she pleasure Of forming one OF g

BRILLIANT EXERCISES.
Closing Exercises Of Corincton High
School.

ington High School took place al
the Courthouse, last Thursday
night, under the most favorable
auspices. The audience was large
and select, while the pupils of the
school, occupying the front seats,
wore smiling faces and gay counte-
nances, upon tho evening which
was to usher in their tNc months
vacation.
promptly at S o'clock the exer-
eises began with solo, by Mrs. A.
E. Belden, who has always mani
tested deep interest in this young
but growing school, and cheerfully
and willingly done whatever she
could to assist it.
The salutatory address, written
and read by Miss A. V. Foote, was
fairl J rendered. Her discourse was
on the subject of Education" in
which she spoke of the Importance
of gaining a little instruction, at
least, and stated that education was
compulsory in some OF the States,
and she favored its extension in all.
The essay was followed by song,
"1hs Gypsy Chorus, by Misses
Belden, Foote, Thiery, Frederick
and Joyner.
Then came the honorary address,
by Miss A. J. Thiery, who delivered
it in a happy and creditable man
ner. Her essay, entitled "Woman,
and Her Unjust Restrictions" was
very entertaining, and was received
with great applause. She strongly
asserted, "Woman should have as
many privileges and occupy as
high positions in this world as
man." "is it not ridiculous" she
continued, ''to see biped, termed
a man, standing behind a counter,
measuring tape and ribbons, while
his wife is at home sursing over
the washtub, or in the kitchen do
ing the drudgery? Education is
equipping Woman With tie war
garb of protection, and soon. yea,
very soon, she'll show the puny
man that she can WELD the pen, and
he can use the broom; or. at least,
he must recognize her as Lis equal
in all things, and grant her equal
rights"
The song and chorus, s'Twiken-
ham Ferry" was then rendered in
excellent style by Misses Belden,
Thiery, foote, Frederick and JOY
ner.
Master Nicolas Joyner then de-
livered the valedictory, il an able
and manly style.
This was followed by the solo,
'fTben You'll Remember Me-" by
Miss A. V. Foote, which was highly
appreciated by the audience and
greeted with rounds of applause.
Rev. Geo. I. VickeIs vas then in
troduced as the speaker of the
evening. He addressed his re-
marks mainly to the school chill
dren. in which he kindly impressed
upon them the future good fruits
that would result from Che seeds of
knowledge they are now sowing,
and babe them to continue stead
lastly and diligently in their studies.
He related several amusing anec-
dotes, illustrative OF, the results of
gross ignorance, and urged upon
them the great Importance and adj
of having good education.
After the address, Misses A. V.
Focte and A. Belden sang a duet,
Fanny Gray" which
was loudly applauded by the de-
lighted audience.
Then came the most important
feature of the evening. and the one
most anxiously awaited for by the
little ones, the distribution of pre-
NUNS. Mr.. w. w. Dunbracco

the parents of the scholars and
friends of the school were invited
to partake of cake and lemonade.

which the evening was pleasantly
spent in dancing.
The Covington High School has
progressed wonderfully in the brief
space of its existence, under the
able management Of Mr.. Dunbracco
and his talented assistant, Mrs. L.
H. Hawkins, both graduates of
Maryland colleges, and our citizens
have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the result OF the
first years session. The children
all show a marked improvement in
their studies, and under the stimu-
lating influence Of increased advan-
tages. it is but natural that they
should apply their minds more
closely to their studies, and strive
to excel. In this respect, the ex-
cellent manner in which the schol-
ars have acquitted themselves, as
shown by the reports, should be a
source Of pride to both the parents
aud the teachers. The High School
is now we'll established and self-sus-
tanning, and merits the substantial
support and encouragement of all
our citizens. Though the session
just closed was successful beyond
all expectation, we hope to see the
next session even more fruitful of
good results, commencing. as it
will, with III established reputa-
ton, and under more favorable cir

SEVENTY DROWNED INAFLooD.
The Mad Waters in the West Still Rush
ing Furiously


ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The break in the
Chicago and Alton track has flooded near
ly all the eastern part of Venice and
forced many families to vacate their
houses and seek safety on the higher
ground. The loss to crops alone is over
S2OO,0O0. AT East Cafondelet the situa-
ton is deplOrable. Three-fOurths of the
families are quartered in three school
houses and few residences ON the high
ground. Most of the people are terribly
destitute.
From that point to the Bluffs, four miles.
and southwark ten miles, the country is
submerged and desolate. All the wheat
and potatoes are ruined and farmers have
lost almost tlfeir all
Advices from different points on the
Missouri river state that nearly all the
bottom lands along the river are inun-
dated and that hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of crops have been totally
destroyed, and thousands of acres of
splendid farms laid waste.
Reports of the same kind come from
places on the Mississippi river between
mere and Cairo. The river rose three
inches here yesterday.
ALTON, ILL, June 25.-The magnitude
OF the disaster from the floods below this
city is just beginning to be disclosed
thousands of families between Louisiana
and Or alton are homeless and fleeing be-
fore the floods. Stock TO the number of
5000 head have already been drowned in
the American bottoms. Telegraphic
communication is seriously interrupted.
The Suy Carte bottoms are ruined for
this year.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 25.-The river
at O'Clock tonight marked % feet
inches on the Signal service gauge, and
was rising steadily. 1t has risen six inches
since last night. The inhabitants of
West Kansas City are preparing to leave,
one or two families having changed their
quarters to-day. There is much appre-
hensiOn regarding ice houses and other
property along the river in that vicinity.
The water is now considerably higher
th IN at any time since 1881.
LONDON, June 25.-Seventy persons
have been lost in the flood in Silesia.
