exercises attendant upon the exami-
nation and exhibition of Mr.. F. W.

Tuesday last, but friend who was
present furnishes us with some par
ticulars. The pupils, about forty-five
III number, were examined on Tues
day morning, in the presence of
large number of spectators. The
boys all acquitted themselves ad-
mirably, under a thorough examina-
ton, in all the branches taught in the
school.
In the evening, the exhibition of
elocution and oratory took place, and
was attended by very large auditory,
the parents and friends OF the pupils.

ELECTED general appreciation from
those present. The original address
by Master Frank Beard, on the

y WELCOME. E.-The high-minded
and persistent generosity of the New
York Volunteer Firemen's A>aocia-
ton, whose committee arrive here
this afternoon, with the duplicate Of
the magnificent hose reel prepared as
present for the Independent Fire
Company, of tliis city, entities that
Association to the warmest gratitude,
not only Of our gallant fremen, but
of the whole people of Columbia.
1t may not be necessary to urge
upon our citizens to manifest to these
gentlemen their high appreciation of
the Association they represent, by al
enthusiastic and hearty welcome; but
we earnestly hope that the demon
strations on their arrival and during
their brief stay will be of such q
character as will do credit to Colum-
bia. There should be no halfway
measures of hating manifestations of
respect and gratitude, but one mn
versal and spontaneous manifestation
of the cordial recognition of the
high claims which the New York fire
men are justly entitled to upon such
an occasion. Our gallant tiremen, on
the former occasion, although, IN
fortunately, not the recipients of the
intended magnificent gift, performed
the rites of hospitality most nobly,
and have made ample preparations
for the present occasion. Let our
people en- WasSe come to their sup
port, and enable Columbia, crippled
and impoverished though she be, to
give those generous and steadfast
friends of her fire department re-
ception befitting the occasion and
worthy of her ancient reputation for
hospitality and the courtesies and
amenities of social intercourse.

hEMED4 FOX DULL LINES. .-lno
best remedy for dull times is to ad-
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shclved until
they become old, stale and unproft-
able, for the sake of the small ex-
pense it would cost them to adver-
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will lind the in
vestment to be paying one.
TEUE.-Here is a fact which can
not be too often repeated: When you
see man who advertiscs literally,
you may be certain of finding good
stock of goods in his store, that he
keeps mp with the market, and sells
cheaper than those who 10 not adj
vcrtise. Ii you want good bargains,
always patronize those who avail
themselves of the advantages afforded
through the advertising columns of
their paper.
