The Old Time Students of the Boanoke Classical Seminary, Hold a Reunion. The spring term of the Roanoke Classical seminary closed Friday, and In Tiew of the fact, the old time students, residents of Roanoke, conceived the Idea of holding a reunion of the old students on Thursday evening, and although when preparations were commenced, the time was exceedingly brief, the exercises were most pleasant in every particular, and were greatly enjoyed. It was our pleasure to attend, and route to Roanoke, we stopped at the home of Mr. aud Mrs. Oliver John, where we were most hospitably entertained for a few hours.

A magnificent supper was well taken care of, we assure you, as any acquainted with our ability well know. The exercises at the seminary were largely attended, the hall having been crowded. The meeting was called to order by Prof. Howe, and an opening anthem was excellently rendered by the U. B.

church choir, composed of Mesdames E. C. Olds, Mattle Strock Misses Ina Scrivens, Dora Dinius, Messrs. J. R.

Simons, C. Simons, R. mm. nVk Mitcneii, irvin uicnaras, o. xaouj the latter presiding Also at the organ Prayer was offered fey Elder R.

Burton, of North Manchester, and after another selection of music, that gentleman delivered an entertaining address upon "Servitude." He was followed by a duett, rendered by Mrs. E. a Olds and Mrs. J. S.

Zent the title of which was "Strictly Confidential' The selection was of a comic its rendition brought down the house. A paper giving an interesting: review of the foundation of the seminary trials and struggles was read by Rev. P. A. Robinson, and Mrs.

E. Olds gave an interesting account of many of the former students, where they are and what they are now do ing. Brief remarks were made by Mohler, Mrs. Pelgh, J. M.

Keefer, L. Hackett former Btudents of the seminary, and after a quartette, "Old Times," by Mrs. Olds, Mrs. Strock, Messrs. Simons and Bash, the audience was dismissed.

During the evening, the proposition was made to form an association of the former students of the semi nary, and hold their meetings regular ly. The idea is a first class one, and should be acted upon by those inter ested. Such an association would be not only a pleasant affair, but would inure to the positive benefit of all concerned, and tend to keep alive most pleasant memories of bygone days, Eds. Hkrald. The Seminary Entertainment.

The close of the spring term of the Roanoke classical seminary, was cele brated Friday evening by a most admirable entertainment which it was our pleasure to attend. The large hall was completely packed at an early hour, standing room even being at a premium. Boanoke never does any thing by halves, and those who expect I ed a fine performance were not dis appointed. At about eight o'clock the exercises opened by a splendid anthem by the choral class, after which prayer was delivered, and another anthem, Be joyf uiia the Lord," by the choral class. This was followed by declama 'i tlons, the first one being by Miss Cora shrove, she rendering in a most ex cellent manner a selection entitled.

The Drinking House over the Way.1 The lady possesses an excellent voice, and was familiar with her production. qualities essential to a declalmer. 'Easy on the stage and perfectly natur ai, ner rendition was good throughout. i The same can be said of Miss Eva Tvasmuth, who most excellently ren dered The DeathBrldge of the The piece in the first Dart is Daxticu pathetic, yet it closes In a happy vein one or those, transitions from the grave to the eav which alwavs produce pleasurable emotions. Asplen did declamation was also rendered by jir.

ira swans, who was. ill at the time of making the program but A. wno appeared wt aaranLage at tne en tertainment. i The declamations were followed by a selection oi music, jc or uoa so i Loved the "World," rendered by the male quartette, a most excellent organization, and one which does much ere lit to Roanoke. The first essay was by Salter upon the subject "Improvement of Youth." Youth is the time for im provement the spring time the time when we are moulded.

Man cannot so improve at maturity ana man is the outgrowth of youth. People must not waste time in youth and hope for success by and by. To gain success, youth must 1st, realize the meaning of life 2d, have sound Ideas of right aud wrong 3d, possess a good character, cultivate honesty, generosity, etc Seek purity and bv making life pure, a rich harvest is the reward. The essay was an earnest production and was good. The subject selected by O.

M. Searles was "Gen. 11. E. Lee," in which the youLg man gave an opinion as to Lee's course during the rebellion.

While' the essay may have been written with the best intentions, we have our doubts as to the proprietv of lauding traitors or their works. Lee sought to destroy the government that had educated aud honored him. ana that alone is sufficient to condemn him. There is too much a proneness to overlook the deeds of rebels, and bring in the plea for them that they were "honestnn their convictions, if they were right, the boys who wore the blue were wrong, and we are not willing to concede that. The anxiety of the rebel General in the U.

S. Senate to place the name of Lee over that of the lamented Grant, was sufficient to cause the blood of Union men to boil, and we see no necessity in au effort of our people to make him a hero and martyr. He may have been an admirable general, but his treason was that of any common rebel, and as such it should be looked upon by all loyal people. The delivery of the young man was, however, good, showing him to be possessed of the elements of a good speaker. This was followed by most excel lent music by the Ethereal bind, an organization which is a credit to any place.

The audience would not be content until they had made a second appearance, rendering most enchant ing music. An historical essay upon "Red Jacket," the chief of the Seneca na tion. was read dv Spain, it was a biographical sketch, and was well prepared and interesting. The quartette rendered a selection, The Band." in imitation of a brass band, which took the audience by storm, and called forth a hearty encore to which the boys lesponded. The first oration was by Theo.

