No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so tritled with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from triiling or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning Of fatal
sickness. AYERS CuLRRY PECToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight

taken III all cases without delay.

of Commencement week to u close b1t
one of the pleasantest features yet remain
ed-the Presidents levee and reception.
The Levee.
In consequence of serious illness in the
family of President Buckham, he was not
able, this year, to throw his house open
for the social gathering which has been
such pleasant feature of Commencement
week. In consequence of this the levee
was held in the new Billings Library, and
the general invitation to it was extended
in the name of the ladies of the faculty.
No finer place could have been found for
such II gathering, than the new library
with its broad polished floors, richly
tinted walls, and exquisite woodwork

interior. a brilliant social gathering of
/ ladies and gentlemen, old ana young, as
sembled within. The guests were re-
ceived by the president and the wives of
the professors, with easy grace and cor
dial hospitality. The orchestra furnished
| pleasant music. At half past nine the
large octagonal room in the apse, destined
for the Marsh Library. which had been
| reserved as the refreshment room, was
thrown open. The room and tables were
| beautifully decorated with ferns and
flowers, and presented Il striking and at
tractive spectacle. The refreshments were
abundant and nicely served the arrange

passed off pleasantly, till at eleven the
assemblage dispersed, and the eighty first

fined enjoyment and inspiring influence
will not soon pass from the memory of

The Junior Exhibition.

The Junior exhibition was held TuesdaI
night in Howard Opera house, which IN
spite of the Indictment weather was well
filled, the large number Of ladies present
being particularly noticeable. Upon the
stage were President Buckham, members
of the faculty, trustees, Ex-Governor Farm
ham, Hon. b. ID. Harris of Brattleboro and
other prominent men from different parts
of the State. 1t would be invidiolls to
particularize speakers, when all did so
well. We may say, however, that the
young ladies appeared to excellent advan-
cage upon the stage and their efforts, both
as to matter and manner were highly
creditabe The floral offerings were Of
