AT VAUDEVILLE COL
LEGE.

VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Aug. 10.
The exercises of commencement week at
this college began on Sunday evening last
with sermon before the Boardman N1issiona-
ry Society by Rev. John Duncan of Boston
His text was from Mark 1915: go, We into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every
| creature" The theme of his discourse was,
The church's missionary field and the trials,
responsibilities, and encouragement of the
missionary laborer.
This society, whose anniversary was held
this evening, has been established many years,
and received its name from that of the honor
ed missionary, Boardman, who was a member
OF the first class that ever graduated from this
institution. A year ago, it was re-organized
and now embraces nearly all the pious students
in the college.
On Monday evening were held the annual
meetings of the Zeta Psi and Delta Upsilon
Societies, the former secret and the latter an
u-secret. The exercises of the former were
not public But if we may judge by the list
of names, it presents a bright array Of talent
The orator, we understand, was Mr.. h. b.
SHEPPARD Of Bangor, and Mr.. Sabine Emery
of bloomfield was the poet. In the latter, the
eAerClseS VI WHICH were puD1c, Nlr. EDWIN
Reed of Bath delivered the Grafton, and Mr.
Geo. NJ Preston OF Medtord, Mass, the poem.
Both societies held their annual festivities in
the evening-the Zeta Psi at the Elmwood
and the others at their hall
On Tuesday at 5 P. NJ, occurred the ami.
versary of the Baptist Education Society At
| ter the appointment OF several committees it
was announced that Mr.. Butler was unable on
account of illness to deliver the annual sermon,
which was consequently delivered by Rev.
DIR. Smaller of Portland The text was from
Matt. 9:37. "The harvest is truly plenteous.
but the laborers are few"
In the evening the Grafton and poem were
| delivered before the united societies-the
Erosophian, Adelphi, and the Literary Frater-
nifty. The orator of the evening was Rev. o.
5. Stearns of Newton, Mass. His subject was
Study and Art. On account ofour unfav
| position and the noise and confusion in the
house, we lost so much of the Grafton as to be
unable to judge Of its merits. BY those who
were fortunate enough to hear, it was pro-
nounced an able and superior discourse. The
poem by VIM Stark, Esq of Manchester, N.
H., kept the audience in delightful humor,
and was frequently and loudly appauded
To-day occur the exercises OF the gradual

HUNDRED RETIREMENT OF THE RoTHs-
cHILDs.-ln the Paris correspondence of the
Morning Star we find the following :-"The
assurance given in financial circles of the ap-
preaching retirement of the Rothschilds has
created a strange sensation. If the rumor
prove true, not only Baron James, but both the
sons, Gustave and Alphonse, would also with
draw from business, the accounts of the house
in Paris be closed, and, in short it would exist
no longer after the month of December The
deplorable state in which Nathaniel Rothschild
still remains, who in the flower of his age and
strength has been suddenly struck with para
lysis, the uncertainty of financial operations in
the present unsettled state Of Europe, have de-
clded Baron James to take this step, so it is
said. But although the announcement, even
unconfrmed as yet by himself, has occasioned
some little emotion amongst the moneyed men
of Paris, men Of experience in these matters
persist in declaring that such measure is ut
tery incompatible with the Baron's age, his
nation, and his love of domination, and they
therefore reject the possibility"

HIGHWAY ROBBERY THE Lowell Citi-
zen and News corrects the statement of a
highway robbery copied into the Spy of the
9th inst, from its columns, and says that the
parties were robbed, if at all, in a house of ill
fame in Middesex street, out of which they
were routed by an unexpected descent of the
police. The parties disappeared through the
back windows at rapid rate, one of whom ar
rived at his mother-in-law's residence about
one clock in the morning, after spending an
hour or two in the station house. Both were
well known in Lowell and one occupies re-
sponsible position in Clinton, with a handsome
salary. Had these men told the truth to their
friends from whom the story was received, the
whole matter would never have met the public
eye.

