Ed,to, American Cni-en:
On Wednesday We hal the pleas
ure OF beng present at the rxani
nation uf the scholars of Mr.. NJ. J
Curbitf. We are nor disposed L
give undue praise (" any ieit,'i'rr q
scholars, but will say in ,ju-ric. 1,
MIR. CUrhiir, that his mode of leach
ing and the progress of the schol;t'
SUR asses any thing prrviunsi,
known To- the writer. The proficien
cy of the Latin class, during the
session, for boy y of SO tender AN age
il sutnI Using. The same boys In
mathematics, readily aud without
hesitatinn, worked out successfully
any prnbiem given them. In ass
trun"my aud geography no question
WAS asked but what WAS readily
aud pr"mp ~ answered.
In the spelling and defining OF
words, the scholars were almost
perfect 4; u our memory serves us
Alright, the d, finition Of words came
up properly each time without II
/ failure.
We are disinclIned to praise onr
scholar more than another. but will
not refrain from giving due praise
TO those who did so remarkably
we'll. Master Bonnie Gwinner NOud
mead CT his class in the following
studies Latin, mathematics, gram
mar and geography. Master Kelly,
who is considered 10y his teacher ii
m"dei student, and excellent In all
his studies, deserves much praise.
After examina ion came the oratory.
The young ORATORS did well. Master
w. H. Maybin deciaims most excel
Iently his "Sparticus to the Gia'ii-
ators" was well rendered. If we
mistake not, this youth will he an
orator one ct these days, If piope:'y
trained.
After the oratory, the premiums
were awarded: Brnrie G~innrr.
tor greatest proficiency in latin, W.
II. May bin, for -xcelelncr in OraIo-
ry; JOHN Kelly, for conduct aud dee
pertinent; Emmett Murphy, for ex>
cellence in q branches and tlrr'rr>
ment; Will Redmond. for -xc-i!enre
of conduct and general proficiency
i'll studies. THE premiums wee
handed TO each one by DIR. Maybn
IN n short speech pertinent to the
OCCASION, save the premium to Mas
ter w. FL. Maybia, which was pre-
s-nted by Kew. DR.. Tyn-s in n few
eloquent and graceful remarks.
Mr.. Corbitt is Il teacher of rare
merit; II ripe scholar, and II polish-
cal gentleman. The exercises of the
day closed with an address by DIR,
Tyues, scholarly, eloquent and TO
rhe purpose, in Iris usual graceful
and dignified manner.
Much praise WAS elicIted from the
audienc- both for the teacher and
! hr pupi's.- We hope for many auch
r-turns of commencement, so gratis
tying to parents and to pupils.
