the observation-disclosures. Champlin and Hen
derson, Lawyers, and DR.. Smith.
To give an idea of each debater, can
only say. that each was really standard
of excellence in himself, and deserves to
be enrolled on the annals of the college, to
stimulate the ambition of future aspirants
to sinli lar honors. Icannot refrain from Civ
ing the names of the young orators Master
G. G. Lee, President, who proved himself
well worthy his honorable position: The
J. G.. Virden, w. Brashear, and w. G.
Flower. On the French side were: Mas
tiers +. S. Richard, F. Perilloux and~.J. B.
Stubs.
A more ably contested debate I never
heard. In whatever way you view it,
either in force of augmentation, elegance
of composition, or style of delivery, you
would call it masterpiece for such young
heads, aud you would be forced to exclaim,
honor to the Alma Mater that produces
such intellectual gladiators. 1t would look
invidious here to mark any particular one
for special praise, were it not that the palm
for eloquence is acknowledged by all his
fellow students to belong to Master Stubs.
The committee acknowledged they were
on the side Of England till his speech, as
their prejudiees all led them that way but
on the conclusion of his harangue, all argu-
ments on the other side fairly disappeared,
and were swept away by the beauty, the
overwhelming force Of his eloquence.
When the decision of the committee was
made known by their chairman, such a
cheer and applause ensued that will long
be remembered within the walls of that
college; plainly showing, in trumpet
tongues, on which side the majority of
the audience inclined. All of those young
men will yet make their mark, and Master
Stubbs, if he does not invite a shadow on
his owr path, may promise himself bright
and brilliant career.
The natural inference to be drawn from
all this intellectual display of four days, is
one of pride, that there is SO near us a
college, now second to none, either in its
beautiful surroundings, it's qualifications
for imparting knowledge and preparing
students for the highest walks in science
and literature, thus obviating the necessity
of sending away to Northern, or remote
institutions, our sons, while we have all
our proudest ambition can desire at our
own door. There will be, we believe, a
very full session next year from all parts.
infer this from many reasons. The friends
of the students We're unanimous in their
praise of the college, and seemed deter
mined to spread its claims abroad. In con-
clusion, we sincerely hope that the future
success of this eminent institution of learn
ing will be commensurate with its merits ;
and this cannot fail to be the case as soon
as the Southern people are made fully
acquainted with it. NJ.

very fair guarantee that the examination
was thorough and searching; and no SIM
ulation.
The fourth and fifth days were conse-
Grated to oratorical and dramatical exhibi-
tiOns-relieved by music and song.
I'VE will publish the address in our next,
being too late for this issue.
The interesting performances were finally
wound up by a solemn distribution of pre-
miums, and the GROWING of the young, but
(dOubtless) ambitious heads of the -deserv-
ing ones; after which the alumni electrified
the audience by simultaneous and vocif
erous demonstration of their cordial appre-
>eiation of the event that burst the bonds
which, for ten long months, had chained
them to their desks.
The auditory dispersed highly gratifed !;
and we, Illuminating on the felicity of such
occurrences, felt rising wish akin to that
which lie must have felt, who immortalized
John Gilpin's famous ride to Isfington.
One of those days, Mr.. Editor, We must
seize an opportunity of sending you a de-
scription of the magnificent College build
ing; Of the airy and shady play grounds !;
of the Philosophical, Cabinet, and other ap-
purtenances; of the Marist Fathers too,
who conduct this College. These gentlemen
are not " Brothers" as some have supposed;
but Priests-educators of ability and expe-
rience, who have founded educational es-
adjustments "a well as OMISSIONS" in
various parts of the world; even ut the
antipodes.
Till then, eau revoir."

