The,e interesting and edifying exercises, which commenced on Sunday morning last at St. Peter's Church in this place, closed on Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock. The Quartzite Ore, or, Forty Hour's Devotion, first took its rise in the city of Milan, Italy, in the year 1534. It was introduced into Rome by St. Philip Neri iu 1513, and sanc tioned by Pope Clement VIII, who issued a solemn Bull respecting it, November.2s, 1592. This devotion owes its origin to Father Joseph, a Capuchin friar of Milan. It was first practiced in the cathedral of the city named, and was afterwards taken up by other churches in rotation. It was shortly afterwards adopted throughout Europe, and has become general in the Catholic Church. The Exposition Mass was sung in St. Peter's Church at 7 o'clock A. M., Sunday. At 8 A. M., the Rt. Rev. Bishop Shanahan, of Harrisburg, administered the sacrament of Confirmation to eighty-two persons, among whom were several converts. At 10 A. M., Mass was said by the Pastor, Father Russell, coram episcopo, and a most beautiful and instructive sermon delivered by the Rt. Rev. Bishop. During the con tinuance of the Devotion, the Pastor., had -4.na-assistantc Of the-Revs': vain, of Elizabethtown, 'McGinnis, ofDan vine, Cox, of Treynont, Field", of Chanibers burg, Papo and Murray, of Yoik, Neu feldt, of Lancaster, Pelper, of :Columbia,, Reilly, of Lancaster,-Belles, of Gettysburg, and.

The. devotions closed at 0 I'. AL, Tuesd - ay evening, with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, the 13enearction, and thesittg ing of the Te Deem.

Who buys Tuit GLORIOUS FOußru.—That the Fourth of July is near at hand is evident lrotn the fact that the occasional popping of a tire cracker is heard in the streets. In our younger days we can recollect how temptingly the square bunches of crackers appeared in the store windows with the red papers pasted neatly on the outsides, the latter covered with charactser so suggestive of tea boxes; and we can also recollect quite as distinctly how grieved we were in spirit, if the state of our excheques would not permit us to indulge in the pur chase of a bunch. A sixpence in the days to:wbich we allude,was considerably more than a dollar appears to be now, and boys' wallets then had the appearance of having been submitted to the crushing influences of a pile-driver. In old times a quarter of dollar was a large allowance for a boy to get through " the Fourth " with, but such a sum would appear insignificant now.

Emmons:—The annual extuni• nations of the "Columbia' Clitsical Itudd. tutc" began on Friday:, 9th inst., and colt nued through Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week. It is a pleasure to re-' cord the very praise-worthy manner in which both teachers and scholars acquitted themselves. The examinations evidentle, embrueedltbe whole Bald of study during the term; hnd•were as full ris th&time allot ted to them permitted. They 'mem entire ly satisfactory. ,It was evident that thu scholars had been diligent and successful, in thit pursuit ortheir studies; and that the teachers had been faithful and laborious in the discharge of their duties. We have sel dom, if ever, witnessed a better examina• • tion ; and Prof. Alexander will not' fail to receive as liberale,putronage from Colunt bia; and from abroact'as he' has recelvea heretofore, and. As he fully _deserves—a' patronage fully equal to the building,, an eommodutions. - The buildiugshould bet en larged to tho extent, at least; of twelve or fifteen dermitories; A smell gymnasiMu is now going up. A Curd. Gotueubiu Tustitute. The institution has made material ad vancement in its standard during the year, and proposes to continue itt the same direc tion in the future. The students number about one hundred. The faculty consists of Prof. and Mrs. Alexander. Profs. C.4' edit and Prince, find Misses Chamberlain and Barry. On Wed n egdny a nil Thursday evenings, respectively, the musical soiree and exhi bition came oil in Odd Fellows' Hall. They were witnessed by large, attentive and ap preciative audiences, and every one was de lighted. The selections of music were good and appropriate, and the performance, in Many instances, was admirable. The es says were well written, sensible, and well read; only not loud enou„qh. The same May be said of Inc original orations, leav ing off the qualification. The declamations and dialogues were unusually well peribrin ed. Some of them were quite hist rionie,con vulsing the audience at one lime with langhter, at another, eullhig forth the "heartfelt, silent tear." The students are now enjoying vwciation. Seine have gone not to return. A number will enter College in the fall. Several are preparing to preach Christ. One expects to go as a missionary to the heathen. Thus we have, in our midst, a fountain 'whence are issuing streams to bless, as well, - the re motest parts of our earth, as our own homes and tiresides. SPECTAToIt. Announcements SENATE. . It \V.
