The ForRrH OF JULY.-A friend of ours
wishes to Know why we did not say any
thing last week about the great national
Fourth OF July. In response we :an only
say that We forgot it! Time was when we
should have INDUCED ourself illimitably
about the glorious epoch. We remember,
young as we are, when the Fourth Of July
was a gala-dav for our people. We had
Ibarbecucs, and the noblest citizens of our
country exercised themselves to do honor
to the day. Many a noble farmer who will
read this number ofour paper. remembers
the Joy with which all his neighbors looked
forward to the Fourth of July, and n
ineighbor would vie with another to see
Who could pfodice, upon the honorable
occasion, the latest lamb, or shoat, or
quarter Of beef. And there was peace and
q~uiet-thcre was law and order-in all this
land The glorious Fourth was ushered
In with rejoicing. Some NJ read the Dec
layation of independence. All, or heart
even yet is pleased with the thought we
had then that perchance some day we, too,
would be called upon to read the Declara-
tIon 81 Independence. This was d child
ish ambition which filled our Juvenile
heart. We saw the eyes ola vast multi
tude bent upon the man who read the glo.
srious~ declaration. and we took this inter-
estsin him rs OH evidence OF their love, and
heart yearned for love as scorched veg
citation doth yearn for the refreshing
shower. When we grew to be a big man
we thought we, too, would read the Dec
laration Of Independence, and obtain COM
pliments for our distinct enunciation, &c.
Alas for our childish hopes In the course
Of human affairs there Is no stability, npth-
ing secured or permanent. Our hopes make
us happy, then languish, droop and flde
away. like wanton children we swim
upon fragile bladders over the sea Of the
'0nexplored future, and nost Of US are

of six teachers. The number Of students,
matriculated in all departments. reached
Ia which exceeds the number of any pre-

the Institution.
The general conduct Of both teachers
and students has been remarkably good,
while that of the students of the Collegiate
Department has been unprecedented in
my history as a teachcr-thc entire deport-
ment being good of each student, without
u single exception; and this is true of them
during my entire presidency over the
school. For particulars, you are referred to
my Record Book, containing the Monthly
Report of attendance, Scholarship, and
Department wbi, h exhibits degree ofex-
cellcnce seldom cquallcd in any l%nstltu-
