COar se this was not the time to discuss the different " ri s that are maintained upon some branches of the *ubjeet. Youthful students are to be examined upon the they have studied, and tried by that ted they mer 'Re approval of all. In the Languages the fidelity as well as the compe tence of the teachers was shown in aiming to lead the pupils to a thorough knowledge of the principles of the science, as well as ot their application in construction and translation. The Mathematics came in for their full share of atten tion, according to their importance in a course of liberal education—and, here again, the Committee were gratified with the high attainments achieved over such parts as they had studied. We were carried back to our school boy days, and before we were aware found our minds glowing with the emotion and interest we used to feel under similar circumstances. The exercises in composition and declamation well cor respond with their attainments in the other branches of study. We hazard nothing in the prediction that there were powers exhibited on that occasion which will make themselves felt—we trust for good—upon the community in the various departmeLts of domestic and public life. The examination was no sham, get upon select por tions ef the subjects studied to make an empty show, and a false impression in regard to the attainments of the scholars, but a faithful exemplification of those attain ments. We congratulate the community upon having among them so excelleut a literary Institution, and would ear nestly suggest that the appropriate acknowledgement to these competent, laborious and successful teachers, un der whose instruction such scholorship as we were so happy to witness, had been attained, is to extend to them their liberal patronage and heaity co-operation.

GRAND FANCY DUKSS BALL. —On Friday evening last, a Fancy Dress Ball came off at the Ward House. It was a complete success ; far exceeding the expectations of the most sanguine. The characters were generally se'ected with good taste, and well sustained. But to the Ladies we must accord the credit of greatly surpassing the Gentlemen in the richness and elegance of their costumes, and the very able manner iu which they sustained their several parts. Want of space forbids any attempt to particularize— we must content ourselves with a brief mention of the characters represented : The Union was beautifully rep resented by Miss L—e W—d, with her stars and stripes, the red, white and blue. She sustained her part well, and was among the belles of the evening. Miss H—n M—e and Miss S—h A—y. the forme'- representing Morn ing and the latter Night, were elegantly attired and at. traded much attention. Miss E—e B—w appeared in the character of the Goddess of Liberty ; she was beau tifully dressed and lustained her character admirably. Miss F —k C—r personated the character of Pocahontas ; her custome was elegant and exceedingly appropriate, and she sustained her part well, and attracted much at tention during the evening. Miss L—e K—y as Lady of the Laic was a decided success. Mrs. J. W. M—s as the Spanish donna; Misses B—t S—g ll—n P—l. and D —a T—<3, as Flower Gills ; A —e K—y and S—h C—h as Highland dames ; H—a M—e as " Fiora McFlimsey;'' D —l F—x as a " Young Lady o! Color;" D—a C—r as the Irish Lady ; M—a P —s as a Bloomer ; M—a A—t as " Old Aunt CUloe" ; A—e F—x as Mrs. Partington ; A—a L—n as Widow Bedott; S— H—l as Shepherdess; M— yC—h as an Ancient Lad \ ; H—e W—n represent ing the Union ; A—a W—n the Young Bride ; I—a 'l—h as Summer—all were dressed with ta-te and propriety, and Dore themselves in their several parts with much grace and effectiveness, and deserve a lengthier notice than we have room to give. Many of the Gentlemen perforate I their parts well ; though their costumes did not show the taste and elabo ration of the Ladies. Mr. J. G. I'- nas Sir John Falstaff was dressed in character, and sustained his part equal to the merry knight himself, to the very gieat amusement of the audience. C—k P—r in the character of a dandy negro, took off the " intelligent contraband " to perfec tion, and has rarely been surpassed by the Christy's; J—e W—n in his Irish character was splendid, and would have done credit to Barney Williams himself ;CC —yeR—e cs one of the Imps of Darkness; J. W. M -sas 'Smikes'; G—e E—l as a Sailoi Boy; A—t B—r as a Plantation Darkey ; A—r B—t as a New England Yankee ; M—n S—g i, s a French Zomve ; 01. H. 15. McK—n as Knight of the Red Cross; P y Q—s as a Modern Puritan; F—k C—n as a Brigand ; C—y P—h as ' the Last Ro?e of Summer;" A—u P--s, the Continental; W—l T—d, as an English Officer ; J—n I)—r elaborately got up in Turkish style, were among the most noticeable costumes present, aud done credit to the wearers. The dancing was entered into with much spirit, and apparantly enjoyed with great zest. Goddesses, Devils, Aboriginies, Contrabands, and all the motley crowd ap parantly gave themselves up to the reign of Terpischoie with unusual abandon. Keeler, the prince of musicians, was present with h is full band, and was never more hap py in his selection of music. The dancing was kept up until " the wee sma'hours ayent the twal," when the company separated in the highest possible state ot satis faction and enjoyment. Fancy Dress Bails have been of late all the rage in our cities, and are now becoming popular all over the coun try, and i! properly conducted are a source of amusement and pleasure. It is gratilying to know, that this, the first public oue ever held in Towauda, passed oil so sa tisfactorily and pleasantly to all. On the morning of March 25, 1 SG.'t, by the Rev. E. 11.

