ed the highest praise and the boys great
credit. The audience were highly pleas
ed and entertained and we learn that nu-
merous requests have been made for cop

On Wednesday the young ladies' Of
Capt. w. II. Morrow's Seminary had
their examination and acquitted themselves
very handsomely and credi'ably, reflect
ing great credit upon Capt, Morrow and
his assistant. The closing exercises on
Friday evening were very interesting and
the young ladies' performed their several
pats very well, and their representation
of the popular gentleman" "Mr.
Brown" psrtook more Of real life than Of
mimic life.
These Schools will reopen again on
The first Monday in September next, and
wO hope our citizens Of Town and vicin-
ity will show that interest in pauonlzing
and keeping up these schools which they
so well merit. The efforts these gentle
men are making to furnish US schools for
the education of young men and ladies',
that will obviate the necessity and cx-
pense of sending TO distant institutions,
deserve our greatest praise and thanks.
They are gentlemen well qualified for
the instruction Of youth and fully compe-
ten, for the responsible POSITIONS they
hold. They we're born, raised and edu-
called among Us and are well known TO our
community as responsible and deserving
educators.
