COLUMBIA, June 26.
The events OF chief interest In Columbia
this week are the public exercises at the
university, the present session OF which closes
on Saturday. The Hon. John E. Bacon de-
liyered the anniversary oration before the TWO
literary societies last night at the University
Chapel. The house was well hlled with the
sl,te Of Columbia society, and the orator en-
tertained them for an hour and half with
highly finished, Interesting and Instructive
address upon the subject Of educated liberty.
The subject, the thoughts, the rhetoric and
The Illustrations were in charming harmony
with the time and occasion, and elclted
the highest enconiums from an appreciatlVe
audience.
Tonight the valedIctory oratlon Of the Cla-
riosophlc Society will be delivered by Mr.. w.
F. Wright, of Anderson, who Is memoef Oh
the present graduating class. To-morro"
night, Mr. John 2. Arthur, will perform the
same Office for the Euphradlan Society, ana
Saturday night the Phl.Kappa-Psi fraternity,
which is secret literary association, Will
have their annual celebration and supper.
Saturday Is commencement day at the Unl'
versity, when the diplomas will be delivered,
and essays will be read by those who have
taken degrees, and BY the graduates OF the
law and medical echool.
Under the able direction of Drs. Darby and
Tasiey, the TWO most prominent and active
professors, the medical school has been made
very efficient. The present class Is sald to be
a very fine one, such as would do credit IN the
high degree of proficiency they have attained
to the best medical colleges In the United
States.
CD. Melton, Esq, who ls the professor oi
law, has brought his school to high degree
OF perfection, making it one OF the ch'el a1'
fractions and sources of patronage to the UNI
verslty.
The literary and scientific departments have
also. as a rule, capable and earnest professors,
and have secured larger attendance this
year than any previous one since the institu-
tlou passed Into. the control OF the present
State officials.
II was feared that an attempt would De
made to mix the races by the Radicals senolng
colored students and compelling their admls'
sion: and this is what has Induced
a large number of the youth oil
South Carolina to pass their own
State institution and seek collegiate ad-
vantages elsewhere. But with the exception
of some ill-advised appointments OF profess
sors, the State officials have not interfered
iujuriously with the institution, and it Is
hoped that now, as Cafln University has been
established for the colored youth. and been
handsomely endowed with the entire Agri-
cultural College scrip, amounting to nearly
5000, 1000, that the University here may be kept
for the white people. Q0I VIVE.

BEAR HUNTING At BLACKvLLE.-The hunt
ing experience of party Of gentlemen near
Blackville recently, would seem 10 prove that
the advances of modern civilization, and even
the rattle Of the iron horse, which daily passes
through that region, had not entirely driven
from their Businesses the wild beasts. tnat, a
comparatively few years ago, used to roam at
will over the fair surface of South Carolina.
Messrs steadman and Wissinger, OF Black
Vile. have forwarded to this office the gigau.
tic fore paw of black bear, which wa' Killed
BY party of gentlemen one day this week,
only four miles from that place. The beast
weighed tour hundred and twenty-five pounds,
and indeed the dimensions of the paw, which
is in our possession. indicates that hs was
brute of uncommon size, and would be likely
to prove an extremely ugly customer to en-
counter on quiet stroll through the woods.
