MARY SHARP CoLLEGE.-The exercises
o Determination at this institution closed
Friday last, Eighteen young ladies re-
ceiyed diplomas. This is the largest grad
uating class That ever received the honors
of the school since its foundation, showing
its prosperity to be undated. The cata-
logue shows the largest class since the
war. The examination showed the usual
proficiency of the pupils and industry of
the Faculty. Everything went off well,
giving quite a gala week in Winchester.
1t would be, perhaps, needless to particu-
larize the merits of the different classes;
and it is sufficient to say that while the
number of pupils falls far short of ante
bellum days, still Mary Sharp College to-
day is all in other respects that it ever
was. The Faculty is now complete. The
we think are ahead of any other college
in the whole South. They feel to be set
tied permanently in their professorships,
and the probability now is that no more
changes will be felt for a long time to
come, unless from Providential DISPENSE
tions, which are unforeseen at this time.
The Department in Music is, perhaps, in
better condition than ever before in the
history Of this college, and VIC may truly
say that while the literary training at
Mary Sharp equals the palmicst days, the
fine arts are still more cultivated, and
young ladies receive the highest culture in
all that can refine and accomplish the
feminine heart. We venture to say that
nothing has ever excellcd the case, gracci
fulness and refinement exhibited by the
Senior class just now passed from the
halls of Mary Sharp College. This was
observed by all persons visiting the ex-
animation. Nothing affected, nothing SUI
perfluous, but all unOstentatious, amiable
and pure We thought, while observing
their manner, that human nature was here
perfected, ana could not be the rude ma
terial which tits so often expressed to be.
One thing is certain: if all the young la
dies ofthis country could receive the moral
and literary accomplishments that are
taught at this institution. we all would
soon experience paradise regaincd."

PERsoSAL.-Mr. +. A. Loughmiller, who
has been scanning the rich lands of Kan
sas; and Rev. a, d. Trimble, who has been
engaged at laudable duties in Mississippi
and other States, have both returned to
their homes in Winchester. to remain for
n season We suppose.
And aside from these we could mention
a large number OF quondom residents OF
Winchester who are here for a little sea-
son, but, cui bono? They are all clever,
~yirtuous gentlemen, and we love them too
well to indulge in fulsome compliment,
even if we could, and even if the omission
should cause them to think we are not the
generous, appreciative and social being VIC
know ourself to be. Yes, they are all vir-
trous, gallant gentlemen, and If they all
were girls and had but n mouth we'd
"kiss them all at once. from north to
SOUTH" Virtuous boys, adieu! and re-
member that you are always welcome
whether impelled into our presence by
fear Of cholera, q desire to see our beau
tiful country or the beautiful girls that
inhabit 1t; or todrive = bargain, or squan-
der time--it matters not. With all your
abominable faults we love you still. And
you certainly must be happy. for you are

MUsICAL.-The two concerts given by
Professor r. L. Steinhagen andshis pu-
pills, at Mary Sharp College, on Monday
and Wednesday nights Of last week, were
largely attended, and deserved the APP
plause of all present. On Monday night
was played a Cantata, in two parts, called
the Flower Queen, and excepting a little
trouble in the mechanical arrangement of
the drop curtain, the whole affair passed
off without any apparent confusion. The
programme for Wednesday night was a
splendid one, yet Il little too long. Every
performer did well, yet
aspiring would be but gloomy weather,
Had we nothing else but Spring."
and we would suggest that hereafter the
programme be curtailed to suit the brevi-
ty of the nights.
As to the skill displayed by the musical
scholars there can be no question, and as
little question, also, that Prof. Steinhagen
is the superior, as a teacher, to any one
ever connected with the Mary Sharp
This is a bold assertion, yet we believe ii
firmly.

