Bas~ Mr.. EDITOR 1t was my good fortune
to attend the exercises closing the late term of the Sus
quehanna Collegiate Institute Tuesday of last week at
the Presbyterian Church. \ respectable audience was
present to participate in the pleasure of the occasion
and We hazard nothing in saying that every person was
delighted with what he heard and saw. Ten twelve
original orations delivered by the young Of the
Institute each aboundng in choice patriotic sent
ments clothed in eloquent language and in style of
eocuton quite superior that of the ordinary produc
tions of the kind. There was to say the least strong
current Of sound logical thought running through each
production which impressed the hearer and enlisted his
hearty commendation We listened to spread eagle
flights of the imagination to no tales of sound and
fury signifying nothing, but to good common sense ex
pressed in orcble language and finding its way at once
to the heart such thoughts always will. As we hnye
no programme indicating the particular names of the
speakers Of each oratcn before US but have to depend
upon memory no young gentleman will accuse US of par
tiay if we say that the productions entitled Sell
made men" and " Selfmade never made pleased Us
much for the noble thoughts they embodied in words
for the effective and forcibe style OF delivery while
the tive entitled Comparative wrongs Of the Negro and
Indian and slavery Social Evil though slightly an
tagonstic yet mainly true perhaps exhibiting the pot
cal predlections Of the sneakers lin nc offensive sense
howeyer spoken with great effect, and thrilled the
audience with emotion. Those entitled g The Young
Men Of America Universal Education" and Incen-
tives 10 Noble Living were chastc and finished produc-
tiona, aboundny in beautiful language and elevated
tbopo and rs specimens Of elocuon quite and entirely
above rhe common order Of school exercises The two
entitled American Liberty. and Ambition" contain
e1 atriotic sentiments exhibited honorable aims and
rave bich promse of future excellence and success
