The Lost Rails of the MOutr al, Portland
& Boston Road.

The trouble about the removal of the steel rails
from the Montreal. portland g. Boston Railway was
again in court Saturday morning, when Mr.. BliQue.
on beh If of the Hochelaea banks, presented be-
fore Justice Matthew at Montreal, peti tion for an
orde to instigate search for the rails already re-
moved An ORDER was issued to he sheriff to have
the removed rails traced TO their places of deposit
and seized. No guardian was sppo lnted, and great
difficulty is expects in this respect as is thought
the T. lis scattere about the country, and 1t
would require small army of guardians to look at
Ter them. An arrang cement was made whereby the
bank was TO desist from entering criminal actions
which were threatened, providing surety was forth
coming, that the removal OF the rails would be
stopped X. B. Angus, vice president OF the Cana
dian Railroad Comp n.y. offered TO become security,
but a dispute ose between those concerned as to
the nature OF The bond to be given. The matter was
left over TO afternoon or agreement, but at late
hour O settlement had been effected.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.
Mr.. Wrigh s Testimonial
The Portland daily press., 1884-10-27

Rev. Henry Blanchard hoped that the
peouniary response TO the appeal of the Frster-
NIFTY would be generous Que. When he first
came to the city he inquired into school mat
ters and found that the public evening school
was not very good success; but, much to his
delight, he learned thut the Fraternity was
doing good work in this direction. In a CON-
versatlon with the Mayor that gentleman ap-
proved the suggestion that the city should pro-
vide places where the boys of the streets can
go and spend their evenings among higher
things How do You wonder at the condition
OF these boys, some of whom sleep in out
houses. In taking the boys from the streets
and making them noble men the Portland
fraternity Is dong excellent work. He liked
the suggestion m ade by the secretary to erect a
building for the work of the fraternity.
The hymn beginning ''From all that dwell
below the skies" concluded the exercises Of
the evening. Benediction was offered by
Rev DR.. Hill.
The Portland daily press., 1884-10-27

President Hersey contrasted the early days
of the Fraternity with those of the present,
and spoke of the encouragement that had been
received by the faces of the boys that ware
seen now and then in business offices to which
they had been introduced by the society.

REV. MR. DALToN's REMARKS.

Mr.. Dalton regretted the absence of Mr..
Thomas because his presence alone would be
more effective than any remarks he could
make aud because his liberallty is equal to his
means. The spirit of the times is money
making spirit and the antidote of that is be-
nevolence. 1t is seen we are the most money
loving people in the world; yet our rich men
are among the most liberal. Perices' admin
istratlon stands today the glory of Grsece and
mankind. The city of Boston is distinguish
ed for its benevolent institutions. All other
schools in the country are Carried on upon the
same plan as Harvard and other Massachusetts,
schools. Christian socialism will be the law
OF the future. Low people will not always
come to our churches. Their scanty food
aud clothing wounds their self respect; so we
must. commence at the beginning and provide
for them. The people who take the lead in
England are those who are the best fed and
clothed. II yoath grows up under the inf1u-
encs of the Fraternity he will grow to be a
better man; but those who attend low am1se-
ments are dragged lower down. We are alto
gether too much separated to do much good.
Let us go forward in this work which ia worthy
of our efforts and sympathles.

who has since graduated elsewhere and be-
come distinguished. DR.. Lowell, who last
night in person received a diploma, is now
a gray-halred practitioner Of medicine in
Bland county. The eXigencies OF the war
required him, too, to leave the college
before graduating. He has been doing
quite well in the profession since The war,
but has never felt quite satisfied. SIX
weeks ago he came here and prepared to
stand examination for his diploma and was
successful.
DR.. James, congratulating DR.. Lowell.
remarked upon the fact that. though the
medical profession is said to be over
crowded, DR.. Lowell Is the only regular
graduate in his county, and there are sew
eral large counties in that section in the
same condition.

ated during the war, when it was impossi-

The closing exercises OF the Medical
college OF Virginia took place at the Thea
ire last night. There was q great IAN
All the seats were occupied, and nearly
enough people TO fill another hall stood up.
The air was made fragrant by piles Of
bouquets ready to be presented to the
young doctors. Potted plants on the
stage and lovely women in the audience
gratiiied the eye; while music by the band
tlckled the ear. Everybody seemed happy :
the professors that the sessions work was
done; the graduates that they were abou.
to enter upon their chosen profession the
other students that their examinations
were over and they were to have a rest
before entering upon their struggle for the
sheepskin next session.
INTRODUCTORY.
DIR. M. l.. James, the dean OF the faculty,
was master OF ceremonies. Rev. Mr..
Il. j. Kerr, pastor of the First Presbyte-
rim church, offered prayer, and the Doctor
then made brief speech, referring to the
great success that has attended the college
this year, and the new and promising fu-
ture that seems to open 10 il, and alluding
in appropriate terms to the death OF Pro-
fesSor Coleman.
DIPLOMAS.
He then read the list Of proilcients and
graduates (aS heretofore published) and
called the graduates up one by one and pre-
sented the parchments, printed upon which
in the Latin tongue is the authority OF the
college TO the party named therein to 60
forth and practice medicine and surgery.
The recipients were as follows:

As each doctor stepped mp to receive his
diploma his friends in the audience ap-
plauded, and it generally happened that
along with the diploma from DR.. James
came from an usher one or more bouquets
sent up by frIends-iair friends in many
instances.
