sermon to the graduating class by Rev J. II. Ed
wards, Of West Lebanon, n H., was a we'll written
and happily delivered essay upon the "Best use of
Educational Talent" The examination Of the classes
occupying the three following days. gave evidence of
the thorough and faithful instruction given in the
Seminary. 1t was apparent that the teachers had
done more during the year than simply to hear the
rcctatons of their classes. Nothing but ong-con.
tnued and patient drilling in practical exercises CON

and especially the in Algebra, attracted attention
for the promptness with which the topics were rccit

Mr., Schustcrs closing performance on the piano, in

he is capable Of doing and It is rather likey if he
goes on in the same way, that his audiences will be-
