The most noticeable feature of the exer-
ciscs was the superior education of both
orators and essayists. We have rever at
tended = commencement of any institution
where all the parts were so well performed
in this regard. The gentlemen were grace
full in gesture and manner, while their
voices showed manful training and culture.
The pronunciation was correct and the
words were clearly and deliberately enun-
ciated. The ladies read their essays so dis
tinctly that there was not the least difficulty
in hearing every word in the most remote
parts of the room, while in name they
were all unaffectedly easy and natural.
In respect to literary merit the exercises
were above the average. There were very
few trite and hackneyed sentiments and ex-
pressions, and the thoughts and arguments,
when arguments were attempted, were fresh
and original.
The essays by the representatives of the
two societies were both worthy ofhigh praise,
and those of Miss Stafford and Miss Prem
tiss possessed crest literary merit.
The Yaledictory was very touching and
appropriate, full Of high purpose and gen
erous enthusiasm.
The instrumental music was furnished by
Papworth's excellent band, and the vocal
by Miss Bradford and her we'll trained pu-
pills.
The graduating class was addressed by
Profs. Humiston and Thome, both of whom
spoke with much feeling.
The Alumni reception was held last even
ing at the Institute p%arlors, the address bo
ing delivered by Professor Fish, of Geauga
Seminary.

CoSTIyUED.-M. C. Taylor, a clerk in
Baldwin & Co.'S. store, was arrested a few
days ago for stealing about $500 worth of
silk. The stolen property was found in his
possession, but at the time, by request, we
did not mention the matter. Yesterday
afternoon he had a partial hearing before
Judge Abbey, and the case was continued
to the second of July. Taylor is from the
East and had been employed in the store

very respectable people, but the present
docs not seem to be his first offense.
