The Commencement Ball, on Thurs
day night, l can only speak of second
handed. That it was a success, / in
fer from the fact. that day light dawn
ed upon the dancers.
Thus have / briefly attemp pied to
chronicle the Commencement of 1868
1t would require columns to detail the
many things which gave interest and
zest to the exercises. The at
tendance of visitors was quite large
and while many distinguished citizens
of the State, who are in the habit of at
tending, were this time absent, the
fact was felt and appreciated, that they
were at their several homes, exertine
their personal Influence in behalf OF
Constitutional Liberty and against
Radical and Negro domination. The
we'll known Trustees, were nearly al
present, and occupied seats on the
1 platform throughout the entire exer
cises.
To Judge Howry, the efficient Secre-
tary and Treasurer, and to several
members of the Faculty, your cor. es
pendent is indebted for polite and
hospitable attentions. LOGAN.
