I The Press and Banner, Wednesday. June 27,71877. The Wiltiamston Female College Commencement. Last Wednpsdevmorning, ineompanj with I'vcv. K. >.'. Paatt, Rev. J. W \Vightman and It. 11. Hemphill, Ksq. we boarded the train for Williamston and reached tliat place in the afternoon at the usual hour for the arrival of tin train. At Hodges Depot we found quite at additional number of ladies and gentlemen on the train hound for the sann place, and among them were Col. F. A. Conner, Kev. W. A. Clark, Mr. William I<;. Koss, .Mr. James 11. Watson. .Mr. am Mrs. Smart, Miss Julia /.filler, Mis? Emma Moore, Miss Cobb, Miss Elk McKeller, Miss l.eaufort DeYore. Mis> Anna Dell, Miss Ella Watson, Miss Fannie Merriman, Miss llattie Clark, Miss Emma Hutchison, and a host of others. It was a pleasure to be at the" interesting exercises of the Commencement of this flourishing Female College, where so many excellent gent lemen and charming young ladies from various parts of the*State, by their presence ami smiles, added to the happiness of tins brilliant oceaaion. Among the clergy who were present, we were pleased to meet the Hev. Messrs. Clark, Finger, Attaway, Oliver, Weber, Workman, Itice, Smith, Smart, Wightman. Pratt, ami Duncan. We cannot speak in lengthened detail oi the College and its closing exercises. It is sufficient to say that the late Commencement occasion was in keeping with the average occasion of the kind, which is saying much; for t lie College, though its hi>!orv is a short one has an enviable reputation for the marked success of its public demonstrations. While this is strictly true, it is well known and acknowledged that t he chief claim of the institution lor the patronage and favor of the public is I in the unusual thorough and accurate work required ami evinced in the duly routine of school life. Perhaps there is no school of its aize which shows as small a class of annual graduates. This is owing to the high demands of proficiency on the part of those who seek the reward and honor of graduation. Mr. Lander was kind enough to mention several of the peculiar features of his enterprise, and certainly uo one can be in his society without being convinced at oitt'O of his enthusiasm in his profession and of iiis eminent fitness for its pursuit. Among the features which are new to us, at least, is the Kindergarten which is under the efficient management and control of Miss Wagner, of Charleston. We attended an exposition of tins department mul came away with the distinct conviction that for the purposes of primary education tho merits of this system can scarcely be overestimated. It* combines amusement with useful instruction in pleasing variety. The children certainly di^l their part very beautifully an l gave good evideuce of systematic and thorough drilling. The eloquent sermon of Rev. A. Coke Smith, of trrcenville, on Wednesday night, the finished address of Hon. S. Dibble, of Orangeburg, on Thursday morning, and the elegant and humored address of Professor W. W. Duncan, of Wo I ford College, on Thursday night, were each of very pronounced merit and all called for * universal satisfaction and applause. Wo take leave of this subject with the expression of hearty approval of everything we saw and we have no hesitation in commending tho Williamston Female College as in every way worthy of the patronage and favor of the public*. It is due to say that very delightful in strumental and v*>cal music was turnisned by the music department of the instituion, {is a relief amid the more solid ami .substancial part of tlie programme of this entertainment. Tho Abbeville pupils at this College during the session just closed are : Miss Janie Anderson, Miss Leila Bell, Miss Onie Cliulcscalcs, Miss Mamie Franks, Miss Annie Uenulon, Miss Hottie Lake, Miss ilattiel.atimcr, Miss Mattie Lipscomb, Miss Macie Me<?hoe, Miss Allio Power. Miss Mamie Watson, Miss Eulu Young. The graduating class consisted of: Miss Janie Anderson, Ninety-Six; Miss Mary lirown, Williainston; Miss Saliie T.rown, Willinniston; Miss llcbtrkah i>.)Uthit, I*c?n:llet??u; Miss Nina lmkes, George's; Miss Sue Kirkland, Spartanburg; Miss Mamie l'elham, Sumter. One hundred and six pupils have been in attendance this session, of whom fiftyfi-rlit li?i\w iiccn members of tlie colletre fnnlly, making this considerably more prosperous than any previous session of the institution. Mr Lander is an unassuming gentleman of rare merits as a teacher, and seems to he thoroughly in earnest in the rood work which ho is accomplishing. Jle has the perfect respect and confidence of his pupils, who seemed much all'ected qu taking leave of him. The GriT.iiri/lc 1)<iih/ JVVjcs was represented by Col. llobert McKay, who has written enough for his paper, to make a book; The 2Vc/rfiovy IhuvM had ati excellent reporter in the person of l?r. W.

One night last week the loving spouse of .Tosh Patterson was aroused from the sweetest slumbers by a shriek from Joshua's favorite son, "and upon going to the bed was astohisned to liixl that the father's hope and the mother's joy had been bitten on the big toe bv a highland moccasin, which was still lying in bed beside the idolized child of the aforesaid Joshua. The mother had not even a broomstick with which to kill the viper, and as the next best means of disposing of the unwelcome truest, she put some water in tho kettle on the lire, with which she thought to seald the intruder to death. Very much to her surprise, however, when the scalding process commenced, tho snake unceremoniously tt>ok his departure. At tips time Josh, who had been away from home, put in an appearance, and the whole neighborhood soon became alarmed at tho Other's great lamentation. When the exercises of tiie A. M. E. church were suspended, a largo number of sympathizing colored women, perhaps less than two hundred and fifty in number, rushed to the rescue of the child, and each one made her favorite prescription in such cases. As soon as Dr. Marshall arrived .Joshua and 1 ?is distressed wife immediately submitted each prescription in turn, and asked his advice as to the best. They were all so good tliat the Doctor was unable to decide which was best, and recommended that all should be put into one grand poultice and applied to the; bitten limb. At last accounts the child was still alive, but fears are entertained as to the safety of the snake. Joshua's dwelling house, on Major Small's lot, sots close to the ground, and it is-supposed that there about seven hundred other snakes under the floor, a* seven have already !>een killed. Living on a floor so close to the ground is danserous. If it isn't stopped some little negro may Jose his valuable lil'e sleeping with snakes. l!cv. Samuel Dunwody. We give in another column a beautiful tribute to one of tiie greatest and besi men the Methodist church ever produced ?the Rev. Samuel Dunwody.

A oaso was argueil in the Probate Court last week, in which a very inter- ( fsting and important legal question was involved. The facts are substancially as follows: Katie Davenporte, petitioned to the Judge of Probate for partition of the real estate of her deceased brother, Willis , I'aldwell. Elizabeth Caldwell the widow uul administratrix of said deceased, made objection to the granting of the prayer of the petitioner. The question raised, was, whether Katie could inherit from her brother, they being children of daves, who had died before emancipa- 1 tion'? General McGowan argued for Katie, that by the constitution of 1SG.S, and lie Act of the General Assembly of 1872, dl children born of negro parents, durng slavery, who lived together as man uul wife, were made legitimate. Mr. Burt, contra, argued that tho parents 1 nust be living at the time of the passage ? >f the Act of 1S72, in order to acknowl- J >dgc their children if they would avail 1 iifinuoivos <>f tli(> Act. Tho decree of I} lie Court was, that Katie could inherit 1 rom her brother, Willis Caldwell, under } lie Constitution and Act referred to.

' .'lie grain, as a general thing, is fine, and s re do not find, as has been said, that it is t, o much better in this section than in j urs. The other crops certainly are more tlvanced.
