The examination of the several classes oc? cupied ti 16 time, to the complete satisfaction' 3 ot all present, until about the hour of one o'clock:, when a recess was given for one and a 5 half hours, which was spent by the several I -v groups around under the cooling shade of the -ft large and massive oaks, in demolishing the many good things that this part of the colinty I can supply, and few counties can supply more p ur better of the substantials of life. Alter recess the large assembly met again, in the extensive ball of the Institute, which was tastefully dressed in evergreens, to par Ucipate in part second, which was the concert, : and for hours were regaled with a perform ? i. ance ot rich and exquisite music from the pu? pils of the Institute and tho exe'-lient or ches-i - - tra. Some twenty-five well selecte.' and well ar ! ranged pieces were performed ia % masterly manner and listened to with delight. Just be? fore the last piece was performed, Professor N. F. Walker, son of the founder ot this most excellent and humar-? institution, gave notice thal, aa part ot tnt ooard of trustees were present, consisting ot his Excellency the Gbrernor, Comptroller-General Neagle, and State Superintendent of Education Jh>on, he would be glad to hear from them. Each of them responded briefly, after which, the clos? ing piece, "the Village Festival," by the lull I orchestra was performed, and the audience [ dispersed, feeling that ihey were richly re? warded in what tbey bad heard and witnessed Irom tbe pupils, and In the zeal displayed by their Instructora to make all welcome, aud to sbow that the blind could be made te see by feeling, and the deaf and dumb to talk and hear by seeing. The wonderful proficiency ol the pupils certainly deserves a hearty "well .lone" to their patient and' earnest as well a I . zealous and competent instructors. MARSH.

Jacobs and others, of whom the said Solomons and Jacobs were members of the executive committee, owned no stock ot the said company, and were not legally quali? fied to act as directors of said company. XIII.

T club formed quickly and, preceded'by mus marched down King street, where 'they wc met and sal u ted' at the corner of Society stn by the delegation ot the Washington Light 1 iantry Club, twelve In number, who had i cepted the invitation - of the Palnrrettoes a were about to accompany them on the maroc The same Invitation to the Sumter Ritte Cl had been accepted by but two of the membe and these marched along with the Palmel Club. THE PARADE. The Washington's fell In at the rear o? t column, which proceeded through . Has Meeting, Market and East Bay streets, to t Pilot Boy at Accommodation wharf. T riflemen then embarked and waited a few a menta until seven o'clock, for a ohance stre gier. ; While waiting, tbe.PhonlxBand, wi eleven pieces, got together and,..begau to d course acceptable music. The baud has coi out in a new uniform of black felt hats, bl coats trimmed with blue velvet,, and edg with yellow oord and white pants, and flaying hos Improved as much as Its costun Its programme of brilliant'.quickstep dr? out many a sailor upon the wharf, opposii and a chorus of laughter echoed from tl steamer as one bareheaded and humpbacked nf shore-sleeved blouse, an apolog?tica! pair pants and bare feet, began to caper Dlmbly tho inspiring strains of the music! Loud a planse followed each saltatory feat, and the n couth figure was yet revolving like a spin nh Dervish upon the poop of his vessel, as t enthusiastic audience glided out of the doi and down the river upon their swift steamer TUB TRIP Ur THE ASULKT was most enjoyable. A floe breeze upon tl water made the decks of the steamer ad lightful resting place alter tho march, ai every bend of the bold river brought new at varied scenes lo view, which afforded uncee lng subjects tor comment and admirailo The steamer moved rapidly along with 1 goodly company at ease, thelrjests and laug ter being occasionally Interrupted by tl sharp crack of a rifle as the sanguine mark men broke rudely upon the meditations some Indolent "poor Job" or alligator upc the muddy banks ot ihe river. At th? fir alarm scores of riflemen seized their shootli Iron's, and formed continuous lines along boi sides of the steamer. Cartridges were rammi down, and woe betide, the unlucky " 'gate wu lc ti-dared to show' the smallest particle a snout above ihe water.- At a sharp ben of the river, however, a veritable young 'gat? was discovered snoozing in the sun upon tl hard beach. The boat was almost npon tl saurian, when a shout upon the larboard to that a 'gator was at hand, and the s ta rb oat line of rifles rushed over to the attack. Tl small steamer careened over under the unu ual rush, and a score of lilies were point, downwards, aod a score of minnie bulle went peppering the beach In and around tl game. The enemy was thrown into COB! sion at once, and the newly-awakened 'gan instead of rushing into the water, run blind high and dry on the beach. A STEADY FIRE was kept up at him uniil the boat bad left bl frr behind, when the animal was seen to crai slowly down to the water and swim off. I was pronounced dead, however, and no lei than eighteen marksmen claimed the hom and scored their 'gator. As the river narrow ed, however, dozens of the ugly animals coul be seen, every one of which were greete with a shower of minnie balls. This was kej up until the sieamer arrived at Middleto Place. The'gatorsmust hive suffered terribly and their fossilized 'bones will form a valuabl deposit for phosphate hunting generations ii ages to come. After some difficulty in bring lng the steamer up to. the wharf, on accoun ot the very low tide, the riflemen effected i landing and, crossing the small rice fields entered the grounds of .Middleton Place, es oorted by the hospitable proprietor himself Here the marooners refreshed themselve awhile among the shady walks, and rested be neath the primeval oaks adorning the rive: banks. One ol the moss-covered monarchs with a rustic bench around his base, was i magnificent, venerable old tree one hundrec and seventy-lour years ago, when the place was first settled by the original owner. Th? buildings were all burned daring the war and the massive wal's alone re.maln.standing but the splendid* lawns, regularly laid on grounds, the gardens sloping 1n terraces fron the residence down to the river bank coull not be removed or destroyed, apd yet re m ali a source of pleasure to numerous excur sionista. i..H vidi ? .?,-..
