To-day closes the school life Of the chill
dren Of this city for the term, and it would
be hard to find any Of them who are sorry
for it. The examinations are all over, and
they feel free. On Wednesday varied
programme was presented at the High
School, consisting OF examination OF clas-
ses, music, declamations, and orations,
one Of the latter, by viii P. Lee, Of the
"B" class, on the Relation of Agricul-
ture to Other Employments," being es.
pecially commendable, as illustrating the
need OF more farmers, and the crowded
condition OF trades, different branches OF
business, and professions. II also eulo-
giEed the farmer to considerable extent,
citing numerous great men who came
from the farm, and closing by referring TO
General Garfield.
Examinations were also held in the
Rolling Milling, Jacksonville and colored
schools on Wednesday, and in the city
schools today. Tomorrow, beginning at
Q a. NJ, in the Second Presbyterian
Church, the commencement exercises Of
the "a" class, High School, will be held,
and the programme promises rare
treat. The class numbers thirty-one pu-
pills, and is one OF the largest ever
graduated by the school. ofthis number,
two Of the boys, Bartholomew Grinder
and Welday Walker, are colored, both Of
whom have proved very bright pupils,
and promise TO be an honor TO the colored
race. The salutatory Will be delivered by
Miss Carrie McCune, and the valedictory
by w. Tappan, who has stood 10, the high
est possible, during the entire school
year.
lhe June term OF the Common Pleas
Court opened with $50 civil cases and 20
criminal on the docket, smaller number
than usual. But while the total number
Of cases is smaller, the number OF Jury
trials has been larger than at any term for
some time. Probably the most Important
case brought before the Court up 10 the
present time was thatof James Duffy vs.,
the Jefferson Iron Works, wherein the
plaintiff sued to recover Sl5, 900 damsges
TOR injuries received in the coal shaft OF
said Company. This case was tried TO
jury, which. after being out some time,
Jailed to arrive at any agreement and was
discharged by the Court on Tuesday. Sew
eral whisky cases have come up, aud sew
eral OF the landladies OF housrs OF III fame
are awaiting trial. The most important
cases, in financial view, on the docket,
are those Of Fossett vs.. Morgan Coal and
Iron Company, OF Irondale, and wm. u.
Cole, assignee OF the Empire Fire Insur.
ance Company, OF Wheaton, Ill, Va. j. II.
Walter ct al, but 1t is net likely that either
OF these cases will be reached at the pres.
entterm Of Court. When they are reached
they will prove very lengthy, as they are
both very important cases.
