GonDAKp SEMINARY. The closing exercises
Of this flourishing Institution commenced on
Sunday last, with baccalaureate sermon from
Rev. j. f. Wright, of this village. The ser
mon was a wel-written and scholarly produc-
ton, and was listened to with interest. On
Monday evening occurred the Junior Exhibi-
ton, which passed of in a more than usually
pleasant manner. The exercises opened with
music by the class orchestra, consisting of yio-
lin, cornet, bass and piano. The declarations
were delivered in a remarkably easy and we'll
sustained manner, and almost without prompt
ing, We notice especially those Of George f.
Bertrand, of Plattsburgh, n Y, and Curtis
is. Wooster, of Marsh6eld which were re-
markably good, The vocal duet by Messrs
Wooster and Dickinson was very well rendered
as was the song by Miss Cora King, of East
Montpelier. The essays By the ladies showed
much study and care in their preparation, and
were well delivered, that especially Of Miss
Nell n. Badger, of Mortified, being particu-
larly good, while those Of Miss King, Of East
Montpelier, and Miss Alice HOLSTER, of North
Montpelier are deserving of especial mention
The exercises closed with music, followed by
benediction by Rev, Mr.. Chaiiee. The exer-
cises of the graduating class occur at 80 thi;
morning followed at . 80 NJ. by the an
nual address by Rev. A. j, Garfield, of Chelsea
Mass, and poem by Rev. Il. j Challee, OF
| Chester.
A portion of the graduates met in the chapel
Monday afternoon, and effected more perma
nent organization than the one attempted las
year. The meeting was called to order by +
w. Eddy, of the class of 10, who was electeC
president pre- TEN, with B. w. Braley as secre
tary. A constitution and bylaws were theT
presented for consideration by Messrs Edd,
