The Cbktbal High School—Fiftv-
TihST Semi*ATWirAt CoaiMßtrcssraNT—Yesterday
morning tbe semiannual commencement of the
Central High School place at the Academy of
music* Aa usual, there was an immense attend*
Anoe, the audience filling every seat, even up to the
amphitheatre. The aides of the parquet* *s vrell as
the private hoses and the platform, were likewise
crowded. The ladlcr, of course, were in tha majori
ty* and conceded with each o'fcer in awarding to
the youthful orators tfceir marks of approbation ana
Affection, in tbe ebape of appl.o» and bouquet..
The platform seats were ocoupied by the Faculty of
She School, tbe Board of School Controllers, the
graduates of tbe fifty-first class, tbe Alumni Astocla-
Men, and distinguished guests.
The doors of tbe Academy were opened at 0
o'clock, and in leas than an hour afterwards the
building was filled. The Orchestra, under
she direction of Oarl Seutz. was present, and dig
coursed excellent music in the interludes. ..
The proceedings were opened by an appropriate
Siayer by Bev. Bishop Simpson. This was followed
y the introductory aidless, by James Lynd, Esq *
president of Select Council. It was addressed to
ihe respective duties and positions in life of schol
ars. school.teachers, school directors, and coat rollers,
Jn referring to the latter, he said;
rfotwithstsudii-g the extraordinary civil
war that the world has over w'on^ssed—one for the
suppression of a rebellion that damans aluac could
have conceived, and madmen alone have ventured
10 pupetrate—-he nobie ** stem under your charge
lias made steady and gratifying progress. You have
increased the nutnb-r of your scholars, teachers,
and school bui&mgs. ard thn latter are greatly im
proved in external proportions and internal furnish
ing. The amount placed at your disposal for the
current year ia largely in excess of the sum expend
ed for school purposes last year. These results de
monstrate tbe fidelity with which your duties have
been discharged, and simply to announce them is to
heeiow the highest euiogr.
The speaker then extend'd n greeting to the young
gentlemen graduates, saying:
To 3 ou in particuir.rie this day and the ceremonies
dedicated. To witness and welcome your advent
upon the stage of active Ire, professors, controllers,
and invited guests, the learned and distinguished of
our aity, gather around you, and this vast house is
filled from baee to dome with your relatives and
friends?. You are the heroes of the occasion, and
this is your ovation. You come not as the ancient
Homan conquergjp, backed by legions of veteran
soldiers, with human cap'ives and the spoils of van
quisbed nations in your >raln.
Yours has been a conquest nobler than theirs—a
conquest over indMei.ce, procrastination, boyish i
amusements, and hundre dof temptations—a con- ;
quest wholly your own. Without this, you could
not be worthy of the present brilliant reception.
That you are worthy of it, your presence here, with
3be approval of the able and faithful gentlemen who
have had charge of ycur instruction, conclusively
establishes.
feW ords of sound, wholesome advice, to the young
graduates, were then imparted to them, and the in*
iiotuotory concluded thus:
la conclusion, let me enjoin upon you to adhere
faithfully to the principle* of action that have been
inculcated in you i urinj tne list few years at tbe
*>oble Institution whose graduates you are about to
become.
To the past observance of these principles yon owe
your present proud position, aod through the future
observance of them cult prouder positions may
Await you. Ai 0 n w, ta tl. e name of the Professors
«f the Central High >ahool oi Philadelphia, In the
name of the Conti oiler* *>f > be Public Schools of the
Tiiat School Bistilct of Ft uhb} Irani», in the name
of ycur elder brettuen, the alumni nf the Central
High School, and in the pivaence o 1 this vast assem
bly of your fiiendi ar.d tr.iluw*citizens, I bid you a
cordial welcome to the w.*rid of busy, useful life.
2Vlay your future be as prosperous as your past has
been diligent and meritorious.
The addrerees of the graduates then followed.
They were mostly all delivered in a subdued tone of
voice, but gave no little satisfaction to the favored
cnes who were nearer to The platform.
