The ADELPHrA.-The new programme at
the Adelphia last evening was great improve
ment. The Henri Family still amuse the
audience with their artistic clog dance. Huber
and Glidden, the great musical geniuses, are as
funny as ever, and Baby Mcdonald is as cum
ming as child of her age can be. Conway
and Mack, the song and dance artists, are the
best ever here. Miss Allen, the ballad signer,
is very pleasing. Miss Lavarnie, the serio.
comic vocalist, is great attraction. Mr..
Frank A. Gibbons, the aerial king, made his
first appearance for the season last evening.
He is, as ever, the best trapeze performer
travelling, and always draws well. On Monday
evening next the following new artists will
appear: Barlow brothers, double jig and song
and dance; Fred Carroll banjo soloist and
comedian; Sheenan and Jones, Irish come
dams; Thomas Jackson and Coral Leigh,
dramatic and variety stars; Conway and
Kerrigan, reel dancers and Irish bag pipe
players.

State VS.. John Burts for profanity was
called, tried and disposed of, the jury
finding John guilty. The Court fined

PR0F 4. ". WILSON.


The .determination of Prof. A. w.
Wilson. of Reagan High School. to
remove from our town at the end Of
the present scholastic year, for the
purpose Of taking charge of the Rog-
ersviIle Female College. has been
known to many of his friends for
some time, but in the card below he
makes a formal announcement of the
fact to the public.
We but reflect the sentiment OF
this community, without n dissent
ing voice, in regretting the with
drawal of Prof. Wilson from the
High School which has given such
fame and honor to our town +,
and placed his name foremost on the
list of educators in the South. When
the present school year has closed,
he shall have been with US eight
! years, having opened his school here
on the 9th of August, 1867. During
this time he has built up q school
of which he may well be proud, and
it seems strange that he would now
leave and embark in another enter
prise. But duty calls him elsewhere,
and he obeys.
We congratulate the citizens of
RogersvilIe that the difficulties that
have SO long hung over their once
prosperous and still substantial
school building have been at length
so satisfactorily solved, and that it
goes into the hands Of the gentle
man it does. The building with its
beautiful surroundings, has been
purchased by the Presbyterians,
whose earnest endeavor will be to
make it first class female college.
To say that the denomination has
been fortunate in securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Wilson, speaks but
feebIy the worth and merit Of the
man. His life has been spent in
the school room. He has been an
instructor of both sexes. Wherever
he has labored his efforts have been
crowned with success, and to-day he
enjoys a reputation as teacher Sec
ond to none in the State. Parents
who have daughters to educate
thoroughly, can do no better than to
put them under the care of Mr..
Wilson.
The withdrawal of Prof. Wilson
from the senior professorship of
Reagan High School will devolve
the duties and responsibilities of the
Principal chair of that Institution
hereafter upon Prof. j. A. Carriger,
q gentleman who has entirely the
confidence of all who know him as
an instructor. We have the utmost
confidence that he will associate with
him in the future management of the
school able and competent assist
ants, and preserve the high reputa-
ton the school now enjoys. We
commend Prof. Wilson's parting
suggestion in reference to the school
to the earnest consideration of our
toWnsmen.
