From Mortified.

During the late commencement ex-
ercises Mortified showed to great
advantage. The town, of about
three thousand Inhabitants, is locat-
ed in fine country and inhabited by
an intelligent, prosperous people.
The homes of the place may plainly
show refinement and taste.
The college grounds are on a plain
above the main part OF the
town, and afford a beautiful view OF
the Cannon river valley, of far reach
ing meadows and finally wooded
hills. There was a large attendance
at the college last year. There are
musical, academic and college depart
ments, all we'll attended,; and the
place noticeably offers the following
advantages: A moral and highly in
telligent society, a beautiful and
healthful location, close attention to
the intellectual and moral develop
ment OF the students by teachers
who give the advantage OF closer
personal contact and more thorough
attention than can be given in the
very largeinstitutions of the country;
| and last, but not least. q pronounced
Christian basis of thought and feel
ing.
The graduating exercises were de-
cidedly creditable in range OF thought
and style Of delivery; also that they
were comparatively brief, occupying
| only two hours, and that all were
rendered in good plain English, Miss
| May Donovan, representative from
Little Falls, was Salutatorian. Her
address was finely delivered, marked
by ease, grace and force. Her theme
was, "The Age OF Gold or the Golden
Age" the thought.of the address, the
contrasts between more material
gain to the individual self, won with
out regard to the manner of winning,
and the services to society Of those
whose ideals are based on a high
sense of duty.
| The address OF the valedict orian,
Miss Young, Of DEBORAH, Iowa, was
very fine. ''The power OF things I'M
SEEN" The decorations of the large
church, the music, etc., was all OF a
high order; and the attendance very
large Notwithstanding fearfully
rainy weather. The field sports had
to be indefinitely postponed on &C.
count OF unfavorable weather. The
cloudy, hazy weather was in the
way OF examination OF the power OF
the great telescope and other glasses
in the observatory. BY the way,
the astronomical accessories at Car
Teton are OF a high order.
The prospect for future work at
Mortified is highly encouraging.
J. A. Viktor's brick block on Oak
street in which he will at once Optn
up firstclass harness emporium is
about completed. 1t will be one OF
the best harness and saddlery
establishments west of Minneapolis.
This fills a long felt want and it is
needless to say that the people OF
Little Falls and vicinity will find it
to their own interests to give him a
liberal spare OF their patronage.

grand chancellor OF the order of
knights OF Pythias for Minnesota,
paid Granite Lodge No. % a visit

very much pleased to meet him, and

structive session was held. He
remained in the city during the
forenoon, and was decidedly COM
plimentary in his remarks about the
city His official duties call him to
all parts of the state, and he says
that in no other city or town that
he has visited are there as many
evidences of growth and prosperity
as were in Little Falls.