Swank, upon the subject, "Know thy self. The speaker said that man snould Know himseli temporally, as well as spiritually. Even the Greeks knew the importance of this self knowledge, and while it was held in such esteem by the ancients so much tne more it enaoies us to meet our responsibilities and do good to our fellowmen. We cannot pay attention to everything else and not know every ming going on around us, and so man should know himself, as self knowl edge constitutes the foundation of general knowledge. We must understand our character if we would appear to the best advantage.

Acquaintance with our capaoilities is also an element. Make yourself a study It is a duty and then new beauties will unfold in life, and it will gratify you at death. "Earth's Battle Fields" was the sub ject chosen by W. Dinius, and he laid down the premise that greater "battles are beins? daily fought than any mill tary battle. The battles of antiquity rendered immortal the names of many, yet the grandest battles are those fought for morality and the right Luther fought the great battle of religious liberty; Franklin, by his course, won a grand victory Garfield was an instance of man's capability Florence Nightingale, Wycliffe, and others who did so much for the oppressed, these were the true war riors, and there could be no com par ison between the good done by the deeds of these and the greatest deeds of valor in which the warrior was engaged.

A most amusing trio between Messrs. Bash, Richards and Simons brought round after round of applause from the audience, and tney were compelled to appear a second time. The grades of the students were then read and the audience was dis missed. The term has been a most satisf act ory one in every particular and the enrollment has been large. The sem inary, under Prof.

Howe, is doing a good work, and we are glad to note its prosperity. The next term begins June 1st. Eds. IIekald.j Boanoke Public Schools. Last Friday closed a most successful nine months' term of public school In this place.

The closing exercises were held Monday evening anii witnessed by all who were fortunate enough to gain admittance on account of the vast crowd. After music.by the Ethereals an opening antnem oy cue u. ix. cnoir and invocation by rror, uowe, a salu tatory address was given by Ina Scriven, containing many wholsome thoughts pointing out the happy re sults that must follow ambition, ner severence and activity.

Daniel Was muth told alL about "Bob's Wonderful Bicycle," and then came an essay by Dora Welch, showing the need of true politeness lying in reach of all, the possession of which is a great advan tage to a boot black as well as people of wealth. Llbble Thrasher offered "The World for Sale" and declaimed clearly and distinctly. Ella Hart, read a paper on "Influence, showing how one should make his footsteps worthy of being followed by others. Exam ples of Washington and Jesse James, show the extremes of influence for weal or woe. But no exercises during the evening was quite so captivating as a quartett sung by Ellla Pickle, Pearl Wilkerson, Almeda Scriven and Nina Strock.

The little girls with large dolls in their arms presented a pretty picture. Their song was. There a baby in the house, and the encore given was a strong one. Mettle Liggett, Liizzie McCracken, Maud Christy, Hope Shreve, Mertie Welch and Ida Bryson each gave a declamation and all did well. Misses Scriven and Hart were called back on the rendition of a beautiful organ duet which all enjoyed.

By request, a dialogue "The house that Jack built" was given by Bert Dinius and Nina Strock, who were greeted by great applause. A debate between Arthur Wasmutb, Willie Windle, Bert Dinius and Dora Was mutn, was good. Tne subject was. Resolved, That Indiana affords a bet ter borne than Italy, and the argu ment was well balanced on both sides. Hope Shreve, Mamie Hart, Ida Bry son and Mettle Liggett sang a quar tette so nicely that they were com pelled to appear a drain in a medley.

A paper edited by Ella Hackett, which she called the Sunbeam, fairly con vulsed the audience with laughter at times. The local personal "hits" were well chosen xnd struck us hard when we least expected it. We all had to take it alike, however, and each in turn blushed, bowed and accepted the inevitable. After all. the crowning feature of the evening was a drama entitled.

The Turn of the Tide. Elaborate prepa rations were made to make the feature a success, and the high expectations of all were fully met. Scenery, cur. tains, etc, had all been provided, regardless of expense or labor, and presented a handsome appearance. We snail not trtve a cast ol characters or a synopsis of the play, but suffice to say all the irts were well sustained and not the least monotonous.

Our attention is frequently called to the condition of the Jackson gravel road. There are are some bad chuck holes badly in need of "more sand." The superintendent informs us it will be attended to at once; The bottom road, leading east of town. Is in a wretched shape. It has not been In a passable condition all spring. It is such a prominent road that it Is too bad some attention has not been paid to repairing it' at least temporarily, long before this.

It has been discovered that the reason why the "weary traveler faint ed and fell by the wayside," was all on account that he did not purchase his shoes at the popular store of C. Ebersole.

When the smoke cleared away, the window had dropped down and George ran across the street and awoke Ben Oppenheim and went over to look for the dead burglar, whom they supposed had fallen back out of the window. They entered the store and Ben held the front door (to keep it from running off.) while George examined the safe and the rear of the store. He found the load of buckshot had been aimed about one foot too high.

It went through the class. just over the burglar's head, and be escaped. After this, they aroused Lessel Long and marshal Shroyer, who searched the city for some clue. Ben Oppenheim called Lessel. He was not excited, he says, but Dr.

F. Ibach, on Poplar street to celebrate the twentieth wedding anniversary of that estimable couple. At an early hour the parlors were well filled with guests who enjoyed the occasion to the utmost being well entertained in the happy manner of the host and hostess. The couple did not look as though the years passed together had left any impress of time, but on the other hand had been filled with the joys and gladness of happy life, and, as they greeted their guests, many were the compliments on their youthful appearance. After the guests had assembled, supper was served, and it was a feast that any one could relish.

Especially was it acceptable to the poor mortals of the press and it was fully enjoyed. At a late hour the guests began to leave for their respective homes, each one wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ibach many happy returns of the' day. Among those present from a distance were Mr.
