Easton, Pa., July 25.
L&fayette College has prooably the finest
situation of any lrmtitption in our country.
Jcated at the very summit of College Hill, it
commands a view of the Lehigh and the Dela
ware, and is at once the rno9t healthy and beau
tiful of the many healthy and beautiful c jllere?
Id onr land. It is the most venerable and the
most respected in our State, and It has only been
because its claims were not laid before the
public that its wants were left unsupplied.
Dr. W. C. Cattell, on bis accession to the
Presidency, at once took steps to let our citizens
see how the institution had been neglected,
and the result has beeu a handsome donation
at nee, most liberally and cheerfully given.
Mr. Alfred Pardee, of Hazleton, presented,
with princely munificence, $100,000, to found
a Scientific Course; while Barton II. Jekks, Esq.,
of Bridesburp, erected a chemical chair and
laboratory, and secured it a proper endowment.
The College now is on the high road to pros
perity. The following are iU Trustees, who have all
proved themselves devoted to its interests: '

Wallace, Rev. Roger Owen, Uev. Alexander

Hon. Samuel Linn.
Dr. Cattell i9 indefatigable, and the result is
a vast improvement in both the treasury and
the curriculum of the institution.
The Thirty-first Annual Commencement
h&s afforded the citizens of Easton and
the multitude of visitors a scries of rare
literary and social entertainments. These
began with the Baccalaureate on Sunday morn
ing, the 22d, and closed with the President's
levee on Wednesday evening, the 25th.
It was early intimated to the Committee of
Arrangements that at this season an unusual
interest was abroad among the Alumni and
other friends of the College, and they were pre
pared to expect a large gathering; hut the num
ber so far exceeded their estimates that even
the over-sanguine were compelled to enlarge
the bounds of their "hospitality beyond all pre
cedent, and acknowledge that the Commence
ment of 1666 surpassed all such gatherings in
the history of Lafayette. From a city of a
sister State came on Wednesday a mammoth
party of three hundred, called a "Picnic," but
doubtless arranged upon this day, the most im
portant of the week, to afford an opportunity
for some ol the number to participate in the
literary festivities.
THE BACCALAUREATE SERVICES.
On 8abbath morning Rev. Dr. Hickok, of
8c ran ton, preached before the students in the
First Presbyterian Church on Psalms xviii, 30,
The word of the Lord is tried." It would
scarcely do justice to the discourse to say, in the
old phrase, that it was eloquent and able. It
was a noble tribute to God's Word. It spoke of
the bitterness with which its enemies bad ever
mailed it, and its firm endurance until this
day, It displayed the riches found by those who
had sought therein peace and comfort, wisdom
and salvation.
Then followed the Baccalaureate address to
the graduating class, by President Cattell. This
was considerate, affectionate, and touching. Its
sentiments were fully reciprocated, and it gave
vonclusive evidence that the heart as well as the
Lead had a bhare in the culture of Lafayette.
RELIGIO08 CONFERENCE.
At 4 P. M. in the old College Chapel there was
held u religious conference on the topic '"The
Bible in College." Among the speakers were
the venerable Dr. George Junkin, the founder
imd first President of the College, and the no
less venerable Dr. Tustin, who for many years
has been one "of the Curators of the Institution.
These servants ol the Church bore the testi
mony of more than 'threescore and ten" to the
value ol the Bible, and urged its truths home
upon the hearts of the young men with that
power which comes from the trembling lips of
the aged. It had been their statf during life's
eventful pilgrimage, and they would now put it
jut the bands ot the young and vigorous, who
worftd find it "do broken reed," to support their
steps through life, prayers were offered by
Rev. Mr. Owen, of Chesnut Hill, and Rev. Mr,
Kellogg, formerly pastor of the Brainerd Church
here, and now the successor of Rev. Dr. Potta,
f the University Place Church, In New York
t-ity.
THE BBAINEBD S1RV1CEB.
In the evening, the Rev. Thomas Brainerd,
p. D., ef Philadelphia, grand-nephew of the
weli known mlssionary.Davl J Brainerd.preached
the anaal sermon before the Brainerd Mieeion-
THE : DAILY, EVENING TELEGRiPH.- PHILADELPHIA, 1 FRIDAY,
arj Society .of fee College in the Brainerd
Church; t landing on the very spot consecrated
by the relf-denying labors of that early and suc
cessful preacher to the Indians. The text was
"Let no man despise thy youth;" and the vent
rable divine, In language of ran polish, gave
words ot counsel to the young men before him,
that will long be remembered. He dwelt upon
the noble work which David Brainerd had done,
and which was finished at an age when many
minister were just commencing theirs. The
pcaker was In feeble health, and sometimes his
voice could scarcely be heard by all In the
crowded house, yet the respectful and eager
attention to catch every word, showed how
much he was honored, and how much the dis
course itself was valued.
We should not be a faithful chronicler unless
we referred to the splendid singing of the choir
in both churches. All that magnificent organs
sklllul leadership, and well trained voices could
do was happily done, both morning and evening.
IBB SYNOD OF PHILADELPHIA.
The friends of Lafayette College relolce in the
fact that it Is a place of Christian education. To
secure faithful, thorough religious culture, it is
placed under the supervision of the oldest eccle
siastical body in the Presbyterian Church of the
United States. All denominations are, of course,
represented among the students, and the College
clarscs will ever be open to all moral young
men of every Church; but the Synod eends
yearly its Committee of Visitors to attend the
examinations, and report on the efficiency of the
Institution as a place of Christian culture, as
well as a school of science and literature.
Two representatives from this Codercice,
Rev. Messrs. Wallace and Owen, delivered ad
dresses In the College Chapel on Monday after
noon. They dwelt with much satisfaction upon
the tact that the Bible had been installed as a
most important "class-book;" for, waiving all
reference to its inspiration, such a book as the
Bible claims to be ought to receive the careful
and candid study of every liberrlly edu
cated man.
They were followed by Rev. George Burro wes,
ex-Preeident, of San Francisco, Cal., and recently
elected Professor of Biblical Instruction at La
fayette. This accomplished divine is well known
for his valuable works upon the Bible, and his
return to Lafayette (in which he was formerly
a Professor) is hailed with delight by all the
friends of the Colleee and the Word ot God.
THE JUNIOR ORATORS.
Crowded church, of course, on Monday even
ing. No standing room even in gallery or aisles.
Beauty aud fashion inthe ascendant Bouquets
and wreaths in endless profusion. Deliuhtful
music from the band. All these have character
ized the Junior exhibitions at Lafayette College
for thirty years, and call for no special remark
from your correspondent, except to say that the
speeches were all written in good, sensible Eng
1'iBh, and delivered with manly earnestness. The
Washington orators were S. L. Johnson, S. W.
Knipe, L. C. Rutter, and R. H. Smith. The
Franklins were J. M. Pfouts, E. P. Conkling, R.
J. Hess, and E. 8. Heany.
THE ALUMNI MEETING.
On Tuesday, after the reunions of the Wash
ington and Franklin Literary Societies (which
were held in their respective halls on Tuesday,
and were, of course, not open to the general
public), came the Alumni Meeting in the chapel.
Congratulations and pleasant speeches were the
order of the hour, saddened only by the realing
ol the necrologietil record. This contained the
names of Charles Merrill, Class of 1843; William
Rush, 1844; Rev. Victor Ilerschelt, 1849; Fran
cis Kennedy, II. D. T. Kerr, and Clinton M.
Andrews, of 1856. A brief obituary of each of
these was given. That of Mr. Herschell was
singuliirly noticeable, in that he was one ot
seven sons of a Jewish Rabbi, five of whom
entered the Christian ministry. He perished In
the Jamaica insurrection of October lost, being
a pastor of one of the churches in that island.
Messrs. Kennedy and Kerr were both classmate?
and room-rna'es, und the latter, by will, made
the College his residuary legatee. It was Haiti
that ibis is the first bequest ever male to Lafay
ette College; we are sure It will not be the last.
THE NEW BUILDINGS.
At every commencement since the accession
of Dr. Cattell to the Presidency, the corner-stone
of a new building has been laid. Year before
la3t it was the noble Astronomical Observatory
now crowning the highest part ot Mons Sciential;
last year it was the magnificent Chemical Hall,
the munificent contribution of Barton II. Jenks,
Esq.; but this year witnessed the beginning of
even greater improvements. It is well known
that since the last Commencement, A. Pardee,
Esq., of Hazleton, save to the College the muni
ficent sum of $100,000, to endow a Scientific
Course. The whole country has done honor to
Mr. Pardee for this noble act, and his name will
be held in grateful remembrance as long as
science shall endure.
Tbi munificent contribution has enabled the
Trustees to increase the Board ot Instruction
to seventeen Professors, and to enlarge the
curriculum of professional and technical studies
lully equal (o that of the first scientific schools
of the country. The first requieite, then, is
enlarged accommodations both for the new
Professors and the increasing number of stu
dents. The citizens of Eaaton promptly sub
scribed $20,000 as the beginning of a building
fund, and other friends of the Colleee have
promised various additional suras. A building
committee was appointed, and finally the plans
of John McArthur, Esq., of your city, were
adopted. They consist mainly of extensive
additions to the Eat College, and the corner
stone was laid on Tueslay afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Of all men living, the one to perform the act
was Rev. Georsre Junkin, D. D. Thirty
thiee years ago, on the anniversary of the battle
of 3unker Hill, he assisted in laying the
corner-stone of the adloining building. In his
brief speech the "old man eloquent" referred to
th e checke red h Is tor v of th e College wh Ich , d uring
so many years, had been the oblect dearest to
his heart. He paid a just compliment to the
late Judge Porter, wboe heart and hand were
joined with bis in building up the College. Then,
as the vast multitude Btood uucovered beneath
the old trees upon the Campus, he adjusted the
stone in its place, and offered up a most earnest
and Impressive prayer. The "Old Hundredth
Doxology" was theu sung, and as the echoes of
manly voices died awav, the Alumni and friends
in procession repaired to the Brainerd Church
to listen to
THE ADDRESS OF PROFESSOR LBI,
on the service rendered to the Union cause by
the Lafayette students in the late war. The
speaker (late Major 4th Ntw York Artillery)
is a graduate of the class of I860, and served
during the whole war. The address was pa
triotic ana scholarly. The Trustees have re
quested Its publication; and it Deed only be said
here that, not counting those who died before
the Rebellion, 27 pr cent of the Lafayette stu
dents bore arms in the late war for the Union.
Ninety-Are students coining from fifteen States,
were represented in the Roll of Honor, contain
ing the names of six generals, twenty-two colo
nels, lieutenant-colonels, and majors; thirty sur
geons, thirteen chaplains, forty-four captains
and lieutenants, six naval officers, and a number
of non-commissioned officers and privates, who
did not aspire te any great military fame. On
this list occur the names of General A. Porter,
the first biigadier commissioned in 1861, from
among the officers of the regular army; also
Surgeon Nassau, afterwards a Medical Director,
who originated and commanded the first hospital
steamboat, an experiment that resulted in such
great alleviation of suffering in the great battles
ol the West.
RSV. DR. PLTJMMER'8 ORATION
before the Literary Societies was delivered at
Brainerd Church in . the evening. It was a
learned and masterly argument in favor of the
study of the ancient languages. The reverend
orator rejoiced in the published declaration of
the Trustees, that "in making the new curricu
lum of scientific studies, we have not overlooked
the importance of the old claslcal course, or
suffered It to beoome the least impaired; but
that it will be continued as heretofore, not only
as the regular Introduction to the special study
of theology, medicine, and law, but also as a
thoroughly tried and approved means of secur
ing the culture and elevation of mind, and of
imparting the usclul and liberal learning which
becomes the Christian Echolar."
This address, also, will doubtless be printed,
and it deserves an extensive circulation.
THE EXERCISES OF WEDNESDAY.
This has been "the great day of the feast,"
and the capacious church was again crowded.
To the usual programme ot Bachelors' and
Masters' orations was added this year the Intro
auctoiy Address of the Pardee Scientific Course,
by Prolessor II. Osborn, LL. D., who was elected
in March last to the chair of Mining and Metal
lurgy. No justice could.be done, within the
limits of this letter, to his learned and polished
argument that Christianity is the sum of all
philosophy and science. The public will doubt
less soon see it in print,
Atter Dr. Osboru's address, the young orators
spoke in the lollowing order:

Valedictory By George T. Keller.
The Fowler Prize, for proficiency in the philo
logical study ot the English language, was
allotted to George R. Kaercher, of Pottsville.
It was a pleasant coincidence that the master's
degree was taken by Rev. i. S. Banks (class of
I860), pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church
(Brainerd) of Easton, and Kev. M. A. Depue
(class of 1803), associate pastor of the First
Church.
The degree oi M. A. (causa honoris) was then
conferred upon Daniel Holmes, M. D., Amos
Bonsall, Fisher Hazzard, A. II. Ketterholf. The
depree of LL. D. upon Rev. J. Edwards, D. D.,

The degree of D. D. upon Rev. Ellis J. Fewlin,
Hazleton, Pa.; Rev. John L. Jane way, Herring-
ton, N. J.; and Rev. M. B. Grier, Philadel
phia, Pa.
Few persons in that immense audience will
ever forget the scene when Dr. Junkin arose to
pronounce the benediction. First, he compli
mented the speakers on their orations, and the
audience on having kept such respectful silence
that every speech was heard distinctly through
out the church; and then, pointing through the
open window to the summit of College Hill,
crowned with new buildings, exclaimed with a
voice tiembling with emotion AH that this full
heart ot mine ever fondly hoped for La
fayette College is now being fast realized, and
Simeon's prayer is on my tips, "Lord, no w let-
test thou thy servant depart in peace." There
were old men in that audience, "unused to the
melilng mood," who wept as the Doctor bowed
his head in prayer.
THE COMMENCEMENT DINNER,
at the Masonic Hall, deserves more than the
brief mention that we can give. The ladies of
Easton bad Again taken the matter in charge,
and even exceeded their former efforts. Nearly
400 persons partook of the bountiful repast,
while Coates' celebrated band discoursed most
excellent music. Then the old Psalm (122d) was
sung, and the speuking followed, Governor Pol
lock presiding in his most felicitous manner.
Alter speeches from Dr. Junkin and President
Cattell, he proposed the hea th of Mr. Pardee.
The whole audience rose to iheL feet, and cheer
alter cheer shook the old Hall. It was long
before he could be heard, and then, with niol
esty equalled only by his worth, excused himself
from making an extended speech. He said that
too much credit bad been given to him for a
mere contribution of money, and not enough to
the able and learned Professors who, throueh so
many trials and discouragements, had given to
the College such a proud distinction. In closing,
he said that mere money would not make a
college, and referred to the distinguished artist
who, being asked with what he mixed his paints,
answered, " with brains."
The health of Mr. William Adamsoo, of Phils,
delphla, was next proposed, and responded to
by the audience with rare enthusiasm. Mr.
Aaamson is another one of the modest friends
ofLafayette (ha endowed the chalrof Chemistry),
aid it was long before the repeated calls of the
audience could bring htm to his feet, when he
wade a brief but graceful acknowledgment of
the compliment paid to hint. To the toast of
the Arm, n(j jjavT( Uaor-General McAllister
made an eloquent response. Rev. Dr. Sterling
repndei In behalf of "Our Sister Insti tutions."
Major Lee and Dr. Plnmmer were also compli
mented by special toasts, and after other ipeechea
the large audience reluctantly dispersed.
FINALS.
The President's Levee in the evening closed,
In a happy and graceful manner, the pleasant
exercises of this Commencement. Ben was a
throng composed of grave and dignified trustees,
learned professors, reverend clergy, glad and
grateful alumni, hilarious undergraduates, and
last, but by no means least, the beauty, elegance,
and grace of as brilliant an assemblage ot young
ladles as your reporter has ever seen, and the
equal of which he scarcely hopes to see again
till the President's Levee of '67 1
Position ol the Armies In Europe,
The military situation in Europe, as given by
the news ot the Hibernian, is about as follows:
First The Prussians had a severe contest with
the Federal troops near Aschatfenburg, which is
ft flourishing Bavarian town, twenty-three miles
east-touthcavt of frank fort, the Federal capital.
As usual the Prussians were the victorj, aud
doubtless promptly pressed on to Franktort, the
possession of which must have a great moral
effect on what remains of the Confederation.
Aschafienburg is almost due west from Sudowa,
and distant about two hundred and fifty miles
in a straight line.
Secondlv The main column of the Prussian
army, with the royal headquarters, has been
advanced to Brunn, the lortibed capital ot
Moiavia and Silesin, which is seventy miles
north-northeast ot Vienna. It was here that
Bonaparte had his headquarters )uat before the
battle of Austerlitz, which was fought but a tew
miles to the southeast. The right Hank ot tne
army was reported at Iglau, a town ot some
sixteen thousand inhabitants, forty-nine miles
northwest, fiom Brunn. If this is the case, we
may expect to hear bv tho next steamer of a
direct movement on Vienna. Where the Aus
trian forces are is not known. The tone of the
Emperor's last appeal seems to indicate tha:
unless a sufficient force could be got up from
Venetia Vienna misbt be abandoned, while ih
army would I all back towards Hungary, with
Olmutz as the strong defensive position.
Thirdly Cialdinl, by a bold and energetic
movement, the details of which wedo not know,
has interposed between the Austriaa forces in
the Quadiilateral and Vlpnna. preventing at
least any lurther diversion ot Austrian troops in
that d irection. He occu pies Pad ua and Vicenza,
and threatens Venice. Padua is a fortided city
twenty-two miles west ot Venice, with a popula
tion of sixty thousand. Vicenza is forty miles
west of Venice, and has a population of over
thirty-three thousand. In such a position
Cialdini Should be able to supply his army
from the country, and perhaps increase It by
recruits.
Altogether the whole situation is favorable
to ibe lurther progress and ultimate success ot
the Prussian and Italian arms. While the
Prussian main force has a direct and uubrokeu
line of communications, an open country belore
it, and an enemv in front aud on the dank who
waits aud doubts, its movement is straiahtlor
ward and in mass. The Prussians are still able
to divert enoimh of a force to destroy the re-
maining vitality of the Confederation, an J the
Italians have secured not only a base ot onere
tious, but the neutralization 'of the Austrian
forces in Venetia. ,

lowing reasons, viz 1
First. Because It is prepared from the original
prescription ol Doctor Joseph P. Fitter, a graduate
ol tbe Umvenity ot I'ennsy vania, and now one of
our oldest practising phvsician
8erond Itecau.-io he has made these dJseaseahig

I hud. P-ecause the medical properties of this great
Rcmt-uy diOer very esontially from all tie remedies
htthorto brought before the pnbiic.
i ourtb. Because it is purely vegetable, and war
ranted not to contain morcury, colchioutn, minerals,
metals, or anytuing miuilom to the system.
Fifth. Because when you have used a bottle or
two, and are satisfied it will not. cure your particular
case, )nn, by appneatieo, cet the lull amount laid
refunded without being com do I ed to continue on
an indefinite period, a though not a single eae In
