ury, which pays the several %incumbents,
connected Herewith, a fixed monthly
salary.
We must therefore say, that of oil the
Court fees, there is none, we think, more
unreasonable, than that fee to the Sheriff
for levy. We speak chiefly, for this
reason that when o taxpayer, who,
from inability, falls in arrears, and q levy
is made, there is no allowance made. ac-
cording to the amount Of taxes. IF the
tax be only One Dollar, the unfortunate
individual has to pay the same four dol
lars and thirty six cents, as the other,
who owes by taxation, from fifty to sixty
dollars. Whereas, there is an uniform
rate, according to amount, in the record
ing of documents. This inequality re-
quires the consideration of the Colonial
Council, and is truly worthy Of their at
t%ention. Therefore the sooner something
is done, the quicker the evil will be re-
medied. At another time we will be
more prepared to render something more
suitable on this occasion.

FRIDAY, 15ru NOVEMBER 1867.

IT is now about twelve years since q
Commission met, to re wise the different
rates of Court~expenses, now levied In
the towns of Christiansted and Frcderlk-
sted, and the Islands Of st. Thomas and
ST. Johns but to this present moment
nothing has been concluded for the
same rates are now charged as in by
gone days Of glory. The rates of Chris
tiansted and Frederiksted differ somewhat,
although in the same Island and, not
being uniform, goe more 10 prove that
they were levied by the different officials,
who, at that time, as VIZ learn, received
no fixed salary from the State-Treasury
but were entitled to all the fees of their
ofices-rather than a revenue TO the
State !; purely from this fact, that they
were not rated alike. The rates of st.
Thomas are not, in every single item, we
believe, the same as those, either OF this
town, or of Ffederiksted-a further proof
then, that the Court Expenses, devolving
to the different places, were received by
the several incumbents as the emolu-
ments of their Offices, to be retained by
them, in lieu of a fixed monthly or yearly
salary. This then being the case, as we
readily believe, there should, at present,
exist no difficulty, in having all rated
alike ; since the emoluments OF the
aforementioned Offices, which fall to
them, are venue to the Colonial-Trea

CHRISTIASsBURG, July /, 1867.
heard some one remark the other day
that the Dispatch was the only live paper
in Richmond. However that may be, GER
lainlv the signs Of vitality arc pretty strong
and striking in your cnterprising journal.
| have read with great interest your recent
accounts Of the different commcnccments,
and as we have had quite lively time
during the past week, must give you
these little items shat 60 to make up the
history of passing events.
On Monday night the brethren of the
"mystic tie" had magnificent celcbra-
ton IL tie large hall over the courthouse.
This was decorated with wreaths and Ma
sonic embems fashioned out OF "arbor
viian by the fair fingers Of our wives and
daughters. The tables extended around
three sides Of the room, and were crowded
with everything that the season can afford.
After partaking of these refreshments the
craft were called to order, and the speech
OF the evening was delivered by Rev. Bro
Their Il. ". Hooper, his theme being one
of ne notices, "0ur duty to God, orr
neighbor, and ourselves" He was follow
cd by others in short er tenporc addresses,
and very pleasant episode OF the evening
was the presentation of two magnificent
cakes, which had not been cut, by two
ladies' to their respective pastors, Rev.
Mrssrs FoIlansbee and Hooper.
On Wednesday night We had most
delightful exhibition on the part of the
Young men of the Male Academy. Their
declarations We're very fine indeed.
| On Thursday were the closing exercises
of the Female Institute, in every way Il
most decided success. The Principal first
gave the certificates of proficiency and
distinction to those who had acquired
them. Then came an address by Mr..
Joseph NJ. Gardner. This was exceed
| iugly cliaSte and elegant, Astounding in
richness Of thought, cloqucnce OF EXPIRES
sion, and grace OF delivery.
After this address we were RECALLED
with excellent music from the young la
dies until about | o'clock \. NJ.
On Friday we made an early start on
picnic excursion for the Yellow sulphur
| Various aud curious were the vehicles that
were mustered for the occasion, and al
went dashng at break-ncck rate over the
mountain roads. But without an accident
TO mar the pleasure, we all arrived, and
had most delightful time. The young
people strolled about in the cool shade OF
the grand old oaks, while we older one:
smoked our pipes in peace on the luXu
RANT grass and admired the JOY and happi
ness OF the merry throng.
But as the evening shades began tc
gather we had TO rcmOunt our variou:
modes of locomotion and return 10 the
quiet town.
| Thus have we had Il most delightful
week, and now that the boys and girls
have all left for home, it is quite lonely
aud we sigh for the vacation to end and
for the return Of these bright, youthful
faces. Yours, truly, II.

proceeded to tell us what Accomplishments
are. To read we'll was one; to converse
well, to dress we'll, to cook well: FROM
these palmer accomplishments he pro,

The address aboundcd with good and whole
some advice. doing credit TO both the head
and heart of the accomplished speaker.
One could not help being struck with
tho carnestncss and deeply impressive
manner in which Professor Reihhart gave
The diplomas and distinctions to hiS
| classes.
The exercises closed on Thursday with
grand concert. Roots cantata " nc
Coronation Of the Rose was most adihi-
rably rendered by the pupils in music, un-
der the charge OF Professor W. l.. Johh-
son. Professor NJ. S. Johnson, Of Green
vile, S. c., took the part OF the rcc'uSe,
and rendered it with grace and dignity.
He sings admirably. The girlS, represent,
ing various flowers, presented a hcaut''nl
,ableau, upon which the eye dehgh'ca 10
rest. Their appearance was only e4Nai'ea
by the admirable manner IN "ll'ch lhey
sang. Never before has DanriIIe had 80
tine a musical treat as was given last night
by Professor Johnson.
At the conclusion of the cantata, Fro
fcssor johnson, of Grccnville, sang two
comic songs, which nearly conruIscd the
audience with laughter. ] never knc"
before what power really fine singer has
over an audience 1t will be long time
before Danville will forget the portly
singer or his songs. The Professor is on
his way to Europe. May he have quick
and safe trip, and may his shadow never
grow less.
The Masons were out in procession to-
mathematical to the Baptist church,
where most excellent address was de-
livered by DR.. r. 7. Atkinson and, IKE
every other address Of the Doctors, was
done up in excellent English, and aboundcd
with good sense and if it did not convince
every one of the superior cXcellcncy OF
the tenets Of Free Masonry, it certainly
was not the fault of the speaker or his

On last Thursday the closing exercises
Of this Institute came oil, and although 1nI X,
weather was most inclement, the me nan
was crowded with an intelligent audience
Of citizens and strangers.
The commencement exercises were
opened b. sextette," which was IN
deed a novelty, rich and rare both IN us
arrangement and execution, requiring Two
pianos, with two performers on each IN
strument, parlor organ, and vloin. Inc
whole piece was rendered with such eA,
Gnisite taste and cOnsummate skill anu
beauty as exhibited the complete mastery
or Tho performers over their instruments,
and ire close was received with such a
hearty and long continued burst OF APP
nlausc tina. lrthought it would never END.
4 chorus was sung By the entire singing
class. aided by two performers on cach
niano and bv one on the parlor organ.
The climax Of the vocal entertainment
was reached when the music composed by
Professor Ide to Edgar a. Poc'S ballad OF
the Bells was performed.
Long shall we remember the mellow
wedding bells, The overture to William
Tell we never heard before but from It's
rich melody and gentle cadences we nope
to hear it often again performed as 1t was
on that evening. Then followed the dis
tributon of diplomas, medals, and pre-
sents, of which there was goodly number
The valedictory was delivered by a gra-
duate. The chastc and elegant language
oI her address, and her beautiful reading
of the same, enchained the attention of the
entire audience. The response was de-
livercd by a member Of the intermediate
class, and exhibited a high degree of in,
tcllcctual attainment.
The Rev. William Randolph, of Alcxan-
dria, then addressed the graduates in o
very impressive and eloquent manner on
the Emission of Woman" He portrayed
in vivid and life-likc colors, the peculiar
power of the gentlcr sex, and their intlu.
