Some years since the custom was instituted
by the graduates of the High School of giving
q party to, the graduating class of the year
passed. Last evening the annual event oc-
CURED, and in addition to the customary invi-
tations, the press of the city and the represen-
tatives of the several journals who are attend :
ing upon the Convention were also honored.
+ The hour for assembling was eight o'clock,
but it was fairly nine before the guests had
gathered in sufficient numbers to commence
the usual grand promenade. But after that
time the hall began to fill rapidly, and by half
past nine most brilliant party was in the full
tide of success. The ladies' and gentlemen
were all in full dress, and wedo otremember
an affair Of the kind in City Hall more elegant
in all its appointments. The music furnished
by the Portland Band was composed Of the
choicest gems, and under its inspiring strains,
after supper, the dance was entered into with
that zest which belongs only to the young. :
The ladies all looked charmingly and were
dressed in the best q Taste, their -tarlstan
robes, with the addition of floral adornments,
setting off their youthful charms to the best
advantage, and as We gazsd upon them we
felt that the reputation of our Portland girls
for beauty was not 'ill-bestowed The supper,
which was furnished BY Lucy was of the best,
and we have rarely seen a more appetizing
sight than the long table, spread in the recep-
ton room, loaded with the luxuries Of the
season and adorned with the choicest flowers.
We are sorry that We have not space to en-
large upon our theme, but sufice it to say that
it was decided success. The reception COM
mittee consisted Of Messrs. Gordon and Root
ofthe School Committees aud Misses Adams
and Hart Of the class of '6s. Among the dis
tinguished guests was Rev. DIR. Fisk of De-
troit.

CREpo.-This book is bold and vigorous
discussion of the disputed doctrines ofesan-
gelical Christianity, and Is adapted to the pres
ent times, especially to the want Of all young
men belonging to, or interested in the success
ofChristian associations. And the work should
be in the hands of every working member of
the various Christian organizations in the
country. Nearly every department Of modern
scientific discovery so far as 1t relates to thso-
ogy and revelation, has passed under careful
review. Credo fills a place occupied by no
other book, and viii be especially priced by
those who are ienquiring for the rational evi
dences of the evangelical belief The author
seems to have fought his way through doubts
and skepticism into the Christian faith, and,
unlike those who prostitute Christianity to the
terms and theories of Liberalism, he compels
modern thought to subserve Orthodoxy.
This book is published by Lee s. Shepard
of Boston and Is for sale by al booksellers
