Quartctte -"When all is Hushed'
The house was filed to overlooking
many failing to obtain seats.
The orations were all good, showing
conclusively the interest and importance
that ought to be attached TO this bI ancl
of instruction in our colleges, namely, tina
of frequent writing and speaking upoi
topics of general interest.
Among the orations particularly notice
able, was that pronounced by Mr.. Georg,
III. Owen, of Rutland. The very scholarl,
manner of its composition and deliver,
made n favorable impression upon tn
minds of the audience. The Grafton o

diences listened much better to sui n dis
cussions, because there is hardly on bu
is, to greater or less degree, infor. net
upon the very subject under considerati, IN
An opportunity is thus afforded for con ,

The weather, although rainy in the
early part of the evening, was delightful
and general satisfaction was the result of
the entertainment n.
