Common cement Day at Jefferson Col
lege.

WAsHINGToN, Miss, june u, 1859.
Few Passing events are more pleasant or
deserve more attention than the closing
exercises of the various institutions OF
learning of the State. There are gathered
the old. the middle aged, and the beautl-
ful, to witness the progress, and TO encour-
age the aspirations of the youth OF the
land as they prepare for the great duties
of life
Such an occasion was presented to all
on the 10th of June, when the trustees,
patrons and friends of that old institution
of learning, Jefferson College, assembled
in the Baptist church in the historic old
town of Washington to hear the animated
contests for two medals offered Tor supe-
rior eIocution, the recitation OF essays, the
awarding Of medals and certificates OF pro.
iciency and distinguished scholarship, and
most worthy address by Hon. /. Mar
shall Miller, of Vicksburg.
After an eloquent prayer by Rev. -. '.
Penn. the contest for the second Eprize for
defamation was warmly sustained and re-
suited in victoEEF Tor Wallace Radcliffe,
with honorat Jsre mention OF David Stanton
as secc5nJi in favor. Coming between this
ARID the next contest, was an original essay,
4 delivered in a manly and deliberate style,
L ~
Then came the contest for the first prize,
awarded to the best elocutionist in the
higher classes, and after arousing the in
terest of the large audience, and causing
\ LENGTHY consultation between the COM
mitteemen. the handsome gold medal was
presented to J. B. Rowan, of Mississippi,
| with honorable mention OF }. u. hlloourne,
of Louisiana.
Then President Raymond, after explain
| ing the method of grading, and that a DIS
tinction required maximum OF 20 out OF
| 100, proceeded to present several hand
| some certificates of distinction and OF pro-
| ficiency This grade of 90 must be com
| bined mark OF the daily Rotations and
| rigid written examination. Mr.. Theodore
| Crothers having made the highest average
\ in the classes allowed to compete, was
| awarded a splendid gold medal for the
highest scholarship and best department.
| This was followed by a well written
| essay by Harry G.. B. Warheld, and the
| sound, practical address of Mr.. Miller, who,
with no flourish of trumpets, pointed the
| Young men to the paths of a business lite,
urging thorough preparation for some par
| ticular calling.
Then amidst the strains OF music the
| audience adjourned to the College build
| ings to enjoy a sumptuous repast given by
| the trustees Of this well endowed Instltu-
| ton. 1t was generally remarked how well
| the boys behaved, aud that Jefferson Col
lege within its present purposes as High
| School for young men, is an institution
unsurpassed for thoroughness OF instruc-
ton, successful discipline and high moral
| influence.
