WEsEBRooK SEMINARY.-Yesterdayt the ex-
animation of classes was continued, the num-
Der of spectators being larger than on the pre-
ceding day. Among the visitors were several
former students, who felt much interest in the
success of the institution. 1t is expected that
large number of the alumni will be present,
particularly at the social reunion on Thursday
evening. Quite of number have responded to
letters of invitation to be present
In the evening the public exercises of the
Eromathian Adelphi Society took place at the
Seminary Chapel. The programme opened
with an instrumental quartette for the violins
cornet and piano, and was followed by a decla-
nation. The question for debate was: -Resolred,
That the learned professions offer better oppor-
tunities of success for young men than business
pursuits. The debate was animated and decid-
eddy spicy; the disputants frequently 'bring-
ing down the house. by their sharp hits and
flights of oratory. At show of hands the
negative prevailed by handsome majority. A
song, very well sung by young lady student,
preceded an excellent essay on Pluck by a
young gentleman; another defamation fol-
towed, and the exercises closed with song by
the young lady above referred to. All the parts
were unusually well sustained, and the students
who participated are worthy of praise.
