OMMENCEMENT EXERCISES—E X AMIN ATlONS—ORATION OF MB. H. C. GLENN—PUBLIC DEBATE. Mr. J. L. Crenshaw is the sole authorized Agent in the city for receiving subscriptions i guages and literature, is Mr. B. F. Payne, a graduate of The Cherokee High School vu established in Janu ary, 1871. It is situated at Little River, eleven miles northeast of Marietta, and wan founded by Mr. V. M. White, a gentleman known to many citizens of Patau- la.

The; visit us in dreams, And they glide above our memories. Like shadows over streams.'* The above ruminations are supposed to have origi nated in the breast of Thomas Malone. They were addressed to the prudent masses who have departed from 8outhwest Georgia for a healthier atmosphere. Mr. Malone, not having money enough to “go to the rear" with the balance of his friends, and to pay his “Split-bead” was fashionable in this office yes ter day.

Fibst Baitist.—Dr. Hickman will deliver an dress at the First Baptist Church on to morrow ning. t No. j First in order came the examinations. These were ! conducted by Professor Payne, who showed a facility I and fluency, as an examiner, highly creditable to one I so young. His method is eminently practical. He j examined the classes by asking questions on all the I ground gone over during the whole term of seven j months. This is a severe test of scholarship, because it renders preparation upon particular parts of the ! text, to tbe neglect of the remainder, simply useless future—to prevent being disturbed iu his repose—to buy a ticket, and “put it in his hit or cap, where the conductor will see it." James Wilson, who has lost a leg, got drunk on the remaining one, and, as a natural consequence, encum bered the earth with about fivo feet of inauimate Un initiated Mr. Ormond and two ladies, Miss Harper and Mrs. JML Reed. There was a ball at the Kenesaw House in Marietta last night.

This is the wail seat forth by Mr. Gregory, who came down on the State road with his wife, aud invested fif teen cents in Atlanta whisky. Mrs. G., becoming dis gusted with Gregory’s conduct, “gave him the goose,” and left him to “sift” for himself. Mr. Gregory’s foot not being upon his native heath, andhiB name not being McGregory, the Couit auvieed him against too free in dulgence iu Atlanta mineral water, and permitted him to pay ten dollars for being alone, and serenading the natives without first procuring the license. Mr. Reid Hughes, under the influence of donble- rectified green -ear, affects all the hues of the rainbow and hews his way through impediments with the char acteristic energy of the Hughes family. He invited a friend to ride with him in a hack, and when the hack- man demanded his fare, Mr. H. presented a six-bar reled pistol, the muzzle of which seemed as large as the work-house gate. The hack-driver, of course, re tired from public life. The Court put Mr. Hughes in for a war debt of ten dollars, and he was permitted to stroll forth, with his vacant pocket-book, for other adventuies. Fusee Sawyer came up from Hogausville with a bee ligeraut purpose. To establish that he was the top sawyer of that neighborhood, and the particular lieu tenant of Mr. Hogan, he drew a pistolric and fired it at a negro. The latter concluded that Fusee was something above the ordinary charac ter of toy-shop fireworks, and retired from the pyro technic exhibition. The Court extinguished the Fusee with a fine of fifteen dollars, and the fireworks busi ness is suspended until next Christmas. Eugene Boseley, of military renown, threw off the harness of war and proceeded to while away the hours in dalliance with the spiritual muse. He came “round” about sun down, and in a semi-somnolent state, was repeating the word* of Byron: “ How beautifal the water is! To me ’tis wondrous lair— No spot can ever lonely be If water sparkles there; It hath a thousand tongues of mirth, Ot grandeur, or delight, And every heart is gladder made When water greets the sight.” j He was dry. He got upon hia feet, and in a playful | attempt to go through the manual of the “quart tick- gentleman stepped up to him and offered to subscribe J ler,” he lost the step, and relapsed beck into his for- extemporane effort of fourteen minutes, iu which he showed the effects of education upon individuals and nations. The public debate was next in order and excited much attention. Eight young men of the High School discussed the question, “Ought capital punishment to be abolished?” with gi eat credit, when we consider books to read upon the subject. Thus they mere compelled to depend upon their original views for argument. The chairman withheld his decision be cause a majority of the disputants were opposed to hearing it. The writer of this letter v.as introduced to the trustees of the High School as reporter for the At- reality, takes It upon himself that he did not disabuse their minds * J of the impression that he was, tor he thought by assuming the positiin for a short time, he might be able to accomplish some good for your noble paper, soon as it was generally known ( at all. ! Dr. Johnson is the most powerful looking physician i in the city. He says his horse is most remarkable for ! a tough hide and short memory. Look not upon the cucumber when it is wilted, nor j green apples, nor other unwholesome truck, for though pleasant to the eye aud agreeable to the taste, at last it j biteth like the stomach-ache, and stingeth like the * cholera morbus. The streets were thronged yesterday with oaby car- l riages and nurses. The prettiest child ou tbe streets was Campbell Wallace Brumby. ! The fashion for children’s dresses now is to take the i body of a grown person’s dress and cut the sleeves j short enough and sew fringe around the bottom for a i skirt. Tie a red sash around the waist just below, I loose enough to allow them to step four and a quarter inches, give them a medium sizs chaw of wax and start them to Sunday sc hool. The wife of an Atlanta lawyer made a bustle of some important legal documents, and court bad to ad journ until she could go homo and return them in proper shape. The news counters of Phillips k Cr9W offer unusual attractions this morning. Go from seven to ten o’clock. The following little prose poem of domestic life, which has found Its way into an Alabama paper, has a suggestion of nature about it which must awaken responsive thrill in many a manly heart: “Why the devil don’t yon come to see us? We've got twins; last night I was up until three o’clock; they had the colic—paragonc is bully in colic. Jane is asleep, and I am rocking the cradle while I write you, but rocking don’t always keep them quiet; when it fails. I sing ‘Oh, when shall I see Jesus?’ or ‘Welcome death, I’m ready to depart.’ ” The marriage of a prominent bachelor jeweler of this city is next in order. Yesterday wa a about as warm as any day of the sea son. The soda founts, which have been doing but a slight business for several weeks, were refreshingly brisk. It is proposed to pet a verbatim report of the pro ceedings of the City Council on Friday night and pub lish it to the world. Scene in Keely’s dry good’s store: Lady—How much for this print?