THE IRISH IN VERMONT.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
writing from Mortified, Vermont, thus re-
fers to the Irish residents there:
The Irish, formerly found only as hired
laborers, building our railroads and cities,
are found in this region in possession Of
FARMS Several, / was told, have become
owners of farms in the town, which they
manage very well. In one school district,
their children composed the majority of the
scholars, and the teacher said they ,rerc the
more bright and better behared portion Of the
school. In a small adjoining town, the Irish
compose the majority of the population.
This brings forward the indomitable, all
pervading race under a new aspect. Are
they to own and till our soil as well as build
our works of improvement
Mortified. 20 doubt, is pleasant, heal
thy region, but the Irish can do better by
coming South, where the soil is rich, the
climate genial. and the people hospitable
and generous. This is a propitious time, the
land being low in price, terms accommodate
ing, and every facility offered to settlers.
There are exceptions, of course, even in
Vermont, but the prevalent sentiment is
that of a rabid hostility to everything Irish
and Catholic. When railroads were being
built by Irish bone and muscle, connecting
Fairhavsn with Castleton, etc, it was the
usual custom to refer every evil committed
in the neighborhood to these foreigners );
and we recollect at Union prayer meeting
held in Benson, town nearer Lake Cham
plain, and not yet invaded by Romanists
and railroads, prayer was made to the
Deity to the following purport 1--WE thank
thee, o God, that thou hast cast our lines
in pleasant places, and thus far shielded us
from the communicating influences of Papists
and the emissaries of the Man of Sim This
same {" Union prayer meeting" was COM
posed of Congregationalists, Baptists, and
Methodists, and were at enmity on every
point, except in abusing Catholics. Let
the Irish come South, then, and occupy our
rich alluvial or pine region, and reap the
rich reward in store for the persevering and
Industrious. Let them abandon the cities.

WATER DRINKING.-At this season when
the desire to allay thirst by inordinate
drinking is alluring and tempting, frequent
ly leading to serious consequences, the ex-
pcrience of DR.. Madden, while travelling in
Egypt, may be of service. He says:
The Bedorlin Arabs gave me counsel,
which | found wise one. = The more a
traveller drinks during the day, when ex-
posed to the scorehing rays of the sun, the
more thirsty he gets; and, finally. these CO.
pious draughts have a prejudicial effect on
health. At night, it is no matter how much
any one drinks; indeed, the more he takes
the less thirsty he is liable to be the next
day. For this reason, the Bedouins, follow
ing the example of their camels, lay i'll a
stock of water for the next day.

perfection of Christian charity and manly
kindness: it places us all along the way Of
mutual moral dangers; it levels Us all above

shows to all that oftense is common in.

of our ready reach. He fell to-day |

AGRICULTURAL.

EoCILIBRIUM IN THE CRAZE VINE.-Keep
up the balance between the wood and the
fruit OF your grape vines. This find the
most important point in grape culture.
There must he wood or there can be no
fruit. If the wood suffers the grape must
suffer-both then suffer. The vine is weak
ened by the excess of fruit. and unable not
only to perfect its crop, but its wood also.
! us Is commOn-nOthing more common.
Grow a large crop of fruit, and you are sure
10 grow small crop of vine, and what you
get is imperfect it cannot perform its fune-
lions properly. Nothing seems worse than
to see such suffering wood ON q good, we'll
disposed vine. The very source that pro-
duces the fruit is crippled, and the fruit, in
consequence, must suffer correspondingly.
We see this to large extent; it is COM
mon, general evil. We prune too much
We prune too little on the other side at the
same time. Thin out the fruit, the small
clusters, the crowded parts, and the punches
Themselves, and you will arrest the current
and throw it back on the wood in part thin
out one-third, one-half, or quarter-thin
so as to get fair, good crop. Avoid, as
you would death, an overbearing crop, a
its great yield. Get medium good crop,
and you will have it always A celebrated
crop is celebrated only once. Less pruning,
then, and more extent on the trellis, more
air and sun, less but better fruit, and fruit
aMays-wood withstanding the cold and
tent. Pinch, but pinch carefully, to get up
a balance. S0the duids of the human sys-
tenn must be in balance. Then there is
nothing one-sided; theheyerything goes off
harmoniousIy. So does the>xine IN Europe
proper so does it here to me<extent SO
will it always if kept in its balance.>-Iour-
