The closing exercises of the Bolivar Male Academy, which took place last Tuesday and Wednesday, passed off credibly to all concerned. On Thursday following, the young folks engaged themselves at a grand picnic at Dunlap Springs.

We are reliably informed that Rev. W. C. GRAY, the talented and highly esteemed principal of the Bolivar Female Academy, will soon relinquish the senior chair of that excellent institution of learning. The high and holy duties incumbent upon him as a teacher of Holy Writ are such as to engage his entire time and preclude all minor engagements. We have not been apprised of the name of the person who is to succeed the reverend gentleman who retires at the close of the present session, though of one thing we do feel assured, and that is, that it will be fortunate for this community if a peer of the present Principal can be engaged to take charge of the Academy.

The Spring session of this excellent school will commence on the 5th of February next. Parties who contemplate patronising this school, would do well to read the advertisement of the Principal, which we print in another column. The Board of Directors are R.H. WOOD, President; J.C. FLEMING, Secretary; Hugh HARKINS, Treasurer; J.H. NEILSON and Dr. A.A. COLEMAN; and the exercises of the school will be presided over by J. Milton HUBBARD, Principal, and Austin M. STATLER, assistant. It will be seen from this arrangement that the Bolivar Male Academ yis in a floursighing condition, and there is no doubt but what it will be well attended by the youths of Hardeman and adjoining counties.
