On Monday evening those who went to
the debate at the P. NJ. I. enjoyed rare
teeat. The declaimers, Cadets Zimmerman
and Williams, acquitted themselves ex.-
ceedingly well, and each were greeted
with rounds of applause. Capt. j. A.
Garrick represented the Calophemian Lit
erary Society. and Corporal Heller repre-.
sente1 the Thalomathian Society. The
query was: Resolved, That the e1ecu-
ticn of Charles was justitiable. Corpor-
al Heller upheld the affirmative and Capt.
Garrick the negative. Both speakers de.
livered speeches that would have done
credit to men who had studied the ques.
ton for years. The rarest treat Of the eve
ming was the Grafton delivered by ]. X.
Hood, Esq. Mr.. Hoods subject was:
Presidents vs.. Kings, or the excellence of
our constitutional form Of government
compared to q monarchial government.
This was exceedingly instructive He ex-
planned our government in mastery
manner. The exercises of the evening
were closed by pantomime drill by the
Cadets. Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Anderson Orchestra, which
was exceedingly enjoyed. In short, it was
delightful and instructive entertainment.
