The Latin Salutatory address then delivered by W.
EyEKGoN sa1u, Of his city VII" greeted at its ter
mination With shower of bouquets. Whether this
intended mark OF the Ia which they held him
personally or MS reward for tn excellence of his ad
dress, We will Lot undertake TO determine We do not
Ike either TO say anything OF te merits OF the prodnc-
ton ourselves fer fear opinion might agree with
theirs We may sats, however that 1t Was wei deliver
ed and well received.
The next was an English salutaorv address, by r. RAW
DON MYERS, of Brooklyn who also received large share
WARREN LOCKWOOD folio ed with an Grafton on self
culture. He commenced by sly ng that erc but lew
men who thought that the germ oe happiness planted
in their breasts must be cultivated. They did not
slider that happiness relative and conditional; they
did not sufficiently feel that happiness existed IN the
harmony between the condition. o. the mind and the cir
eumstances in which placed Music it may be said
pleasant and inspiring; but the deaf do not ex-
perienee any those emotions wh,c arise from hear
ing The society of he learned he regarded as enter
tanning but the uncultNa ed mind found very little
pleasure in it, 1t must be occupied at all lines For
q we'll stored and rightly developed mind there is
q source Of happeess tounn elsewhere, whether
1t be cultivated under the poor mans roof receiving its
6rs lessons from the book OF nature or in the palace Of
king surrounded by all that wealth procure The
reverted to Byron,
Milton, Newton Cowper. Watt, and others, who had
given to society new id.as and lev Inventions In con-
cluop he said there few who endeavoed to Guilt
vae their mental faculties, and who devoted their time
and talents the benefit OF maukind and the glory of
their Maker This gentlemen also retired with many
marks of esteem from his friends
VIM W. STEPHENSON delivered Grafton on Turkey, in
which he took ground in favor OF the alliance of France
and England to preserve her from falling prey to the
Russian Emperor Great reio ms, he said had been made
IN Turkey during the last few years and ne believed that
not invaded she would soon tase hign rank among
civilized nations This grafton delivered in forcble
and effective but think If the orator studied
history little more closely, he would ind much more to
in condemnation than ia praise Of Turkey he should
remember TOO with regard to the alliance between france
and England, that there are many things done in the
name of liberty which are dictated only by policy
and exredency: Mr. Stephenson notwithstanding
his political views, it, however, a great favore
of the ladies if the aInjul Of bouquets which he
carried of may, be eotsiaeGed q true indication
Night review OF the present condition of the
world, to illustrate the point that this is one of the
was passing and new day opening the world.
The events, which like series of Lighthouses along
coast mark the Of history, and ground which
great in clusters arc tho periods in which
every would like TO live and act and To believe
lvfin such period adds great stimulus energy The
cha 4cterstic of this age is that il knows itself; the
Leasing form of civilization Is predominant the

1t would appear from the large member of bouquets
which this young gentleman bore on that they we're not
alEexhausted.
