Close of the Spring Session-An Inter eating Occasion. The spring session of this school closed on Friday, the 28th ult There were no public exercises but a number of visitors attended the private examination. Stat Superintendent Thompson came from Columbia, by invitation, and was present the whole day. The exercises in the morning began with an examination of the primary department in charge of Miss M. R. Blain. There were during the last month forty-4ve pupils in this department, divided. Into four grades, the lowest grade having begun with the alphabet this year. These pauis gave marked evidence of progress, and bore witness to the zeal, fidelity and ability of their instructress. Miss Blain has had long experience, and has ever given the greatest satisfaction. ''oo much praise cannot be awarded her for her success in organizing an.d instructing this large number of little folks. The primary scholars having I been dismissed, the examinations were continued in the main build ing, being conducted by the princi, pal, Mr. Davis. The grammar department averages about ninety. live pupils, divided into four grades, each grade distinct from the others.j It is in charge of the principal and his assistant, Miss Emily Oboar, who has proven herself admirably fitted for her duties, by culture and a rare devotion to duty. To her was entrusted the study-room of the girls, though both sexes recited together. The fourth grade was first passed in review, and created much in terest by their promptness and enthusi asm. The spelling match between this grade and the third,- or next higher, was much enjoyed. Want of time prevented final victory on either side. Then the third grade was called up on arithmetic and other studies, and briefly reviewed. These pupils did very nicely, also. The second grade thel, followed aid answered correctly the questions put to them at random. They passed a very good examination on arith metic, and could have gone much further had time allowed. But the sun had passed the meridian, and it was found necessary to abridge the exercises, much to the regret of the principal. The first grade was then called, and its work began in the reduction of a large com plex fi action, so arranged as to embrace all the rules and reasons in common divisor, common multiple, common fractions and decimals. It was reduced step by step, the reason for every rule being carefully and succinctly stated. Indeed, the principle upon which the school has been con - ducted is, that there is a reason for everything, t Lat the pupil must give h.,, .'1 0. u Leeem~ed as missng tL . ..is . amuinationi was very satisfactory. It was followed by a review in algebra, in whiica ex Lmples wvere cnosen to show that the pupjils had a conception of mathematic al truths and principles, and were not working by a thumb and rule line. This being concluded, the day was too far spent for anything more than a spelling match between the first and the second grade, which resulted in a tie between two of the young ladies, one of each grade. This was conducted by Comnmiss sioner Richardson. Sup .rin tenden t Thompson then, by request, mn.Lde a ferv very happy remarks to the scholars, congratu lating both them and himself on the success of the system. He brought down the house by saying that lhe had just discovered that he had made the mistake of his life in teachir g only boys. This school wvas a complete success as an experiment in the co-education of the sexes. Hie paid a handsome compliment to Mount Zion in the days of Mr. Hudson, and expressed his belief that a prosperous career was again in store. After a few words from the principal the school was dismissed. A most pleasing episode was the presentation to the principal, by the - pupils of the school, of a handsome lounge, a centre table, a ouspador and a fan. The pre-. Sanltation was made, on behalf of the scholars, by Master WV. 0. Rion, in a very graceful little speech. It was accepted with many thanks by the principal, who remarked that no other gift could have possibly been more acceptable. The long summer afternoons will no longer be unbearable.. Superintendent Thompson, om-. missioner Richardson and thei other visitors expressed themselves much pleased with the examnination. It is to be hoped that the sobn>o .,m llInct of the sulccess of the schecpe H lute to Mr Richardsion, wih> )tishlled the schemo of the gradedl school with a vim, atndt himiuself tdvanced out of hiis private finals 110st of the 111'ney( req jUrTl to ntko the itnprovettlolts inl thc )uildings necessary for tho estab. ishnent of tho school.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa clays, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill. the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. Sole of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have romletimles been senlt to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only no0w that tihe othIer heirs hiave succeeded Jo arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the u ines on hand. Among these is a wvine of the 'intage of 1864, described as a "Swcet Union1 P'ort,' but suggesting thle Imperial Tlokay more than any other Eulropean wine0, and beCing wholly unlike anIy other winle of American growth. Its pukrity', age and mellowness are renmarkable. and both phlysicians and wine fanciers have a special mlterest in it as the oldeCst natkive wino now accessile in ally con siderable qualfntit y.

The above speaks for itself, bult we would add thant tis is tile pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, /ignored nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purp)oses it Is unsurpassed.
