Semi-Annual Commencement at the Academy of Muslo This Mornlng-Llst of Graduates Highly Interesting Proceedings, Etc. The Flfty.flfih Semiannual Commencement of the High School occurred this morning, at the Academy of Mubic. The immonse building was crowded to its uMnoat capacity, the larger pro portion ot the audience bolus; Indies, and the pcisonal friends of the gradimtinR class. Mr. Eaward Shippi n presided. The exercises com menced al 10 o'clock, by the iiue performances of the Gcrmaoia Orchestra, under the loudership Of Carl Sent,, iollowed by an eloquent prayer by Rev. J. Yaughan Smith. , John Davifl Watson, of tho North American, delivered tho opening address. He referred to the fact that the existence of the High School had been threatened in certain quarters. He urged the people to sustain tho Institution, terming it the capstone of the eJuca tional pyetcm of Philadelphia. Twenty seven years ago tho High School was established because tho primary chool3 wore inefficient and a head was needed. Mr. Watson referred to tne chargo that tho High School sent on drono into the community, instancing th fact that almost every department of civil and military life had representatives who wor graduates of the Phila.ielp'.iU HUh School. Mr. Watson went very thor u;hly into a dis cussion of the system of education practised a the nigh School, maintaining that its course of study was equal to any college in the country. He bolievcd that it the standard of the grammar schools was elevated, we might have a number of nigh Schools instead of one, too small to accommodate all the applicants.- Tho speaker closed by asking the audience if they desired to see the High School abolished? which was answered by a unanimous "Ko." The Salutatory A ldre3s was delivered by John B. fetauttcr, commencing with a very fluttering compliment to the auiiicnco, and the kindness which the public ever extended to those strug gling to improve their minds Ov gaining an du' cation. Tne speaker referred to the fact that education is the strong bulwark of a republican iorm of troverumcnt, and urged a greater atteu tiontothe educational wants of tho yojth of the nation. The Scientific Address was made by Benjamin F. Houseman, who treated of the connection between science and nature; drawing illutra" tions from every-day lite, and showing that every nse had progressed only by developing natural forces. Mr. Houseman made -a most ' excellent address, and received bis due meed of applause. Mifflin D. Nece delivered a historical address. His tncnie was the importance of the study of the past, and the effects which bygone events exercise npon the present. Ho made a resume of important epochs, and argued thtt no event of past time was witbout a controlling influence upon the generations that followed. The close of his address was devoted to our national annals, and contained many eloquent passages. The next address was delivered by Samuel C. Coale, Jr., his subject being "Time, and its In fluence on Man" delineating tho progress which the race had made in the successive ages of tho world, and arguing a greater attention to the mental culture of the community. The speech gave evidence of deep study aud thought, and was warmly received. Frank H. Welsh delivered a most excellent address upon the subject of Popular Heading. Ho referred to the low standard of the literature which is furnished to the public at tho present day, especially those that are lonnd dn the shelves of circulating libraries and on book stands. The seutiments of the speech wore ' greatly appreciated by the audience, who testl lied their estimation by repeated bursts of applause. Ernest A. Farrington delivered the honorary address, taking for his subject the "Value of Life, and the vast responsibilities which are attached to it." The effort was an exceedingly fine one, not only in regard to its composition, but on account ot the fine manner In which it was delivered. The degrees were then conferred by Edward Shippen, Esq., President of the Board of Jschoo1 Controllers. Alter a flnvyoledictory. by Robert Williams, the vast audience dispersed to their homes, satisfied that the Hiph School had not this year proved a failure. llltttlMCUVBa --d Awards of Merit.

John Kinney was indiscreet enough lutt evening to make a too familiar acquaintance with a fluid composed principally of corn-luice. In consequence his bead became muddled, and his eyes refused to perform their proper duti 'S. He .'inadvertently, therefore, found himself in close proximity to the Delaware river at the foot of Arch street, and quietly stepped overboard. Officer Myers, ol the Haibor Police, was fortunately at baud, m ho rescued the non compos mentis Kinney from his damp quarters, and sent him home a wetter but a wiser marK A Dishonest Commission Agent.
