Wo saw them speeding away in crowded -cars and steamboats, or swiftly marching down tho country roads. - They lost their individuality in the huge armies which . received them, but their separate records are nono the less glorious. At the close of the wur some came back with. tfunburned faces, and marked with-insignia of . higher rank than when they departed. Some came back fmllid and suffering; Some never camo back; but to-day, n Southern valleys, tho gilded grain and bright tinted ‘flowers waft the sweet fragrauco of their cherished One of our classmates, Andrew Ware, offered • up his life at Petersburg, just us. the war was dying away, in a sullen murmur of artillery roar. A year after our graduation the national banner again floated trom Sumter, whero it had first been humiliated. <• With Gov.

Of niuctcon graduates halt occupy •commanding positions in mercantile life. .Of the re mainder, two nr® represented in. the ministry, two in medicine und one in law; the latter, at present, being Deputy Attorney*Qenqral of the (State of Pennsylvania.

They should ' all be great men if opportunity will mako them great, for no class ever left our school when the skies were , brighter or the times more, pregnant with important events.

To-day we find this country busy with solving grave questions of finance, suffrage ami the rights ol sexes.

Prof. Riclie then addressed the graduates as follows: Yrwiifr Irtnthmen : At this important crisis in your lives 2 cannot part from you 'without a few words of ad monition and advice.,. Yon have been the recipients of the higher education, which it is the custom of como among us to decry, but which it is right that you should understand and properly estimate. It Ims placed you in a position whence you can take a wider survey of tue lifo before you and more intelligently measure the oppor tunity which it presents and the obligations -which it imposes. Ton go out to the struggle, to which weal! are destined, better armed and prepared than the majority of your fellows. Tho city tliut has educated you looks to you for a return proporfwifrf to the expense , and care which sho Ims been at in your behalf, and I have an as sured hope thatyou will fully meet all the demands that shocanjustly make upoii you. But remember, wki*t you have often been taught in the course of yomsToiir year* of Htudy, that tlVaf return £s liot looked for in tho external positions thnt you may at tain, or In nny moretricious lustre with which you may udorn your in tlic amount of honest, earnest work thatyou may bcablcto accomplish. Your educa tion onublcs vou fairly tp appreciate your own ca pacities, and to choose: your sphere of labor with a proper reference to them; and as you do this will . you l>e successful, or the roverse. You are not to value yourselves or your performance bv the deceitfulmeasures which the conventionalities of the world have set up. No matter how humble the station to which circumstances may confine you, tho hand of God will bo- with you and over you, and will guide you through the obscurest paths to Ilis predestined glorious ends. All labor is grand, all labor is ennobling; and it is for you to demonstrate that , the higher education is the fitting preparation for all work, Hint it gives a truer skill for every craft as well as a higher intelligence for every profession. Tho wealth of this city is based upon labor. The educa tional system of which you are among the richest fruits is built upon labor; and it is labor, only labor, that can make you men. Therefore, go out, hope fully and oxultingly, to your •several callings, confident that the introduction to knowledge which your studies have secured for you will give you in creased jx/l/mrf to mail for your reward, and increased nurgy to achieve it. On behalf of the Faculty, and most earnestly for myself, I ask Hod's blessing on your future. The following testimonials were tlien awarded: 1 . . / PARTIAL COURSES.

Last evening the Voting M i'uinerehor had a final rehearsal at their hall in Cherry street, which was attended by a number of their friends, tinder the admirable lead of Mr. Hartmann, they sang a charming chorus called “Hope.” This was followed by an excessively difficult composition by Liszt, called tlio Midnight Walk, the leading tenor pavt sung by Herr Graf. It is in this trial piece, which has been vainly essayed by several New York Societies, that tlus Young Miinnevolior intend to present tlieir claims for the first prize at Baltimore, it is hard to imagine any composition more diffieult to sing well; hut the rehearsal last evening showed that it has been thorough ly mastered. The Young Minmerehor also sang the line old song, ‘“ln Kinon Kiihlon (Irunde:" “Kolitraut,” the prize song of the New York Arion Society, aud another beauti ful chorus, called “The Hunter.” All of these pieces gave great delight to the company present. Among these was Herr W.Tselnrcli, the celebrated organist from Gera, in Saxony, who complimented the Society in a handsome manner for their fine singing.' He was pre sented with a-badge of the Young Miinncetuir, by their President., Professor .1. Hoffmann. Mrs. Philip Tran also presented him with a bumpier. Telegjs.wh Fire Alarm.— The introduc tion of the iire-alarm telegraph, by which the fire companies in nil sections of the city can receive alarms and the locality of tires as “(juiek as meditation outlie wings' of thought,” renders it useless to ring the old .stationary alarm bells. Ex-Mayor Henry, several years since, stopped the ringing of tjie State House bell in time, of fires, excepting- those wliic-h might occur in the night, time. With proper regulations, all these large hells might remain silent in time of fire, tho same as in several Southern and Western cities, where fires are extinguished ipiickly, without unnecessary alarm, and by a less number of firemen Vhan in l’hiladelx'hia. Presentations.— An interesting ceremony took place fast evening at the M. E. Church, corner of Twentieth and Jefferson streets.

Wm. H. Maurice, and received on behalf of the “Grays” by ex-Gov. Pollock. After the ting ceremonies were over, a large and beautiful silver pitcher, with two silver goblets, were presented by the congregation to their pastor, Kev.-Mr. Burrill. Going to Europe.— Mr. M.

From facts tlmt have come to our knowledge, it is evi dent that the attempt to open It was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill ituso* less, the effort was then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to arise from tho railroad men replacing a "defective rail, excited no alarm.*, Tho tools, with the exception of the drills, wore left. It is evident that they were not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the construction of your Chest, That they failed is another evidence that your Bankers’ Chests are what yon claim for them—Burglar- Proof.
