CHOSEN to deliver the Yaledictory an honor
conferred usually upon the graduate who
has most distinguished himself in scholas
tic attainments, and earned the first honors
Oh MS class and school. The Valedctory
Is published at length in the Philadelphia
Eoenang bulletin, of July 9th, and would
doubtless crafty the numerous relative,
and friends, of Master Smpers. in this
county, to have it repubished in The Uhfa
but the crowded condition of our column,
with matters more immediat ;Iy local over
rules our wish to yield to that desire.
On entering the school young Simmer,
was handed over by one of the leadino
members of the facu,ty to the teacher q
the class to which be was assigned with tn,
cavalier remark that here was a MARYLAND
boy, take him and do the best YOU ca,

speedily avenged by his gaining and retain
ing a position at the head of his class, ant
receiving, at the close of the recent term
the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with tn,
highest hOnors Of his class.
