Exbibitios at Wilkinsburq Acadbmt.— The students at Witkinsburg Aeademy, together with their leaohers, Messrs. F. W. Hastings, Princi pal, and Mr. J. B. Kiddo, Assistant, and tho friends of both pupils and teachers bad a most excellent time on Wednesday night. Every thing had been well prepared for tho occasion, which, in fact, .was the conclusion of the winter term. The Academy building was boantifally decorated and adorned with ovorgreens, and i ouog s Brass Band, procured from the city, to enliven the occasion with appropriate music. On Tuesday evening Rev. W A. Passavaul delivered an address before the young men of the Academy and their friends. The house was full. Some vicious boys, the like of whom may be found in all villages, were so ungracious and reckless as to congregate about the building outside and disturb Mr. P. by shouts aod yells. The people there, who are of the very highest respectability aud who know what belongs to good manners and hospitality as well as any it hw ever been our good fortune to meet, were notified very muoh at this, although they were not at all to blame for what a few unruly bovs had dooe. Nevertheless, they determined on Wednesday that they would leave no opening for any unnecessary demonstrations of tho sort.— They therefore procured officers Wray and Rich ardson of this city to preside about the. door outside, and our readers may rest assured “that order reigned in Warsaw.” PITTSBURGH, PA. s z. I w As we have remarked above, it was the occa sion of the closing of the winter term, aod as is onstomary on suoh occasions, there was a con test for the palm of literary merit between the yonog gentlemen of the American and Plaionian Societies, both of which aro connected with the school. The judges chosen by the yonng men, wero the Rev. Mr. Findley, of the Sixth Pres, byterlan Church of (bis city, and our friend E. H. Stowe, Esq , of tho law firm of Stowe &, Hampton. The teachers selected such an urn pire as they pleased, and so all was ready for the ooutesl. The exercises oftheeveoiog were opened with i prayer by Rev. Mr. Carotbers, after which.came select orations. A young gentleman, Mr. 0. K. Horner, of Wilkinstmrg, son of John Ilorocr Esq ,so l ( ong in the Clerk’s office at the Court House, hffd been appointed aod prepared himself to deoiaiffi the piece called “The Ursa Major,”, but be was sick, and his place was filled by Master J. P. Scott, who spoke an extract from an oration on Lafayette. Ho was a little em barrassed by the multitude of bright eyes that looked at him, for the house was crammed in every part, and a very large majority of tho audience wero fiue looking young ladies. Mast. B. Wilson contested against Scott This is a son of Dr. Wilson, of East Liberty, and he is oue of the most promising boys we ever saw on the stage. His enunciation was admirable, aod to him was awarded tho honor in the con test between the first speakers, by the unani mous voice of the judges. Young’s Band then sprinkled the bouse with some of their sweetest music, after which, Mr. F. G. Craighead, of Swissvale, declaimed Em mett’s Appeal. He scarcely did himself 1 jastice, for he has in him the making of a fine speaker. Master J H. Woodwelt, son of Mr. Woodwell furniture dealer of this city, (Leo took the stand and spoke a “Fourth of July” oration He is a spirited and sensible little fellow not more than 14 years of age, and, though bis piece was too long, he carried himself through it like a man and received the award of honor. ’ Then followed the Essays. Mr. J. Soyder of Westmoreland, read an essay on “Mind " which of course was 100 broad a eubjecl for the occ* J.OD, aod wa. iraaiad only i„ . Dau ,, r kfLP-Ponflned each subject e fdrraovtinsija, because they ere so broad, and because they beget a loose and general mode of expression. Mr. Snyder made ns much oat of it, in the time allotted to him, as could bare been expected For this honor, Mr. 0. A, eon of Henry Cbalfanl, Esq., of Turtle Creek, contested in an oration on Thermopylw, and to him the judges awarded the honor. He has a fine voice and a pleasing manner. After “Music,” the original orations came on. Mr. L. R. Melxgar, of Westmoreland, pronounced on oration called -‘The Rubicon ” Ii was well conceived. He depleted Crosar as be paced the banks of.