In Pike, Bradford county, Pa., on the 20th of March, EDWARD CRANDALL. M. D., aged 57 years aud 14 days. Perhaps no man, in the ordinary walks of life, was more widely known in this and the neighboring conn, ics, than Dr. Crandal. And he needed only to be known to be loved. He was born in Trumansburg, Tompkins Co., N. Y-, aud early exhibited an extroardinary degree of determination in the pursuit of his studies. I liirty-eight years ago, at the very early age of 19, be commenced the practice of medicine in Luzerne county, in this state. Six years afterwards he removed to this county, where he has resiced ever since. Having been compelled, by contiuu ed ill health, to give up the practice, he this winter, se cured a clerkship in Washington, out remained there only a month. His anxiety lor his family and bis coun try, his broken-down constitution, and his unceasing at tendance at the bedside of his nephew, M. W. Jones, in his la-t illness, all combined to render hint an easy prey to that same fearful disease, typhoid fever. As soon as be felt himself growing ill, be started lor home, feeling that it was his last sickness. He survived but nine days after reaching home. His whole lite was spent in studying how he couid most benefit his fellow man. Remarkably successful in liis profession, he always remembe red the intimate rela tion of the health of the mind to that of -the body, and considered that his task was but bait done when he had alleviated physical pain. He was the skillful physician, the kind and gentle nurse, the thoughtful friend and ounseilor. The Cuurch on earth has lost a consistent and active member ; society is deprived ot one of its greatest ornaments ; the sick and sutfering have met with au unspeakable loss: and he will loug be remembered and mourned by all who knew him well. In Washington, D. C., on the 3d of March uIt.,NORVAL WADSWORTH JONES, eldest son of E. W. Jones, Esq., of Pike, aged 31 years, 7 months and 18 days. The death of this young man deserves more than a passing notice. Having, by the exercise of a great de gree of energy and perseverance, acquired a superior ed ucation amoug difficulties tbat would have effectually hindered a less determined will he was engaged for a number of years as teacher of Mathematics in Harbart Hall Academy, Holland Patent, Oneda county, N. Y. Alter leaving these, he occupied his tim?, for a while, in acting as Agent for a publishing house in New York, in lu e introduction of school books In the counties of Tioga ! and Broome. Afterwards he became a studant at law in the office of Hon. D. S. DICKINSON, at'Binghamton. Sub sequently he l>ecarae a teacher in Latin and Mathematics at St. Timothy's Hall, Baltimore county Md., and while there he was admitted to the Bar in Baltimore city. He continued .there until the school was broken up, by the ex citement attendant upon the present rebellion. At the tiin-e of bis deatn, he was temporarily engaged with his brother in busiuess in Washington. Having business that called him to the Camp, be was detained there more than a week, and while there he contracted that terrible ; disease, the typhoid fever, which so soon termimatcd his j life. Two weeks of excrutiating suffering, brought him i to " the last of Earth." He breathed his last in the arms j of tender and devoted friends, whose faithful, earnest and unceasing attendance at his bedside, deserves and re ceives the heartfelt gratitude of his relations and friends. There are indeed many, in whatever community he has resided, who will mourn his untimely end. Possessing a superior education, a member of the Bar in Baltimore, with au extensive knowledge of men, ob tained where true education can only be acquired—by intercourse with men and books—perhaps no young man possessed the promise of a brighter future, or gave his friends more pleasing hopes. Generous aßd noble, with out ostentation, the loving son, the affectionate brother, the faithful friend, and the sincere christian, his memory is embalmed in the hearts of all—parents, brothers, sis ters, a large circle of relations and friends, north and south, who will remember but to bless.
