This has been a week long to be remembered by the young and old of the town and county of Lexington. ^ We have put the young before the old this time because it is essentially the young people's joyoue occasion and marks an epoch in their lives that in after years, when the frost of winter has tinged the hair and the " storms of life have furrowed the ^ cheeks they can brush away the cob webs from memory and look back to this with nothing but pleasure and I happiness. The annual commencement of the Palmetto Collegiate Institute, commenced last Sunday by a thoughtful sermon delivered by the Rev. W. H. Greever, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church of Columbia. This eminent ambassador of Christ used & as the foundation of his remarks the ft the words recorded by St. John ia k the ix:4 "I must work the works of : him that sent me, while it is day; I the night cometb, when no man cau k work." This sermon was to have ft been delivered in St. Stephen LuthSft erac church but the capacity of that H building being overtaxed by the imWF. mense crowd the congregation was f dismissed to assemble in Roof's Hall wheio the sermon was delivered be) fore one of the largest aDd most refined audience, perhaps that ever gathered at this place. Monday morning, the primary department?the nursery of the | J church and the recruitmg station or society and the fountain spring of culture, refinement and education, had their exercises. This depart. ment is under the care of Miss Mary < Wingard, who is preeminently qualified by education and inclination to faithfully perform her arduous I and trying duties of instilling into B and training th e micas of these rosebuds of premise to become useful ? and ornamental members of society. | Miss Wingard has nobly performed | her mission and the public appre- I SB ciates her services and her reward, j which is above the value of precious i stones, is the consciousness of a duty nobly performed.

D Seay, the principal of the school, has worked hard both in and out of season to build up a first class school. Nothing has thwarted his purpose. No ob3ticle has turned him aside, having his eye fixed upon ? i 1M the mart above, ne Das steaciuy i'epped forward and upward, never looking backward to the accomplishments of the past but with heart and energy^ centered upon the glorious achievements before him, he has pressed forward toward them with a cheerful heart and bright countej nance and while today Lexington enjoys, under his management, a school giving to its people unexcelled eduj cational facilities. j The musical department is fortunately under the direction of Mrs. j Fanoie Roof, a lady of remarkable ! gifts and the work she has wrought in the training of the young to culti; vate the higher and nobler elements I in character has been wonderful and t ie fruit3 cf labor are seen and ie t by not only her immediate community but the county at large. As a musician 6he ranks among the most prominent in the State, and being devoted and wedded to the muses, she combines with that love, the happy faculty of being able to impart her skill and genius to those whom oho inafrncta nr> that thev catch the iaspirtion of their teacher and are carried on to proficiency. Lexington is indeed fortunate in owning h^r as a child and the school is doubly blessed in having her as an instructor. The physical culture and elocution department is in charge of Mrs. Ecnma Graichen, a lady of refinement and culture. She has impressed her individuality upon our community as no other person perhaps has ever done. The pupils under her go out I from the institute to mingle with the ! world with characters built up for! stered and nurtured under her ; Christian training. Mrs. Graichen j is in lov? with her work, she believes I in training the moral, the intellectual | and the physical characteristic of her | scholars. Those under her tutulage | are noted for their refinement, their | culture and accomplishment. Mr. McG. SimDkins being, nresent w * was called upon to deliver the diplomas to the graduating class and responded in a happy impromtu address and as he will be heard latter od, we leave him in the hands of our people. Lexington people should feel proud of their institute. They should rally to its support more now than they have ever done before. They should Ladies' Dress Goods and Furnishings.

Harman, of Lexington, were drowned yesterday ia the bay, near ITort Sumter. They bad gone out in a email boat with a party of friends for a 6ail and the boat was accidentally capsized. The bodies were recovered soon after the accident had occurred, and though every iffort known to science was made to resuscitate the unfortunate men, but lite had entirely departed and they could not be brougnt back to consciousness. The bodies of the dead men were brought to Charleston ou the 8 45 boat from Mount Pleasant and were prepared for shipment to Dillion and Lexington today. It seems that a Mr. Sullivan had agreed to take a party of six, among whom was Mr. J. H Pound, of the Krounaofl QPr?t.ir)n fr:r a sail i rmnH the harbor, and that up to the time of the accident the cruise had been etjjyabls. It seems that the hat of a member of the party blew overboard and that either the owner of the hat or one of hie friends on board reached over the side of the little craft for the purpose of recovering the lost hat. It is supposed that this caused the boat to overbalance, for it at once turned over, throwing all of the seven occupants into the water. The accident occurred in sight of the life-saving station on Sullivan's Island. The life-saviDg crew made all haste to get to the spot where the men were struggling iu the water. They succeeded in doing this, though not in time to save the lives of Mr. Cirmicbael and Mr. Harman. As soon as the men had been picked up and brought to the land they were at once taken in charge by the surgeon and hospital corps stationed on the Island. They were tikeD to tbe post hospital and given tie very best aid and attention and everything was done that could be thought of by those in charge. The life-saving crew and those in charge. The lifesaving crew and those who aided them in getting to the drowning men in the water are deserving of high praise for the prompt arid efficient manner in which they went to tbe rescue of the men in distress, and had it not been fcr their aid it is certain that other members of the party would have been drowned. It was a close shave for those who were rescued. Soon after the accident occurred and the news became generally known in the city a telephone message was sent to tbe J. M Conneiley undertaking establishment, asking that they send over their ambulance to bring back the bodies of the dead. This call met with a prompt response and the vehicle was sent over. The bodies were brought back on the boat from Mount Pleasant at 3 45 o'clock, a -J when ttie boat arrived at the wharf there were present tnere a great many Confed- , erate Veterans who had heard that I the bodies of the two drowned comrades were to arrive at that time. None of the others who were in - * - 1 ; _ I the accident were sericuriy injireu. Mr. William Dieon, one of the visitors, who was in the boat when it capsized, came to the city and was sent to the City Hospital, where he was doing well last night at a late hour. Mr. Herman was a member of a large and influential family of that name. He was a brave soldier, a useful citizen, a good, honest, upright and industrious man. At the beginning of hostilities between the States he at once volunteered in Co.
