THE EXAMINATION
Of the students of the Academies in this place, terminated on Thursday evening last. We had not ourselves an opportunity of attending it; but we learn from those who were present during each day that the pupils of both institutions acquitted themselves in a manner highly creditable to their teachers, to their own progress, and to the entire satisfaction of the Board of Trustees. The report of the examination was publicly read on Friday, and is now published in this day's paper.
On Thursday evening, the young gentlemen of the town performed in a very handsome style, the comedy of "A cure for the heart ache/' and the afterpiece, "Fortune's Frolic." The proceeds of the night, as usual, go to the benefit of the Academies. They were assisted in the performance by Mr. and Mrs. Hannam, from the north, who very obligingly offered their services on that occasion.
The exercises of the Academies will be resumed on Monday, the 6th of July.
