Mettm. falltort: I have been called
upon by the citixoos geLjtaliy, of the
Vicinity of the above institution, to prepare
far publication the proceeding! of the
examination, and exhibition of the school,
for the firat session of five months, which
took plaoo on tho second and third ina't,
and also the celebration, on the Fourth,
but I feel incompetent to picture tho
beautiful and imposing array nftbe amiable
teachers and students, during the examination.
On the iirsi day the primary class
waa brought on the stage, and in the in.
(tepidity,ttolf composure, quickness r?f pereeptton,
and the promptness in answering
the questions thai were propounded to them,
they gave specimens of mind, which wheunufficiontly
cultivated "Vill occupy the
highest position in society. The day following
the aophemore class appeared on
tbo stage?the young ladies of a moat
brilliant and beautiful sppoaradoe, the
your"* T - would havo graced and digw
nified the halls of the most celebrated
Colleges. They with there most excellent
^ & teachers tho Hev. K. David and Miss Jane
M. Henry, was a display of literature nerW
hapa without parallel in any country sebviol.
Their operations on the Black Board, were
so expert as to charm the eyes of all
prosent, aud indeed -l-nost all the other
English hranr/.ee were explained with
equal propriety and elegance.
At early candle light, the " Jefferson
Baud" appeared, aud soon the melodious
strains thrilled ?n the hearts of all, and
tnade all mirthful end gay. Very soon
the exhibition began, and about twenty
young mon appeared on the stage, to send
forth their ruighty strains of eloquence.
Some dialogues were spokeo, which was
Jt -- J " -*
iruijr inverting, ana mwo t Lraia tbat de- |
serves tho enooutiumns of all presont.
The exhibition closed with some beautiful
tunes from the young ladies, ami their
Tutoress, all pnseed off with the striotest1
propriety unmolested, with the exception ,
of one drunken man, who was seiiod and |
led away. I am glad to My to you, that
the nafkriocut practice of drunkcueea is
fast disappearing in our part of tho District.
.. We deprecate its practice, and
hope the day is not tar distant when toy
gentleman will blush to be caught in a i
state of intoxication. Messrs. Editor^ in
I' * concluding the oxercua of our exam.uation,
I am constrained to say, thai from '
...... Ow? as. ?a? *
every aspect ?v nil* flams u destined to!
be tho most celebrated place of literature '
Id the diatriot, we have the ineana aud
in the mighty thirst for knowledge and disUnctiob,
We will use thetn.
On the fourth, the eitisee; came pouring
in.frdm all directions, awe'.ling the num- |
ber to a thousand or twelve hundred?to 1
join in celebrating the anivernary of that
memorable day. At about U o'clock, a
procession of the students was formed by
the Marshall of trie day, Cspi, Leonida?
Lowry. They numbered about sereufy-fowr,
in appropriate costume; the girls arrayed in
white,the emblem of virtue aud innocence,
and the boya also in suitable habits, made a

when after ao appropriate prayer, by
the Chaplain, Rev. E. David, Mr. ffa, A. j
Brans, waa introduced, who read the Dee- 1
laration of Iudepcndar.ee in a clear and i
forcible manner. The Orator of the day j
tit. John Jjeo, then delivered a very elegant
oration, concerning which it is unnecessary
to make any oomraents, ae a motion
was made for its publication; but
suffice it to aay Messrs. Editors that it was
delirored in a manner and style that would
have honored the Legislative halls. Mr.
Knight then delivered an address on Kdu
cation, meeting the approbation of the
audienoe, and calling forth repeated applause.'
Mr. James R. Evans also delivered
aa address on Female education, Shis

the ycrucg ladies of the school, who in to
keu of their appreciation presented him
with two gold rings. Messrs. J. 8te#art,
and R. Evans, both delivered very able
and ioteroatitig addresses, slotting the

! Mr. Egbert Miller thon arose and spoke
of the departure of the Indians from tbeir
i native land which was trnly affecting. Two {
I beautiful tunes, "the Indian's Ptrowel!"
and the " Dying Sailor" wero tl-en adi
mir. Jy sung by the students, whr j-. caused
a solemn fooling to pervade the audience.
The table was soon prepared, the Band all
the while entertaining us with fine muaic.
The procession formed again,and msrohed
to the table which waa filled with all the
Ittinnes of the land, with that taste and
order that would have rrraced tha "noblest
wedding feast." The procession was one
of the largest that ever formed in Chester,
