To the Editors of the Chronicle
Yesterday large crowd of East Ten
nesseeans and Southwestern 'Virginians
witnessed the closing exercises of Reedy
Creek Academy, and of that large assem-
bly, we are fully justified in saying that not
one was disappointed. Although hthiss
Academy has been in successful operation
for sixteen years, and for several years of
that under the tutelage of teachers whose
reputation was not merely neighborhood,
yet the present school, all are ready to
agree has shown more decided improve
ment than any ever taught there before.
Most of the young men attending this ses- 4
sion were of limited means. They came
here because boarding was cheap, and be-
cause the teacher is, to great extent, a
self-made man, and the best teacher in the
South, and of course they did not come to 4
while away their time-they have studied. 1
The crowd was highly entertained. Good
observation-disclosures of the sensible and of
the mirth provoking character, but not
enough to weary, interspersed, with now
and then a select piece of vocal music,
happily rendered, inimitable instrumental

The speeches were all exceedingly well
delivered, and we do not wish to be con- /
sidered invidious, but VIM. III. Foust,
young man of scarce seventeen summers,
was so truly eloquent and showed so much
of the genuine orator, that we cannot help
giving him particular notice, His man.

At night, we attended concert given |
by the Young ladies of the Blountvilie Ma
sonic Female Institute, and with the ex-
ception of being just literally crammed
into rather small room ALREADY filled to |
overf1owing, all was very pleasant. The |
dialogues were of fair selection and pretty |.

full and elegantly arranged ; the music,
both voca! and instrumental, was of the

The most of the week was taken up ex-

those that heard the examination, that
every pupil evinced thoroughness of pre-,
paration in an eminent degree. I'll s4J -tIl
A report read by the Secretary of the
Board of Trustees showed the institution
on better foundation, and with betterpros-

A heavy rain sloud, whose northern
border just skirted the upper. and eastern
portions of Blountville, discharged as it
went Ger the town on yesterday evening,
a heavy bolt of fury at two old sturdyllo-
Gusts, sadly disfiguring their heretofore
much admired symmetry AT about 10 P.
NJ, and OF the same day the locusts were
struck, at the upper END of town, and just
as the crowd that had been attending the
concert was leaving the Institute, light
ming struck a small tree in the yard of the
Methodist parsonage, right close by where
persons were passing constantly, but for.
tunately no one was seriously hurt at
either time. - as
When, I left Blountville, this evening,
the engineering corps upon the Cumber-
land Gap Branch of the A. M. & o. r. r.
had lust reached a point a few hundred
yards north of the town. They are trying
the route according. TO promise, and, if
the most suitable, will recommend it.
Chief Engineer. Fisher, in Major Fink's
absence. is very Industrious and very
honest man, too, we believe. He istrying
all the routes, and the most aceeptableY
with regard to distance and grade will be
recommended, without regard to enemies
Or friends. .se9n-ds
