dom. The first day, Tuesday, Prot. Phelps, of
Andoycr. delivered an address before the TheO-
logical Society, which was applauded by
nearly all. but as he spoke favoraby of Pro.

ter" Wednesday, in the forenoon, an ad-
dress was delivered before the Alumni or
the college, by Prof. Brown, which far exceed
ed the expectation of all. He gave a descrip-
ton of the college from its commencement to
the present, which was very interesting to all
those connected with it. He also spoke Of some
Of the great lights that had emanatcd from the
institution, and expressed the sentiment that
she might have a glorious future. This may
be true if the succeeding classes are animated
by the same spirit as the last. Hon. Wendell
Phillips, of Boston, addressed the United Soei-
cites. Lama, .eftar s-a--Fa
Wednesday afternoon, before vast assem-
bly,, as Mr.. Phillips came forward to speak, he
was cheered three times by those in the bo-
dy of the house, and from the galleries. fairest
hands waved him a welcome which showed
that he had sympathy with the mass. He
spoke his politie~l views fully, regardless d
the many opposers that sat around him, plain
er than any one had Supposed OF dared to hope.
With one exception, Mr.. Phillips address is to
be compared with none that We have ever
heard at Dartmouth. In the evening, Mr..
Phillips was called out, together with S. P.
Chase, of Ohio (who happened at Dartmouth
during coinmencement), to address large au-
dience that had gathered around the place
where they were stopping. Mr.. Chase spoke
in behalf of Freedom in the same spirit as when
he said, Let my poor name perish, but let
Liberty live." 1t was regarded strange by
some that S. P. Chase and Wendell Phillips
could obtain listening audience in Hanover, a
place which seemed to " breathe and burn" of
Southern principles. But we trust that stran-
ger things may yet transpre there.
No one can help admiring the situation of
the College, standing as it does in the healthi-
est part of New England, midway between the
lake and the ocean, upon spot as though
formed by nature for it, from which genera
tions yet unborn may. in every age, draw per-
ennal streams of intellectual life. The position
of the college, and its standard of scholarship.
cannot be culogised too highly but that south
ern principle which has hitherto permeated it,
renders it odious to the country.

CHICKERING'S Piano FoRTEs.-We would call
the attention of our musicoving readers to the
advertisement of Jacob Chickering, the celebra-
ted Piano Forte maker, of Boston, We had the
pleasure, few weeks ago, of personal inspcc-
ton OF his extensive manufacturing and ware
rooms on Washington street, and became con-
WINGED that his reputation for unrivaled excel
lence in the manufacture of these instruments.
was richly deserved. From the many testimo-
mails we have examined from the best Judges in
the country, as we'll as from the concurrent opin-
ions we have heard personally expressed, to saw
nothing of our own judgment, we feel safe in
recommending those about to purchase an in
strument to give Mr.. Chickering S establishment
"a preference.
Mr. George w. Wilder, our we'll known Mont
pelicr pianist and music-teacher, is Mr.. Chick
ering's agent for this part of the State and the
different specimens of Mr.. C.'s instruments NAV
be seen at his music rooms in this village.
