Young, of East Trenton, aged II years and 5
months.
BY the peculiar dispensation of Divine
Providence, the bitter cupof rrow and af-
Fiction, has bsen pressed to the lips OF a
heretofore unbroken family circle.
Coming at an unexpected time, and in an
unlocked for manner, the blow falls sudden
ly and heavily hoio heavily they alone can
realize whose experience has been of u SIM.
lar nature. lie was son and brother album
dainty worthy Of esteem and love, with which
he was regarded. His friends feel scnsibly
the loss which they sustain, for home will
indeed be desolatc without him. Their sor.
row, however is lcssened and soitened by the
remembrance that he was evidently prepared
to die. No doubt his peace was made with
God.
One event in his life is worthy Of especial
mention and remembrance. We trust it may
be preserved in the annals OF our present ma
tional struggle, as illustrative Of the truth
that the spirit which filled the hearts of the

Tuesday evening found us again in the
old church to listen to an Grafton by Ralph
Waldo Emerson and poem by Rev Samuel
Francis Smith. d D., of Newton, Mass au-
thor of the national hymn, I" My country,
it's of thee" Mr.. Emerson dlscourscd with
his usual precision and siyacity Of style, up
on the true aims of scholarship. His great
mistake, as usual, was in exlltng the intel
lect above the sensibilities; thought above
hove. Christianity teaches that love is the
great virtue. Emerson taught at WaterviIle,
rs he is continually teaching. that intellect.
ual power is the greatest of all excelcncies.
Wednesday morning the procession formed
in front of the College Chapel and marched
to the Church. just as | was taking my
seat the walls of the church rcs9undcd with
applause. and on looking up saw one of the
heroes of Gettysburg, our own General How
ard, Nth has right ann gone. Ai;cr prayer
by the President of the College. the graduat-
ing class spoke their several orations, inter
mingled with music. The ora'i)ns were
spoken with uncommon energy and were ex-
oeedingly well written. The name Of How
ard in ono of the orations, brought out the
applause of the hearers. Fourteen young
men received Diplomas, and the honorary
degree of d. d. was conferred upon tn Rev.
o. G. Stearns, pastor of the Baptist church
in Newton.
