That Bruns wick stew will never be forgotteu, and neither will the supper, for It was one ot the most elegant suppers that we have ever sat down to; but then the ladies of Spring Hill know how to get up such affairs. The table was waited on by charming and beau tiful ladies, who did it with much grace and .ease. a iter supper, the large and beautiful cakes w ere sold at auction some ot them bring ing as much ae seven dollars. We hear that t he amount realized was some eigbtv dol lars; the supper was well worth a hundred aua nrty dollars. Col.

The crowd lelt the supper room and again commenced dancing, which was kept up until the night was seueecent, and the star dials hinted of morn. For charming and beautiful women and brave and chival rous men. Spring Hill can't be sappasaed. The Misses J. and Miss Katie J of Ala., were looking beautiful and lovely, as they always do, however. Miss R. W. and Miss A. were also as beautiful as they couid be, and many others, whose names we failed to get on account of being somewhat of a stiauger.

He was the second son of Judge Abraham Caruthers, a profound jurist and law writer, aud Eliza M.

To drown the idea, he left and v . - - . resided for two years In Minnesota, at times leading a wild and dissipated life. Having, svhlle at College, professed the Christian re ligion, and having wandered from place to place in tbe endeavor to rid himself of the Impression that he was called to preach, he finally, after a si niggle of eight years, sur rendered and entered upon the work of the ministry, with that zeal and earnestness which was ever afterwards characteristic of the man. He left Lebanon and went to li'lk-fyxr, l.'u..,i.i.lr,. In tl,a ucmroer of 1SA1I. and joined the Presbytery of the Comber land Presbyterian Church the following lall, and licensed to preach at the same time, and ordained at tbe next spring Pres. bytery.

While living at the lattej place, in lHtST, he uuited with the Masonic i.ode.

A writer in the Westminster Review for October says that Shakspeare's vouug men nave received less attention than his young women, sue nuns it uimcuit to account ror this comparative neglect, for in the abstract a youug man is not generally considered less interesting than a young woman, at least, not so considered by the youiy nvmrti. -osv, i no inn propose to talk about snak- speare s young meu, but about the young men ol tne Cuileoka Institute, aud I wouiu here remark the prominence, laiiioiiuliug lo pariiality . given iu our educational re- ioi is to teinule schools. Ihe boys, their do nas and sayings, are almost iguored, yet they do, uud suy a great many tblugs worthy ol record. Ihe thirteenth examination ol the Culleo ka Insulate closed ou Friday last, iu the lew school building. This building. so long talked ubout, and so much wished for, is uut a thing ol beauty, but il is said lo be ad mirably adapted lo school purposes. The three hundred and sixty-five feet ol black board afford line facilities for the various exercises m Greek, Latin, Algebra, Arith metic, ihe higher mathematics, and to the little ones lust iearuiuii lo make fis-ures. 1 wish the boys may do as well in the new house as tuc,v- have done in the "old base ment. The session lately closed has been he most successful iu the history of the school. About seventy-five young men booided in the village, representing the best class of Southern society. A maioritv ol these had a miitU to uoi k. The eood re- ulting from this sy stematic study was seen u tbe examination to iwhich they were ubjected. This was conducted according to the original idea involved iu educate, "to draw out. ' It was my good fortune to be present durlug the examination of the Ju nior aud Seuior classes. Tnese classes are composed principally or young men, who have beeu under the tuiliou of Profs. Webb for Several sessions. This tact has much to do with the leadiuess aud correctness svilb w hich thev replied to the many ques tions propounded by their teachers, (ques tions reiating to Geography, History, and Mythology of the various countries, Islands aud con tine. lis; questions concerning re semblances remote or uear between person aces of Mythology uud Ihe sacred story. In short, everything bearing upon tbe subject was drau n out. O.ie exo-lieuce of this plan is, that a student never kuows what work he may be called upon to perform. He has read so many pages or books iu Latin. Some one requests iliat he read, beginning with a certain line ou a particular page, and so on, through, the list of studies. In this way, he escapes that torturing state of suspense so common under tbe old rtgimt. Moreover, there is no chance for that old charge familiarly known as "packing or cramming," under which system, snow rather thau sense, was conspicuous ou pub lic days. Tins is one of the few things In which the times have grown better. Yet occasionally my memory goes mournfully back to the good old days, wheu tho school svas closed with a big barbecue, the boys and girls all dressed in their best, and learn ed their pieces o( poetry in the most meUo i mellow) dramatic style. I shall never for get my sensations at tlie first examination I ever attended, when a cadaverous chap with big, black eyes, made his appearance on tne siaze t-i recite "The Knell of Time." With a quivering voice, he asked, "And Is Time dead?" His whole frame shook and tiireateutd the safety of the shelter, when ho gave uiteiauce to the sentcmeut, "I .bought Time uever died." There his voice k to his throat, aud a flood of tears fiow- d I owu uis tace. I hi ill think that the inpathy of t.ie spectators was shown in the wiong way. The author of "The Diikesborough Tales" gives life-like sketches of s-.-eues enacted on examination days. Who does not remem ber nttie Abel Hitchens, who recited every tli ugiirerrafiiej, even to his spelling icsson.

Well, Abel and his class area!) dead not one to be found among the hoys of the Culleoka luslllute. They spell, read and declaim iu tirst rat style. 1 notice a change too iu the selection of sub jects. They have lelt the old pieces, famil iar by u thousand recital ions. This is a move iu the right direction. There is no fioelry iu "hell by chLttrrs," and we have icurd, "My country 'lis of thee, Sweet laud of liberty," till I he plainest prose would be preferred, The most enjoyable feature of the whole oc casiou was the public debate by the Hamil ton Society on Thursday evening. The ex- by string baud of Columbia. Dr. jr. C Wilkes, ot Lebanon Station, led iu prayer. The Prcsideut of the society, Mr. B. M. DeGraf reiireid, of Franklin, preceded the debaters In an eloquent oration on oratory and elo quence. The subject: Resolved, thai "Pride and Ambition h ive caused more evil in the world than Itfuoruuce and Superstition," was argued with a great deal of skill and wis full ot learning by tbe following youug gentlemen: Affirmative: J. T. Cur ry, Coruersvllle, Tenn.; J. A. Bryant, Hurrl Cniie, Tenu. Negative: S. B. Coleman, Mur freesboro, Tenn.; J. B. McGehee, Como, Mis sissippi. It Is said that Jefferson listened enchant ed to Patrick Henry, but could never tell what he said, because there Is a nameless power in eloquence as it falls from the ba nian lips which cannot be reproduced. Those speeches were all so good that you felt that each successive speaker must win. There were some admirable strokes and the humor was excellent. My memory has not beeu so freshened in along time.
