The Fairfax Anniversary.


Upon the outer page will be found
"a well-written report which we take,
condeuse and add to, from the Rut-
land Herald The report was con-
tributed by the Rev Edwin Wheelock,
of Cambridge, as we are informed-a
gentleman who knows from OBSERVE
ton whereof he afirms.
This Institution which ought to be
called the Fairfax Institution from the
place of its location, rather than New
Hampton" where it was located prior
to 1856, is well deserving of more gen
eral support than it has hitherto re-
ceived.
The literary societies to. which the
report on our first page refers, had
their respective reunions and dinners.
At them there was the usual amount
of toast-giying as well as eating
and speech making. The Social Fra
ternity were addressed by Messrs.
Douglass, Wheelock, Taylor, Batchel-
der, Brown, J. NJ Hotchkiss, kelton,
Colburn, of St Adams, and others
The Literary Adelphi were address
ed by the1stv. Or. Bigelow, Rev. Mr..
Archibald, of Bristol, and others whose
names we were not fortunate enough
to learn.
The anniversary exercises were
closed with music, and remarks called
forth impromptu by Prof. Butler, Act
ing President. Ia these short, off
hand remarks, Messrs. Douglass,
Whitney, Dean, DR.. " T. Rood, Of
Fletcher, Elder Dunn, Bowditch Of
the Frontier Sentinel, and others, were
= more or less conspicuous and happy.
