sumed on Wednesday, at nine o'clock.
Rev. A. N. Adams of Farhavep, Pitt W.
Hyde, ]. B. Bromley, II. o. Higley, Rev.
w. p. Gilbert, of Castleton, Hewey Spen-
Ger, of Burlington, w. G. Bardeen, for
merly of Whitehall and many others were

At nine o'clock q gymnastic exhibition
was given in the Normal Hall by Miss
Moody and her class.
The class in spelling was examined at the
same hour, by Miss Bissell. At ten class
in French was examined by Mrs. Will
lams The young ladies belonging to it
showed such marked proficiency, that they
merit special attention by name. They
were Misses Kilburn, Kelley, Pratt, Haw-
kins, Wilson and Dewey.
The examination of class in elocution
by the teacher, Miss Annie Thomas, was
simply delightful: The single and concert
readings were of the finest character, but
the cunning features were a concert recita-
ton by the entire class, charmingly arrang-
ed upon the stage, and single rccitations by
Misses Bromley and Pratt.
Miss Bromley gave Mrs. Brownings
"Mother and Poet" with fine dramatic
effect. Miss Pratt gave "Our Folks and the
best compliment that can be paid this
young lady is to state the fact that her en-
quisite rendering of this beautiful poem
moved her audience to tears.
A colloquy on Ancient History, compar-
cd ard arranged by Mrs. Williams, was
given by seven young lads and was very
fine. Miss Ella Bromley was examined in
Buffers Analogy by Mr.. Williams, the
Principal.
Evidences of clear, logical and well
cultivated mind were amply shown in all
the exercises in which this young lady has
been concerned. Her examinations have
demonstrated the ardor with which she has
pursued her course of study to the end,
and her modest, womanly ways have won
for her a warm admiration.
The examination ended at twelve o'clock
and an hour was occupied by the closing
remarks of Mr.. Williams and others. Mr..
W. read the marks of scholarship, and the
average high standing of the pupils spoke
volumes for the management of the school,
and the efficiency of the teachers. Testi-
monials of merit were conferred on the
members of the Primary class and upon
such of the other students whose standing
is at high figure, but who have been con-
dnccted with the school less than year
The chapel was beautiful with the paint
ings and drawings of the students, and
over the blackboard, in large gilt frame,
hung the Roll of Honor. This consisted
of the names of those whose standard of
scholarship was above %. The following
is the list
Ella Bromley, Della Clark. Jennie
Chcever, Minnie Fenncll, Jessie liaulsins,

Remarks made offer by Messrs. Adams
Bromley Bardcen. Hyde, Gilbert, Spencer
and NJ. b. Smith. Esq, of Port Henry,
whose two sons have been under Mr.. Will
liams' charge the past two years. MIR.
Williams dismissed the students with
many affcctionate words and warm wishes
for their happiness.
The graduates reception was apleasant
affair The long line of ladies and gen
tlemcn-of both schools receiving the con-
gratulations of their friends as gracefully
as they were warmly bestowed. The par
lors and park were thronged with visitors
whose gala dresses gave these places the
look of a flower garden in the reflection of
the myriads of lanterns in the trees. and
the numberless lamps Illuminating every
portion of the Seminary and Normal build
ing The clear, beautiful night was made
more delightful by the sweet sounds dis
pcnsed by the Hibernian Band OF Fair
haven. who furnished most excellent mu-
sic gratutously. This band of musicians
have won golden opinions among us here
toforc, and their kindness and good will
manifested in their volunteered services
last night, will be long remembered by us.

mence at ten o'clock. The Normal class
will read in the Congregational church in
the morning the Seminary class at two
o'clock.
