Continuation of the Examination

The annual examinations Of the students OF
this institution were concluded last evening. The
exercises were pleasantly varied by music under
the guidance Of Prof. Grass, aud by recitations
from the pupils--Ferdinand Shulties. William
Greenwich and Alfred Schmidt. ThB students
passed a very rigid examination. ThOy were ex-
amined not only by the members Of the faculty Of
the college, but by the gentlemen among the
audience in all the branches Of thorough Eng
lish, classical and commercial education. The
answers Of the pupils manifested thorough
knowledge of the subject and ELECTED much ap-
plause. One Of the studies which received special
consideration IL photography, under the Imme-
diate charge OF Prof. Famiau, to whom much
credit is due for his zeal and energy in dItfusing
q knowledge Of this most useful art. To Presi-
dent Tobias and his worthy corps OF professors
especially Isadore and FamiaD, too much praise
cannot be given for having established In our city
an Institution which is second to none, either as
to II numbers or the proficiency Of its pupils.

AUTHORS FETE.

Second Evening of the Entertainment.
The second evening Of the Authors Fete, at
the First Fresby te ian Church, was even more of
a success, If possible, than the FIRST. During the
whole evening the room was thrOnged. The
booths presented an attractive appearance, and
those who presided over them never tagged in
their efforts to entertain their visitors. Directly
in front Of the visitor he enters the door is q
canOpied enclosure, devoted to astrology. This
is the temple Of the 'Stsr.Of Destiny" Here the
ambitious can have their future life revealed for
the reasonable sum Of half dime. Gentlemen
are sometimes prevailed upon to SEND their pic
lures and locks Of their hair and tWOdolar bills,
together with postage stamps, to insure an
answer. 10 some mysterious madame, in a far of
city, merely Tor the pleasure Of seeing their
future Wife's face These gentlemen had better

while il is in our part Of the heavens, and they
will obtain considerable more satisfaction. Then
there is the Shakespeare booth and the Spanish
GyPsy's tent, with a spring Of running lemonade
in front OF 1t attended by q lemonade Undine.
Then there is Mother GOose's corner, with all her
little people, and with the little old woman who
resided in a shoe and was troubled with a super
abundance Of children. The staid little old We
man sits in her dwelling knitting away and
Rlaneing at the crowd occasionally through her
glasseF, and then tenderIy caresslng one Of her
numerous progeny, who hang about her in the
shape Of dolls. Then there is Washington

by the time the visitor reaches the next, Dickens
6ooth, he has completed the circuit of the room.
Every character that ever appeared in fiction is

voLrPTvoUs CLEOPATRA,
to the unpTetending Jack Homer. The eharac.
tiers that are not represented by those presiding
over booths can easily be supplied from the visit
OIs There are the rich fathers and simperin0
daughters and the Augustus Fitz Melodies Of the
ordinary society novel. AS in all entertainments
Of the kind, the visitors keep Circulating around
the room. Occasionally a couple OF boyS stop be-
fore the foTtune-teller's tent and ponder a long
time over the subject, and finally 20 in and learn
their fate. Fat men rush around the room Winning
