Ladies', Collegiate Ins,i,n,s.

tDtce0t report OF the Board Of Examiners of the
Ladies' Collegiate Institute, an Forester
Having had the pleasure of being present, as
members of the Examining Committee, at the
recent anniversary of the Ladies' Collegiate Tnsti-
tute, at Worcester we deem it Justly due to the
friends and patrons Of that Institute to state that
We found the school in a highly furnishing condi-
ton. We were not little surprised, indeed, to
find that, during the past yearthe first of its ex-
istence-it had established itself on so firm ba-
SIS and could already present such fruits and evil
dences of its prosperity On noble and beautiful
elevation, from which the eye oyerlooks the sur
rounding region, and the city thar lies peacefully
at It's foot, we found large and elegant building
appropriated to the use of the school. Spacious
wings are IN process of construction, which will
shortly add greatly to the accommodations already
existing Thus far, the number of pupils has
been limited, for want of larger accommodations
to eighty; more than that number however
have been connected with the school during the
year, and many have been unable to secure admis-
sion.
The course of instruction, as marked out in the
catalogue, struck us at first with SURPRISE ut the
range and extent of studies therein prescribed
differing little in these respects from the course of
study pursued in Oldest and most thorough
colleges.
1t may, perhaps be questioned by some whether
such course can be successfully carried out in
school for young ladies' It is the determination
of the able and efficient Board of Trustees of this
Institution, that the experiment shall for once be
fairly tried; and for ourselves, from what we saw
at the recent anniversary, we must say that we
have very little doubt of its ultimate and complete
1t will require time of course for the full
and complete working of SO comprehensive plan.
For the present, the pupils are not to be found in
any considerable numbers, who are fairly qualified
to enter upon such of study and the classes
now in the institution arc rather to be regarded
as in course of preparation than as already entered
upon the true curriculum.
beginning has heen made, however. An able
and faithful corps Of teachers has commenced the
work, and if we may judge OF the future by the
faithfulness and, ability already manifest, we
cannot doubt their complete success. The classes
were examined in considerable variety of
studies-Arithmetic Algebra, Geometry, Latin,
French, Greek, English Literature, Botany, &C.,
&C., and appeared uniformly WELL We shall
watch with little interest the future progress of
an institution which promises so well, and to which
we most heartily wish the fullest success,

REMARKABLE DEATHS By LIGHTNINa.-
Last Wednesday, evening, three farm laborers
were going home from hayIng, near Utica,
with their pitchforks on their shoulders Two
of them threw aside their forks, fearing the
lightning which was playing in the heavens.
Folts was in the centre, and persisted in re-.
tanning his fork, and walked along with the
points in the air. A flash Of lightning killed
him, while his companions were prostrated
for a moment. In Richmond, Va, the same
day, negro girl, sixteen years of age, who
was cleaning knives in shed in a yard, was
struck dead by bolt, and her knives scatter

weather being sultry, and thunder storm
prevailing, Mr.. Nathaniel Keyon took some
bed clothes, spread them on the floor, and lay
down. Mrs. Keyon was also laying down on
a settee in the same room, when a flash of
Lightning struck the building. Mrs. Keyon
saw the electric fluid playing around her hus-
bands bend, and thinking that his hair had
caught fire, she went to him and found him
dead.
A thunder storm was experienced in New
York city, on Thursday evening. One per-
son was killed by the lightning, Robert Nc
knight. He had left his home about half
past seven o'clock for the purpose of purchas
ing some goods. On his return, he was over
taken by sudden shower and must have
taken shelter in the porch of the house of
Mr.. Stephen Jackson. While there, the light.
ming struck the building at the rear corner,

second and thence to the front of the build.

torn from his limbs, and his boots we're torn

The CRoPs IN INDIANA AND ILLINOIS. The
Commissioner of Patents at Washington has re.

which the writer states that the crops of southern
Indiana and Southern Illinois are beyond all pre-

Corn is late. The crops of wheat, rye, grass, and

home, when opposite Piper's Block, span of
horses, in hack without driver, came running
furously down Pleasant street, and, as they turn
ed the corner, ran directly into the Docto-s car
rage, upsetting it, and threw him with consider
able violence upon the sidewalk. He struck in
such manner, however, as to escape any serious
injury. The hack horses fetched up against an
awning post. and passerby seized one
of them by the head and held them. Before
DR.. Batess horse could recover himself, for a

The LITERARY HUNKERs In TROUBLE. The
