nee was large and all
ed to conspire to make thii
pleasant ahd interesting. Thi
movements and bright coun
ces of the pupils were only equal-
by the brightness on the faceo!
.ture, while Miss Minnie in her usuall
gnity and grace seemed everywhere
present with her cheerful smile. There
seemed to be a mutual confidence be
tween teacher and pupil, and through
out the examination, it was highly in
teresting to see with what promptness
qnd exactness the many various ques
tions were responded to, reflectin
much credit upon the school. At 1
P. M. on the second day, a tempting
and bountiful collation appeared which
was discussed by all with evident satis
faction, after which adjourned to meet|
at the Court House at early candle
light for the Exhibition. Much inter
est was manifested here, os before the
lamps were lighted, the Court Houae
was densely crowded. The walls and
stage were beautifully decorated with
flowers, wreaths and transparents
among the latter of which the word
“.Education" beautifully illuminated
shone conspicuous. The curtain rose
and the exeroiseB opened by the appear
ance of the young ladies dressed in
white, blue trimmed, with their teacher
in the center. Then followed compo
sitions, music, dialogues, tableaux, &c.>
Ac., too numerous and interesting to
discribe, but which held the audience
unwearied in profound interest and
rare amusement till the hour of ten,
when the exercises were olosed with a

[Eds. Cocrikb,
Have we a Patridge T
“Chasseur Boliemo” writes to th<
| Spirit of the Time*:
I have just read in the second article
I of your correspondent, “Pog lieis,” on
“The Grouse of the United States,"
that “there are no true palriiiges in North
America." Frank Forester says the
same thing, insisting that the game
little bird, known altnoBt universally at
the South as a patridge, is no putridge
at all, but a quail. We have two Amer
ican ornithologists—Wilson and Audu
bon-admitted to rank with the most
scientific and correct men of the age,
and I believe investigating the subject
as thoroughly as possible, and have
placed the bird a patridge. Against
such authorities I must have weightier
reasons than those of Herbert or other
amateurs for calling it a quail. To
scientific ornithologist, a bill, a leg, or a|
feather, is sufficient evidence from
I which toclassily and characterize an
unknown bird; and the Louisianians
believe that it was only necessary foi
Audubon to see the fresh track of nnj
bird in order to give a life-like paintin;
I of it. (Ask Thorpe if that’s so.
There is a bird called patridge >n
I some of the States, and pheasant in
others, neither of whioh is its true
name. It is correctly called ruifed
I grouse—lebrao Vmbcllu*.
1 hope that some day we shall be able
to designate our game birds by their
true and proper names,-alike in all
sections of the country. As it stands at
present—the same bird having a dis
tinct name for each diil'erent locality—
it is a very difficult matter for a sports
man to get the least idea of the kind of
game be may expect to find in the part
of the country he wishes to visit. The
I same is partly true of fish. Let us
| rectify these matters.
Ax Incident or tiie Tornado.—A cor
respondent at Buford, Highland county,
I Ohio, relutes a melancholy circumstance
connected with the ravages of the tor-
I nudo of the 21st, in that vicinity, wliieh
we have not seen mentioned elsewhere.
Two men were riding in a buggy,
short distance from Buford, and were
overtaken by the hurricane as they
were passing through a wood. A tree
which was blown over fell directly
across the top of their carriage, crush
ing it and its inmates to the ground.—
One of them Was instantly killed, while
the other had both legs broken, and
was otherwise severely injured.
Upwards of two hours elapsed after
I the storm before help came. During
I this time, the suffering of the wounded
man was terrible. The tree, which was
a large one, lay across his legs, and he
was, of course, utterly unable to extri
cate himself. Ho called for assistance
until entirely exhausted, and had given
up to die when he was discovered and
relieved from his painful position. He
I is now in a fair way to recovery.
The Great Supply Nation.—Recent
I dicoveries of gold and silver in Califor
nia, Utah, Oregon and Kansas, it is be
lieved, will increase the American
yearly product to above sixty, and per
haps seventy millions, of dollars.—
Last year nearly seventy-five millions,
I considerably more than the product
wore sent abroad, desides four mil
ls lions of bales of cotton, great quantise
bf ofbreadstufft, tobacco, Ac. The week
lie before last a million and a half in spe
cie went to Europe. It is estimated
that the specie now in the country
amounts to two hundred and eighty
I millions of dollars.

The Covods Investigation.—’
Covode Committee has concluded its
testimony. Forney and Wendell were
the lost witnesses. The former’s testi
mony was shown to the President and
several members of the Cabinet. Among
other things ho stated that he had been
offered by Mr. Buchanan the Consulate
to Liverpool, or the mission to Russia
or Prusia, if he woulcl acquiesco in the
policy nf the Administration; but he
declined. Mr. Wendell testified that
he carried ten thousand dollars in his
pocket for wAks to present to Col. For
ney, and if necessary was authorized to
increase it to twenty or twenty-five
thousand dollars, if he would accept
the Liverpool Consulate os the mission
to one of the great Powers of Europe,
but Forney declined.
Bgy-Tho reported assassination of the
Tycoon lias not been communicated to
the Japanese embassy. It is said,
though, that a visitor indiscreetly al
luded to the reports in presence of one
of tho secretaries, who, however, dis
creetly withheld the vague inteligence
from the rest of the embassy.
