SUNDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Sphs BaccuIaursate.

The exercises of Commencement week began
on Sunday, with the preaching of the Baccalau-
reate sermon before the members of the gradual
ing class. After the preliminary services, which
were conducted by President Cattell and Rev.
w. o. Johnstone, Rev. DIR. Newlin, eX-President
of Delaware College, at Newark, Del and now
of Hazeton, Pa, proceeded to deliver an i'm
pressiVe discourse from the following TEXT
'Young men Hkeac.Se erhort TO be sober minded"
Titus ii, 6.
When DR.. Newlin had concluded, President
Cattell arose in front of the altar and addressed
the graduating class in his happy way. Refer
ring to the time-honored custom of the country,
by which the Presidents of our colleges ad-
dressed the graduating classes just previous
to their going out into the world he said that
they were now assembled for the last
time, as a class, to engage in the public worship
of God. There were few duties he had to per-
form that so filed his heart with emotion or
impressed him with such a profound sense of his
responsible ty. For four years, with each recur-
ring Sabbath of the College term, they had met
together at the same altar, and as one ascending
cloud of incense their united prayers and sacred
songs had wreathed heaveuward. Now they
were about to separate; and while as instructors
and students there would be many recollections
OF the classroom and of the liberal studies they
had so long pursued together yet the recollec-
tions OF the sanctuary OF divine truth would rise
as!high above all others as the heavens are higher
than the earth. The President then referred at
length to the solemn work that lay before them
in the various walks of life, with its grave re-
sponsibilites and trials, and closed by paying
fitting tributes to the memory of the late DR..
Junkin and of member of the graduating class
who had died during the year.
The BEAInerd society.
On Sunday evening was held the anniversary
of the Branerd Evangelical Society,"" the eXer.
eises taking place in the Branerd Church, where
large aud interested audience was gathered.
The annual sermon was delivered by the Rev.
A. A. E. Taylor, and was an earnest exhortation
for the young to purify their lives by taking
heed TO the word OF God.

WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Tho Annual Common

When the sun came up in the east this morn
ing, its radiance was mellowed, but not obscured
by mist, and, taken altogether, the day was one
of the most opportune for an occasion of this
character. 1t has been practically universal
holiday, and at an early hour the streets of the
old town were alive with welldressed people,
intent on the eliminating event of the day. The
Commencement exercises were held IN the First
Presbyterian Church, to which resorted all who
took a more lively interest in the success of the
young men who were there to bid farewell to
their instructors and associates OF the past four
years. According to the custom, the procession
was formed at the foot of that forbidding STAIR
way leading up the hill on which stand the
College buildings. Martial music was an ineVl
table accompaniment of the occasion. There is
nothing like flourish of trumpets and a rum
bling of bass drums on momentOus occasions.
They impart degree of solemn eclat which
is not otherwise attainable; and, although they
have an air of vulgarity, because attracting
scores of ragged and bewildered urchins to the
scene, they as certainly inspire both partici-
pants and spectators with lveler sense of the
importance of the transpiring events. College
life has such a SAVIOR Of seclusiOn, is character
lied by such downright and monotonous plod-
ding, that the stir and hustle of commencement
day would be but half appreciated by Its devo-
tees, if their quiet, scholarly moods were not
thoroughly dissipated by the piercing notes of
tIombones and French horns, So too, it is
fitting that these young men, who for four years,
long and wearisome albeit so attractive, have
been patiently threading the avenues of Athens
and Rome, and the still more intricate path ways
which modern science has revealed should be
ushered into another and harsher world by
blare of trumpets and and sounding of drums.
After marching through the principal streets,
on the way from the starting point to the
Church, the procession entered, and shortly
after o'clock the regular exercises of Com
mencement Day began, under the superintend-
ence of the Rev. W, G. Cattell, d. D., the Presi
dent ofthe College. The programme observed
on the occasion was as follows:-

From our o,O1 Correspondents
FAsroN. Pa, July 29.-When the old-fashtoned
borough of Easton was selected as site for an
institution of learning, it was happily In obedl-
enee to that longing of the students heart for
the quiet and the picturesque. The town ana
its surroundings are certainly unsurpassed for
natural beauty, and art has lent helping hand
IN rendering it still more attractive. The Col
leee buildings are located on the brow OF hll
which might not inaptly be styled mountain.
In the valley below lies Easton, ensconced be-
tween the winding streams of the Delaware, the
lehigh, and the Bushkll, busy, thriving mart
made prosperous by the energy and industry OF
its people But the stir and hustle OF the town
do not ntrude upon the solemn beauty and
Beron,ty of the hilltop, where the devotee o.
ancient lore and modern science can pursue his
entcing studies in full view OF the world OF
strife, and yet apart from its distractions and
alurements.
The country roundabout presents all the
variety of the mountain and the plain, and is
well worthy the attention of the tourist for its
surprising natural beauties. Not the least
attractive of the scenes in the immediate
yicinity, is the cemetery on the sloping banks
of the Bushkill, which is one of the most beau
teul in the country. 1t contains many tne
monuments, most noticeable among which are
those erected over the remains of George Taylor,
one OF the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence; the Hon. James M. Porter, Presi-
dent Tylers Secretary OF War; and Governor
A. H. Reeder, of Kansas fame.
Lafayette College,
which is here located, has manifested during
the past year the most gratifying signs of pros
perity. This is shown by the fact that its per-
manent endowment has been increased to
$3.50 OO0 through the liberalty OF Mr. Pardee,
of Hazleton; Colonel Barton H. jerks, William
Adamson, ESQ.,. and John A. Brown, Esq, of
Philadelphia; and a number of other wealthy
gentlemen who can appreciate the power of
money in promoting the best interests of the
people through the diffusion of knowledge.
Another unmlstakable sign of the prosperity of
the College is shown by the fact that the num-
Der of students in attendance has increased
threefold within the past four years. In the
following table is given the numbers in attend
anCe during the past three years:-
