Visitors The examination OF the stu

thorough and analytical, rejecting the
highest credit upon the ability and accom-

War Ill. And what beautiful sight
it was beautiful, not merely in the com.
mon acceptation OF NE term, but in the
higher moral sense. A field of intellect
was before us, exhibiting the fruits of rich
and assduous cultivation. The boy in
years was a man in maturity of mind and

turned to the faultlesS teacher and own the
debt of gratitude eternal. Already is Mon
trose classic ground; already has she sent
forth germs ofmind that, in their full bios

heard even whisper ofopposition, and it
would not much enhance our opinion of

and public spirit as TO oppose
my institution of learning. If there is in.

ordinary observers.
The ensuing session of the Academy
will commence on the first Monday in
October next with the most fattering
