SfNQISER, Secretary. jncement Exercises.—On Tues dug, an abolition harangue was iced before the Literary Societies S. M. Bowman. The address was ioiution of newspaper war litera possessed no literary merit, and 'vered in a tame and uninterest rner. The young gentlemen of teties do themselves and their col credit by imposing such stump >3 on the public under the guise of j entertainments. Wednesday morning the Alumni 93 was delivered by Colonel R. M. :son. His theme was “ The de tent of National Character.” The ts which entered'into the devel of National Character were edu and labor; and to attain the high i of civilization, education should jrai and every man be permitted >y the fruits of his own labor. This ’ was the most scholarly effort of icement week. / ednesday evening the Centena tebration of the Methodist Church Id in Rheem’s Hall, and an able i was delivered by Rev. Bishop in. He referred to the progress ihodism in the United States, and -lined that it had done more in the of evangelization than any other ican church. Bishop Simpson is the most powerful and eloquent in the Methodist Church. Commencement. Jommencement proper came off on .day. The exercises were opened prayer by Bishop Simpson, e Latin Salutatory was delivered by Hohland, of Lebanon. The oration to Jse couched in excellent latin, “ all Greek” to the majority of .udienoe. litioal Ethics —Thos. D. Maurer, mg. The young gentleman drew a •e of the model republic. His speech well written, and was delivered with and self-possession. Mr. Maurer is the most pleasing speakers of the of’GG. Tendency of Governments —Vincent tower. The speech was not, well itted, and was delivered in a mo- joiis voice. The gesticulation was particularly energetic, and the ner s manner in which the speaker look towards .the place from which the 'iter’s voice seemed to coine was amusing. illations of Mind —Charles W. Buoy, The matter of the speech was but there was no modulation of the and the jestures were too artificial rained. Mr. Buoy did not seem to ‘lHpiently interested in his subject. epticism a Slessing —Geo. A. Singer, ‘fax. His theory was that skepticism, blessing in that it leads to investiga and results in the establishment of b. He has a good voice, and spoke ly and distinctly. ie Utilitarian Theory— Henry F. An- Hagerstown,. Md. Mr. Angle had speech poorly committed, and was died to retire from the stage before iched the peroration. iriea's Defect —J. D. Kurtz Crook, •lea’s Defect was a want of taste,for ‘Hearts. The fine arts elevated 1 and ied the popular mind. The manner a little too methodistlcal, but the :er enunciated distinctly and spoke force and earnestness. itnon Sense —Samuel Graham, Car- He defined common sense to be quality of the mind which distin shea between right , and wrong, and ■utained that those endowed with uon sense were successful in life even 'nd those of more brilliant talents.- ' address itself Was a flttjpg commenta °n the text, containing a.great deal of 'd Common Sense. Future of England— Charles j. *Dg, Philadelphia., We scarcely agree th the young gentleman that the Brit- IsU Government may be expected to go to sticks in a few years. The speech was carefully written, but was not delivered with enough vim; it was rehearsed too much after the manner of repeating a task. The Revolution of Idem —Sylvaus Q. Grove, Columbia. His theme was the change in the manner of dealing with questions of philosophy, theology &c. from the speculation of the ancients.— It was a very creditable performance. Circumstance* Develop) Faculties —J. E. McKelvy, Pittsburgh; His theory was that man is the creature of circum stances, and that great circumstances pro duce great .minds. The address was well written and spoken distinctly. Calamities Give Birth to Great Minds — J. G. Hamblin, Princess Ann, Md. The subject was similar to the previousspeech. The prominent idea suggested was that great calamities always produced their own heroes/ Popular Proverbs —L. E. McComaa, Hagerstown Md. Every nation has its proverbs; they consist of short and pithy sentences, embodying the wit and wisdo m of the people. In every tongue there are proverbs as old as the language itself.— From the truths contained in these pro verbs we may learn the character of the people. Proverbs grow stronger with age, and wield an influence on public morals. This was one of the most creditable per formances on the programme. Mr. Mc- Comas has an eminently practical mind. He chooses practical questions, and deals with them in a straight forward, logical manner. The Motive Power of Progress— Jacob Todd, of Philadelphia. This speech gave evidence of a mature and cultivated mind. It ranked among the beat efforts of the occasion. Mr. Todd already enjoys an enviable reputation for oratory, and noth ing was detracted from it by his recent effort. We had not the pleasure of hearing the Master’s Oration by Juo. C. Graham Esq.,- of Carlisle, and the Valedictory by Wil berforce Wells, of Philadelphia; but have heard them both spoken of as very credit able productions. Carlisle Springs.—Casting pen and scissors aside a few days since, we, in company with a few others, paid a visit to the Carlisle Springs. We found quite a large party of permanent and transient visitors, and all appeared delighted with the place and with its management. Un der the supervision of the present proprie tors, Messrs. Thompson & M'Culloch, the Carlisle Springs must become a fashiona ble. and favorite place of resort. The proprietors are gentlemen of capital,, en terprise and experience, and are deter-' mined to spare neither pains or expense in beautifying and improving the proper ty. Everything about the establishment is new, neat and clean, and every apart ment has an Inviting appearance. The Carlisle Springs should be and we hope witt be a fashionable place of resort, for a more cozy, romantic, healthy spot cannot be found in our State. Those who visit the Springs now cannot fail to find plea sure and amusement. With great confi dence we urge our friends who desire to escape from the dust and heat of town, to pay a visit to the Carlisle Springs. Bold Robbery.—On Saturday even ing last, Mr. Job n Good and Isaac Bear of South Middleton twp., were returning home from Mt. Holly paper mill. Just as they were turning into a mountain road which leads from the main road to their homes they were assaulted by two individuals. Mr. Good was knocked in sensible by a club or “billy,” and his pockets rifled. Mr. Bear attempted to escape and fled a short distance, when he was overtaken and likewise knocked down and robbed. Both gentlemen were seriously bruised, but fortunately both re covered after the villains had escaped.— Mr. Good has extensive dealings with the Holly mills and settles his accounts the last day of the month. This the ras cals doubtless knew and expected a rich haul. Luckily they were disappointed, as neither of the gentlemen had much money about them. Lecture op Rev. John Chambers. — This eloquent divine delivered a lecture on the subject of Masonry at, Shippens burg, on Tuesday evening of last week. The Shippensburg Sentinel thus speaks of the lecture: On Tuesday evening last, the Rev. John Cham bers, of Philadelphia, delivered a lecture on the subject of Masonry, in Ruby’s Hall. Although the evening was oppressively hot he had quite a large and appreciative audience. The lecturer eloquently portrayed the benefits arising from this benevolent institution, the love they bore their brothers and the tender care tjiey exercise over the orphans and widows of the deceased of its fraternity. Ho referred ancient origin and Christian virtues, stating that it required all the elements of religion to b»a good and correct ■ Mason. A few of his remarksSyere addressed to the ladles, giving them an idea of the high es teem and sacred obligations the order binds them under to respect them. During the lecture he took occasion to refer to a case where one lodge alone had dispensed seventeen hundred dollars since the beginning of the year for the relief of some of its Indigent members, and all was done without the knowledge of who were relieved ‘save that they were Masons. Truly its works are that of a Christian. Harvest Commenced. — After many months of toil, anxiety and suspense the farmer is about to reap the reward of his labor. The grain has ripened rapidly within the past week and in many places is now being cut, and by Monday the har vest will have generally commenced. It promises a better >ield, we are pleased to say, than was anticipated a month since, though it will not be a full one. Not more than a two-third crop can certainly be calculated upon, which will, however, be compensated for by the high price which grain of every description now commands. Beware op Paper Collars. —A Bos ton paper has a report that a clerk in one of the wholesale stores of that city has lately been afflicted with a painful break ing out on the neck, which he at first at tributed to boils, but the matter getting serious he applied to a physician, who in formed his patient that he was suffering from the poisonous properties of articles used in the preparation of his enamelled paper collars which- had been absorbed into his system; and upon inquiry it was found that some half dozen other clerks,' ail of wjiom wore these collars, were af fected in a similar manner. Drowned. —On Wednesday, 27th inst. a party of Soldiers from the Garrison were bathing in the Conodoguinet Creek, near the Cove, when one of them, a re cruit named John P. Beirne, was sudden ly taken with cramp and drowned before any assistance could be' rendered by his companions. His remains were interred in Ashland Cemetery, on Friday last. Worthy of Encouragement. —We have on our table a very interesting little work entitled “ the Orphan Blind Girl,” written by Miss. Annie C. Smith. Miss. Smith was the first female pupil in the Hew York Institution for the Blind, and for a while was a teacher in that institu tion. She is stopping for a few days at the Cumberland Valley Hotel, where she desires to dispose of her book and some beautiful specimens of her handi work. The benevolent can find no more worthy object for their encouragement. MARRIED PEFFER—SLEADER.—On tho 20lh ult,, by Rev. S. P.
