JUNIOR ExHIBITIoN.-The annual
exhibition of the Junior Glass Of Mid
dlebury College occurred at the Chapel
last Tuesday evening. Music was fur
nished by the College Quintette Club,
consisting of Seniors Stone, Bradshaw,
and II. E. White, and Juniors Wines
and Porter. The music was superior
and admitted by all, to be in infinitely
better taste, all things considered, than
the more pretentious performances of
foreign importations besides, consd-
cradle expense was saved.
The subjects.selected by the speakers
were interesting ones, such rs were
especially adapted to the time and oc-
casion. The programme was published
in full, in our last issue.
The house was filled to overlooking
at an early hour, and large numbers
were obliged to atand through the en-
tire exhibition.
The orations were all creditable and
oouiS vi thcuh copVOioiy oASSiiCho Wiz
delivery was manly, unpretentious
and in some cases exceedingly happy.
In the Colloquy four different styles
of conversation were happily illustra-
ted, -"Ye man of ponderous words"
"Ye youthful slangist," "Ye creature
of nature" aye man of unadorned
conversation, the two former styles
in manner to elicit demonstrations
Of pleasure and amusement from the
audience.
With single exception, the enter
tainment gave general satisfaction
Unless some method can be devised by
which better order shall be maintained
the better classes of our citizens will
soon decline to attend these hitherto
popular entertainments. How much
of the noise was unnecessary on that &C.
casion we cannot say. But the expert
ment of admission fees, or, police
system for the occasion, would, it seems
to us, be worthy of trial.
e. r. Clay's new goods make most
attractive display, now that they are
opened to the light If you wish to see
an exhibition Of good taste in making selec-
tons and purchases, just step into Clay's
and see his new goods and when there
don't forget to purchase.
