The only point in comment was the an- dienoe. Heretofore, there has al­ ways been an admission charged for recitals, and only a small number would attend. When approached as to Why they did not attend,the following answer wa* generally given: That it wa* useless to spend their money to hear classical music, when they did not understand it. Yet, we cannot sec how these same people could have attended the'receut recital, and pun­ ished themselves by having this cold, classical music pounded into their ears. Possibly, this free entertain­ ment will lead to a larger attendance at the nest meeting, least -we predict as much, COMMENCEMENT. The commencement exercises were held in the opera house Thursday morning before a crowded bouse. The class consisted of eight young (ladies and five young gentlemen. ' The class delivered their orations, all acquitting themselves nobly. Owing to the time' in the week, mid the size o f the class, it will be impos­ sible for n'sto give a synopsis o f each oration nshas been the usual custom. - Dr. McKinney made a well worried speech to theclass and Thomas Gibsou, in behalfo f the board of Trustees prc« rented tbe diplomas to the member* of the class,.

The degree o f Doctor o f Divinity was conferred upon Prof, Boice of the It. P, Seminary at Philadelphia-. Tlie music on this occasion wo* fur­ nished' by Braine’s Orchestra, of Springfield. c o n t e s t . Undoubtedly the greatest event of commencement week is the contest be* tween the Philosophic anil Philadel­ phian literary societies. -Thisoccurred last Thursday evening. By the time o fopening the house in tbe evening every seat down stairs abd the first three rows in tbe gallery were reserved More thanusual interest w*a taken this year from tbe fact that tbe contest­ ant* were evenly 1 matched and it wasn’t safe to predict how thing* would turn out. Miss Kellie Ustiek opened the pro- grant with a well written essay on ‘The Slaughter o f Innocents,* Kelle Lewi* delighted the audience withwn essay on “ The Synphony in Kature,* The Debate came next on the subject, “ Resolved, that United Btate Senator* 8 houhI.be Elected by Popular Vote.’ The affirm*Ure was wall defended by Mr. darence Young followed by Cedi Georg# who produced good argument for the negative.

One of the largest as . well ns one of the boldest robberies perpetrated in this vicinity has come to light in the past few days. The goods belonging to the Dallas heirs had been boxed and left in the bouse, Tlie deed was committed on or. about February 22, and goods to the amount of $300 have been taken, Nothing whatever lias been said of the affair until last week when John T. Norris, of Springfield,a noted detective put in his appearance. Ho at once had search warrants got­ ten out for several houses in town.; Upon visiting the house of Minnie Hamilton n’reiu of a riding bridle was found and identified by Mr. Dan Dallas and Mrs. Nettie Anderson, the latter haviitg used the bridle for years us ,u riding bridle The rein w « h attached to the bridle and left hang­ ing on tbe wail at the Dallas home, goods couldhe found, that there had been good* thrown in the creek. The officers next proceeded to dredge the creek under his direction, and found skirte, carpet*, rugs, and com­ fort* wrapped With * heavy coffee sack and * heavy stone placed in it to rink it. Also a sack of fine China ware was found, they thinking that these pieces o f property would not sink,, put about a 75 lb stone in the sack. These goods were found, in alaiut 30foet o f water and were taken out under great difficulty. Day after day we hear of -something that hn» been explored, and. that more -goods are Iming found. ‘ The caw proinbes to attract con* siderehleuttention before being com­ pleted, ns tlie families that are con­ nected, are not of jiigh standing, and possibly aship load sent lor for a year or so to the penitentiary, would be of great satisfaction to.the public.

The presence of this large audience wo* considered by some specially en­ couraging 'because of foe circum­ stance that foe subject of foe discourse of the evening as announced before­ hand, was foe “ Kingship o f Christ Over the Nations.” A most helpful feature of the meet­ ing was foe excellent singing lead by Rev.
