steamboat Thomas Jefferson for "Kennard's
Landing" the spot selected for the celebration
of the eighth anniversary Of the Monumental
Lyceum-an institution that has become quite
a feature in the history of our city. The trip
down was of the most pleasant characteristic

make the hours ego swiftly by" AS soon as
the boat touched the wharf in cold Kent tho
company, preceded by the VoLANprs and a
deputation from their excellent Band, directed

music having ceased, WILLIAM JOHNSON, ESQ,
the President of the Lyceum, dismissed the
company until 8 o'clock, at which hour they
re-assembled and listened to recitations by
Messrs. VIM CRAIG, SAMUEL S. Mills,
THOMAS CAMPBELL, JOSEPH RODGERS, and
others. The interval between the forenoon
and afternoon exercises was spent around u
number of tables spread in the wood in true
pic-nic-idn style. When the afternoon exer-
cises were brought to a close the party sepa-
rated in every direction to Join in favofite
sports-of which there were not few. Chief
among these was the dance, in which large
Number participated. When the sun had we'll

safely landed at their homes. The Committee
of Arrangements deserve great praise for their |
liberal management, as TO these gentlemen
