The philosophical exhibition at the George.
town College, yesterday afternoon, was well
attended, and the young gentlemen of the
class evinced by their composition that they
had been no laggards in the speculative fields
of philosophy. At the conclusion of the dis
cussion, an interesting scene occurred, which
we did not see announced in the programme
Mr.. r. Combs stated that the class in philoso-
ply had, on the 10th of june resolved to give
some testimonial Of their esteem to the Rev
Prof. Ardia, as an able teacher, and orc well
worthy of respect and esteem, and had depu-
tised A. Ii. Loughborough to perform the
pleasing task, which he did in q mastery and
feeling manner, and was responded to by the
reverend professor in n manner which will not
soon be forgotten by the young gentlemen of
the class. The memento consisted of the works
of Shakespeare, in four volumes, beautifully
bound, with the names of the members Of the
philosophy class for 1885, neatly inserted on a
blank leaf in front.
This morning the exhibition hall of this noble
old institution was again crowded with a bril-
liant audience of ladies and gentlemen, some
from almost all sections of the country, to wit
ness the winding up of the scholastic year. And
doubtless all present will agree with US when
we say that the exercises throughout were of
no ordinary character, but such as to do last
ing honor to the young gentlemen who partic-
pated in them, and reflect credit upon every
instructor and manager of this time honored
college. Never before have we seen so deep
an interest taken in one of its Commandments,
and such general desire among our citizens
to be present
Our limits will not permit US to publish the
programme of exercises. However, they com.
prised the delivery of eloquent addresses, on
various interesting subjects, the intervals being
occupied with music. The ceremonies conclu-
Qd will o,,l L. r

Want OF time and space prevents us to-day
from noticing the many rich and handsome
awards of merit which were bestowed upon
the students, at the close of the exercises, by
the excellent president of the institution, Rev
b. A. Mcguire ~
The house of Mr.. John Hawkins, on High
street, was entered by thieves few nights
ago, and robbed of some $50 in money The
villains effected an entrance by breaking
open one of the windows in the basement
We learn that suspicion fastens itself very
strongly upon couple of youths, who have
since been seen in possession of considerable
quantities of specie. Mr.. Ii. is a poor man
and lily able to lose so large a portion of his
hard earnings.
AT 20 clock tomorrow morning the exhibi-
ton. and distribution of premiums, at Trinity
institute, (Mr. Hunter's,) will take place.
And the distribution of premiums, and exer
clses In music, at the ladies' academy. at the

o'clock.
