congratulate you upon the benefit you
have derived from study and instruction in
this school, and upon the successful results
of the examination through which you
have just passed. To that examination
some of you came, and through il some of
you passed, with serious fear of its results.
In some instances those conducting the eX-
animation fully sympathzed with you in
that fear, but they were exceedingly glad
at last to say to the class "All shall receive
certificates
Though there were some grave dcficien-
cies in your examination, and none were
found perfect, nor was that expected, your
examiners found in you much bright prom
isc for the future. But do not think the
work OF preparation finished, it is, indeed,
but just begun. Through your whole
course Of teaching you will find need of
daily preparation for your work. Fail not

study and careful thought.

The comforting of diplomas was by Rev
X G Williams, principal of the schools,
who read short poem, in which he con-
graduated them that this auspicous day
had arrived; complimented them upon
their successful course of study, advised
them to study nature in all things, and to
press on with their chosen work and hoped
that rs caoh one laborcd on from year to
year. they would gather fruitful har-
vest.
The audience in attendance was larger
by far than in the morning, and we were
Informed that it was one of the largest
ever assembled at commencement.
Large delegations were in attendance from
Poultney, Fairhavcn. and some from Rut-
land. We noticed in the audience Mr. T.
Sherman of Rutland, G + Jackman of
Poultney, E } Hyde of IIydevile, J Bacon,
VI ID, of Saratoga, Rev Mr. Pierce of Pout-
ney, l. Stone, Esq, of Boston, and Miss
Alice Dimick. former graduate of the in
sltulion.

and waited long for them have received
their diplomas and certificates. Their

EVENING.
The commencement exercises were
brought to u fitting close by grand con-
cert, which was given by Sullivans 10Th
Regiment band and orchestra, in the Con-
gregaional church, which was kindly
opened by the trustees for the occasion.
The concert throughout was fully up to
all expectations indeed, those who had
listened to the muSic given by it during the
day were agrecably disappointed, for, al
though much had been expected, the ex-
| pectations were more than realized The
playing by the orchestra was excellent, and
the singing by Mrs Shaver was all
that could be desired. Mrs. Shaver was
| perfect stranger, bat by her fine singing
and easy manner on the stage,
meet with hearty reception should she
ever visit this place again, and we think
that the band gave such perfect satisfac-
ton they will surely be INVITED to be in
attendance ut the next commencement, for
although Halls and Graffua's bands have
attended on commencement exercises here.
many publicly declare that they were out
done in the concert of last evening.