An Irishman was locked up last night for calling another Irishman the first cousin of the son of a Dutchman. T. and C. will probably investigate tbe af fair to-morrow. Officer Parish indulged himself in a rat hunt last night. He is a stockholder in a killing at Mitchell’s store on Whitehall street, in which it is represented that “the rats” literally covered him. x The “stir” in police circles last night waa unusual. Johnson and Botnar and Butler and the other hands ware busy up to 12 o’clock making out the dead-head passports for the levee which is to come off to morrow. Mr. William Henry Sledge waa “trumped” in a game of “seven-up” last night, and when brought to taw he displayed a healthy looking old knife and a right smart chance of oratory. Officer Parker captured a loose mule last night, and it was with difficulty that he could keep another man, whom the mule did not belong to, from carrying him off, whether or no. From the way the mule behaved himself. Dr. Barry thought it must be a relative to one he used to plow, and was so awfully contraty that he could do nothing with it. Put him in harness and it is hard to say which way he will travel. Put a saddle on him and he appears to doze; but try to mount him and he will all of a sudden kick every way straight out, straddle bug, with all four legs at once. Aa io eating, he will eat anything, from his feed trough up to a wooden saddle. 4fce. owner took a notion to have him shod, but he kicked out the blacksmith shop and returned home. The owner tried to kill him some time back, so ho tied his ears with a trace chain and rode him for six consecu tive days aDd nights as hard as he could under whip and spur. The fact is. he nearly killed himself in the effort, and had to be carried up-stairs to bed, and his firm belief was that the mule would die that night; but, to his astonishment, the next morning he found that the mule had kicked to death a Chester hog weSjMnf 909 pounds, bit a fciece OUt of Mia horse’s sbbulHv. eat tip saddle, blanket and brltls, tore down the fence,' and was splurging about, more devilish than evto, to find somethin* else mmn*r to do.” Dot vas my scbmall young baby. ‘ Around my head dot UKla arm Vas scbquozm me so nice aud vaim— Ob! may dere never coom woe harm To dot scbmall leetle baby.” W. T. Alexander, the Great, waa arrested for dis turbing the peace, and wept bocause he had no more worlds to conquer. The corporation borrowed ten dollars from him, and he retired to blow his nose. ▲ couple of leery era occupied the valuable time of the Court; but, however, to no purpose. The Court knows herself. Her advice to parties interested in her department is as follows: J datives' Court. Vailed (States CommUtloner'i Court. Commissioner W. B.

Thomas and Julius L. Brown for tbe Government, Hill and Conley for the defendant. The defendaat’e counsel stated that he could not give that amount of hood, so that It la probable that he will have to go to jail. This waa all the business before the court yester day. J nation Munday yesterday dismissed the pcijury warrant in the case against Mary cody, colored, on ac count of a fatal variance between tbe allegations and the proof. Jno.