* the stream, pausing for the final re solve, and then planging In to the conquest of his own country. “So,” exclaimed thespeaker, **ie there a Rubicon in the life of every man j a Hoe on the crossing of which be stakes bis des tiny.” This was the thought that run through the piece. The ohj'eetioo was tbat he made biß oration too long. Witb him contested W. B Elder, of Elwood Farm, in an oration that was very ingenious and quite full of fresh and original thought on a nation’s “Monuments.'' The honors were di vided between these two. Mr. J. G. Haymaker, of Manor Dale, in an oration entitled “Monitors,” and Mr. J. T. Chal fant, in an oration ou “The Legal Profession,” npxt contested. The soales hang even bcLween them. The former excelled in expression, the latter in oratory ; one>had perhaps the greatest breadth of thought, the other the greatest viva city. The hooors were divided again here. Chalfant was the better speaker of tne two. The interest of the evening however, centered □poo the discussion of the question—“ Should Infidel Publicatioos&e Prohibited, by Law ?” The affirmative was sustained by Mr. A. C. Pat terson, of Mercer Co., and the negative by Mr. J. Duff, of this county. There was o vast amount of labor appareol in both these efforts. Thd study and thonght necessary to prepare the arguments were more than one lawyer In fifty oondensea in bis brief. Mr. Patterson spoke with force, but got a UUIo mixed up among “minoraud major.” Doff cleared np his gronnd like an old debator, set aside all the surplusage, and, with-a good deal of sound argument mixed a little sophistry. He however received the honor of excellence, and thus, at a late honr the exercises closed. We learned after it was ail over that the American Society were a little tbo winners. ,-The announcement of the judges’ do ' cision, brought dpwn the house. After it was all over, the contestants invited the judges and others to a splendid repast, which concluded at about midnight, wheo all went'home very well content. The Academy is ad honor to the village of Wilklnsborg, A good school is Always adc] every where, in the city or oat of it, a ceolre of good And healthful Influence. It is tbe one thing that often causes a good man to abide or eetlle in a place, because there is a good school. We trust the people may continue lo oherish it aod at tbe next literary contest may we be tbero again to pee. Adjourhkd.— Tbe Noon-day Prayer Meeting which has been kept up for several months past, first io Maaonio flail and more recently in the Methodist Protestant Churoh, Fifth street, yes terday adjourned tine die. The allondanoe had dwindled down to thirty or forty per day. Tbo ChHstiaa Association, under whose auspices these meetings have been held, have incurred an indebtedness of about one hundred dollars, for the steal] bat necessary expenses connected with tbe meetings, which sum appears likely lo fall upon a few, very few, liberal-minded pereone. Under these circumstances tbe meeting ceased yesterday, amidst expressions of eorrow by those present. Tbe uoon-day prayer meetings io Allegheny city aro continued with increasing interest, and also tho morning and evening meejiogs elsewhere. Tni Übited Prxsbttsrzab Semihart.— The U. P. Theological Seminary, of Allegheny, has [ust closed an interesting session. Tbe faculty, Drs. Pressly, Clarke and Kerr, conducted tbe examination in a satisfactory manner. Forty seven' stndents have been in attendance—a larger comber than at any one session hereto fore. Six persons were examined by tbe Board, preparatory to their expected licensure, and were certified to their respective Presbyteries: Messrs. Thomas Andrews, Thomas F. Baird, S. C. Ewing, J. Mw-Jamison, Joseph H. Timmons and J. L. Whittle. Tm Franklin Literary Sooiety, whose mem bers are the stndents at tbe Western University, held its first public exhibition lost evening, at Lafayette Hall. Tonog’s Brass Bond made tbo music for the occasion, aod a fine large audienoe was present. Tho proceeds are to be devoted to tbs purebaso of a library, and we trust a hand some sum was realised. Tho Society waa estab lished In November last, and now numbers 23 members. We wero called away, so that we did not hear the exercises of the oocasion, but the programme promised well.