CHOLERA PREVENTIVE We believe the
best way to prevent, or ward off this fear
full disease, which Is alarming the country
generally just now, is to be regular and
temperate in diet and drink; avoid eX-
ccsses in all kinds of labor; rightly OBJ
serve cleanliness in all respects, and
above all not allow the mind to become
unduly alarmed in regard to It,. LaXlty
ofthe bowels is generally a concomitant
of tie vegetable season, and should not
alarm any one, nor do we believe that
health will be impaired by use of all
native vegetables, if not allowed to be-
come stale beforehand. Green apples,
and unripc fruits Of all kinds, must, en-
eerite, be eschewed, but we do not believe
that cholera will be inducedby using veg
etables and fresh meats that constitute
the table dhOte Of most OF our homes at
this season. Yet, we are not n doctor nor
the son of a doctor. But the COMMON
lieve was vouchsafed us by nature, die
tates TO us the necessity Of attending to
what we have said. Very little labor
on the part of our citizens, in order to
keep their premises free from decay
ing matter of all kinds, hog-wal-
lows, dampness. filth, &C., will secure
perfect health in this elevated region
of country, where The eudiometcr would
certainly reveal q natural purity Of at
mosphere compensatory for the lank con-
dition ofour purses. Especially ought we
to feel.grateful that the water in our sec
tion is generally pure, except where care
~lessness permits cisterns to become foul
and full Of wiggletailS, and if it be true
that cholera follows the limestone region
we have this additional reason to believe
that we shall not be visited by it. Never
theless, we are constrained to publish the
singular preventive mentioned by a cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. lie says:
az is reported that Asiatic cholera is in
Louisville and other places, If this be
true, use sulphur in your socks. A half
tcaspoonfull in each sock every morning
is enough. This will charge your system
with sulphurated hydrogen, which Dr..
Herring-high authority with the hon.
eo~paths-says is bar to cholera, as you
can see in his medical work published
twenty years ago. Many used it as above
in st. Louis in 1866 and 1867, and | did not
hear of a case among such.

DAVID S. CURLE.-Perhaps no Winches-
ter boy deserves more credit than the one
we have mentioned, and his presence with
us the past week has reminded us to give
him n complimentary notice. The mu'
steal talent characteristic of his family
has descended to him us palpably as the
manifestations OF inherent greatness have
come from the elder Adams down to the
fourth generation. And here's 10 your
credit, David. Your are worthy of all wo
could say in your praise. Consider it
said, and let lis wish thatthc music ofyour
tongue, inspired by the soft sweet strains
which flow from any instrument you
touch, may win the heart ofthe fair one
y0ur heart shall ever wish to make its
own.

The CuoLERA.-This disease has been
prevailing at Nashville, and some other
limestone districts in this State. The
mortuary reports from Nashville show
about fifteen deaths per day from cholera,
as appears from the papers of that city.
1t however seems, such has been the par
tial reports of papers heretofore when the
disease invaded that city, that very few
persons now believe the statements in the
papers, all believing the mortality very
much greater than reported. Indeed, per-
sons from Nashville, who have fed from
the epidemic, give a more alarming state
of facts than is indicated by newspaper re-
ports. We cannot determine what the
truth is, except. that there is cholera in
Nashville, and none in the beautiful,
heaIthul and pleasant little town OF Win
chester, but there is room here for those
who would escape from districts affected
by the epidemic.

DECHERD, June 16, 1872.

DECHEhD, juno ~, loiE'
All quiet. The passenger trains are not
crowded going to Nashville, since the
cholera broke out.
Burglars have been prowling about
here of late, hut have doneno damage yet.
Borrowing corn and bacon. without
leave or license, is getting to be the order
of the night around in some OF the neigh
borhoods near Decherd. About a week
ago some thief. or thieves, held a council,
no doubt. and decided that Mr.. Riddle had
more bacon on hand than was actually
necessary for his own family use, and
without the fear Of Mr.. Riddle or his dogs
before theil eyes, they did wantonly break
into bis smoke-house and relieve him of
some five or six pieces of the aforesaid ba-
con. Mr.. h. had just ashed some nice
hams and hung them up, and the loss of
them made him quite ''ashy."
Last Tuesday II good portion of the cir
Gus and mcnagerie wagons passed through
Dccherd. en- route to Winchester. Hun
dreds of people, of all sorts, colors and
sizes, went to witness the grand exhibit
ton. They came from the hills and the
hollows, and Il good many had to borrow
their dollars. The old and the young
went, with their shinpiasters. Wagons
and carts we're loaded down with darHies
of all sizes. from a four hundred pounder
"she'' down to the least "kinky-head" in
the .biziness." 1t was a spending day
for drinking and fighting, but all passed
back quietly:
The wheat crops in the neighborhood OF
Decherd are pretty good, and farmers are
beginning to harvest.
The corn and cotton crops are looking
splendidly. n.
