At a meeting of ttie faculty of Lehigh Uni
versity held March 21st. 1881. the following
record was directed to be spread upon the
minutes:
The faculty have received with heartfelt
sorrow the sad intelligence of the ilea h of
Charles Waller Abbott of the senior class,
and hasten to tender their heartfelt sympathy
and condolence to his parents and family. An
excellent student of more than ordinary gifts,
lie was exenfplarv in deportment, and worked
faithfully to acquire the knowledge which
should fit him tor future professional life
upon which, to all human foresight, lie was
so soon to enter.
Intelligent, truthful, frank and manly, he
was highly esteemed by his classmates and
fellow-students, who will sadly miss him
from among them. There remains to cheer
those from whom he has been thus early
taken, the reasonable religious and holy hope
that a merciful God has removed him to a
happy and eternal home.

The " Benefit" at the parlors of the Metho
dist church on Wednesday evening was a
complete success. The tables were spread at
f> o'clock. Coffee, sandwiches and cake were
served by charming waiters to the attendants
till half-past seven. At that time the sump
tuous tables were left for a richer musical and
oratorical feast. Declamations were spoken
by Mr. W. S MACE, Mr. W. V. DUGGAN,
Mr. A. F. BRONSON and Miss IIILA HUNTLEY
favored the audience by reciting the " Paint
er of Seville." Mr. MACE has a clear voice,
flue articblation and an easy, graceful man
ner. He always pleases his audience. Mr.
JLUGGAN, who carried off the first prize at
the contest in Mercur Hall last Friday even
ing, has a strong, melodious voice, a fine pres
ence, an almost perfect enunciation and just
Welsh enough in his speech to make him a
very interesting and forcible speaker. Mr.
Bronson, though suffering from a severe
cold, spoke his declamation, " The Flag,"
with great earnestness and animation. He
has to contend with one or two natural de
fects ami when these are overcome lit; will
make a fine speaker. Miss HUNTLEY has a
clear though not a strong voice. Iler in flec
tions are excellent. Iler manner is pleasing
and her rendering of the " Painter of Seville"
was interesting.
The musical part of the entertainment was
most excellent. The song "The Violets" was
sung beautifully by Mrs. BALDWIN and Miss
SKKLEY, with Mrs. SHAUT accompanist. The
duet "When I Know that thou art Near Me,'
by Miss LOTTIE KKELER and Mr. MACE was
highly entertaining. The duet "How dear to
Me the Hour," by Mrs. 11. MERCUR and Miss
KKELER could not have been more appreciat
ed. The song and chorus " I'se gwine back
to Dixie," by Mrs. BALDWIN, Miss SKKLEY
and Mrs. TURNER was sweetly pathetic and
thrilled all present with delight.
At the conclusion of these exercises ice
cream and cake were served to a large num
ber who were anxious to help the good work.
One feature of the entertainment was especi
ally pleasing and commendable, and that was
to see the people of the different congrega
tions taking hold as a unit, and working with
a will for a worthy cause. B.
