at Brookvills College. The examination
Of classes began on Monday, aud contin-
ued for two and half days, as per pro.
gramme. Glasses were examined In all
The scientific branches, as we'll as ia Greek
and Latin. The students gave evidence
Of thorough training, and all the visitors
spoke ia terms Of the highest commenda-
ton of both professors and students. Rev
Mr.. Studley, OF Cincinnati, delivered q
poem on "Folies'' Monday night, to the
literary societies connected with the Col
lege, full Of wit, humor and solid truth.
His audience was delighted above meas
ure with bis effort, and oil left the hall
feeling that the evening had not been
misspent. The concert by the pupils of
the music class, under the direction of
Prof. Henry Knauer, on Tuesday night,
was very creditable affair, considering
the youthfulness Of the pupils, and the
short time the Professor had to train them.
