AMHERST CoLLBGE, Wednesday, Aug IL.
Messrs. Editors The annual business meet
ing Of the Alumni of Amherst, was held in the
College Chapel, this morning at nine o'clock
After the reading Of the rec rds of the last meet
ing, Professor Haven, who has recently received
and accepted an appointment to the chair of Di-
dactic Theology in the new Theological Semna-
~ at Chicago, resigned his office as President of
the associated Alumni, accompanied by brief
and feeling speech. Professor Clark also ten
dered his resignation as Secretary. Hon. Henry
Morris, Of Springfield, was unanimously chosen
President, and Rev. Julius H. Seely, Secretary.
Professor Clark made a statement in regard
10 funds for the College Library, from which it
appeared that ten thousand and five hundred, of
the fifteen thousand dollars required, was already
raised. The Alumni are sangune that the re-
mander will easily aud speedily be secured
Hon. Samuel Williston gave fifteen thousand dol.
lars TO erect the building called ''Alumni Hail."
on condition that the same amount should be
raised for the library.
The Grafton before the Alumni does not come
off this year, in consequence of the failure of
both the principal and substitute to discharge
that duty. Congressman Bocock, of Virginia,
who was the substitute chosen last year, on being
notified, replied, in a Connected. silly, and alto.
gether contemplate letter, declining, on the
ground that there subject which an
Amherst audience would allow him to utter his
sentiments. He was assured. in reply, by all the
college officers, that any latitude of expression
or themes would be freely allowed and respect
fully received, but he declined to appear. Rev.
Prof. Hitchcock, of Union Theological Seminary.
was elected orator for next year, and Prof F. A.
March, substitute.
After the reading of the annual obituary list
and the transaction of some other unimportant
business, the association adjourned, to hear the
grafton before the Social Union by Wendell Phil

This Grafton has been the feature Of the week,
as all unhesitatngly admit. The subject was the
same as at Yale, last year, namey-"The Duty
and Safety of Agitation, in its most unlimited
sense" We have heard Mr.. Phillips many times,
but never when he surpassed his address of to-
day Power, beauty of thought and expression

bined in perfection. 1t is universally conceded
that no such GRAFTON has been delivered in Am.

years since.

fore the Phi Beta Kappa. was upon-"Our Fam.

though the general crops were considered de-

markets of Piedmont were calm. About
ODESSA, there was general satisfaction as to
the crops, though the backward spring was
felt.
The present wheat harvest is regarded
among the best of fair average crops in

REMARKABLE CURE OF LUNATIc. -The
Cleveland (Ohio) Herald reports that an in
sane man was recently cured of his malady
by a surgical operation. The man was
thrown from wagon about five years since,
fraeturing his skull, from which permanent
arrangement followed, and he was taken to
the Lunatic Asylum, where he remained
considerable time. until he was discharged az
incurable, and finally placed in Jail. At the
latter place he has remained about year.
His wife recently engaged DIR. Thayer to try
his skill in the case. After an examination,
the doctor found portion of the skull much
depressed, and resolved to remove it. The
lunatic was confined, and copious doses of
chloroform administered, until he became en-
tirely insensible, when a piece Of his skull a
little smaller than a quarter dollar, was taken
out. 1t was found to be considerably thick
ened on one side. The head was then bound
with bandage saturated with water, and the
patient left to recover from his stupor. This
vas on Thursday. On Saturday morning the
patient awoke, rose from his bed, and walked
up and down the room, perfectly rational.
He complained that the bandages, which for
some reason that he didn't understand had
been put on his head, hurt him, and asked
the attendant if they might be loosened. AS
soon as relieved from the pressure, he lay
down on his bed and fell asleep. On his
again awaking he commenced talking about
things that happened five years ago, as if
having occurred but yesterday. 1t was a long
time before he could be made aware of the
fact of his long illness and insanity, and when
at last convinced of it, stated that he had no
recollection of anything other than misty
kind of dream about his being sick. He is
now in a fair way Of recovery, and will prob
ably do well unless Inflammation should su-
pervene.

A COURAGEOUS GIRL.-A correspondent of the

gives the following account of an incident which
TRANSFERRED in that town few days since;
miss Sarah Perkins, young woman about 10
years of age, started, just at dusk last Thursday,
for the house of friend about mile distant from
her home. Taking cross path which led
through the woods, she lost her way in the dark
ness, which soon became intense. a severe
thunder storm was just commencing the light
ming was frequent, and unusually sharp, and
the rain fell in torrents. She wandered about
tor a while, but finding herself totally unable to
escape from the woods, she quietly seated her
self upon rock at the foot of a tree, and
waited patiently for the morning light. When it
came, she found her way home, changed her
dress, which was badly torn and thoroughly satu-
rated with water and, when the family arose,
they found her sitting by the fire as omposedly
as though nothing in the least unusual had
transpired. She said she was not frightened at
all-had very comfortable seat, and neither
shed any tears, nor called for help

The DELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION OF THE
QUEENS MEssAGE.-The Halifax papers of
August 18th, state that the delay in the
transmission of the Queens message arises
from the fact that the American terminus of

Newfoundland coast, where preparation he's
to be made for its being well secured, an
office erected, and the proper apparatus made
ready for service. The delay IN the transmits
sion of intelligence from Newfoundland
after the first announcement was made,
is stated in the HGIJar Chronicle to have
been caused by the absence of the chief
operator at Aspy Bay, who was away marry

A DIsAPPoINTMENT.-E yesterday after
Aoon, tslegraphic dispatch received from
Boston, announcing that Hon. Galusha A Grow
of Pennsylvania would arrive at Worcester in the
evening train from Nashua, on his way from the
White Mountains, aud that he would remain here
during the night. Surprising that the liberty
loving citizens OF Worcester would be anxious
to listen to the brave champion of freedom, who
has led the hosts of the opposition in she present
Congress, and whose good right Frustrated
the braggart bully of South Carolina, arrange
ments were made to give him public reception
at the Lincoln House.
Notices were issued, and Fiske's Cornet Band

Al the appointed hour large assembage of our

gathered about the depot and the Lincoln House,
and anxiously awaited the appearance of M.
Grow, but they doomed to Disappointment
Mr.. Grow did not arrive for what reason we are
unable to say, and the assembage had to content
themselves after the announcement, of his non ar

well stored barns. The prospect for large har-
vest Of corn is also very good, the fields looking
well in most, if not all the towns in that vicinity
Potatoes, also, promise to be plenty. Those al.
ready dug afford signs of the rot. Grain of
all kinds is looking finely. The expectation of
large crop of fruit, which was raised by the
abundance of blossoms, will not be realized
Fruit growers say the amount of apples raised
this season will be small, though probably as
good as last year.
