NEW UdHEN.

- On Thursday AMI Friday of next
week, public examinations will be held
at Beeman Academy. The exercises
of the graduating class will occur in
the church on Friday evening. 1t GER
tainly will be much better TO hold the
exercises in the church, as is customary
elsewhere, than to attempt TO pack the
audience into The town hall, as was
done last year, much 10 the discomtor,
of all who attended. Besides, many
more will wish to attend this year than
ever before, since there will bc the al.
ditional attraction of first class music
No orchestra in the state has so fine O
reputation as the one from Burlington
which will render the music on this oc.
casion. After the graduating exercises
a concert will be given, in the town
hall, by the Howard Orchestra assisted
by the Quartettc Club of Midd!ebury
College. 1t is needless to say that the
annual exercises at Becman this yeai
will surpass in interest any that have
occurred here before.

Recognizing the Criminals.

While in their earlier days the Aus
tralian colonies were far from paradise
to the incorrigible convict, that period
was, on the other hand, the golden age
of British convict life to those who
had the sense to recognize their oppor-
tunities. To-day man energies from
the great penal servitude prisons of
Milbank, Dartmoor or Portland with
the world all before him, but very far
from being able to choose what he will
do in it. In fact, unloss the Prisoners
Aid society comes to his assistance, he
is in great danger, however we'll inten-
toned, OF relapsing into crime from
sheer want. But the ticket-of.leave
man thirty years ago found an =. eeetiye
maintenance was within reach OF oil,
while many obtained considerable and
some even great wealth. But to
"lifer," however successful, there was
q forbidden paradise. He must not re-
turn "home." This prohibition be-
came, some thirty years ago, intensely
bitter in the otherwise sweetened cup
OF notorious criminal. All the joys of
life became as nothing when this was
denied him. He offered the govern
ment to pay $500, 900 fine for remis-
sion of his sentence, but was informed
that the government did not sell par
dons. At length, so intense became his
longing to revisit former scenes, that
she started for homo without leave.
Over twenty years had elapsed, and he
felt convinced that no one who would
"peach" would recognize him, and
finding that no one seemed to do so he
grew holder and resolved to "have his
fling" So he went down to the Ascot
races in barouche and four. BY some
mischance his positions made a blum.
SSo Sd iS: "4hS tsra;yy:hairea inspector Of
police rode up to set matters
straight, and his eyes met those Of the
eI.convict with that glance OF recogni-
ton which says: I've seen you be-
fore, old boy, and under very unpleas-
ant circumstances, too He was, in
fact. the very constable who, five and
twenty years before, had arrested him.
The ex-convict did not stay to see the
races, and was back at Sydney to re-
port himself, as he had to do once ia
year in due time. The case has been
recalled by tho excellent memory OF
Judge Benedict, Of New York. who,
equally to the surprise OF the secret
service officers and OF the prisoner,
recognized Daniel Rosa, convicted for
counterfeiting, as one of gang con-
victed before him for the same offense
seventeen years ago, when S30,003 OF
counterfeit was captured.

ago. On the Sth of April, this year, she
came to Rochester and resided with her
aunt IN Hoelzer street, her father and
mother being dead. Two or three
months of this time she passed in the
blind asylum at Batavia, where she
learned 10 read raised letters by the
touch. Her trouble was c%ongenital cata-
ract, and from birth she could only see
SO as to distinguish between day and
night. When taken to the city hospital
the eminent oculist Of the institution,
after an examination, said her sight
could be restored, and three weeks ago
he operated IN the left eye, producing a
rift in the cloud" which had shut out
her sight for so many years. The writer,
interested in seeing her when the first
test was made, visited the hospital, and
when the bandage was removed by the
surgeon she told him she could see his
fingers. A vase Of flowers was held be-
fore her and she said they were flowers
and one Of them was red.
She told what other objects were, and
their form. "Dr. Crosses" confirmed
theories, Poor Miss Finch's" versifica-
ton of the surgeon optics" G%!Iacies
were disproven-dispelled by this pract-
lcal illustration, in fact. Emma's sight
continues to improve as the rift in the
cloud widens from absorption. No
further operation may be necessary, and
there is no question but that in good
time she may see las others see" The
patient sees and learns SO gradually, the
same rs a child learning to read, that
tances easily. Cataract patients never
see instantly after the operation.

Lapham, in a husky voice, had mumbled
a strange argument i'm it's favor. In the
course of his talk it became apparent
that Lapham was rcciting some poetry
Of his childhood. A smile of pity went
around tine chamber; but no one real
lied what a grotesque absurdity lap
ham was uttering, when considered az
an argument in favor Of the appropria.
ton, until the Record appeared next
morning. In that Mr.. Lapham, plead

appropriation was desired said: 81 might
occupy time in stating the vents which
are connected with that locality, but it
is unnecessary; they are familiar TO all.

what was said Of that locality by the
poet and. patriot of the day, somewhat
