last June,) visited this furnishing seminary Of
learning, and madc an address lie commenced
by speaking of the realization Of the hopes and
prophecies of that day when they laid the corner
stone, and congratulated thepeople on being able
so soon to see the building completed and the
school in so successful operation under thorough
teachers. lie proceeded to show how much de-
pended upon forming proper habits Of study, and
the Development that would be the fruit Of care
less, as well as thorough study
lie spoke at some length upon the benefits de-
rived from classical study and in a clear and con-
else manner showed how much easier the student
would master other branches, if he first mastered
the Latin and Greek languages, and illustrated
by examples that thorough discipline was always
rewarded, and that the very branch which a stu
dent dislikcd the most, and was the least willing
to pursue, was often the most useful TO him IN
actual life and he would rise up and bless his
teachers for requiring him to give his attention
to it, The entire address was full Of noble
thoughts, and was listened 10 with marked atten-
ton by large and intelligent audience.

it simply bowlder, or series ofbowders perhaps

The rock itself TO resist water, good or bad ?
Upon these facts depends the value Of Mr. Her
rick's calculation as to the time required to re-
duce the lake, granting that the estimate Is sci
entiiically andaccumtely made upon the assumed
dimensions Of the outlet. For If the rock can
not resist hepowor Of the water, this assumption
will lail the channel will be enlarged perhaps

the peremptory duty Of the General Assembly to
provide for and practice the strictest economy in
