MADISON UNIVERSITY, HAMILTON, NY
The Commencement exercises promise this year
to be of unusual interest. The corner stone of a
new and imposing edi6ce, to be called the Alumni
Hall, will be laid on Wednesday of Commencement
week. AS the principal men engaged in the matter
belong to the Masonic fraternity we presume the
corner stone will be laid with all the pomp and
ceremonies generally observed by the Masons
upon such occasions. The Rev. Henry c. VogelI,
d. d., late pastor of the First Baptist church in
Rome, an able speaker and advocate of that mys-
terious ORDER the orator of many of the Masonic
anniversaries and the indefatigable subscription
cslector of funds for the new building, will be
present as the master Of ceremonies. The Rev.
A. H. Birmingham, OF this city, also a prominent
member of the ancient order, will positively de-
liver the address and has already left the city for
Hamilton. The Rev. r. G. Toilet and others are
expected to take prominent parts in the proceed
