The' exercises were concluded by a public exami-( nation of the scholars in iheir different stu-' dies, before n large company of people, among whom were a number of our prominent white citizens who had been specially invited on j account, of their known interest in the cause f of educatioji. The exercises arc reported to! have been of the most satisfactory nature, and alike creditable to the scholars and their teachers. The school Ims been taught by Mr. Isaac H. W'lilte, principal, assisted bv MKsi Cynthia WiUliams, and Miss Mahala llender- j son, all colored. Asfar as we have heard, they | have given entire satisfaction to (lie pupils as well as to the school authorities. The col-1 orcd people of the village deserve ureat credit I for their interest In education, which is evln- | ced by the fact of the great numbers constant- j ly In attendance, and the liberality of their i parents in contributing money to keep the! school open during the whole scholastic year of forty weeks, which Is more than some of j our white coin m u n 111 cm are willing to do. Although nearly every farmer is behind with the big crops which he lias-undertaken, j crowds of their mules, wagonsand field hands' llll oor streets every Saturday; they come | early and loaf about during the wl^oie of the i day. ;'fhc fact that tliis custom (if lbs-] InK one day every week, while they give from j twenty-Ave to fifty per cent above the cash J price for the coi n and oats which they should raise on their own places, Is proof clear a* bo- j ly writ, that any farmer who will attend to bis ; business and work with energy, cannot fail to get rich. A majority of tiie farmers who j throng the village lor supplies could raise; their own corn at a le.*s expense than is incur i red In the haulincof it home, even if theiner-1 chants charged thein nothing at all for the grain. No mau with low-lands should buy i corn. The target practice and prize drill of the Kitles lakes place to-moirow. The shoot-! Ing will beat the Blue Hill.
