the children, all of them, are requested to
attend. Thus, while relieved from labor,

A large and respectable assemblage OF citizens
was assembled last evening, to witness the In
teresting ceremony Of comforting the degree of M
d. upon the young gentlemen who, after passing
through long course Of study and pretty severe
examination, have been thought worthy of re-
ceiving diploma. AT an early hour, the College
Hall, In the building In Crosby street, was filled
with large company, among whom were, also, a
great number of ladies. At about O'Clock, the
members of the faculty, the trustees Of the college,
and distinguished vlslters with Dr. A. Fl. Stevens,
in college toga, arrived, and took their seats
upon the elevated platform. Among the gentlemen
present, we noticed Drs. Ludlow, J. M. Smith,,
Cheeseman, Floyd Smith, Buck, Cock, Crosby,
Professors Parker, Gilman, Clark, Watts and
others; DR. Balch, of st. Stephens, also attended,
IN his clerical capacity
The business OF the meeting was opened by
solemn prayer, which was read by DR.. Balch, of
St. Stephens, IN the most dignifed manner, the
audience devouty standing The Secretary of the
College, Dr. Watts, then read, with few appro-
pirate remarks, the names of the gentlemen who
had passed a successful examination, and had
been deemed fit and proper to receive the dignity
and honor OF diploma, M ID from the College.
The following are the names of the gentlemen thus
distinguished by the appreciation aud honors of