REVISION OF THE STATUTEs.-The Com
mittee on the Revision resumed, Wednesday
morning, the consideration of the amendment
proposed by Mr.. Fox Of Taunton, to make the
salaries of Judges of the Superior Court $4,000
for the Chief Justice ard $4,000 for each of
the other Justices, instead of $500 and $4,000
as reported in the committees new draft of
the chapter.
Mr.. Sumner of Great Darlington, explained
that he was in favor of an increase of the sala-
ries last winter, but now as the labors of the
Judges had been reduced he should vote
against it.
Mr.. Brimblecom of Barre, explained that he
was in favor of an increase, but should oppose
it now, believing it prejudicial to future in
crease and consequently inexpedent. Messrs.
| Canning of Stockbridge, Stearns of Chicopee,
| Tucker of Boston, and Hinckley of Barnsta-
bic, opposed an increase Mr.. Walker Of
Pittsfeld, proposed $1,000 for the Chief Justice
and $1,000 for the other Justices.
The question was first put upon the largest
sum-the proposition of the standing commit.
tee-S550O for the Chief Justice and 5000 for
the associates. The yeas and nays were or.
dered, and the vote resulted to 10.
The next question was upon the amendment
Of Mr.. Walker--S5000 for the Chief Justice
and $4,000 for the associates. This was also
lost by vote of 8 to 18.
The next question was upon the amendment
Of Mr. Fox of Taunton-$4500 for the Chic
Justice and $4,000 for the associates. This
amendment was adopted. So the salaries re
main as they were fixed by the Legislature
formerly.
| The Committee discussed and acted upon
variety of amendments TO the chapter on the
courts, pending which they adjourned

The MEMORY OF HORACE MANN.-The
friends of Horace Mann held a public meeting
in Boston, Thursday, for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon some permanent memorial of the
regard in which he was held in his native state
Mr.. Geo. u. Emerson spoke Of his devoted
self sacrifice in the cause to which his life was
wholly given. DIR. S. G. Howe suggested that
a monument should be erected to his memory,
and moved that a committee be raised to take
the whole subject into their care. Hon. Henry
Wilson spoke of his interest in all good causes,
in education, in the promotion of judicious
charities, of temperance, and freedom. Hon.
Linues b. Comins paid an appropriate tribute
to his pure character and his unpretending
virtues. Prof Badger bore testimony to his
wonderful sweetI ess of character. He had so
much fighting to do in this world that his war
rior side was most frequently seen. But in
his last hours the angularties Of his character
were already dead, and he appeared to those
whosurrounded him as more than a supernatur-
al being. Many other speakers united in the
expression Of respect and sorrow. The follow.
ing named gentlemen were appointed to con-
stitute the committee on the proposed monu-
meDt Hon. Josiah Quincy, DIR. S. G. Howe,
Elk. Governor Boutwell,, Rev. L. T.. Hale, Prof.
Crosby, DR.. Gannett, Rev. Il. Edmonds, Geo
b. Emerson, Rev Mr.. Waterston. 1t was
stated at the meeting that $4,000 had already
been invested for the education of the children
of Mr.. Mann. The statement was made in
reference to what threatened to be public
movement in behalf Of his family. The fund
is probably not already completed Yet no
one who is interested in the good fame or the
welfare Of the State to which Mr. Mann con-
tributed so much will ever hesitate 10 share in
its grateful liberality.

REPORTED SALE OF ST.. THOMAS TO THE
UNITED STATEs.-The Mouiteur de la Flotte
prints, as II authentic, most important tidings.
President Buchanan has actually purchased
from Denmark the Island of st. Thomas. with
the adjacent islets of St. John and Santa Cruz.
st Thomas is the great central coaling station
OF the Royal West India mail steamers, and is
formidable military position in the Antilles.
Inc purchase is meant as a pilot balloon for
the acquisition of Cuba. There is now every
iaclllty for ascertaining the truth of this trans
Ter OF territory (equal in significance to the
Russian transaction with Piedmont) as the
Geographic wire has just united Copenhagen
with Heligoland and the British coast. The
Moniteur de la Flotte is a French government
organ.
