They were well atten ded, the house being too small to ac commodate the visitors at all times. All the students displayed remarka ble thorougUness in every study, and faced the rigid test to which they were subjected with a confidence that elicited adminUior. K il-i^is tic expressions from ns as to the teacher Mr. P. J. King, would he worthless, for already he is consider ed one of the profonndest scholars and finest disciplinarians in flic State, and taking all things together, we unhesitatingly pronounce this t.<» he the finest school for young men that upp r Georgia aff «rds. To young men who intend taking a collegiate course a few terms m - der Mr. King would do more to fa cilitate their progress than a iy plan they could otherwise | ursuo.

It was a fact extraordinary, (and liable to awaken incredulity in the minds of skeptical humorists) that during the whole week neither tho substance uoreff. ct of either “spirituous or malt liquors” were even slightly vis ible, ami we attribute this remarka ble pheu imenon, less to the salutary workings of the “local option law than to tin- general temperance of each and every individual. The examination of'the Deaf and Dumb was In hi on Wednesday, and the advancement of the inmates to gether with tlie surprising alacrity well posted as to tho plan of study in all standard colleges, and his ex-/and accuracy with which they perienco and advantages in this line swered ev. ry question, spoke in tin make the arguments in his favor re- | mistukable terms of the steadiness in ark ably strong.

A good many of our best people, both old and young attended the exercises and feel under obligations to the it- izensofout' neighbor for the gnuv and cordiality with which she exten ded every courteous rite tlyit hospi tality could claim. Cave Spring is, indeed, ^delightful place, and was enjoyed especially by our young people who could bo s. on traversing its mountains with elastic step, exploring ihe cave, or slowly following the serpen line course of tho beau til u It'dar as it “gurgling, kissed the pebbled shore.” What oc cupied their minds in these delight ful rumbles, We are of of course una ware, but rather suspect that “birds snug loto on every spray.” Atone o’clock the excursion train from Al lan I a was heard rumbling in the dis tance; Soon ufter the already large crowd was swelled by about two hun dred excursionists, Tho excursion was honored by the preseno" of Gov.

Tho day was well spent, and every one re gretted when the glowing west brought to their minds that it was in declamation showed mark training, and the same number of speeches would Imw been creditable to any college. The first and second prizes were won respectively by Ed Crook of Jacksonville* and W.

The prizes were, awarded by our townsman, Hon^O. G. Janes, who delivered an appropriate address of polished elegance, pregnant with ideas calculated to inspire hope and enthusiasm in the hearts of all yobng people. The Musical Concert at night was given by Prof. Snow and class, and words fail us when we attempt an adequate description. Prof’s. Snow and Aflleck arc musicians of the high e*t order; the class was composed mostly of young ladies, some of whom exhibited a degree of training and natiffal musical talent that was truly wonderful. The instrumental musio was grand, hut whether or not it exceeded in melody the warbled words that were breathed through beauty's lips isaquestioii hard to de cide. The callous wretch whojie eye dues not kindle and whose emotions are not awakened at “SwaotMt lnyn, From llp« of rosiest liiHlro ehed;” who is not moved by music’s sigh or beauty’s light, tbws not deserve tho name of man.
