THOMPsON's STATION, July 9.-The
closing exercises Of Miss Bonds school,
yesterday, were quite a success. The two
elegant addresses OF the orators of the day,
Mr.. W. T. TTley and Rev. J. y. Nc
Donald, were received with great en-
thusiasm, and the speakers were frequent
IL toasted through the day by the many
beautiful young ladies', who pledged the
''riSing Sun in cups sof cooling water"
and crowned him with a lowered wreath
in bOnor Of his brilliant effort and their
high appreciation Of the same. If any at
tention is to be paid TO "the signs of the
times" We think that he will come down
again soon, and, by the way, that he hung
on the smiles Of a dark IOnian beauty who
was present, viii make a speech somewhat
different from the one Of yesterday; "cOm-
ing events cast their shadows before" you
remember.
Miss Bond is a highly educated and re-
fined young lady, and We predict a brilliant
future for her, in her career as a teacher.
