The address of Dr. Pritchard was humorous, practical and highly complimentary to the school, and was received with much favor by the audience.  After the conferring of the diplomas by Mr. Woodard, the pleasant occasion came to an end.  The Institute is an honor to the city, and certainly reflects great credit on the officers who conduct it.—­Morning Star.

ITEMS.

We have received No. 1, Vol. 1, of the Academy Student, published and printed by the students of the Williamsburg Academy, Williamsburg, Ky.  The little paper is large with promise.  It is as bright as a new dollar.

A teacher asked her class in geography where the Turks live.  The remarkable reply was, “In the woods.”  Thinking the pupil had confounded the Orientals with the Aborigines, the answer was pronounced to be “incorrect.”  The pupil rejoined, “Well, I have seen them there roosting in the trees.”

The following extract is from a composition on “The Blacksmith.”

“Man in his state of incarnation has various ways of making money to supply himself with nutriment so that the body may be able to exhiliarate its immortal tenant, ‘the soul.’  The one about which I shall speak is the Smith.  This trade is of momentous importance....  It is quite amusing to hear him when he is mending a piece of malleable work; he has a way of striking the iron that makes it sound harmonious to the ear, and children very often stop to hear him.”
