HIRAM.



The Commencement Exercises of Hiram Col
lege took place last week. according to the pro-
gramme enclosed
IOur correspondent neglected to enclose the
Programme-Ed. Prsss.l
The crowd in attendance far excelled that of
one and two years ago, and would have been,
undoubtedly much larger this year, had not the
weather assumed threatening aspect in the
morning. However the place was full and
overfowing. and with one exception, the num-
ber in attendance was the largest ever gathered
in this place. 1t was the universal opinion that
the exercises in point of ability was the best
ever presented from this institution. The abili-
ty displayed, and the interest manifested by
such large number in attendance, and the per-
feet good order maintained, indicates that the
College is in a prosperous condition.
The procession in the morning was a magnifi-
cent display, and it is to be regretted that more
could not have been present at the early hour
of its march, to witness it. Many of the ladies
took especial pains for the occasion having re-
ceiYed their dresses direct from Madame De-
morest, of New York. The performances each
evening were well attended. and we hear the ef-
forts highly spoken of. The music by the Band
and by the Glee Club could not fail to please
the most acute ear.
At the reunion many familiar faces were to be
seen, hot fresh and racy as in student days, but
furrowed by time and the struggles of life. The
day was happily and agreeably spent in speech
es, brief addresses, songs and conversation, and
remiscences of happy college days. &c.
A picnic dinner was served and hugely rel
ishcd by all.
The Cornet Band generously donated the
music.
One week ago last Sabbath the Sunday School
classes presented to E. A. Pardee, an elegant
Autograph Album and Bible. token of re-
spect and appreciation of his efforts as teacher
and chorister. Mr.. Pardee was one of the grad
uating class of 1871.
Prof. Hinsdale, has been afflicted for several
months past with Kleptomaniac, who was

She appropriated everything possible from jew

In Mr.. E. e. Udall's family was partially afiict-
ed with the same disease. After having dis
gorged the stolen articles, they were permitted
to leave, with an admonition to sin no more.

CORRESPONDENCE. Di-'j =
Copious showers for the past week have some
what changed the appearance of crops in this
section, and also changed the countenances of
the farmers.
Aurora is to have new church. Six thou
sand dollars ($6,000) is subscribed for its erec-
ton. The job is let to Mr.. Brooks, of Cleveland.
The "Old Brick Church is torn down, the
rubbish is to be cleared away, and the founda-
tion for the new one laid on the ground where
the old brick " stood by the 18th of July All
services are hereafter to be held in the Disciple
Church until the completion of the new ole.
There is to be a Sabbath School Picnic held

Sabbath Schools of Solon, Bainbridge, Mantua,
Streetsboro and Twinsburgh, are invited. tl-i -
Rev. Mr. Griffin, of Kent, has occupied the
pulpit of the Disciple Church two weeks, and
we believe that effort will be made to secure
his services for the year to come.
Died June oath, after brief illness, Mrs. H.
K. Jewett, aged 81 years. Mr.. Jewett and wife
had, short time since, taken possession of their
new home. and overwork in fitting it up is
said to be the cause of her death. Little did we
think, when less than three months ago we saw
her moving to her new home in the full enjoy
ment of health and happiness, that the next
time we gazed upon her countenance, it would
be cold in death. Verify are we reminded of
the saying, " That when we are in the midst of
life, we are in death. z ~ W.

TAE annual exercises of the Raven
ma High School took place at Citizens
Hall on Thursday evening last. The
Hall was crowded almost to suffoca-
ton, at very early hour, as is usual
on such occasions. We were unable
to attend, but learn that the exercises
were of very interesting character,
and that those who took part in them
acquitted themselves in a credible
manner, demonstrating that they have
been attentive to their studies, and
that the teachers who ave had the
direction of our schoo, have been
faithful in the discharge of their re-
sponsible duties.

ry lawyer, and are recognized as standard au-
thority allover the land 5s = gss
The present volume :. Laws of Business is
designed especially for the people, its object be-
ing to give TO every intelligen man a conpe-
tent knowledge of the general rules of law in
volved in the ordinary business transactions of
every day life. -
z The name of its author is sufficient guaran :
ty that the accuracy of this work may be set
down as unquestionab1e and an examination
shows it to be wide in its scopeas to cover ev-
cry conceivable transa saction of business nature
that is likely to arise. In it will be found full
and lucid explanations of our various rights,
duties and obligations. directions for the trans
action of all sorts of legal business, and very
ments in ordinary use.
A book of this kind, from thoroughly COM
petent source, has long been wanted. Its value
cannot be too highly appreciated, when we con-
slider the amount of expensive litigation which
is constantly arising from ignorance of the pa-
ture and legal force of obligations assumed, OF
from inaccuracies, in the forms of business
transactions saGa91 T9H ~ r tastH

Its resemblance to the latter is striking that
none but the most expert professionals can de-

substitutes for pure gold hitherto invented,
Milton gold is the first that has achieved gen.
uine and permanent success. But its adyan-
tage carat gold in point of price is its lead
ing feature, Rings, Brooches, Bracelets, Lock

CAR LOAD OF Wool BnRNED.-Last
Thursday afternoon, between five and
six o'clock, car loaded with wool,
attached to the freight train on the A.
& G. W. Ry., bound east was discov-
cred to be on fire just before arriving
at this station. The car was run down
to the tank and an effort made to turn
the water upon it from the spout, but
without success, when the car was run
back. and upon the side track near the
Atlantic Mill and allowed to burn
There were 1915 pounds of sacked
wool in the car, which was loaded
at Gallon. About 1000 lbs. was drawn
out with hooks in somewhat dam
aged condition. The balance, togeth-
er with the car was entirely destroyed.
1t made quite lively fire. The loss
upon the wool is estimated at about
$4,000. The cause of the fire is not
known; some attribute it to sponta-
neous combustion of the wool, while
others think it was caused by sparks
from the locomotive.
