and earnest setting forth of what America
owes to Scotchmen and Scotch iutluences. It
was one of the best efforts of the day. Du
ring the reading some of the clergymen 011
the platform seemed so well pleased with it,
that the fair young reader was stopped for a
little by applause from thein. We do not
recollect another instance of the kind in the
history of the college. Miss PF.TRIE'S essay
closed the essays for the day and contained
the few valedicoory thoughts usual 011 the
occasion. They were well expressed, con
taining among other things some very pleas
ant allusions to the former lady principal of
the institution, Miss ANNA BRONSON.
