Class in Latin was examined, not in the Hall, but
in Glass room, in the presence of their parents,
guardians, and some of the Trustees. This ar
rangement, we imagine, was made for the reason,
that the Faculty, having confidence in the ability
and proficiency of the Class, were solicitous they
should be certainly heard by those most directly
interested in their improvement.
We further learn, that the SeniorClass in As
tronomy under the instruction Of the President,
and the Junior Glass in Algebra, under the instruc
ton of Rev. Adams, were not heard, for the SIM
ple reason of want of time under the arrangement
prescribed 1t is believed, they were we'll prcpar-
ed in the respective studies-the Senior Class in
its branch more especially.
Were We to stop here in our recital of what was
seen and heard, we would be accused by many Of
suppressing and leaving out all they saw, heard,
and remembered. This, of course, is the Music
the concord of sweet sounds. This was intcrspcr-
sed throughout the occasion. No matter what
NAV have been that hum Of voices-tllat pleasing
thought half uttered; when Miss UNDERWOOD, or
Mr. KERN, or both, with their classes, approached
the piano, all was hushed-silence then reigncd.
Happy reign We almost thought Of turning idol
ater and rearing an altar to the God of silence.
That the young ladies of the Institute should ex-
hibit their proficiency in music was to have been
expected but we subscribe decidedly to the idea
developed and carried out at this examination
that the teachers of Music themselves should ex-
hibit their own ability to perform and to instruct
This was done to entire satisfaction.

endured the ordeal of the TWO days, it would be

A CHICAGO IrEM.-It is reported that on one of
the most conspicuous corners in Chicago is large
six story building, built by clerk in the city,
with funds purloined from his employer. When
detection became unavoidable, he left town and
sent back an agent to negotiate. The matter was
finally arranged by the employer taking the build
ing and paying the thief ten thousand dollars, and
it was remarked so great had been the rise in the
value of the property, that the employer made
his fortune by being robbed.

papers, letters, large and small packages of books
&c., in huge confusion piled around. The old
black woman very deliberately unlocked the bags
and emptied their contents out on the floor. Amos
looked on, and Ike Slian marshaling his legions
in pandemonium, he "admired.' The darkey, af-
ter emptying the contents Of the bags in ''pile,
commenced putting back, and in every pouch re-
placed n ''miscellaneous assortment" The post
master general had his eyes open "somc," and it
occurred to him to ask "aunty" if she could read
"Oh. no." said she; ''but puts back jest about
rs much rs master used to-" As the critic said
Of Macready, when he asked the Danish courtier
to play on the pipe, and the courtier took him at
his word, and played Yankee Doodle! "Phancy
Hamlck's feelings" Fancy old Amos! But his
observations were not completed. There was an
enormous pile of mail matter that had been ac-
cumuating for months under the postal supervi-
sion of the sable "sub." 1t was after an. c. .'s
had learned the art Of franking, and when their
"beloved constituents" were in the habit of apply
ing for seeds and other products at the agricul'
tural bureau of the patent Office. The cucumber
seeds of those days were not all ''basswood," as
Kendall can testify. The seedin the moist, warm
climate of Mississippi had germinated extensively
throughout that immense mass Of Email matter; :
cabbages beets, carrots, caulifowers werc there
potatoes had sproutcd while cucumber, pumpkin
and squash vines had extended out of the heap and
run nearly across the room! 1t is supposed thai
the warmth of the political documents, stimulated
by the fiery nature of southern politicians hao
added to, rather than subtracted from, the fertile
nature of the postal compost!

presumption in us to speak How could we judge
them? 1t is true, they answered promptly, and
seemed to be very familiar with the respective
studies. The examination was obviously fair, and
searching. Of this however we are better persuad-
ed-that the Faculty are gentlemen of learning
competent to their duty-fathful in the discharge
of their responsibilities, and are assiduous in ef-
fort to rear up and maintain an institution worthy
Of the age and of our country. Miss CURTIS, also
of the Faculty, is regarded, as we happen to
know, an important acquisition in her depart
ment and we are assured, that the Trustees would
be very 10th to part with her.
OF the address of the President to the Gradua-
ting Class. on delivering them their Diplomas we
are sure we express only the common sentiment
when we say, that it was highly appropriate and
affecting-not gotten up fora display of eruditon,
but spoken from the heart and reaching hearts
its vibrations evidenced and manifested by heaving
bosoms and eyes suffuscd with tears.
The address of Rev. J. B. WATT was oil, which
was anticipated from his recognized intelligence
powers of clocution, pleasing address, and appro-
pirate gesture. Its worst fault was its brevity.-
Many, notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the
evening, rendered more unendurablefrom thecro
dcd state of the room, would willingly have heard
him further. We were sorry to hear, that the Rev.
gentleman was laboring under considerable indis-
position.
Upou the whole, the occasion of this asscmbage
was gay-attractive-ple -pleasant-interesting-
will long be kept in memory by many an aged, as
we'll as youthful heart. May many such occasions
be in reserve for the Yorkville Female Institute
our village and country.

suning. diligent and iudciatigaAle in his
scientific pursuits, attentive to eli, whether
about him or alta distance, a7d whether

To the E9,t0r Of ''Thc NcWs.
DEAR SlK:-This County of Carleton has,
for several years, sustained celebrity en-
loved by few Counties in the Province, and
uprhaus nothing las contributed to establish
this not0riety, more than its representation i'll
Parliament from the days OF Jimmy johnson
down to the present time. My curiosity to
become acquainted with locality that sends
such distinguished specimens OF statesmen to
Parliament, was not diminished by perusaI
Of a verv coarse article in an obscure paper,
supposed to BE- edited BY the VI. p. p. for
this C.uu.,, in which the English Puritaus
and New England Pilgrims were denounced
in plain terms as disgusting rrGians and
ragaIonds, and the eloquent speech Ot high
lv respected clergyman in Montreal, deliver
ed at the Banquet Of the NcwEngland Society
was described as the nonsense and t,caddle ot
an atheitt. Macauley and others of fair ahil-
tiles have protected the Puritans and Pill
grims from all harm, and tho Press of Mon
treal pronounced the New England Festival
successful.
Bot DOW let us turn to a comparison be-
tween the educational condition of the de-
scendants of those "disgusting ruthans and
vacabonds" around Plymouth Rock and the
| Carletonians. In New England, the native
population, almost without an exception,
:
/ and freedom of speech, in their fullest extent
| exist. In Carleton County, during recent
visit. saw only two School notices in wri-
ting posted at public places, and one notice
in writing for the sale Of some lands. As
specimens of the fruits Of that illiberal op-
/ position to the progressive spirit of the Pu-
ritans, so aptly enunciated by the NJ. L. +.
for the County in which these notices were
displayed, and as encouraging evidence that
the puritan's School House is bound to take
its place in Carleton in due tine, append
correct copies of these cheering symptoms o
progress in the right direction, with the lul
persuasion that sentiments 50 entirely at va
rance with good sense, as are those Of the
newspaper referred to- will meet with httl'

after the schools mentioned in the followin'
