FEMALE ACADEMY.

We resume our interrupted ac-
count of the exercises at the Acade-
my last week. We closed the report
in our last issue by giving descrip-
ton of the Calisthenic contest, to-
gether with just such brief jottings
of the exercises in reading as we
had been able to write during the
performance. These had not been
Intended for publication, but only
as private memoranda, and would
not have been published at all but
that the lateness of the hour made
it impossible for us to prepare any
thing better by the time of our going
to press FRIDAY mOrning). Wewlll
therefore now give our impressions
of them in full.
The trio, ''TO the Woods We'll
Hasten" by Misses Bruce, Parrish
and Caldwell, exhibited cOnsidera-
BILE vocal culture in all the singers,
but its effect was somewhat impaired
bv a habit, very difficult to break
in Young singers, of waiting for one
another, instead of each singing
strictly in time and so ensuing an
effective ensemble.
Miss Louise BeaumOnts reclta'
ton, 'The Minuet," was not one OF
the exercises for the prize; if it had
been so, it would hove stood fail
chance of winning. We have seldom
heard better elOcutiOn.
"Hezekiah Bedott :" read with a
fine sense of humor by Miss Luly
Grady.
"Fanfare Militaire :" eight hands
on two pianos. No waiting for one
another here; the time was perfect
and the expression brilliant.
"Darius Green" A humOrou,
piece read with appreciative sense
Of the ludicrous by Miss Belle
Kecsee.
Extracts from Shakespeare, reaC
bv Miss Campbell. Not very
suitable selection for a young lady
but carefully read; the falling in
Election too much adhered to, render
ing the expression mOnotonous.
ssThe Moneyless Man. was de
Tivered by Miss Florence Couts wit
GOOD emphasis and just expression
seThe Caudle Lecture :" read wit
wonderful power by Miss Luli
Drane; not a point of humor W;
missed and the pronunciation VIZ
perfect, every word being distinct
pronounced. This was the prii
reading.

of the Hecla and st. Bernard

sons composed the excursion party.
After refreshing the physical man

put in charge of Col. Ford who

We were "Ioaded up" in little cars,

These mines employ 175 men, and
produce annually 2,225,O00 bushels
of coal. After exploring the
mines, seeing the miners "dig" and
'blast," we got in our cars and were
drawn back to the foot of the shaft,
and again drawn up into day

refreshments consisted of lemonade
and cigars). We were then escorted
up to the mouth of the st. Bernard

drake Pills is sure to prevent an
attack of billiousness, when short
neglect of the warning symptoms
may develop n serious case of fever,
either bilious, intermittent or
typhoid.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills remove
all causes of biliousncss, promptly
start the secretions Of the liver, and
give a healthy tone to the entire
system. 1t is no ordinary discovery
in medical science to have found q
harmless cure for this stubborn
complaint, which accomplishes NIL
the results heretofore produced by
n free use of calomel, mineral
Justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in
the extreme to tho human system.
That the properties of certain vege-
tables comprise all the virtues of
calomel without it's injurious quali~
ties, is now an admitted fact, ren-
dered indisputable by scientific tests.
Those who uso the Mandrake Pills
will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by
nature in the common herbs and
roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and
correct all bilious arrangements
without salvation or any of the in
furious effect Of calomol or other
poisons. The secretion of magic
bile is regulated as will be seen by
the altered color of the stools, the
disappearance of the sallow COM
plexion and the cleansing of the
tongue.