We are informed that the facta in the case are as fol low: On Ibe Gth of May, 1851, a contract was made _ by the Sharp9borg -Bridge Co. with Mr. s w. Hall, of Philadelphia, to build the said bridge. It is 911 feet in length, and was built according to Hall’s plan. He was to bo paid per lineal foot j $2l, payments to be made monthly on the work done, in proportion to the value of the whole bridge, the Compaoy retaining 15 per cent. Of the monthly estimate. The Company was to have the piers ready for the superstructure on (he Ist of September, 1851. In pursuance of Ibe con* tract, Hall went bn to the ground at-that time as he alleges, with timber and bands to pnt up . the bridge. The masons were not thou ready?" l Theplaioliff alleges that the company neglected to prepare the piers and abutments until the Spring of 1855. In the said Spring thoy prom* i iscd to proceed and furnish the masonry without delay. The plaintiff alleges (hat he was ready in May and June to go on with (he work, had large amounts of timber and men ou hand, and that the Company foiled to complete the masonry daring the business season. la (ho summer of 1855, the plaintiff, having been delayed as he alleges, mode complaint to the Company, and threatened to abandon the work. The President promised that if Hall-wonld go on, and keep ac count of the damages which ho bad : suffered, he would pay him, and to pay the estimates as they might fall dne. Daring (he eammer of 1855, the work was continued with a reduced force. At the close of tho working sea* son of 1855, (bo bridge was nearly ready to put up, and up to November, 1855, tho masonry was not ready. Duriog tho winter of 1855 and ’5O tho plaintiff refused to go on with tho work,' unless tho Company would prepare tho masonry and secure him. On the Bth of February 185 G the parties met and entered into articles of agreement in which the company agreed to com plete the masonery within three months, and pay phff. within six months after tho bridge was roady for use, $2l per lineal foot, in oash, or $26 in stock with interest. By this agreement on the Bth day of May, the masonry was to b« in such a oondition that the bridge coaid be put ap. Tho masonry waß not ready as is alleged ootil June 15(h, 185(3, and but for this delay the work of erecting tho bridge might hare began on the 25th of May. During Ibe month of May, owiog to high water, one of the abutmeuls fcli dowo, but the phff. continued working on the bridge till Sept. 2G, when tho company took ebargo of tho bridge and have had it ever since receiving lolls. Oo the 27th. of March 1867, the compaoy as is alleged, became liable to pay* the pltff. for the bridge, but did not. Some lime prior to tbisiheoompaoy made a tender of stock in payment for the construction of bridge which phff. declined accepting. This action Is brooghl to recover the price of the bridge in cash. The sum in controversy amounts to $-10 • 000. For pltff. Hon. Chas. Shaler, and Messrs. Stowe and Hampton. For deft. Geo P. Ham ton, Esq Homs TamihoMr. Mellon invited us to come around to Patterson's Stable yesterday, and see him tame a Tlcioos horse. We went aroond. A gentleman had placed in bis hands a finely shaped, fierce eyed, clean-limbed, black horse, 0/ fine action and great spirit, which he (the owner) said was a very wicked croaturc in the way of kicking; that he would send a buggy spioning Info the air, like a lop, if you would only give him a chance. v The horso was in the circle under the stable. Several persons were there, who arc taking les sons of Mr Mellon. The horso was put under harness and trotted around the ring. That didn’t make him kick. Straps wero then left dangling around his hetls; that did no good. A stick was then tied foas to strikebis heels every lime be stepped, lie wouldn’t kick even then As the horse showed no bad tricks and no desire *• kick, Mr. Mellon bad n<> cure to work upon him He showed however, bow ho would have dooe, bad it been necessary.