The first was the salutatory address (second
honor), delivered by Edwin J. Houston. This was
S [trite well written, coutainiug a pointed admonition,
O hie fellow graduates -o make use of their present
hour, that the harveet of their luture years would
he plentiful and rich.
Then followed the scientific address—subject, as
ktonomy—by Wm M. Suaukraan. This young gen-
Hem an dwelt pMtjculMij <>n tne uoetry. eloquence.
And music inherent in the study of this branch or
science. The deliveiy of the address was some*
What marred by the low voice in which it was
9pokea<
The poetic*] address, by Win. F. Schmoele, present*
ed a new feature In the commencement exercises,
and the audience manifested no little satisfaction
at the innovation. The address contained many
gems would have done credit to older writers.
Hr. Schmoele’* argument was contained in the last
limes of his essay:
All animate creation feels
The power Of Home, and mankind kneels
Before her shrine, and willing pays
The humMe tribute of his praise;
To that blest spot, where ever stand
The emblems of the promised land,
That radiant face, in which is given.
An earthly miniature of Heaven.
The next address was upon “ Chivalry,” by Q-eo.
S 5. Barnes. It was well received, as was manifested
toy the frequent applause.
“ Katas’ 1 was the subject of an able production
toy Hugh J. McLaughlin, It was not only unexcep*
tfonablein matter, nut satisfactory in its delivery.
In the opening he advened to the sensations which
the mtaa experienced iu the contemplation of the
decayed monuments of ancient glory, and how cue
turns from the rudeness of dilapidated scenery to
2he contemplation of the men and the nations of;
old. Kuins ennoble a land by their recollections
they chasten the present, by reminding us of the
virtues and glories of the past. The sentiment of
wasiiiustrated.
In gazing, he aaio, upou me ruins of even the home
Of C*ur childhood, will not the heart quicken and the
ey* grew moist l When, however, they point out
the character or a nation, the rise and fall of its li
todticss, they become uoubly endearing* They con*
arcr&tfe the land to virtue acd freedom, and wtad
around it the flaming sword of destruction. The
Italian gazes upon the souvesiire of his ancient sires.
And is r* minded of the time when hia country’s war
rior carried hia country** banner over every land,
and the voice of his counfry’s orator was heard in
2he foium, swaying the aoula of men and guiding the
nation through the mazes of diplomacy. [Applause.]
The Greek sees bt-foie him tne remains of the learn*
tag and arts of the past, and the inspiration of
freedom again impels.him onward in the path of
libeity. The Switzer kneels at the shrine where,
ta other days, knelt the patriot Tell, and the
nail forgotten lesson of patriotism becomes stamped
upon his mind in letters of living fire. By the
TUir.ed homestead, ia full view of the graves of the
murdered patriots, the Pole swears to be free, and
arms in the holy work of national redemption.
The round towers of Ireland point to the time when
her kings, with tbe standard of green unfurled, led
♦he Ked Branch Knights to danger, ere the emerald
gem o! the western world was set in the crown of
the stranger, and, sustained by the recollections of
the past, by their hopes of tbe future, by the memo
ries of six hundred years of oppression, her sons
proclaim that the heart of Old Brin yet beats with
the waim pulse of nationality [applause]: that she
wiii yet rise, phccnix like, from her ashes; that the
sunbtam will yet abed ire protecting light over faith
and learning, and that the native green shall yet
wave in triumph o’er the foreign red. The American
gazes upon the ruins of that epoch, where his sires,
animated by the same thought, inflamed by thesame
ardent patriotism, and guided by the genius, the en
thusiasm, the heroism of Jefferson, Henry, and
■Wd-ESuagton, drove tbe minions of tyranny from
ahefr shores, and established a government which,
while holding forth the arm of protection to the
oppressed of all lsnds, defies the hand of time or the
puny efforts of rebellion.
