JANE, GORDON BENNErT-
DEAR SR:-
You have had number of letters lately from this
place, and may thin. presumption for any new
correspondent expect you Will notice any farther
communicate from bur u; there has bsena
number ofimporau race lately, which
will no doubt be We. ., 10 your readers 40
well as yourself.
We have in the first place just got through with
our annual commencement OF the The illogical Scrul-
nary 1t was a very interesting affair." the exercises
commenced on Monday, and We have had lots OF
good sermons from reverend diylnes, well written
essays from young students, fine staging by the well
trained choir, and lengthy pray ers from the Truly
oious and also we have been honored by the pre-
sence Of the celebrated HISTORIAN Bishop, hler o.
hannah, who has produced wonderful sensation
amongst the deDIzeus OF old Cayuga Tor 10 nave
Persian and bishop, dressed IN the eCceslaitical
robes OF the HISTORIANS, and delivering speeches IN
native tongue, Is rather an extraordinary event
IN the region Of the country. Mar 1ohannan de-
ivered AN Grafton this evening at the Second Pres
oyterian Church the house was filled, and all ale
delighted with him. The young ladies are IN rap
lures with his fine beard anu mustachios. They
want TO know whether he Is married, and all de-
clare that they will have him, so, General, If you
see him coming back to New York with fine Ha-
rem, you must not be astonshed We hsve fine
theological institution here. There was about 20
graduates: some will go on foreign missions, some
stay at home and feed the pigs till they get chance
to PREACH some go as moral reform agents. and some
to get married. BY the by, that puts me in mind that
we had quite little affair in that line, which is Just
developed
A student has been paying attentions to one
Of our young ladies' of about seventeen years Of age
-. Il. Il Il. l.. L..
TO her about three weeks 1t is against the rules of
the seminary tor any OF the students TO be married
whilst members of the institution, and her father
was opposed to the match. Things locke ed despe-
rate, bur faint heart never won fair lady, so he
made arrangements and was privately married at
The house OF a friend took her home, and all things
went as usual till yesterday, when the affair
found out. Her parents were perfectly thunderstruck.
and Immediately locked her up, and refuse 10 let
them have any communication with each other
Her father declared vengeance against him.
DR.. Bennett, 1t is strange pass the world is
coming to, when even young divines infringe
upon the laws of hospitality and decorum in such a
manner. ] think it is mainly attributable to their
not reading your valuable paper. The Herald
ought to be in the hands OF every father of fam-
Iy, and such cases would be rare We all of US are
aware that as the Herald increases in circulation,
folies of that kind and vices OF every description
have rapidly diminished. DR.. Bennett hope you
will continue the self same track, and every
honest heart will say, God speed you" The
young ladies of Auburn are very much interested in
your paper, and they say that il bad that you
don't visit this place, as they want to see you very
much Your flying visit OF last year they think was
quite slight, before they had time TO get peep
IL you "the bird was flown" So / don't see any
other way for you TO act, but to up here, and
make the acquaintance of our Auburn adies-for
Instance, Miss c. s., who has combined the wis
dom of an Aspasia and the beauty OF Phrysce,
with all the GOODNESS of Penelope, tor her suiors--
she can both fair and friendly be,
Beware--beware,
Trust her not
She is fooling thee"
Then there are the beautiful Misses 6, with eyes
Of liquid light; forms and features which Venus
might rival but could not excel (They are en-
paged) And then away in the west, on the glorious
bill side, is Miss j., The peerless beauty, the
mighty minstrel OF the north says
And ne'er did Grecan chisel trace,
Anymph, naiad, or grace,
SO fine form, so far face"
And again
"a hesr Light, step more true,
Meier {, ON the heah-lower dashed the dew
But Or. Bennett, must g wind up" with thou
sand excuses for trsspasslng your time, and
hoping you will be satisfied with my first and only
effort, Remain, your friend,
