Inc ullnual eNnlOltlOn OF lnls ullne-nOnofeu
institution was held yesterday, in DR.. Nelson's
church. Upon arriving at the church at
9 o'clock, we found it filled with the friends
and patrons of the Academy. The walls
were beautifully decorated with evergreen,
while the portraits of those who have been
the most prominent contributors to the funds
OF the Institution, were hanging around
Among these we noticed those of Col Craft,
Hon. Israel Waters, Hon. Isaiah Thomas,
Hon. Daniel Waldo, aud james Smith, Esq,
of Philadelphia. All of these, with the ex-
ception of the last, have passed away from
among men, but verify their works do praise
them STILL
Among the trustees and visitors upon the
stage, we noticed His Excellency Gov. Wash
burn, Hon. Ebenezer Torrey, of the Council,
Rev. DIR. Hill, of this city, and the Hon.
Stephen Salisbury. The venerable Dr. Nell
son presided.
The annual address was delivered by Dwight
Foster, Esq, of this city.
He spoke of the Importance of preserving
nection with the active duties Of Lie. Eco
rg an nc rs thought, that high attainment in
these is incompatible with success in practical
life. This ought not so to be. Every edu-
Gated man ought to carry with him into life a
love for the studies of his youth. Every one
should aim to be perfect in one branch at
least--so perfect that if all its text books and
all its other votaries were blotted from exist
ence, he could supply the loss to the world
To do this, two things are necessary; first,
determination to forget nothing once acquired;
secondly, resolution, whatever the duties of
the day may be, to set apart an hour fer
study.
Such, in brief, were the sentiments adj
vanced in this excellent address. No one
was wearied by its delivery, and we doubt
not that many went away with the resolution,
that their minds should no longer resemble
the neglected garden SO eloquently portrayed
by the orator.
The exercises on the part Of the scholars
were creditable to themselves and their teach
ers. We could not help noticing, as sign
of the times, that while the strong anti-slavery
sentiments advanced by George II. Miles and
D. w. Haslins, were warmly applapded, the
eulogium upon Clay, Webster, and Calhoun,
by young Torrey, of Fitchburg, though fully
equal to the Others in beauty of style and
grace of delivery, fell cold upon the audience
1t was pleasant to hear the generous senti-
ments advanced by young Greenwood, from
New Orleans. We were very much pleased
with the manly eloquence OF this performance.
The Union would be worth saving, were all
the fathers of the South worthy of such sons
as he
After the exercises, the Psi Epsilon Frater-
nifty had reunion in the Academy Hall. AS
thisi is secret society, we are unable to report
its proceedings. In concluding our report, we
can, but, as in past years, again recommend
old Leicester Academy to the favorable no.
tice Of the community Situated in a town
famous for the purity of its air. and the puri~
ty of its morals, we know Of no better place
for the training ofthe young. Success attend
it in the future as i'll the past.

A gentleman from Manchester assures us of
the truth of tie following statement An
Irishman in our informant's employ recently
discovered in the neighborhood of that city a
rattlesnake, five and half feet in length, and
having ten rattles. Pat, with more courage
than wisdom, sprang upon his snakeship, and
grasping it by its neck, bore it in triumph to
a flour barrel, in which he deposited it
Having taken it to his house, he let it loose
in close room. After time he entered the
room, and again seized it in his hands and
carried it unframed to a show box prepared

concerning the constitutionality of the bonn

this we cannot doubt where does it find au-
thorty on which to sustain its action Is the
President authorized to make war; Is it his
option even when assisted by the combined
saSacity OF his counsellors And more es-
pecially, is it optional with him to burn and
destroy, when the property thus DESTROYED is
in the bona. fde possession of American, French
and English subjects? Does the constitution
confer upon his Excellency the right which
has in this case been arrogatedf We humblv
think not, and it will be matter of some
dlthculty to reconcile the principles of strict
construction, which the Cabinet avow, with
this gratuitous and arbitrary assumption of a
power imperial in its scope and exercise.

FIRE IN THE WooDs-Loss OF LIrE.-A
correspondent of the Albany Register writes
from Mooers, Clinton Co., n. Y, as follows:
"The fire is raging in this town to an I'M
precedented extent. There having been no
rain here of any consequence for the last six
weeks, the whole surface of the ground forms
but a mass of combuston-readily ignited.
A strong westerly wind is not only driving the
flames with great rapidity through the forests
which surround us, but the fire sweeps over
the standing grass and grain in its destructive
course The number of rods of fence already
destroyed, may be reckoned by thousands
About thousand cords of wood, lying upon
the line of the railroads, in this town, and
two barns, with their contents. are burned
The worst OF all is thai life has been sacri-
feed. The freight train from Platteburgh to
Mooers Junction, came in contact with the
flames issuing from some hundreds of cords of
dry wood beside the track. The engine was
reversed as soon as possible but not until the
engineer and one Of the brakemen were very
badly burnt. The fireman in his fright jump
ed from the train, and was found shortly after
not far from there, with his clothes almost
entirely burned from him. He died this eve
ming. The others are vet alive"

Prison REFoRM.-The subject of prison
reform is now attracting the attention Of
some of the best minds, both in this country
and in Europe. Among those who have la
bored assduously i'll this department of la
Dor, we know of no one who has done more
than the Rev. Charles Spear, editor of the
Prisoners Friend, Boston. So persevering
and SO arduous have been his labors, that he
has seriously affected his health, and we learn
that he has come among us to spend few
days at the Water Cure. We need not remind
the friends of the noble cause to which he
has devoted himself, that he needs friends to
sustain him, and we already learn that some
of our first citizens have ministered to his
spent all that he has in the work which has
occupied his attention, he needs now that
which he has so generously extended to 9TH
ers. We trust, if he is able, that he will lay
labors and plans. One another day. we may
give some incidents showing the good that has
already been accomplished.
