
crate army. It is not generally understood
that women in the South owning property
require pardon and that a large number of
this class have applied for and received Ex-
eeutive clemency. 1t may not be improper
to state that the property of loyal Southern
residents has been restored in but few in
stances.

CHoLERA.-We print what seems to US very
sensible article on the outside of this paper on the
treatment of cholera. It seems to be settled by
the authorities in principal cities that are
to be visited with this terrible malady the COM
ng summer, and they have taken steps to stay
its usual ravages. While we do not think it will
if it comes at ell, reach SO far into the country,
it is best to be prepared. Our readers should
clip out the article and save it for reference.

mn, herewith, the substance of the verbal
statement made you, q few days since, In
answer 70 your questsen, why no demand
had been made upon she military authorities
for the surrender OF Jefferson Davis, in order
that ne might De tried upon the indictment
found against HIM in the United States Circuit
Court, q the term held at Norfolk In May
last"
Two reasons have Influenced me in not
taking any steps Tor removing him from their
custody. The one relates to the safe keeping,
the other 10 his own personal comfort and
health. l have never had any doubt but that
he would be delivered TO the United States
Marshal Of the District, whenever he should
have demanded him on "capias" or any
other civil process.
But you can readily understand that &C soon
as he goes in TO the hands Of thai oficer, upon
ment would be one OF the State jAils of Viz
ginia-
At Fortress Monroe all necessary precau-
ticDs can he and are1taken b prevent his eG-
cape. Over the internal police OF State Jail
the Marshal has NO authority, and the safe
custody Of the prisoner could net be secured
save at very great expense.
Mr.. Davis Is now in as com Portable quarters
as the most OF those occupied by the armv ON
GERS st the Fort. The location lie q healthy one.
His family have free access to him. He has
full opportunity for exercise in the open air.
the State Jaile, and his condition, instead of be-
ing bettered, would, in all these respects be
much for the worse.
His counsel probably understood all this,
and, think, will not be likely to take any
steps which would decrease the personal CON-
forts, or endanger the life Of their client
