Rev. ]. D. M'Clintock delivered

! htN. u. ~. vi CiintOCk CettVeTeU
the address to the students, and We
would be glad to publish the whole
Of it it was short, practical, direct
and beautiful production. 1t was
not one of the hackneyed, stereotyped
addresses to students that We have
been accustomed to hearing. all our
lives, but fresh, vigorous and origin
al. 1t was greatly admired by. all
present.
After the address of Mr.. M'Clin.
took, B. W. Byrne, Esq, State Su-
perintendent, made few remarks,
and then Prof. Chesterman presented
diplomas to the graduating class.
Col. Byrne, in behalf of the Board
of Regents, expressed their satisfac-
ton with the success of the school
during the past year, and urged its
friends to rally around it and support
it in the future. After the exercises
in the Hall We're over, there was a
very pleasant social meeting in the
parlols of the college, where the fare
wells were said, and VOWS of eternal
fidelity exchanged by school day
friends.
Mach of the success of the School
during the past year, is due to the
prudent management of the Execu'
tive Board, and their efficient Secre.
tary, Gen: Obey, who by the careful
and economical disposition Of the
funds at their command, have done,
really much more than could have
been expected.
We hope the friends Of the College
will exert themselves for its further
success. The teachers are worthy of
all confidence, ana their success in
the past is an earnest ofwhat may be
hoped for in the future.
There is no more eligible situation
for a school on the Ohio river than
this. The buildings are spacious and
the grounds all that could
be asked for, the climate healthy, the
society good, and charges moderate
We hope to see a large class assem-
bled next session, and can guarantee
the most earnest effort on the part OF
the management of the school. to in
sure satisfaction to all who attend.

HEAVY RArN.-Huntington was
visited on Monday with one of the
heaviest storms of rain we have ever
witnessed. 1t literally fell in tor.
rents for several hours. The streets
were flooded, but we heard of no
special damage, except that the back
wall in the cellar for Smith, Davis
d Cos. new building was washed
out. This was caused by the lot be-
ing in an open and ungraded condi-
ton, consequent on the building
The damage was not very great and
can be easily repaired 1t is reported
that New River is very high, and
there will no doubt be high water
This will keep good stage Of water
for some time.
The farmers will now need dry
weather for harvesting, as the wheat
is ready to cut. The oat crop in this
vicinity is poor. There is some good
wheat, but the most of it is poor, and
will not average half crop. The
grass is almost an entire failure, but
the farmers hope these bounteous
rains will make good second crop

Another Arrival.

Kansas, in its misfortune, furnishes
many citizens to this State. We find
in the Leavenworth Commercial of
July Sd, the following notice of DIR.
Houts, who intends coming to Los
Angeles: "We learn with regret that
Rev. T. F. Houts, pastor of the First
M. E. Church of this city, has ten
dered his resignation as pastor, with a
view to removing to California, hop
ing thereby to improve hishealth. He
is expected to fill the pulpit of his
church as usual next Sabbath, which
may he the last time tie will preach to
his congregation before leaving,
though we hope not. We have known
Mr.. Houts for seven years, and can
testify to his worth as man, while
as a minister we think he has no SUI
periOr in the State. Always sound,
logical and practical, he presents his
subject in such manner as makes it
both forcible and instructive. His re-
moval will be loss to the city and
the church. We trust he will find the
health for which he seeks and the loss
of which has determined his action in
the matter. With it, he will yet be a
power in any community where his
lot may be cast. We shall see him
depart with sorrow. AS friend, u
man and minister, he is true and re-
liable and worthy of imitation.

Major Jose Ramon Pico has returned
from the frontiers of Lower California.
He has settled his title to the Rancho

that there are fourteen families resid-