The next address was the honorary, delivered by
Kobert K. Kennedy. Subject—The American Ho-
SuWlo. His picture of the future of the Union was
ighly colored, but it is to be hoped events will fully
justify it. J
{Roving aegieea were then conferred by L.
B. Fletcher, ex- President of the Board of control •

The Season of ]jent.—The Lenten sea
son, whioh was U'hexed in on Wednesday, will coa
fortrdaysdujiDgwhich a solemn fait is ob-
StZTCd by the Catholic Churob, which is also kepi
Jrith toaer severity by the Protestant Episcopa
lians ; the other Protestant bodies do not, as a rule,
pay speoial deference to the period, and reject the
practice of fatting as a ceremony not necessary to be
observed. The period when the observance of tbe
Lenten season was first enjoined i-» lost in obsourity.
The Oatbolio and Greek Churches claim that the
fartof forty days was instituted soon after the death
Of Christ, while others assert that it has a much
later origin. In the earlier ages the fast extended
over a pexiodof seventy days, whence our Latin term,
Scptuagesima —seventy days before; this was com
memorative of the seventy years’ captivity of tbe
Jews. It was subsequently fixed at forty days, iu
consonance with the forty days during which Jesus
fasted in the wilderness, and the forty years 1 wan
dering ol the Jews.
Whatever be the opinion entertained*.with, regard
to the obligation, there are few but concede that the
time of Easter, on which this depems, was for along
time unsettled, and there is little doubt that astro
nomical vagaries had more weight in fixing the era
than chronological data. The word “ Easter” is of
Saxon origin, coining from a root signifying “to
rice,” whence the wozds, Eaet, the point of the sun’s
rising, Eastra, the goddtsa of coming light, Yeast, a
rising leaveo, &c.; and Easter is the time when the sun
crosses the equinoctial and rises into the summer ae
ml-circle. The very sameporeion of the year was that
chosen for celebrating the Passover by the Jews, and
in the age of its institution the “ Paschal Lamb” of
the Zodiac lay on tbe 11 door-post” or entrance to the
superior semi-circle: it was thus they celebrated
the ‘'pfttsibg over” Jordan contemporaneously
with the passage of the sun over the equlaoctlal
line, or his transit out of the Egyptian bondage of
Winter, when the land and rivers are bound up with
frosts, into the happy Canaan where bis strengthened
beams cause the land to overflow with milk and
honey. The early Christians being lost in doubt as
to the exaot period of the Crucifixion, naturally fell
back on the Passover epoch as presenting a fitting
natural analogy. For the forty days of fasting we
have originally a physical cause. Before the in
troduction of agricultural labors, men were prin
cipally dependent, during the winter season, on the
results of the chase or the fishery. In the Orient
the middle of winter is the rainy season, and
the figure of a man with a watering pot (Aqusrius)
was placed in the heavens by their astronomers,
covering that part of the Zodiac over wbioh
the sun passed during the rainy season. This
was followed by the time for fishing, aod a couple of
fishes were thrown on tbe celestial map to mark
that period. On the Ecliptic those fishes cover Just
the space passed over by the sun in forty days, and
although now, by the procession of the equlaoxes,
that constellation has moved from its former place,
yet at that time the end of the piscatorial space ex
actly came up to the equinoctial colure. Ic was a
beautiful allegory. During those forty days they
had but little fish to subsist upon, and during that
forty days the sun even now moves among, if he
does not subsist on, fish. Whether this be a suffi
cient reason for present day fasting is a question
which must be left for others to decide. Toe rigor
of observance has much moderated in these latter
days. Formerly everything in the shape of flesh or
its products was abjured, and some of the most rigid
abstained even from fish, though that was never
proscribed by the canons of the church.
The late Captain William C. Moss.—
Intelligence reached the city yesterday of the death
of this young and gallant officer, at Washington.
He was a youcg gentleman and lawyer of great
ability and promise, and his many good qualities
had drawn round him a large circle of friends, to
whom the news of his decease will be sorrowful
indeed. In 1862 he abandoned tbe practice of his
profession and attached himself to tbe 119th Regi
ment P. V M Colonel Ellmaker, better known as the
Gray Reserves, and recruited a company for that
regiment, which he still commanded at the time of
his death. During the term of hia service ho won
the confidence and esteem of Ms brother officers as
well as enlisted men, and the loss will be deeply felt
by them. He was with his regiment during all its
severe campaigning, and participated in ail the bat
tles fought by it—-escaping the dangers of the battle
field only, alas, to fall a victim to disease, brought
on by tbe severe toil and exposure they had been
subjected to previous to and after the battle of Get
tysburg. Last summer, while detailed here to take
charge of drafted men, be became very ill, and, be
fore being entirely restored to health, hastened back
to bis command, where he was shortly afterwards
again prostrated by illness, never again to recover.
Thus htCw passed away a scholar, a soldier, and a
patriot.
Official Order.— The following official
order was issued yesterday, from the headquarters
of tbe military commander, in Girard street:
Headquarters Military Commander,
Philadelphia, February u, is 64,
General Orders No, 3.
A parade of all troops attached to this post will be
had on the 22d day of February, In commemoration
of the birthday of Washington. The commanding
officers of all State and city military organizations,
and of the veteran regiments in and near the city
who are willing to unite with their commands in
such parade, are requested to report to Captain Hal
dem&n, Assistant Adjutant General, at tbe head
quarters, No. 1125 Girard street, before the 17th taat.
By command of Brigadier General O. S. Terry.
CYRUS A, H&LDEMAN,
Assistant Adjutant General,
The 25th Begiment T 7. S. Colored
Tr.oors.—This regiment, now at Camp Wm. Penn,
was filled yesterday to one thousand men. This is
the fifth regiment recruited by the Supervisory
Committee of tide city, and like the 22d, which lelt
here on Wednesday last, waa raiaed in thirty days.
One hundred men, mustered In at Wilmington,
liel., will arrive at headquarters, No, 1210 Chestnut
street, to-day, and be sent to Camp Wm. Penn, as
the first company of the 32d U. S. Colored Troops.
A full company of - tbe 25ih Begiment is now in
Delaware, marching through the Slate, picking up
recruits, who are sent to Wilmington, to be mus
tered in. The first few days they have sent up one
hundred and fifty volunteers. They expect to get a
full regiment from that State.
Abbival of Soldiers.—The 94tfi Regi
ment New York Volunteers, numbering 129 men.
under the command of Lieutenant Isaac Doolittle!
arrived in this city from Washiningtos, yesterday,
on their way to New York. Before leaving they
received a bountiful supply of good living at the
Cooper Shop Refreshment Saloon. This saloon, in
conjunction with the Union Volunteer, have been
active in their exertions to provide for the wants of
the soldiers as they pass through our city. When a
regiment arrives each saloon tvkes an equal number
of the men, except occasionally one may get a com
pany more. They need to be sustained, and it re
mains with our citizens whether such shall be the
case.
Coroner’s Inquest. Coroner Taylor
held an Inquest, yesterday, at the Episcopal Hospi
tal, on the body of a lad whose name is supposed to
be Charles D. Barclay. He was run over on the
Trenton Railroad near Bristol Station. He had on
dark clothe*, and a ticket was found iu hia pocket
to convey him through to Baltimore. From papers
found, he is supposed to belong to Watertown, Jef
ferson county, N. Y., and was on the way to visit
his father, Robert Barclay, a member of Company
A, 16th Artillery Regiment, now stationed at York
town, Va. A verdict of aceident&i death was ren
dered.
A Handsome Picture.— Mr. Charles
Baum has prepared au elegant lithograph, in colors,
representing the reception of the 29’h Veteran Begi
ment in Philadelphia, Deo. 2Sd, 1863. The aoene is
the vicinity of the Cooper Shop Soldiers’ Home. It
is a lively and suggestive picture. The (ale of it is
intended for the benefit of the Home, and the pic

THE POLICE.
- CBeforeHr. Alderman McGaiien. 3
United states Detective Bound Over.
A man giving the name or Charles Keok had a
final hearing yesterday afternoon, on the charge of
conspiracy to cheat and defraud, to run tbe blockade,
Ac. Mr. White appeared for the Common
wealth, and Mr. Jas. G. Vandyke for the defence.
The defendant made application for a oontiuuanoe
of the case, as his counsel was absent. He made this
on the ground that the prosecution the day before
was favored with a continuance upon request.
The alderman;replied that the prosecution made
no request of the kind; that the oonttnuance was
Ranted upon application made by letter, by Mr.
Gustavus Bemak, counsel for defence.
v® Prisoner started the plea of injustice, to force
the hearing in the absence of his counsel.
The alderman said that so far as the preliminary
proceedings are concerned, he would take care that
no Injustice should be done to either party. He did
not (eel disposed to postpone the ease without legal
came. There Is a witness present, all the way from
Germantown, and It is rather annoying to bring
him here day after day, elmply because counsel is
not present. Besides this, from a remark made by
Mr. Vandyke, at the last hearing, it would seem as
though he did not intend to be present.
The defendant said that he would like the ease to
go over until to-morrow.
Well, Gapt. Segebarth cannot be here to-morrow,
and he has some additional evidence to give la.
The defendant finally said: Well, let the case pro
ceed.
. Gapt. Segebarth, on being recalled, was frequested
to State his additional evidenoe: On one occasion
Mr. Keek met me on Library street, opposite the
United States Court, an* he told me if I did not
keep quiet he would blow my brains out; he said
that onager could be made use of as a tool; that we
could make use of him; at the time he (defendant)
said he would blow my brains out, he placed his
hand upon a pistol in his bosom, but did not draw
the weapon out; tbit was after the lots of the
steamer; It was reported to me that—
Here the defendant objected, that he did not de
sire hearsay evidence.
The alderman sustained the objection. Cross-ex
amination, oondneted by defendant;
Question. Captain, did you not say to me in Li
brary street, when United States Marshal Sharkey
wae on the opposite of the way, that if the matter
would pay better by running the blockade or selling
the vessel In South America, you would do either 1
Anawer. That Is the very thing you proposed to
do; this is the very question you put to me.
Q. Did you not lay that you bould get a steamer
and sell her and the cargo in South America! .
A. I did not.
Q. Did you not know that I was a detective at
tee time of this conversation, and did not you and
Stuck go to my superior officer, Wm. H. Sherman!
Shennant What Sherman do you mean 1” in
quired Mr. White, the lawyer, “is he the one that
was in the counterfeit business!”
“It is so reported,” replied the witness, “ but I
know nothing of that.” ”
Question by defendant. Did you not say that the
people who shipped the goods were to be cheated,
and I said ’
Here the counsel for proseoutlon Interposed * n d
said the defendant had no right to ask questions hi
that manner.
The magistrate remarked to the wltneaa that he
should confine bis questions to the examination in
chief.
Witness replied teat he had no farther questions'
to tski
Cant. J. Beeside White sworn.—l had some con
versation with Keck in reference to a polioy
of Insurance; he said teat he and John Sharkey
(U. s. Deputy Marshal) had ths matter in hand,
and were engaged In procuring evidence to break tee
policy because of muse fraud.
Orosa-examinatlon by defendant:
Q. Did yon hear me say that it wa* intended to
break the policy Illegally, and did I not say that we
were paid for gathering evidence In the matter!
Counsel for prosecution objected, that suoh a
oourse was simply making evidence for himself.
The aMetgWw sustained tee objection,
Ko-exatainatlon. Did Keck say he bad received !
any money t
A.' Ves, efr ; I understood him to say that he had
received $2OO or $2OO for himielfand Sharkey to
PM' expenses backwards and forwards.
Q,. Do you know that Sharky denies the transac
tion!
A. I do not.
Q. Do yon believe they wore in partnership in the
business t
A. From what Keok satd I supposed that it waa
a partnership business between them.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. Vandyke,
counsel for the delence, arrived, when the following
occurred:

Larceny nt Sugar.
William Robinson (colored) and Anthony Tuoher
(white) were bound orar yesterday afternoon ia the
sum of $l,OOO each to answer the oharge of the lar
ceny of about forty pound* of sugar, the property of
Jane* Webb, grocer. It seem* that on Wednesday
night ( fficer Smith, of the Third division, observed
Robinson at Fourth and Walnut streets, having on
his shoulder a bag containing the sugar. On being
accosted, be could not give a satisfactory account
oJlthG He tr«u? taken to the station-houße.
Here he stated that the sugar was given to him by
Anthony Tucber, employed in the store of Mr.
Webb. Mr. Webb identified the sugar, and Tucher
was taken into custody, and a flail hearing of the
case took place at two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Robinson, on being questioned, said “that Tucher
handed it to him from the cellar, and told him to
take it to bis (Tuoher'*) home.
‘’Where does Tuoher livet” asked the alderman.
“ In Juniper street,” replied Roblmon.
11 Then why did you go down Walnut street, from
Eighth to Fourth, to reaoh Juniper street t” inquired
the magistrate.
“Tuoher told me to get on the ear at Fourth
street, then go to South, and then go out South
street to Juniper, In the ear.”
Tucher denied all knowledge of the transaction..
Mr. Webb testified that he had missed things from
the store, but oould not tell how they were taken
away.
The magistrate, under these eireumatances, con
sidered it neoessary to return both defendants to
court for final adjudication*
“ All's Well that Bads Well.»
A few day* since we noticed the fact that a swind
ling subcontractor had vamosed, leaving unpaid a
e umber of women who had done work lor him. The
employers of the contractor had their attention
called to the affair by Police Magistrate White, to
whom complaint had been made by four of the ope
ratives. One of the firm called upon the official dig
nitery yesterday afternoon and stated that he had in
bis possession the sum of about thirteen dollar* be
longing to the sub-contractor. Tbe bills claimed by
the women only amounted to sl2—as follows: Sa
rah McCann, $4 94; Louisa McGee, *2.10; Kate
McElwee, $1 66; Jane Meyers, $3 30 The posie*
sor of the treavure bifurcated the required amount,
the women were paid, and went their way rqjoioing.

Further Hearing.
Dennis Shay had a further hearing yesterday, at
the Central Station, on the charge of the larceny of
a watch, the property of Captain Elliott. An addi
tional witness was examined, who testified that on
the night of the robbery be caw the prisoner and
another person in company with a soldier, whom
they supposed was an officer. The aeeused was held
for another hearing.
The Great Conspiracy Case.
The parties charged with conspiracy had a private
beating at the Central Station yesterday. This
afi'air, as we learn, relates to business transactions
extending back for a year or more, Q,ulte a num
ber of business men and firms are interested in it.
Its developments perhaps would be Interesting to the
mercantile community generally, bat, for prudential
reasons, it is considered necessary to keep them pri
vate.
THE COURTS.

lor plaintiff, $210.12. .
Both Distriot Courts, having concluded their lists
for the period, adjourned.
Court of Quarter Sessfons-Judge Ludlow.
A Case tried in this Court yesterday shows that
punishment is made sometimes to follow swiftly on
the heels of the commission of crime. On Tuesday,
a lady named Morris, a resident of Ohio, was pass
ing through the city, In a passenger car from the
Kensington depot, when her pocket-book was stolen
from her pocket. She soon discovered her loss, and
announced the fact. A man named Thomas Mullen
was arrested upon the spot on suspicion of having
committed the robbery, and the money was found
upon his person. On Wednesday the Grand Jury
returned an indictment against him, andloa yesterday
he was tried and convicted, and sentenced to an im
prisonment of eighteen months. It sometimes,
though rarely, oocurs that the perpetration of an of
fence and punishment therefor, is accomplished
within the short space of three days, as is the case
in this Instance.
The other cases disposed of presented nothing or
interest,
