Before the exercises commenced, Mr. J. o.
Wilson, In neat presentation address, on
behalf Of the young ladies Of the school, pre-
seated TO Miss Evans, the teacher, a beautiful
gold watch and chain valued at 900, which
was received with becoming dignity and mod
esty.
During the entertainment, Miss Mary Relss
presided at the plano, and played the accom-
paniments In a most artistic manner. All did
well, and when every part was well executed
II would be invidious to particularize. Suf
lce 1t to say that Miss Evans has achieved a
perfect success In her efforts, as results show,
and parents and trustees, as well as the spec.
tators generally, were highly pleased with
what they saw and heard on this Interesting
occasion.
At the close Of the exercises, Senator Pat
terson was introduced to the school by Mr..
Wilson, when he stated that he had visited
similar occasions, and that he had remained
In the city two or three days this time on pur-
pose to pay them this visit. Every time he
came he was more pleased. He felt like Henry
Ward Beecher, who stopped at certain
hotel, and at the table received the bill OF
fare and called for some ste Ak. The walter
brought q piece about two inches square,
when Mr.. Beechcr turned It over, cycling 1t
closely, and then spoke up: "Yes, that Is the
right kind, bring me some OF It," He Uhe
speaker) felt just that way about the school;
It was the right kind, and he wanted to sec II.
Hence he remained here. He observed the
watch just presented to Miss Evans, and said
he was pleased to see that they kept time
here, and did not propose to lose moments as
they ny. BY saving the odd moments, and by
gathering the STRAY and scattered thoughts,
they would gain time, knowledge and expe.
rience, which would be ever useful to the In
after life.
The exercises closed with prayer by Rev.
DR.. Butler.

THE ACCIDENT AT HOWARD USIyERsITY.-
We learn from a gentleman connected with
the building of the Howard University hos
pital that the cause OF the accident on Mon
day Is attributed to the action OF the frost
upon the walls, which had been saturated
with water by the recent rains and then
frozen. The sudden rise In temperature yester-
day caused the earth also to give way, and
doubtless contributed to the disaster. Gen.
MichleT, Edward Clark, Architect, Capitol
Extensionj J. W. Rumsey and Francis Wivel,
builders, and Charles Webster, mason, have
been requested by Gen. Howard to serve on a
board for the investigation of the accident.
