INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.
A young man named John Fitzsimmons,
while carelessly handling gun discharged
the ball, with which it was loaded through his
foot lre5 &
A lad was run over on Congress street by q
team, and somewhat injured, though how Sc
verely we could not learn. The driver of the
team was not in fault, as he was watching a
lad very near his team on one side, while the
little fellow who was injured RIM directly in
font of the horses heads from the opposite
side
A lad, we could not learn his name, had his
right hand injured from the bursting of a pis-
toll he was firing. rsgo
Two or three cases OF runaway horses occur
red from firing guns and pistols on the streets.
On the whole the day passed off pleasantly
though quietly. 1t was great relief to ladies
and children that they could be abroad and
walk through the streets, without any danger
from fire crackers. This nuisance, we think
is now effectually abated. Z 7sf VI
The shower IN the forenoon, afternoon and

MECHANICS HALL.-The M. G. M. Associa-
ton propose to make an alteration in the
height of Mechanics Hall in order to render
it more favorable for its acoustic properties as
well as for other purposes. The plan pro-
posed is to floor over the present audience
room at the height Of the galleries, thus maxi
ing another hail. which may be used for vari-
GUS purposes in the then second story, as well
as leaving the present hall thirty feet high,
and thereby rendering it much more easy to
speak or hear in. This hall, though of hand
some appearance. is slightly out OF proportion,
by reason of its height as compared with its
length and width, and so much echo is pro
duced to sound as to make it little difficult to
hear in. A new staircase is to be built to run
directly from the door up to the various halls
in place of the present one running up from
the rear of the entry. e qar .t- r,.

THE brave people of the island OF CANDIDA
ancient Crete-are about to reap the reward
of their devotion and constancy. All the
great powers of Europe have addressed note
to the Sublime Porte urging an investigation
into the difficulties in the Island. The Cit.

tigated the manner in which M. 81. Reddy
manufactures to order Gents garments, have
come to the conclusion that if you wish te
avoid the difficulty Of an i'll fitting suit, cal

Wssibrsok Seminary.

THE Anniversary exercises Of this Seminary
and Female Collegiate Institute were held on
Wednesday in the new chapel. The. attend
ance was large and the weather delightful. To
saw that Chambers Band as present renders
unnecessary further word about the music.
Much might be said OF the other exercises by
those not SO well known to this community as
the Band, but space forbids. In general terms
whoever is placed under the tuition of Rev.
Mr.. McCollister and his associate instructors
would be expected to acquit himself handsome
ly; and such expectation was in no sense dis
appointed ON Wednesday last
The following yourg gentlemen delivered
orations: Messrs. B. 7. Colby, M. H. Dole,
G. c. Hall, G. w. Woodman, Victor Brett, G.
w. Foster, R. D. Elliot, Wallace Mayo, j. f.
Littlefeld, ard D. R. Slower. Essays were de-
livered by the following young ladies: Misses
Ella G. Chase Mary s. Ballou, Anna c. Leon
ard, Belle N. Woodsum, Orissa E. Greene,
Susan A. Humphrey, Helen S. KNIGHT MARIA
K. Almy, Isabella F. Jordan, Ella M. Frye
Lucy E. True, Emeline j. Pierce and cynthia
n. Record.
The tone of the orations and essays was
h;oblv patriotic and moral and religious, and
for the most part the elocution was admirable.
The memoriter speaking and the reading show
ed careful training, No institution of which
we have knowledge excels this in these sever
al respects. sigz "a iIf las Er-
In the afternoon an address by Rev. Mr.. Bodies
Of this city, was delivered, on the subject of
Practical Science, and poem by Miss H. Eva
Swan Of Chesterfield, N. H,-a graduate OF
the seminary two years since. The address
abounded with valuable thoughts, especially
adapted to the present time, when SO much is
taught in our seminaries of learning Of very
little practical importance in the stern rsali-
ties of life. -si 81 lob 5E
The poem was beautiful, as had been antio-
ipated. Historic in its character, it began with
the landing of the pilgrims, and ended with
the close of the rebellion. 1t was a just trib-
ute to the memory of our fathers, taken as a
whole, an accurate description of the country
in its several stages Of progress, and glowing
allusion to the martyr Lincoln and the procla-
| nation of emancipation. ''s-ts
A charming parting hymn was in the order
of exercises, written by Miss Julia S. Quinby
recently one of the teachers in the Seminary.
Though under the general direction of par
ticular sect, this Institute is entirely free from
sectarianisnl Careful observers of its course
for several years we are prepared to commend
the Seminary in the warmest terms as a fit
ting Institution for the education of our sons
and daughters in all that pertains to mental
culture and moral discipline. '4SS

in a very quiet manner. In some To-

commenced little before midnight, on the third

ally, the night of the third was more quiet than
it has been for many years. There were no
crackers fred, the city authorities having
prohibited the sale of them, and those who usu-

authorities, and declined laying in any sup
