Commencement and Lecture.

Your correspondent cannot allow this
weeks issue of your very valuable and
popular paper to go out among your many
readers without asking to make note of the
closing of the Public School at Linden, on
wednesday afternoon, the 18TH On this
occasion at 8 O'clock, p. NJ, large number
Of patrons and friends of this school met
Miss Dryer and her pupils in the school
room. The occasion was one of peculiar
interest, as Miss d. was to take her leave of
her friends in this neighborhood, hoping to
spend next year at the Normal School in
baltimore. Asa parting present her pupils
presented her with a beautiful silver cup,
tastefnlly lined with gold. The Trustees
asked the Rev. James B. Avirett to make
the presentation, which he did in few
words of courtesy and compliment to both
pupils and teacher. The Rotations, dia-
iogues, &c, were well rendered, the pupils
iacquitting themselves very handsomely
Inc picnic following was held ON the
grounds Of Il. L. Ray, Esq, of the Trustees,
and was indeed very. enjoyable affair, and
everybody seemed bent on making every
body else happy and they succeeded.
That night, at 8 o'clock, in Sligo Public
Hall, the lecture of Col. George l.. yelling
ton, OF Cumberland, accompanied by some
music, instrumental and vocal, from the sis
ters Ford gave much pleasure TO those as
sembled to hear this very bright Mason dis
course in his happiest vein on "What the
World May See and Know of Free Ma
ssonry." This lecture occupying about an
hour and quarter in its delivery was a
very f1ne one, as well in the mode of treat
ing his subject as in the admirable manner
Of its delivery. His research in the his.
torical parts was simply astonishing, while
his audience would break out in rounds of
applause as from time to time the Colonel's
line rhetoric would sweep them away To

Mr.. Garrett Wins.-On Tuesday last
the Maryland Court Of Appeals rendered a
decision in the case Of Esther Stewart VS..
Howard A. Garrett, Of this county. The
points decided were that an admission made
by debtor within three years Of the max.
ing Of the debt to remove the bar Of the
statute Of limitation must be an acknowl,
edgment OF present subsisting indebted
ness. unaccompanied by any qualification
or declaration, which, II true, would exempt
the debtor from moral obligation TO pay.
The defendants were also bound TO prove
that such acknowledgment referred TO the
identical set off filed by the defendants.
Also that the admission of Indebtedness
could be proved by stranger TO the cause.
The plaintiff sued on certain promlssory
notes held against Howard A. Garrett d
Co., and pleaded the statute of limitation
against their setof, an open account 10

cred 10 her. The defendants proved the
admission Of Indebtedness on the store nc.
