MIR. LEAvENwoRTH's RESPONSE.
"The circumstances in which / am
placed and the associations which are
called up by this gift of the citizens of the
place and the school of which i have had
charge, for the past few years, and taking
leave of you as do, with my thoughts re-
yerting to the sick room. and The thought
constantly harrassing my mind that shall
leave New Haven, with my family broken
up and scattered, have felt that, in view
of these things l could not go through the
exercises of the evening, and now can
scarcely find words to express my feelings
gratefully accept this tribute of respect
from you, being presented as it is. The
greatest satisfaction have derived from
mYslabors among you, has been that of
seeing SO many of my pupils in higher in
stitutions of learning, and from the fact
that their having taken so high honors
there The pupils which has had during
my career as a teacher are Filing places
of responsibility in many towns of our
state, yet can truly say that no portion of
my life as teacher has been so pleasantly
and pIofitably spent than the years | have
spent among you. Here l expected TO re-
main many years. but there are many rea-
sons which induced me to leave you. That
could not endure the strain which has
been put upon my physical powers for the
past year | was fully conscious. | trust
that the appearance of the classes sent out
and of which you have had a specimen thi;
evening, may be sufficient argument t.
prove that these labors have not been in
vain. / desire again to express my love
for this people. desire your prayers that
/ may be sustained in the arduous duties
which have undertaken in another part OF
the state.
| do not go because | desire to leave {
people who have shown me so much kind
ness in the past but in the hope of having
a larger field of usefulness, leave this
school ia your hands in the hope that il
will be as successful in the future as it hai
been in the past"
AT the close of Mr. Leavenworth's ad
dress, Oliver Smith, esq, president of the
board of trustees, assured Mr.. Leavenwortl
that the board deeply regretted his depart
ure, and extended to him their acknowledge
ments for faithful service he had rendered

years, and assured him of their kindest re
gard and we'll wishes for his future.
