ing an End.

The Normal Institute is drawing to a
close. We venture to say there is not one
among the hundreds who have attended that
is not highly pleased with the proceedings.
We see satisfaction portrayed on every
derived much information, but they have
had the pleasure of meeting their colleagues,
exchanging views and making acquaint-
ances.
Aside from the educational benefit de-
rived, who is it that is not repaid for his
trip by the social intercourse with his teach
or friends? The session has been a success
in every way. Everybody is pleased, and
the teachers will leave for their homes the
latter part of the week, feeling much i'm
proved in body and mind.
Colonel Lockett announced yesterday
that DR.. w. S. Load would preach at the M.

Normal Institute and the public generally
are invited to be present His subject is an

Prof F. l.. Sedan delivered his last lee
ture but one yesterday morning. He de-
voted the greater part of his time to school
| discipline and his sound views explicitly
loxpounded, made deep impressions on his
hearers. His tluency of language and
genial manner combine to make him a
pleasant talker
At the second hour, one of the best lee
lures that has been given during the course
of the Institute, was delivered by Prof. W.

teaching of the epochs of history with Ge-
! ography, illustrating his words by several
touching historical events. He elected the
sympathy and attention of his audience,
which was proven by the frequent and
in his thrilling lecture. . $3.50
Prof. J. NJ. McBryde delivered his last
lecture yesterday on Botany. His course
has been as thorough as could be expected
in such limited time, and has been highly
beneficial to those who have heard him.
! Prof. E. S. Joynes also delivered his last
lecture on English on the subject of Compo-
sition. This course is very popular and an
observer cannot fail to have seen the inter-
est manifested in Trof. Joynes' lecture.
Prof. Jones delivered also his last lecture
on Pennmanship. He is thoroughly con-
yersant with the theory and art of chirogra-
ply and his talks have been of advantage to
the members of the Normal Institute.
