A Committee of half a dozen gentlemen, citizens of Walhalla, was in attendance, having been appoint ed by the President to witness the examination. This Committee will make a report to the Board of Trus tees, when that Body meets next week. The Examination was in the main a very satisfactory one to tha patrons of the Institution in this community, showing that the Pro fessors bare not boon idle daring the Session, and that the students have for the most part made a laud able degree of progress tn their studies in all the departments. Bnt we prefer to let others speak of oor work, as we do not wish too evidently tp blow tho horn of our own praise. We shall therefore take pleasure iw laying before oor readers the report ef the Committee at aa early day. We may say, how ever, and U is gratifying to os to state the feet, that more persons were in attendance on the Examina tion than last year, and the people of our town and section seem to take more interest in the Institution.
