At about ojght o'clock the guests began
to arrive, among whom were several of
the Faculty of the University and clergy
of the city, besides a number of eitix.cnst
with their respective ladles. Though the
Adclphian Society had been cordially in-
v'dud to attend, none of its members were
piescnt. Notwithstanding this drawback
all appeared to enjoy themselves very
much and especially after an abundance
of choice refreshments had been served.
Excellent music was furnished during
tho evening, anil several games helped to

leaves of various kinds in a manner that
gave evidence of previous study of the
subject to be discussed.
The Professor asked a few general quesi
lions, and then directed our attention to
drawings of tho dillcrently formed leaves
on the blackboard; which showed great
artistic skill, and presented some facts
relative to the science of tho vegetable
kingdom, in such an attractive manner as
.to excite the admiration of the class.
No sooner had tho class been dismissed
than a number of its members, being
flred with enthusiasm, delei mined to pro.

they find themselves on tho bank of the
