The annual examination and exhibition OF this Semi
nary have again taken place, and worthy of the
high reputation which the Academy has steadily
maintained, for nearly seventy years. Few semnaries
of its class, in New England, have so able corps of
instructors give so decisive proof Of correct and
faithful teaching.
The examination occupied the whole of Wednesday
last, and followed by the exhibition the next day.
The exercises such occasions, have for number of
years, been introduced by address from gentle
man, who had been formerly connected with the Acad
envy, either as an instructor as a pupil AT the re-
cent exhibition, the address from the Rev. DIR.
Thompson of Salem, who, in his introductory remarks,
very happily alluded to his duty, pupil, the
same spot, and like occasion nearly thirty years
ago.
The subject of his address was, 'sTHe Education Of
the Conscience, and the character of It did honor both

The performances by the students highly cred

were manly in thought, and the of their delivery
gave promise of future excellence. The most striking
fault of the exhibition, was its length-a failing
easily pointed than remedied. Perhaps, in this age
of discovery and invention, way Of shortening what
nearly all desire TO have abbreviated will be found
1t must be gratifying to many, scattered all parts
Of the country know that this Time honored Semina
ry has not only maintained its useful character but kept
pace in Improvement with the advancing claims of the
age. Its charter granted in the spring of 1854,
and thus bears nearly date with the acknowledge
ment of American Independence by the of Great
Britain. 1t was among the first fruits Of peace, and
the commanding object of its founders that time Of
poverty and self sacrifice was, to perpeuate by a
sound and practical education, those high moral senti-
mens, for which they and their fathers had struggled
this continent, for hundred and sixty years Most
of its founders lived to witness the extensive
usefulness of the Academy, and the respect it had
cured wherever it was known. They too prac,i-
cay wise mistake the show Of education for its sub
stance and therefore their work has endured All of
them have, for many years. slept with their fathers
while their children, and their chdrens children have
enjoyed the fruit of their labor, and continued to witness
the constant usefulness and growing advantages Of the
