Goth ult The Courthouse building, in which
the programme was enacted, had been taste
fully prepared and decorated for the occasion,
and the exercises, consisting Of the reading of
original compositions and musical selections,
were rendered in such excellent style as to re-
fleet honor on the pupils, and credit upon the

DESTRUCTION OF GAME.-The Importance
of preserving game birds, and of restricting the
outrage of pot Hunting is universally acknowl-
edged. The game laws Of Virginia unfortu-
nately are by no means as stringent as they un-
questionably ought to be, and when the Legis-
lature meets again, it is to be hoped that the
defect may be remcdied. July shooting is an
abomination, though some people kill and
other eat woodcock- during that month. Whole
broods are destroyed while the gunncr-we
cannot say sportsman-only secures poor birds,
at>the same time cutting off the chances Of. OBJ
tanning full.grown, plump birds in the fall. 1t
is for the interest Of all who haye any concern
in either the Killing or eating Of birds that this
summer slaughter should be prohibited. ,..
