were examined, Prof. Haven Of Amherst College
and Prof. Greene of Brown University, members
of the Board of Examiners, assisting the teachers
in the conduct of the examination. The young
ladies showed great proficiency in their studies,
and their familiarity with the subject matter Of
their lessons as well as the textbooks, indicated
great thoroughness in the discipline of the
school, and reflected much credit upon the in
structors in the various departments.
At the conclusion of the examination, Rev.
Mr.. james, in behalf OF the Trustees addressed
the teachers, pupils, and spectators, in appropri
ate remarks, and afterwards introduced Prot. Ha-
ven of Amherst College, and Prof. Greene of
Brown University, who. as members of the exam
lining committee, testified to the creditable char
acter of the examination, and spoke words of kind
encouragement to the pupils and teachers. They
entirely approved of the design of the institu-
ton, and discerned elements of great promise i'll
the proposed course of study, seeing no reason
why young ladies should not receive as thorough
and finished an education as young gentlemen,
and recognizing the want, so long lamented by
all the friends of sound and liberal learning, Of
the requisite facilities for suitably nstructing
young ladies. They heartily endorsed this enter
prise, and expressed their wish that it would be
eminently successful
In the evening there was a most agreeable
soree of the friends OF the institution; and thus
ended the first anniversary of the Ladies Col
legiate Institute.

FIRST ANNUAL EXAM INATIoN OF THE LADIES'
COLLEGIATE INsTITUTE.-The first annual ex-
animation of the Ladies' Collegiate Institute
was held yesterday, in the recitation room of the
College Building upon Union Hill. There was
no public announcement of the fact that such an
examination was to take place. and as a matter
Of course the number of spectators was very
small, amounting to only about dozen in all,
Of whom all were ladies, except two or three.
The exercises were opened with prayer, after
which class of the younger scholars in the pre-
paratory department was examined by the teach
er, Miss Harriet Whitney, in Harkness's Ar
nolds Latin Exercises.
Next in order, the class in arithmetic, under
the tuition Of Miss Harriet NJ. Buss, passed a
very excellent examination in that useful branch
Of study, showing by their prompt answers and
explanations that they werewolf grounded, at
least, in the science of numbers and computa-
ton.
A class in geometry was next examined by
Mrs. Prescott, acting principal, and teacher Of
mathematics and botany. All of the pupils
showed good degree of proficiency in this
branch Of study, and their demonstrations of
PtOVlemb upon lhe oldck-DOhIu were maze IN q
cleaEand understanding manner.
| Following this, there was an examination of a
class Of young ladies in Latin, upon the first
chapter Of Cornelius Nepos The pupils, who
were mostly Of the younger members Of the Col
lege, translated with ease and auency. and their
ready answers to the questions of their instruct
ors, and gentlemen present, showed that thew
had been we'll schooled in the grammar. which
is the all-essential element Of progress in the
acquisition Of any language.
The class in algebra, which was examined next
showed remarkable proficiency, by it's demon
strations upon the blackboard, in this branch 0
their studies, which spoke well, not only for tn,
intelligence OF the pupils, but also for the car
and attention Of the instructor in this depart
ment, Miss Harriet M. Buss.

Tbs WILL OF THE LATE J EssE w. GooDRIcH.
We had the curiosity to examine, few days
since, the last will and testament of the late Jesse
W. Goodrich, Esq, for many years attorney at
law, and editor of newspaper in this city, enti-
tied TIE Cataract, devoted to the temperance re-
form, who has recently deceased. Mr.. Good
rich was a bachelor, Of liberal education, but OF
eccentric habits, and the last viii and testament
which was written in November, 1858, affords
very good illustration of the idiosyncracy of his
mind. tits very long document, covering just
fifty foolscsp pages, in closely written manu-
script, and it has, besides, an appendix Of some
sixty pages more, embracing selections, mostly
cut from newspapers. calculated to show the evil
results of the use of tobacco and alcoholic drinks.
In style it is inflated like the editorials the writer
was accustomed to prepare while living, and its
ideas are so buried in verbosity that it would prob
ably take several Philadelphia lawyers to find
out the true meaning and import of the instru-
ment.
Although provision is made in the instrument
for its publication in a neat pamphlet form'
upon good paper and new type, about five years
hence, and every five years thereafter for the next
twenty years, we have concluded, while our read.
ers are waiting for a sight of the precious docu-
ment in full to give them a brief synopsis Of it
at the present time. just to crafty the curios-
ty, which is very natural, in regard to it, and
to blunt the edge of expectation on the part of
those who may be expecting legacy from the
estate.
After the usual prelminaries common in
instruments Of this kind, Mr. Goodrich names, as
his executors, Messrs. E. M. Goodrich This broth
er) of North Perry, Ohio, Charles NJ. jenkins,
Esq. Of Albany, DR.. Charles Jewett of Millbury,
and John B. Cough of Boylston. He then in
struets them them to pay all his debts and funer-
al expenses, and to erect on his "elpticafly gra-
ded lot in the Rural Cemetery" two monuments |
where, between which, enclosed in vitreous or
metallic coffin. he,wished his earthly remains to
be deposited lone ofthe monuments to bear such
inscriptions in relation TO himself and the other
such in relation to his honored parents, who died
in Pittsfeld many years ago, as his executors and
surviving brothers and sisters may deem appro-
pirate He next bequeathes to each of the num-
erous members of his family, both nearly and re-
motley related, to his executors, and numerous
other friends and CO. laborers in the temperance
reform, indicated by name, richly bound copy
Of the Holy Bible, the best that can be procured
for any sum between ten and fifteen dollars, each
copy Of which is to be inscribed as follows, in gilt
letters, on the back or lid -

The LEGIsLATURE.-The Legislature as.
sembled today, pursuant to an order passed at
the regular session, for the purpose of dis
tricting the State for the choice of sena-
tors, and assigning to the several counties the
number of representatives to which they may
be entitled under the recent amendment Of
the Constitution.
The Senate was full. The attendance of
the members of the House, Notwithstanding
the heat of the day, was very general, there
being full two thirds of full house present.
An order was adopted in concurrence, pro-
viding for the appointment of a committe
Of one Senator from each Senatorial district
and thirty-one Representatives who should
report a bill for the division of the State into
districts for the choice of Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes. The committee was appointed in
concurrence, and both branches adjourned for
the day. Boston Journal, 14tb.

which will comply with the above conditions
The next section provides for the payment of the
services of the executors, and provision is then
next made for the printing, within the first six
months Of his death, of five hundred copies Of the
last win and testament, with the anti tobacco and
anti-alcohoc appendix, one of which is to be sent
to all his relatives and other persons whom he
names, amoag whom are Judge Barton, George
NJ. Rice, Deacon Grant, and George Trask. as a
mementO of his kind remembrance and regard.
similar edition he also provides shall be print
ed in every succeeding period of five years, for
twenty years, and distributed in the same way
That portion of the will of which the above is a
synopsis, covers thirty-fve pages, and the remain
ing fifteen are based npon the disposal of his pro-
perty upon the presumed contingency of his mar
rying and having children, which, as he never
did marry will have but little or any interest to
the pnblic
Such, in brief, are the leading features of this
singular will of one who was widely known in this
vicinity, and who, although he has occupied
conspicuous position in the community for the
last twelve years, died almost friendess and
alone. 1t is hardly possible that instrument
bearing such unmistakable evidence of an
sound mind, will be confirmed, should its validity
be contested on that ground, and we learn that
it is more than probable that the executors named
in the will would refuse to give bonds for its exc
cution, in which case the whole estate would be d.
vided among his legal heirs according to the pro-
visions of law, for such cases made and provided
