Flie Beauty and Intelligence of Georgia Present—The Largest Assembly Known to the History of Forsyth. Bishop Pierce's Sermon. On Sunday mornltg, July the 13th, the sun rose in uuob.i.urtd t-pleLdor, as it tmilrng propitiously upon the exercises v.bitc were to rnaugura e the opening o! mi 19.n Annual Cuinnienctintuiol mis Col tge. A an ear y hour the et/ eel were crowded Ub carriages, buggies and pr te l* freighted with beauty ar.U intelligence, in k.Lg .heir way to tbe Coileae Chapel. Bj 10 u'c.ock the Ckapel hall was ci a ug to oveifloAing, ana still Ihc atoemulago swelled until it was absolutely impossible tor n.oie to lied room. There, oiingi.ng with nervous exc temeut, their anticipations oi the approaching hour w hen rite Bishop would begin, satan audience large iu numbers aud presuming the grandest and most fascinating appearance that the eye of man ever rested upon. At 10% o'c.ock the choir broke forth with the most enchanting and exciting music, attracting all eyes by the strangeness ol i!s meiody and win ning all hearts by its sublimity. Bishop Pierce began the services of the day by a most impress ive and leeiing prayer. His sermon was founded upon the first 8 verses ot the 78th Psalm. With out remarks or explanations, he dashed like a me teor Into tho mystery of his subject, and with pro found logic end most appropriate illustiations, combining religion with education in the most in genious and artful mauner, he erected a structure of the human mind and actions, of the grandest pro portions, and magnified its elegance and beauty by the richest adornments. As he advanced in hia discourse, his zeal aud fervor increased the poten cy of his arguments and the richness of his voice. Wrapt in the contemplation of his sublime sub ject, and conscious of the duties of the hour, his lips delivered fresh from hie soul sentiments of the purest character, and suggestions ch ystalized by years of religious experience. The unused ears of the enchained audience drank the words of wisdom as they iell from his lips with un studied elegance and unostentatious display. This closed the exercises of the day. On Monday morning the Sophomore Exhibi tion— prize rhetorical reading occurred with the most favorable and satisfactory results. The young ladies engeged gave evidence of high culture and proficiency In this depart ment.

The Commencement, with the number of visi tors present and the attractive programme pre sented, promises to be one of the most brilliant in the history of Monroe Ftmale Co.lege. We shall give a full report o( the exercises in our next issue. Tub Annual Exim)natiun and Exhibition at Cabaniss.—Ou last Friday morning the Exem in.-.tion ot the pupils ot Cabaniss Academy began under the mos*. propitious circumstances. At an early hour a large and interesting crowd assem bled for the purpose ot witressiug the interesting exercises, which had been previously an nounced. The exercises of tbe day were com menerd by an examination in sacred history of a class of six, composed of Misses Steele, Gibson and Johnston, and Masterc Gcggins, McCord and Sieele. They displayed nasck knowledge, and what was remarkable a very fair conception of the place and circumstances connected with the life, character and crucifixion of Christ. Their exam ination was entirely satisfactory, and showed clearly that they had been instructed by one who understood thoroughly his business. The next class deserving special mention was piade up of Miss Steele, a ve'y bright and intelligent little girl, and John Steele. They underwent a thor ough examination in the history of tbe United States, and (their youthfulness considered) dis played an unusual acquaintance with the earlier and intermediate o,et,urrences of our country. Mr. John Steele was examined iu Latin aud, el lh( j-k u beginner, showed considerable profi ciency in the branches oi that study. At 12 o’clock the exercises vcre ' closed, until 8 o’clock, p. m., when the Exhibition began. entertainment was well arranged and the pnpiU participating performed each one his and her part with great credit and satisfaction. The whole wound up with the grand roariDg drama of “ seek ing a wife.” In this connection we cannot forbear making special mention of Mr. Steele, lor the In imitable manner with which ho rendered the part of “ wife-seeker.” Under the guidance of that splendid gentleman and superior scholar, Prof. W. J. Morcock, we confidently believe that the school in that vicinity will soon be increased extensively in patronage and support, and under hi 9 plastic hand and cul tivated mind will reflect not only credit upon the community bat upon the the county. The Forsyth Cornet Band was on band and added much to the pleasure and joy of the occasion. At the close of the exhibition the friends and patrons of the Institution resolved themselves into a meeting and passed some very complimentary resolutions to the Band, which are published else where, and which we cordially endoise. In be half of Forsyth Cornet Band, Col. P. H. Miller re turned their thanks In a brief but eloquent and sensible speech. The citizeus of the 14th District are generally hospitable, and on this occasion were earnest and untlriug in their endeavors to make all happy. Among the many we desire to acknowledge spe cial favor from Mr. Jno. A. Steele and Jas. M. Shannon.

For wheffi angels did impatient WaU, Witn on' stretched arms and wings of love Tri w ail him to the realms above.

Murder. —The commitment trial of Kit Brown, coi., the murderer of Lindsey Johuson, col , was heard on last Saturday by Justices King, Head and Johnson. The elrcumstaucea connected with the killing are substantially as follows : On Sunday, the 27th of June, Kit Brown went to the negro church on the plantation of Messrs. Rhodes and Elder, fpr the purpose, as he stated, “ ol killing a man who ought to be killed ot get? ting killed himself.” Some time before the diffi culty Brown was heard to say that he Intended to kill deceased belore night, A difficulty was ap. prehended by some negroes present and they, to avoid it, started off with and towards the home of deceased. Jpt Brown followed the crowd, passed in front and baited until they came up to him, when be took a knife from his pocket and maf* three attempts to stab deceased, but was prevented by the Interference of negroes present. Lindsey Johnson remarked to prison?!’ that if that was what he wanted it was all right, then drew out his pistol and fired at him twice. Prisoner then left and was next seen in about half an hour approaching deceased and the crowd with whom ho was in company. When he ar rived in about sixty yards of the deceased he raised his gun and presented it at him, still ad vancing, when deceased pulled out bi3 pistol and fired at him two or three times. This did not stop Brown; he kept advancing, and when in abont forty yards of deceased, raiced his gun and fired. A post mortem examination disclosed the fact that a piece of lead, weighing thirty six grains, had penetrated the right frontal bone abont two and five-eighths inches from the center and in the right temple. The lead passed through both hemispheres of the brain and lodged against the Inner plate of the skull on the opposite side. Fourteen small shot were found in the scalp of the deceased. The prisoner was committed to jail. T. B. Cabaniss represented the State, E. B. Amos the defendant. Fine Fowls.— On last Friday at Cabaniss, Dr. W. N.

SPECIAL NOTICES. ~ The Career of a Great Remedy. —Twenty summers have elapsed 6ince it we.s briefly an nounced tnat anew vegetable tonic and alterative, bearing the name of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, had been added to the list of preventive restora tive medicines. The modest advertisement which invited attention to the preparation stated that it had been used with great success in private practice as a cure for dyspepsia, bilious com plaints, constipation and intermittent fever. It was soon discovered that the article possessed ex traordinary properties. The people, of every class, tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, cor rective and restorative, and found that its effects more than fulfilled their hopes and expectations. From that time to the present its course has been upward and onward, and it stands to day at the head of all medicines of its class, American or imported, in the magnitude of its sales and its reputation as a safe, agreeable and potent invig orant and restorative. For languor and debility, lack of appetite and gastric disturbances so com mon during the summer months it is absolutely infallible.* Indigestion, bilious disorders, consti pation, nervousness, all the, ordinary complaints generated by a vitiated and* humid atmosphere, vanish under its renovating and regulating influence. This is its record, avouched by volumes ol intelligent testimony, ex tending over a period of a fifth of a century, and comprehending the names ol thousands of well known citizens belongmg to every class and call ing. In Europe it is thought a great thing to ob tain the patront.ge ol royalty for a “ patent medi cine.” but llos'eftt-r’s Bitters has been sponta neously approved by millions of ind- pendent sov ereigns, ana is parent consists ip thejr endorse ment. >i.
