the
COMPETENCY OF ALBERT THoRHulLL
to testify in the cause we think there is no
error in the ruling of The Circuit Court. BY
express statute be is not incompetent by rea-
son OF his being executor; and 1t does not
appear that be had any such Interest
in the establishment of the codicil as
would dsquality him as a subscribing
witness. AS to the ruling with regard to
to the competency Of James 81. Gooding the
Joint deed OF bis wife ard himself, releasing
her interest in the estate OF johnson, if she
had an interest ia that estate, which would
render her husband incompetent, 1t Was
thereby eXtinguIshed and if she had not,
no releise was necessary to remove inccmpe-
teDcy on that ground.
But they were plaintiffs ia the suit, and
liable for costs. The rule which eXcludas Il
party to the record as witness in the cause
applies TO all cases where the party has any
interest 1T stake 10 the suit, although it be
only liability for costs, and excludes pro-
chem ami, &c. (Murphy's administrator Ell

position OF the wife OF u Prochein ami eau

W.. vernon schooI picnic.

The children Of Mt. Vernon school,
Thirteenth District, Mr.. 4. 7. Brennan,
prinCipal, Miss Ward, assistant, together
with a number Of invited guests, spent a
very pleasant day ia the woods yesterday.
The refreshing rains Of the day before,
having drenched off the dust and cooled the
air, rendered the occasion of the Children's
picnic all the more enjoyable. This school
numbers about enc hundred pupils, nearly
all of whom were present, adorned with
flowers and looking bright and happy.
The exercises Of the day, after the open
ing march, commenced by the rendering Of
Wilson's beautiful OpeIteta, "The May
Queen" in an excellent aud gratifying
manner. Miss Katie Lavender, having
been chosen Queen, sang with sweetness
and expression, as did also her Maids OF
Honor, Misses Alice Leslie and Ada Lucas.
The little flower girls, Lucretia Schmidt
and Eta Harrison, were certainly the
tiniest little fairies imaginable, and acted
their parts remarkably we'll. Mr.. Brennan
accompanied them on the organ.
The boys then gave several very fine
speeches and dialogues, after which they
all adjourned to a cOpiOus and inviting
"spread," presided over by Mrs. j. (. H-gg,
and assisted by a number of beautiful
Young ladies from the city. The children
seemed TO enjoy this part Of the programme
very much. CrOquet, swings, dancing, etc,
finished out a delightful day.
We congratulate the people of the Thir-
teenth District on their very efficient COM
missioners, on their faithful and accom-
plished teachers, aud on their intelligent

Contest for the Medals Last Night.
The final exercises of the Agatheridan
Literary Society came off last night at the
University. Notwithstanding the threat
ening weather the ball was packed to its
utmost capacity. A large proportion of
the audience belonged 10 the fair sex, and
the aspiring youth who could not
be inspired by having such an
assemblage of lovely creatures for his
auditors is fit for treasOn-or anything else.
After music by the band, the contest for
the DISCLAIMERS medal began. There were
ten contestants in the field, and while all
could not get the medal, more were unde-
serving of praise. Archie Yell, of Tennes-
see, with "The Prosecution carried
off the prize, and won the applause of
everybody in the hall.
Next in order came the contest for the
| orators medal, which was won by Robert
Vaughan, of Tennessee, over three COM
petitOrs. His Grafton, "Tbe Effect of As
sOciatiOns and Surroundings upon Man and
| Nations was delivered in high
/ ly creditable manner, and won for
him the hearty applause of his
| hearers. The debaters' medal was awarded
/ to 5. \. Upper, jr., of South Carolina, the
President of the Society. Gov. Porter, DR..
Kelley, and Senator Wade were the judges,
| and their decisions gave entire satisfaction.
| The medals will be delivered at the COM
nIencement exercises at the Capitol next
month. After the conclusion of the literary
exercises the guests were invited to the
hall below to participate in a most enjoy
able hop.

PICNIC inthe Tenth nIstrIct.

Tie annual May picnic Of the Tenth Dis
triCt took. place on yesterday at Thompson
Seminary, at which place the various
schools Of the district had their exercises
The sBy-t0wn school, Hr. Lawrence,
teacher, opened the exercises with dia-
I0gue Magic Lamp, followed by declama-
tons. songs, speeches, plays and Rotations;
after which, Miss Murray's pupils took the
stage, opening with a song, then recita-
lions, plays and dialogues; Miss FarTels'
pupils came third in order going through
similar exercises, and lastly, the primary
department conducted 10y Mr.. (. Moore.
The children acted their Several
parts well, rejecting much credit
on tier teaches. The pleasure
attending the occasion was a lit
lie marred by the continual noise kept up
10y some few young men in the rear Of the
audience. The exercises closed at two
O'Clock, dinner coming next in order, and
here were seen tables laden with abundant,
substantial edibles, which soon allayed, al
ter a full half hours engagement, the sharp
appetite5 Of both old aud young.
Through the skilifUl supervision OF
MeSsrs. McGredy aud LOngwOTth, dHec-
tors. all enjoyed themselves rOmdly. No
tiresome, fulsome speeches were made
only a few remarks by Messrs. r. W.
WeakleY and Judge Ferris, suitable to the
occasion and complimentary to pupils,
teachers and school directors. The music
was good, the dancing also, and when the
time arrived for all to HE hOmeward, every
participant had been greatly delighted, and
every child retired to slumber with the
sweet thought and wish Of a like enjoy
ment at their next annual celebration,

4 Game that Ended I'm a Fight.

Tom Smith, a colored youth, had moth
ing 10 do yesterday morning, so be sat
down TO play a game Of checkers with his
friend Julius Harrison, who is a tonsorial
artist living on South Cherry street. The
contest was sharp, and both became in
tensely interested. At length a discussion
arose about a move, and Tom insinuated
that Julius was telling an Untruth, and
further remarked that if he would step out
into the back yard he would put head
on him." The artist took him at his word,
and as they reached the yard each pulled
of bis coat and threw It aside.
The preliminaries were soon arranged,
and the fight commenced in dead earnest.
'They fought like brave men, long and
we'll" first one Ola top and then The other.
In this way the contest continued for some
time with doubtful results, till at last Har-
rison hit his friend blow that made him
vel s'dal viii do, and thefght ended. But
this was not the end of the little trouble,
for officers Tindall and Hope came along,
and victor and vanquished were marched
of to the statiOn-hoUse. Having failed TO
give bond for their appearance, they were
put behind the bars.
