SOPHOMORE EXHIBITION. - The College
Chapel was crowded, as usual, at the Exhi-
biton on the Goth in spite of the customary
rainstorm. The Sophomores acquitted them
selves handsomely and with credit to them
selves and the University. We thought the
pieces showed an uncommon uniformity of
merit Ito which probably is due the al pha-
betical order of the schedule in place Of the
customary arrangement with reference to va
.ety and merits) and they were, as it struck
us, unusually well committed,
We shall, we hope, do the young gentle
men service by adding that the delivery of
most of the pieces was marred by an indis-
tinctness of enunciation, which, in some
cases, was excessive.
The poem was decidedly better than COM
mon. 1t was happy choice of subject, was
interesting IN its matter, was marked by an
easy flow of rhythm, and by clear, though
rather hurried delivery, and produced real
ly stirring effect

BosroN TRADE. The IrareHer says the
heavy trade in Boston is dull. although the
job bushes is fair. The India stocks on
hand are large, but there is no reason to
look for any great increase to them for some
time. Last accounts from Calcutta state that
no ships are lading there for any L. S. ports.
Five or six ships are on the way to Boston,
to arrive within three months. The shipping
business of Boston at present is sluggish. Ves-
sells generally are not paying their way. AS
consequence of this state of things, money
is said to be plenty in Boston, that is on
short loans and on undoubted security. The
bank deposits are large. The largest indi-
vidual depositor in Boston has no less than
one million nine hundred and .itiy, thousand
dollars to his credit in State street 1t is in
three of the best banks.

IScESpIARIsM On Saturday night an at
tempt was made to fire a building adjoining
Wentworth s block, in Bellows Falls, but it
was discovered in season to prevent any dam
age. Daniel Higgins was arrested on charge
of being concerned. The Argus says of it -
"But almost equal to the villainny of the mis-
creant who committed the dark deed is that
of certain woolly heads here who are at
tempting to turn it to political account.
We suppose if locomotive should crush a
man on one of the railroads, they would
charge it to the Democrats. :"
The Rochester Union denies that either the
business partner of Mr.. Perkins, or any other
prominent citizen, had become insane in con-
sequence of the fatal accident to Mr. p.
The fact that student of the University
was taken to Utica insane, on Friday, per-
haps gave rise to the rumor."

VERDICT OF THE Jury. The coroner S Jury
in the case Of the late disaster on the n. Y.
Central Railroad, at Sanquoit bridge, have
given verdict that''the deaths were caused
by the insecurity of the bridge, owing to the
same being decayel and rotten. 4 portion
of the bridge was constructed of inferior tim
ber, the same being bastard elm We find
the deaths were caused by culpable neglect
on the part of the Central Railroad Company
in not causing this bridge to be properly
examined"
Not only was the bridge rotten, and
known to be so previous to the accident, but
it was shown that some of the timber was
unsound 'rtcn the bridge cas bu,h, and atten-
boring one of the chord pieces but no atten-
tion was paid to it. Moreover, the timber
was of kind not liable to endure longer than
from two to three years.
But what good will tho verdict do Nobody
will be punished, and the legislature will
continue to leave the protection of property
and life on rail roads at as lose ends as ever

Music HATH CHARMS. The Natchez Cou-
rier tells of a rough boatman passing along
the streets of that city, who had drifted far
away from home, and stopped at the door of a
music store, where gentleman was evoking
sweet strain from the chords ola fine piano,
for the amusement Of some lady friends, He
listened very attentively, paying but little
attention to the passers-by, until the hot
scalding tears coursed down his rough sun
burnt cheeks, in spite of all endeavors to
suppress them. Observing that we noticed
him, he turned round and exclaimed Can't
help stranger I've little sister somewhere
out West that does that sort of thing, and it
makes me think of home.
