The President has designated CoL J.

the Army, to act .as Surgeon' General
nntU he makes an appointment to fill the
vacancy caused by the retirement of I
Gen. Murray. There has been a
heated contest for this coveted prize

has been much perplexed as to what
On to take. Col. Baxter, who has
been given the temporary appointment,!
is ' next in line and entitled by right oil
promotion to the place, but he is a Re?
publican and so is at a disadvantage.
He has a strong influence, however, even
among Democrats, and may possibly be
^^Eortunate applicant. The Secretary
of War, Eudicjtt, and Baxter are warm
personal friends,' and the Secretary is
doing his best to secure the/appointment I
ibr his old friend. The;action of the
President in temporarily appointing
is an enigma/but gives encour

vacancy already exists,and if Baxter is

appointment?

The Verdict of- the Jury In the Anarchist
"? ' -?? : Trial, v
Our readers Will remember that a
month or two ago there was a great riot
in Chicago, at which time a number of
persons were trilled and seriously wound?
ed. The trouble was caused by Anar
chiata, a number of whom were arrested
I immediately after tho riot. Their trial
[has just ended, and seven of them arc to
I be hanged. The following is an account
[ of the ending of the trial: * y. ?
Chicago, August 39.-~The Court was
called to order at 9,54. The prisoners
I could be seen by very few in the Court?
room. They presented about their usual
[ appearance, though! Spies and.' Fischer
looked deathly pale. The jury arrived at
9.55. There was an impressive. silence
I as they filed in. When, the jury appear?
ed Judge Gary enjoined absolute silence.
[There was a whispered consultation
between the Judge and clerk, when the
verdict was read as follows: We, the
jwy, find the defendants, August Spies,
Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Albert
J R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George
Engel and Louis Lingg, guilty of murder
as charged in the indictment, and fix the
penalty at death. We find'the defend?
ant, Oscar W. Neebe, guilty of murder
hin .'the manner and form as charged in
the indictment, and fix the penalty at
imprisonment in the penitentiary for
fifteen years.
Capt Slack asked that tbe jury be
polled, and tho jurymen answered with ;
firm voices. Capt. Black said he would
desire to make a motion for a new trial.
State's Attorney Grinnell said it would
I be impossible to dispose of the motion
during the present term, but by agree-'
I meut the motion could be argued at- the
I September term. This was agreed to by
I the defence. The Court let the motion;
? be entered and continued until the next1
term, and the defendants were- taken
[ It is understood that the authorities
now contemplate the immediate arrest of
all persons even indirectly connected with
the Hay market tragedy for conspiracy,
and that in this knowledge many of the
active leaders, hearing the outcome of
(the verdict^ are preparing to leave the
Parsons and her female compan?
ion, after leaving the Courtroom, returned
?ha seated themselves by Gen. W. H.
Parsons, of Texas, a brother of one of
the condemned.' The trio discussed the
i. outcome among themselves. The prison
j era were conveyed through the covered
iron way which leads from the Court?
room to tbe jail and were at once placed
in the ' cage," a small compartment near
the entrance to the jail, which is heavily
barred and very completely covered with 1
a thick wire netting. They were joined
I there shortly by their attorneys, who
j extended to them what encouragement
was in their power in regard to the hope
[of reliefTon appeal. Spies had divested I
himself of his coat and seemed to be the
moat thoroughly composed of the eight.
[ He declined to converse with anyone out j
I his attorneys, but it is stated that he had
a premonition that his fate was sealed.,
Engel, who has maintained a very quite
air throughout the trial, appeared to be
the moat thoroughly depreajed qua of the
lot Jfe.safrisnabench with his hands
j clenched in front of him, looking at the
floor. He did not even look up to
respond to a remark from one of his
j companions. Lingg, the young bomb
maker, walked about the cage somewhat
j nervously and would not respond to a
salutation by a newspaper reporter. He
i had lost his smile, and he displayed the
[ effect of the excitement of the ordeal of
I the morning by complete loss of color.
[Parsons, who had given himself np for
I trial, looked disconcerted and broken
[ down, but joined at intervals in questions
[ directed to the attorneys. Fischer, who
had looked very badly during the trial,
having an almost absolutely colorless
face, had in a measure recovered himself
[ and smoked a cigar as he listened to the
interchange of views between the counsel
I and Spies. Fielden, the Englishman, sat
on a box at the side of Engel and offered
very little ? comment during the talk.
{Schwab stood near Spies taking in tbe
conversation, but offered no remark.
(Neebe, who was. given fifteen years in
I the penitentiary, was thoroughly compos?
ed and appeared as though he was grate?
ful that ne escaped tbe death. None of
I the friends or relatives of the prisoner
j bad appeared at the jail up to noon.
I After the attorneys had departed the
I prisoners were taken from their former
I cells and placed in cell? on whu in known
as "murderers' row."
The jury, after haviug i&cuived their
pay, were driven away in carriage* to
escape the lingering crowds outfrid? the
jail. Mr. Zeisler, of counsel fur the
defence, said that he believed that the
verdict wax against Anarchy, and not
j against the. anarchist on trial. He
thought the verdict was a great ?urpriae
to State's Attorney Grinnell himself.
The* people stood in groups on all tbe
I streets leading to tbe Courtroom, and
I eagerly purchased various edit ion*, jof
papers, which followed each other rapid
During. the reading of>be verdict the
prisoners were complete hiddeu from
j the; view of every one fv tbe Courtroom,
j the cordon of police completely surround?
ing them, and whatever immediate effect
I tbe reading of the verdict had upon them
could not be discerned. The precautions
] of tbe police were apparently directed so
j as to guard against any demonstration by
I the; prisoners or their friends of soy
character whatever.
The motion for a new trial, it is ex?
pected, will be heard early next month,
if it is overruled, Judge Gary will pro
nbnnce sentence and fix the date for the
carrying ont of the death penalty. The
case will then go to the Supreme Court
for review.
It is the generally expressed, view of
the lawyers that the Supreme Court will
not interfere if Judge Gary refuses u new
trial, as the Court, it is contended, ruled
with great liberality toward the defend?
ant's counsel and read to the jury nearly,
?very instruction asked for on behalf of
the defendants.
PR. WOODROW ACQUITTED.
The Verdict of tho Augusta Freauyiory.
Augusta, August 18.?The Presby?
tery of Augusta, in session at Bethany
Church, near Union Point, which has
been engaged for two days in the trial of
Dr. Woodrow for heresy in teaching
evolution, concluded their trial last
night On the final vote 18 voted Wood
row not. guilty to 9 guilty on the first
count of the indictment. On the other
counts the majority in his favor was lar?
ger: . Dr. Adams, conducting the prose?
cution, at once gave notice of appeal to
tbe Synod in Sparta in October. .
Correspondence Augusta Chronicle.
The columns of the Chronicle have
given in. full, the .accounts of the great
trial of Dr. James. Woodrow. This is
the.first formal arraignment of the Doc?
tor in a court of the church, authorized
to try his'case, although his peculiar
teachings have.bsen reviewed and criti
cised in every assemblage of this denom?
ination. He has been cleared of the
charge of heresy, and escapes even the
admonition which was tbe mildest form
of punishment he could have received,
and which, I believe, would, have been,
the penalty , selected by the - prosecution.
The case will be taken, on complaint,
before the Georgia Synod,, which meets
at Sparta in November, and as this body
has been against' Dr.. Woodrow, the ver?
dict of the lower court may be annulled.
Bat annulling a verdict of not guilty
does , not establish a'.verdict of guilty,
and a new trial before the Presoytery
could have but one termination.. So
mach, then, for Dr. Woodrow's ecclesias?
tical character. Three of the four Syn?
ods controlling the Theological Seminary
in Columbia may and probably will vote
?to turn .Dr. Woodrow . out of the faculty
in accordance with the recommendation
of the. General Assembly. . That of
coarse will sever his connection with this
institution. Dr. Woodrow's point was
that he could not afford to resign under
fire, and that as he has been cleared of
teaching error by the court having juris?
diction, he will remain until he is re?
moved by the formal order of the Synod.
-As Dr. Woodrow has two large publi?
cations in Columbia, and as he occupies
the chair of Natural Science in the South
Carolina College, he will remain in Co?
lumbia, st all events.
The features of the trial were full of
interest. The two persons pitted against
each other were prominent men. Dr.
Adams, of Augusta, conducted the. pros?
ecution in a spirit of candor, courage
and high ability.' His argument was
said by Dr. Girardeau to have been tbe
most masterly presentation of that side
of the question that has yet been made.
I saw no evidence of malice or intoler?
ance. It was tbe clean work of a man
who did his duty in the most direct way,
and did it well. It was not an enviable
position?that of1 prosecutor. It was a
Contest with Dr. .Woodrow in his. own
field, among his old friends. No man
knows better than Dr. Woodrow what he
does believe, and no man marshals his
proofs so completely. It is hard to fasten
error or to impute heresy here.
Dr. Woodrow says he believes-the.
body of man was formed by successive
steps through succeeding stages of lower
animal life.
' The objectors ssy he does not give f?ll
credit to God. -
Dr. Woodrow say a he recognizes God
in the whole development from beginning
to end.
? The objectors say God created man
out of dust.
Dr. Woodrow insists that the exact
process of creation is not told in the
standards of the chnrch or in the Bible;
that science is not forbidden to try to
work .ont tbe problem, and that the
church should not set op arbitrary or
illiberal barriers.
The personal character of the accused
had its effect upon the case. Members
of the Presbytery had been associated
'with. Dr.' Woodrow for thirty years.
They refused to believe him a dangerous
man to the church. Others of the
younger ministry had studied ander him
st Oglethorpe University and at Colum?
bia They did not incline to the belief
that his teachings were heretical. All
recognized him to be a pillar of intellec?
tual strength in the Presbytery. It was
not easy to secure-a verdict of guilty
against this sort of man.
Dr. Woodrow's handling Of witnesses
was wonderful. He has a trained and
subtle faculty. His mind is alert, and
his output this time was finer in thread?
ing evidence from the stand than in
making hie appeal to the court. He is
a skilled debater. The examination of
Dr. Girardeau by Dr. Woodrow was tho
keenest contest of the trial. It was a
clash of flint and steel, edge-cutting and
spark-throwing. It was quiet and in?
tense. Both men s-e masters of contro?
versial forces.
Dr. Adams proved the better advocate;
Dr. Woodrow the more adroit attorney.
One is impulsive and eloquent; the other
wary ana logical. Dr. Adams is full
and florid, and his eyes shine with fire
and nervous 'force. Dr. Woodrow is
quiet and collected. He is precision
itself. His face is pale, his eyes clear
and passionless, and his demeanor indi?
cates cool determination.
Both men, I believe, were born abroad
and are of Scotch extraction. This,
meeting might h&veju^^is^-^rDTTrray
.of-Caledoniair^cTnmies. Yon might
almost Bee Bruce and Baliol personified
there.
I was glad to note the exchange of
friendly courtesies in the train this after?
noon. Tbe personal relations are not
disturbed. I think Dr. Adams has sus?
tained his reputation and made friends
even of his opponents. Dr. Woodrow
has of course gained all the official ad?
vantage of the trial and proven his
strength in his home Presbytery.
E&sley's Bright Hopes.
We learn anon good authority that it is
the purpose of the Columbia and New
berry railroad to extend their line to
Easley. The reason for this is to get the
benefits of competitive freight rates from
the Richmond and Danville and tbe
Cumberland Gap Railroad, when that
great line 1b built, which we feel assured
will be in tbe near future; but should
this latter enterprise fail then the Col um ?
bin and Newberry will take up the line
via Easts toe Gap and pass through to
the west But the building of both of
these roads in the course of a few years,
we look upon as a certainty, and then
with the extension of the Savannah
Valley Railroad to this place, Easley and
Pickens County will start on a b< om
never before witnessed by any other sec
tion of this State.?Easley Messenger.
Beat His Wife to Death.
Pbospebity, AugUH; 19.?A brutal
murder was committed about seven miles
from here yesterday morning. Robert
Harmon, a negro living on Mr. Ben.

wife and beat her to death. Her neck
warf broken and her body beuten to a

? The efficacy of oil in stilling the
waves during an ocean gale has recently
received a fresh demonstration. Capt.
Trant, of the steamer Venetian, which
towed the disabled steamer Werra into
port, is reported by the Maritime Register
to have made a most successful experi?
ment with oil. While heavy seaB were
constantly breaking over tbe Warra in
the gale of AugUBt 8, Capt Trant caused
an old bag to be hung from each side of
the Vcnetion and towed some distance
astern, with the instant effect of smooth?

The Catting Case.
?El Paso, texas, August 12.?By a
special dispatch to the El Paso Times it
has just been learned that yesterday tho
second chamber of the Supreme Tribunal
of this State took up the case of A. K.
Cutting, and after reviewing the entire
evidence argument began. This did not
last long. Attorneys pro and con. had
previously come to an agreement that the
"two months' imprisonment already suff?
ered by Cutting would be considered a
complete purgation of h:s crime. This
makes it certain beyond a doubt that the
sentence which follows shortly will con?
form to this agreement among the attor?
neys. The case was heard with closed
doors. The Court holds that both Judge
Castenador aud J udgeZubia wero exactly
right in trying and sentencing Cutting,
but under tbe circumstances thinks he
has now by two months' confinement,
suffered enough, and they will order hie
release, to take effect probably by Tues?
day or Wednesday of next week. The
$600 fine is also to be remitted.
The Court expressly reaffirms all that
has been said in favor of the right-of
Mexico to try an offence committed in
the United States. Therefore the status
of the case as an international question
is not, and will not be in the least altered
by the release of Cutting. It will come
up again directly on a question of indem?
nity.' Consul Brigbam says he did not
Bee bow the release of Cutting at this
stage would change anything but the
personal comfort of Mr. Cutting. It was
not so much a question of tbe personal
liberty of Mr. Cutting as a broad princi?
ple at stake .between tho two Govern?
ments, and, as he understood it, the
Court had expressly affirmed the validity
of the law which Secretary Bayaid has
.rightly said that tbe United States could
never permit to be in forced. It was like?
ly that the point would come up again
on a question of indem uityi
Denver, August 23.?A dispatch
from El Paso says: At 11.30 this morn?
ing Cutting was taken onoe more before
Judge Castenada's Court, when the
official minutes of the Chihuahua Su?
preme Coujrt, which had arrived this
morning, were read to him, which re?
cited the decree releasing him from fur?
ther custody.
The decision of the Court is based
entirely upon the fact that Medina, the
offended party, had waived his right to a
civil suit for damages, tbe Court holding
. that this ended the proceedings of the
State. -When released by the Court
Cutting replied: "As long as I am not
further detained a.prisoner I accept lib
erty, and I request that a copy of the
Supreme. Court be given me for my
future use."
This the Court consented- to do in
Spanish. Judge Castenadas sent a copy
of the decree to Jefe Politic, who sent
back word that he would give Cutting
bin liberty accompanied with the with?
drawal of the charge.
To a reporter Cutting said: "Well, I
can't understand what all this has to do
with my card in the El Paso Herald, for
which I was solely arrested, for lour
weeks incarcerated and was being tried
at the time my Government made the
demand for my immediate release."
It is said on the other side of tbe river
that the Mexican Constitution, prohibit?
ing the residence of agitators and other
dangerous characters in the Republic,
will be enforced against Cutting.
The Abbeville Democracy.
Abbeville, August 23.?The returns
from our Primary Election, held last Sat?
urday, were reported to the Convention
to day. Gen. R. R. Hemphill received
the nomination for the State Senate with
out opposition, aud the following gentle?
men were nominated for the House of
Representatives in tbe order named:
Rev. J. N. Young, Capt. R. J. Robert?
son, Capt. W. E. Barraore and Hon. W.
H. Parker.' Tbe fifth place on the ticket
will have to be filled and another Prima?
ry is ordered for Saturday, the 4th of
September. Tbe two candidates referred
back to the Primarv to be voted on for
the fifth place are Capt. W. D. Mars and
Dr. G. H. Waddell, both of them re?
maining so even that it will be difficult
tossy which will be the lucky man.
Capt. Ed. Cowan defeated Geo. C.
Hodges for tbe office of School Commis?
sioner by 224 majority. This race was
very spirited. Only two men were nom?
inated for County Commissioner, Capt.
Joel W. Liles and Capt. G. M. Mattison.
The third place will be contested for in
the next Primary 'by Capt. J. N. Xing
and Capt. W. D. Mann. There was no
election for Auditor, Capt. Parks and A.
W. Jones both remaining pretty even,
Parks receiving 1,210 and- Jones 1,171.
The vote was pretty full,, being 2,701.
Of course the election returns did not
tally with the expectations of a good
many people, but the nominees are all
good meu.?-Dispatch to News and Courier.
Secretary Bayard will Retire.
Washington, August 18.?There
seems but little doubt that when tbe
Mexican troubles are settled Secretary
Bayard will retire from the Cabinet.
This statement 1b made upon reliable
authority coming from a close and near
friend of the Secretary. He would do
so now were it not for the unfavorable
comment it would create. To do so
now his actions would, he knows, be
misconstrued and attributed to the un
Eleasaut feature- of' the Mexican em
roglio. Much, of course, will depend
on the manner in which a settlement of
the affair is made. If Mr. Bayard can
sustain himself before the people and
receive their general approval, which he
says he does not have at the present time,
the question of resigning may be.jecon
sidered. ?>
First AsaiBtant^Secretary of State
Porter will in all probability resign as
soon as tbe business of tbe office will ad?
mit of it. The real cause for Mr. Por?
ter's dissatisfaction has grown out of the
unpleasant relationship that has sprung
up between Bryan, Secretary Bayard's
private secretary, and Mr. Porter. It is
claimed, and stated by those in position
to know, that Bryan, who is empowered
to act for tbe Secretary in tbe Secretary's
absence, has grown dictatorial and self
important, oftentimes overriding the will
of Mr. Porter, and that it is quite out of
the question to get on with him. An
effort has been made to have the Secre?
tary provide for Bryan in. some other
capacity, where he will not come in con?
tact with the heads of various depart?
ments, which may be brought about. If
this is done Mr. Porter may remain, but
if not be has signified bis intention to
retire as soon as the important matters
now pending are disposed of.
Mart. Gary's Neglected Grave.
Greenville News.
While visiting friends of Abbeville
county during this month I had occa?
sion to pass the site of tbe old Taberna?
cle church. The structure some years
ago was removed, I am told, to the
flourishing town of Greenwood, and the
spot where the people once gathered to
worship from miles around is now given
up to the care of the birds by day and
the night hawks by night.
This want of care for the sacred spot
is certainly a reflection ou the citizens
of tbe community, but when we know
that the remains of some of tbe county's
best citizens and State's noblest sons rest
there, it is more than a reflection. It
should cause kindred and friends to
bang their, beads in shame for this gross
neglect of tbe remains of departed
friends and relatives, for is it not by the
care of the graves we judge the extent
the memories are cherished by tbe living?
If the memories are cherished at all,
should they not prompt the citizens to
gather at least unco each year and clear
away the underbrush that is fast becom?
ing trees, and the briars that are striving
to take possession of the burial ground ?
I am told, Mr. Editor, that the
remains of one lie there who was always
found in the front rank leading his men;
who freely offered his life on the fields
of Virginia for our beloved State, and
who in 1876 gave his time,- his talent
and his means to redeem our State from
tbe rule of the oppressors, and but for
his wise counsel and determined action
I seriously doubt whether success would
have been'realized in that year. This
soldier-statesman was M. W. Gary. His
gravi.' I um lull] is unmarked save by a
mound of mother earth and a rural rock
marks the place of rest of that head that
so successfully directed the boys in gray
us long as there was hope and planned
the campaign of 76. Should this be so?
I say no! Let the soldiers of his once
famous command and his red shirt fol?
lowers of 76 take the matter in hand
and raise a fund that will raise a spire as
tall as the lonely pine of that vicinity.
Let us pay just honor to the dead hero

A Fearful Storm in Texas.
Victoria, Texas, August 21.?A
disastrous wind storm visited this city
yesterday, leaving destruction and deso?
lation in its track. The wind blew a
hurricane. The East-bound passenger
train, which was standing at the depot
here, was blown over on the platform.
There were eeveral passengers on the
train, but all of them escaped uninjured.
The freight depot and Masonic Hall,
both large buildings, are total wrecks,
while the whole colored section is almost
literally swept away. Two church stee?
ples were blown down and two churches
unroofed. The High School building
and jail were considerably damaged.
Altogether there were about 75 bouses
completely demolished and 118, more or
less, damaged. Few buildings escaped
uninjured. The trees and most of the
shrubbery in the city were blown down
and the streets filled with debris. Busi?
ness was entirely suspended. The loss is
roughly estimated at $100,000. Old citi?
zens say that it was the most terrible
storm known in Victoria. The telegraph
wires are all down, and there is no con?
nection South of bere.
A special to tbe News' from Corpus
Christi says: On Friday morning one of
the heaviest rain storms for years struck
this city. The wind bad commenced
blowing very bard from the southeast
tbe evening before and changed to
northwest between 5 and 6 o'clock in
the morning. It blew with terrific force
for two hours, its velocity being estima
ted at seventy-five, miles an hour. A
large number of houses were moved from
their foundations. A colored church
and the office of-the Arkansas Pass Rail?
way Company were completely destroy?
ed. Large trees were uprooted and
fences and outbuildings were swept
away. It blew very hard yesterday
from the southeast.
The steamer J. C. Harris arrived yes?
terday noon, two days overdue, and re?
ports a terrible storm at Rockport and
Harbor Island. All the improvements
and grading at Harbor Island were
washed away, several boats were capsized
and one large vessel was beached. At
Rockport six houses were blown down
off their foundations. About one hun?
dred employees of the Arkansas Pass
Railway Company were obliged to leave
Harbor Island and seek refuge at Rock
port, as the water was six feet deep on
the island. Seven men are missing, and
and it is supposed they were drowned
during the storm. The amount of dam?
age has not been estimated, but the loss
is heavy.
A Seguin, Texas, special says: Tbe
damage by the storm here is variously
estimated at from $8,000 lo $15,000.
The Record office was destroyed. The
new tower of the Episcopal Church was
blown down and a large number of pub?
lic and private buildings were either
destroyed or badly damaged. Robert
Jefferson, a son of Col. John L. Jefferson,
was killed at Sutherland Springs, and
Garland Smith and Richard Burgess,
son of the Hon. W. H. Burgess, were
badly wounded. They were camping at
the Springs and were injured by falling
trees. A pauper living with John Eng?
land, across the river, died of fright dur?
ing the storm.
The cotton plant has been whipped
into shreds, but many persons believe
that it will take on a new growth and
develop a top crop. The damage has
not yet been estimated, but will be very
heavy.
A Laling, Texas, special says: On
Friday morning about daylight a terrific
rain storm set in which continued until
7 p.m., causing great damage. Houses
were blown from their foundations, trees
were uprooted, fences blown down and
cotton was stripped from the stalk and
blown over the fields. No casualties are
reported.
A Hempstead, Texas, dispatch says
that the storm did great damage to the
cotton crop. In tbe uplands tbe loss to
tbe crop from tbe ravages .of the wind
and rain of Friday will be fully 15 per
cent.
A Human Pincushion.
Yobk, Pa., August 19.?A well-known
York dressmaker has undergone a num?
ber of surgical operations in the last few
days for the removal of pins and needles
from her hands, feet ana other portions
of her body. About thirty of the little
implements have been extracted, and it
is doubtful whether all have yet made
their appearance. The young lady,
who resides on South George Street, was
made quite ill by her strange experience,
but is now able to be about, and no se?
rious consequences are feared. It is said
to have been the habit of tbe young lady
to bold pins aud needles in her mouth
while engaged in her work, and it is sup?
posed some of them slipped down her
throat and made their way through her
flesh to the parts of her body at which
they presented themselves.

1MIE property of the Anderson Educa?

the public generally,' that I will open a
School for yountf men and boys in the City
of Anderson on the 3Qfl.lt Angust next.
Haying spent thirty-seven years of my
lif" exclusively !" "??? business '"f teaching
?Lwenly-eighL in Anderson County and
nine elsewhere?the fruits of my labors are
well known, not only to this people, but
also to many others outside of this County
and in differeni; parts of the State ; and it
is, therefore, wr.h a confident expectation
of a liberal support from my former patrons
and others that I offer my services to the
people of Anderson and surrounding coun?
try,
It is my purpose, by careful and unre?
mitting attention, to tench thoroughly all
the Classical, Mathematical and Scientific
branches usually taught in High Schools
and Academies, and at the same time equal
care and attention will be given to those
engaged in the elementary and less advan?
ced studies, using for both classes of stu?
dents the latest and most approved Text
Books, and adopting such modern methods
of instruction as have received the endorse?
ment of the best educators of our time.
Special attention will bo given to the
preparation of students for College, and to
those who are unable, for lack of time or
means, to take a Collegiate course, my ear?
nest efforts will be given to aid them in
acquiring a solid, well-grounded education
which will fit them to discharge creditably
and efficiently all the practical business du?
ties of life.
I trust I will be excused if 1 refer with a
pardonable pride, as a result of my life's
work as an educator, to the large number
of my former si;udents, of both sexes, who
have won the first prize at several rigid
competitive examinations ; and, also, to the
long list of young men who have achieved
success in the learned professions, and con?
spicuous success in other honorable busi?
ness avocations.
It is not my intention to antagonize any
other institution of learning in our City
there is room for all; but by faithful, con?
scientious work, I hope to merit and re?
ceive a proportionate share of the public
patronage..
