One hundred years ago
June roses bloomed below
June skies CLEANED bright
What time from sun to sun
Heroic deeds were DONE
And blood-bocght laurels won
On Charlestown's height!
One hundred years and row
A mighty people bow
In grateful praise;
The crown to those who fight
For freedom, truth, and right
North, South, East, West, unite
Glad songs to raise!
one hundred years to GOMEZ
though voices shall be dumb
That sing to-day.
Yet as June roses will
For other eyes bloom still,
So may true heroes fill
Our land Away
st GATHERINGS Hall. Il. l.. T..
Benedicton by Bishop Nealley.
AS will be seen, the programme embraced two
departments, music and English composition.
The essays were well written and one or two were
especially meritorious
The address by Bishop Nealley was exceedingly
appropriate and listened TO with interest. His re-
marks were not prepared, and were devoted prin-
cipally TO explaining the objects of the institution,
the high standard Of instruction sought to be at
tanned, and the development of Christian charac-
ter which was sought to be promoted. Although
the past year there had been slight falling off in
the number of pupils, still it was gratifying to the
friends of the school that there was to be an in
creased attendance at the next term. There was
every prospect that the school would now receive
better patronage than ever, and that it was des-
tined to enjoy a permanent prosperity. He re-
ferred in praiseworthy terms to the excellent pro-
auctions which all had listened to with apparent
satisfaction.
Rev. Mr.. Millar, for the examining committee,
made satisfactory report Of their labors the past
two days.
No diplomas were awarded, for the reason that
the class was not ready for graduation, not having
taken the final course of study.
After the close Of the exercises, collation. was
served.
