The annual commence ment of Lafayette College Is a gala week in this pretty town. The hotels are filled to the garrets, nd the sfrccts are thronged with strangers, jiany of whom have come back to the scene of their early struggles and triumphs to relive In Imagination the fascinations of college life. Lafayette College from the snmmlt of a lofty bill overlooks the wedlock union of the statoly Delaware with the placid Lehigh; and the- bus tling town lying at Its feet stretches its arms pic turesquely across the narrower stream. A happy location for calm living, quiet nerves, thought ful study, patient Investigation an Arcadia of rest! ' KINIIAV'S PHOCKKDIM1M. The lluronhmrraf r. The exercises of commencement week began at IfKIO A. M., Sunday, with Baccalaureate ser vices In the Brainerd Church. Iuvocatiou by Rev. Wallace Kadcliff, of West I'hiladelphia. followed by (KlHth liyiun. Hebrews xi was reud fcy Rev. Alex. V. Sproull, of Chester, Pa., class ef lWiO; prayer by Kev.

D., Professor ol History and Rhetoric in Lafayette College, delivered the Bcrmon and address to tin; graduating class from the text, Hebrew xii 1 -'J: 'Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every wtight, and run the race that is set before us." From amonjrst the many thought contained in se verses, wo select for Illustration rather tliuu lengthy proof the three following, which we would apply, viz. : 1st. Kuit.li In the holy, the blessed, ami trie invisible, is a power aide to conquer sin ami the world. 2d. Heir-saerlllee. animated by this kind of faith, is essential to nil great airrtriles f.ir g nil. id. The great oldect of tinman existence! Is, or ought to ke, to glorify ;ud by lives; ol self-denial actuated by inch a luitli. There have alwavs been men on ttw earth who live nn invisible life, who see what others never saw. They hear a voice which others never heard, and have emotions never experienced by those who have not felt the power of an influence from God. Men renewed invert the estimate! of unrenewed men; tliey see by the spiritual sight the glory of Uod in the body of Christ, Jerusalem, the golden city, and Para dise tho gardeu of (lod. Knee, la Athens, the greatest political orator the world ever saw mode a speech concerning the golden crown. Paul's Epistle may also be called an oration concerning the crown. Christianity Is a religion of self-siicri'lce ; through the long hue of 17UU years the Church has undergone persecutions. The blood of the martyrs Is the seed of the Church. We are able to accomplish no worthy object without self-sacrifice, and we must make much of it, if we would do much good, (living money is a demanded self-sacrifice, as is also the choice of a profession. on reaching the third head of the discourse the Seniors arose, to whom he said: Uriitlemen of the Graduating Class : What 1 say to all others, 1 say to you ; let it be your great object to giorily God by lives of self-denial. Ton are com passed about with many witnesses; there Is ever more present with you the divisible God. It is the fllce of faith to make clear such realities. Try so to live that the woi id may be better; try so to live that good nu n may ask, Who shall till your plne.es ? You will be missed nt our daily evening prayer-meeting; there Is not one of you with whom 1 have not consulted as to your splrttmil welfare. 1 need not hesitate to say that, there Is not one of you wha dies not know that it Is my heart's desire and prayer to God for you that you may be saved. You stand on the shore ; you are about to sail; two ocean s are before you: tho troubled sea of life and tho boundless ocean of eternity. Venture not ou the stormy ocean of life without, making the JSible your constant guide; have tree resort to prayer. With out the nid of Jesus Christ, you will fail to accomplish any noble object in life; you will make everlasting shipwreck. May you rather be found among those who shall constitute the army of the redeemed in glory, beim of that heavenly host who through faith subdued kingdoms and wrought righteousness. The Doctor offered a brief closing prayer, Implor ing God's continued presence and favor upon this graduating class s 'hey went into the busy scenes of lifc.fcThe 273d hymn was then sung, and the Bene lictlonpronouuced by Rev.

OHATION ltY GU KHNOJt I'OI.l.OCK. The First Prei-byteri.ui Church was thronged this evening to in a:' the oration before the literary societies by lUo Hon. James Pollock, L.L. 1)., ex-Governor of Pennsylvania. He said: Permit nie briefly to tut Ircss you upon the charac teristics of the age, an.l its demands upon the American scholar. Ti n Hi, oft told truth, leading to the practical and the real, is alone my object. The characteristics of an age may be regarded as the ex ponents of the mind aim morals of the people the slgps and expressions of individual in union with national character. Put they are more than these. They are the operation ot causes then in operation tending to the production of the grand result Indi cated ; they are the impress of the agencies moving and acting in the same direction, ami whatever foims they may assume however diverse their mode of act lou they an their part, and well fulill their mission. 1 lie present Is full of eventful Interest. The world is now In mighty movement In throes almost of mortal agony reeling to and fro under the stuu Dii g blows of some uns.-en and irresistible power. There Is a generous light. Hashing across these dark ei.hig shadows, reveallntr the characteristics of the age in other forms more full of hope and promise. Prominently marked upon theage.aud distinguishing it I rem all others that have preceded It, is Its mental activity Its Intellect unl progress and acquisition, lu the midst of the activllliw that surround us, utility is not overlooked. The tendency of the age is to popu larize science, to simpiily its great truths, that Its rich treasures may In isily communicated to tho popular mind. Its ulilii . depends upon its diffusion All monopoly is odious; i'io monopoly of science knowledge-doulily so. T popularize science is not to weaken it, nor will 'ctract from Its dignity and 'the age and Its act;. ;ties demand educated pro fessional labor.

Special DtAptUeh to The Evening TVUffravK Ci.arksvim.k, July2.S Ijtst night the pas- senper train bound North, and duo here at 1'15 A. M., met with a terrible accident at Btidd's creek, about nine miles south of his place. It appears that as the train was passln; over tho trestle the structure gave way, precipitating the engine, baggage-car, and two passcngcr-cirs Into the creek. The enrs were smashed Into fragments, and being piled on top of each other, made it ex tremely difficult for the panic-stricken passen gers to extricate themselves from the debris. Immediately after tho accident, and before the extent of the disaster could bo ascertained, the cars caught fire either from the engine or the oil used for illuminating purposes, and burned rapidly. Those who escaped from injury succeeded lu dragging out the disabled, and, as far as known, thof-e who were killed. Among tho latter are Eugene Kiley, the engineer; the fireman, whose name Is not known, and a New Orleaus cotton merchant named Hugh McCall. About one hundred persons were wounded, the following seriously: Mr. Fountalnc, wife, three children, and servant, of Memphis; Chas. Brown, baggage master; Walter Wilcox, of Clarksvillc; Mr. Stowo, of Eufaulu, Ala.; Colonel J. J. Buekcndc, of the Patriot of this place; Mr. Dugan, express messenger; and Judge Caul kins, wife, and two children, of New Orleans. Amongst those who are deserving of the greatest credit for their heroic and humane as sistance in caring for the wounded and adminis tering to their wants, are Mr. Hamilton Tike, son of General Albert Pike, Mr. Sanger, and Mr. Wood, of New Orleans, and Captain Lowe, tho conductor of the train. The cars were entirely consumed. This is the second time within three years that this trestle-work has given way, and the oflicers of the road are severely censured for their appa rent criminal negligence. It is feared that several of those injured will not recover. They are all being cared for in the best possible manner. Another Account. New Yokk, July 38. An evening paper has this: Cincinnati, July 28 A passenger train on the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, when near Clarksville, fell through the trestle bridge over Btidd's creek. Tho train was destroyed by fire with the exception of one car, tho engineer and fireman both killed, and three or four others killed, and about twenty or thirty badly wounded. FROM NE W YORK.
