DB. LAFTERTY's ADDRESS.
| The gem of exercises WAS the address OF
| Rev. J. j. Laifcrty before the literary so
| cieties. Ills subject was Progress" The
| speaker humorously cOntrasted the pres
| ent with the past, citing illustrations from
/ almost every phase of life in support of the
proposition that the world was in better
| condition morally, politically, and socially
! than il was one hundred years ago. The
address from beginning 70 the end spanked
with rare and racv w.t. and mt the same
| time was full of strong and practical sug-
/ gestions 10 the young men before him.
The final ball in honor of the graduating
! class tonight closes the commencement
| festivities for 1890.
