'People from rill parts o f the county, as well as neighboring coun­ ties, wefe present, the opera house, being filled to Overflowing. The class this year consisted of four members only, tw o ’from the department of music and two from the collegiate. The graduating class, board o f trus­ tees and members of the faculty occu­ pied the'Stage, which had been beau­ tifully decorated with palms, carna­ tions and the class colors, royal purple' and orange. Music for the sixth annual commencement was furnished by the Grand Opera,HoUse Orchestra of Springfield, Ohio, under the direc tidn of Bobert Brain, The music from this organization h*s delighted audiences here for several years on simitar occasions and their work was appreciated by a ll The class this year did no t deliver orations, as there Was a class orator, EeV, E , Trumbull Lee, D. D „ pastor of th e 2nd Presbyterian church, Cin­ cinnati. H e iwed.forhit theme, “ Is the purpose of an education the mak­ ing of a living or the making of a life?” He said iu part; “ In the making o f a living gold is the first , consideration in order tha t we m*y gather luxuries about , lis. Then ho* much is there in it for me? Money is saM to be the r r i t o f evil, yet it is by this that we may assist he nevolent institutions ,1 I t is the love o f money that is the roof of all evil. This is especially true in the political and commercial world. What greater honor could he bestowed upon a. man whose atnbitioa has been to represent his county or state in an honorable manner* though in this arena the hon­ orable will clash with the dishonorable? W e have the dishonorable, whether it Is with t h l physician to strengthen the science o f medicine or the lawyer in the pursuance, of law. ^There Is<the dishonorable in every field.

The degree of A. M. was conferred on Bey .‘Sanderson and. LL . D. on Eev. E . Trumbull Lee, D.

The house was filled to the doors by friends a n d ’citi­ zens who in late years have become as much enthused over contest as' do the members of the societies,. The con­ testants for the .“Philosophic society were Messrs. Collins Turner, Homer H e n d e r s o n , N Wolford and Miss Cloris Aiken. Philadelphian, Messrs. Boss McCown, John. J . Wilson and Misses L u la Henderson and Vera Andrew. The coutesCthis year .was posaibly~the best that has ever been given, the productions all being of a high standard and well delivered. Particularly was this true of Mr- Homer Henderson; the debater. He is conceded to be the most forcible contestant that lias ever appeared on the stage since contests were instituted here. By bis commanding voice he bad the-entire'audience completely captivated. ..Accordingto tbie cpntest platform, debate counts four points,' oration three, essay;two and declama­ tion one. Upon this basis the Philo­ sophies were declared the winners by 7 to 3, as they secured the highest averages Ou debate, essay and decla­ mation'* While the grades were being averaged B£v. Pratt, of Cincinnati, gave a short address, Elsewhere can be found the complete program and the grades. BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETS. - The Board oj Trustees of the college met Wednesday and again on Thurs­ day afternoon to'finish up the business for the school year. Prof. J . Eobb H ar­ per banded in his resignation, which was accepted by the board. Prof. Harper has taught a t the college for two years and has given perfect satis­ faction and it is with regret that the board, faculty and students - would have him leave* Miss Anna Mary Cost, who has had charge of the elocution department, handed in her resignation. The va­ cancy will be filled some time tbi* coming summer. There will be some change in tbo faculty this year. Eev. Sanderson, who taught two classes throughout the year, will be given chemistry. Mis? Maty E rvin, of this year's class, has been selected to take Prof. Harper’s place, but there will be a different division of classes. Mira Nellie Lewis of CliftoD, who has been taking post graduate work a t the Ohio State Uni­ versity, will have the literature classes. James Scarff, of So'uth Charleston, who is familiar to every football en­ thusiast, spent Thursday in town, the guest of Mr, and Mrs. H arry Biff. Several years ago James wn* the coach for bur football team and much of its success was attributed to him as such, Woodhridge Ustiek left this morn- iug for Columbus, where he will visit his brothers for awhile, Little Miss Grace Morton enter­ tained six of her most intimate friends at the home of her grandfather, Eev. 3 .

HANEY RESIGNS Pastor’s {Salary Paid From Rent of Pews.’ ~ A Woman Refusing to Pay Pew Rent Caused Fifteen jHccritngs Before Equilibrium- Was Restored.—Psalms Revised. ' On April 23, 1870, in connection with' the communion season' tbe con­ gregation was gladdened f with- the largest accession for many years. On 'October 9, 1871,1 tbe session decided to discourage religious, and benevolent societies from presenting their claims from the-pulpit on Sab­ bath. • - On January 12, 1872,’ the session approved the election of Mr. .Panl K err ns superintendent of the Sabbath- school. • \ . On October 1G, l872, Rev. W, H. Haney tendered his .resignation of the pastorate to Presbytery,‘and it" was laid on the table until October -29, when it was accepted. Ou tbe. last named'date .lie resigned, the clerkship of Presbytery, to which he had been elected on January 14, .1808,' aud this resignation was also accepted. Eev. VV\ H.- Haiioy received two calls on ApriL 29, 1873, one from the united charge of Beulah and Mum- ford in Caledonia’ Presbytery and tbe other from the congregation of West Oharlton in Albany Presbytery, the former of which he accepted and his certificate was granted the some day to connect with that Presbytery, During Mr* Haney’s,time the salury was paid from the rent ,of the pews. According to an arrangement of the congregation the trustees were to collect from tbe seating for this pur­ pose. One woman who was a member! refused to comply with this plan and occasioned one of the most annoying affairs with which the Bession had -to deal. The trustees appealed ' to t ie< session, and that body drew up a plan of settlement to which she agreed. Afterward she refused to comply with her agreement.and she was brought, up again, this time for insubordination, and was suspended. She appealed from the decision to Presbytery, bu t that body did not sustain her appeal and urged the session to restore her as soon as she met her obligations to the congrega­ tion, There is no record of her resto­ ration* This cara occupied fifteen different meetings of the session and one of the Presbytery and covered over two years of tiu^p. t ^ The revised version of the Psalms, which represented the work of some years of a special committee, was adopted and introduced during his pastorate. The session dedided to introduce them and Mr, Haney announced their decision . and raid, “ You m*y as well get your books for we are going to use therh,” There was no objection of any con­ sequence, and the innovation did not make even a ripple on the congrega­ tion, H e also organized and carried ea for sbme time a young men’s prayer meeting, which many of the young men o f the congregation and community attended, and to’ which they now look hack with pleasure. Some of these young men afterward entered the ministry, .arid we are promised an Account of this part o f the history from the pen of D r. Jo seph Kyle, who was fen attendant. The Session, o f those times was evenly divided politically and upon many o f the measures presented the members divided on political grounds which imposed upon the pastor the difficult and cWlOftte task ’of deciding bjrhi*vet* This, tosAy the Jetot, was embarrassing and a t the same time made hiB work doubly difficult. Eepeated efforts were made to increase the session and relieve the pastor of thiB disagreeable position, but without avail.. Considering the disadvantages against, which ho labored, he was eminently successful, aud his work still abides. Many of the congrega­ tion still look hack to him as their spiritual father, and revere his- mem­ ory, . ’ ’ During his pastorate he received fifty-six members on certificate and fifty-seven on profession of their faith, baptized sixty seven infants and. ten adults, and the congregation ,made the best financial showing in its his­ tory up te th a t’date. Besides paying him a larger salary than any of his predecessors and increasing it to an amount greater than- has ever been paid . to any. of his successors, they contributed to the missionary funds an average of over $500 per year, which more than quadrupled that of any previous year. In proportion to the membership the gifts to foreign missions especially were greater each year and showed an interest deeper than a t any time, except in very decent years* WHAT IS TO BE DONE? There is one matter which we think should .he brought to the attention of the public, and particularly to the corporation officers who have the mat­ ter ih charge. Up to three years ago we.had almost yearly a spring freshet which thoroughly, demised the creek, but in the last fewyears we have had no such rains and the-creek in the central part- of town becomes stagnant during the hot summer day#,, Our town has always had-the reputation of being Ahealthy place, ana’its sanitary condition. carefully looked after, but. uuleSS the board of health and council take some action bn present Condition oi the water in tbe creek and take steps .towards purifying ip, the public will find before tbe summer, ends that Maraies creek will be a regular attach pool. ' No doubt the prime cause is from filth that IS placed near or emp­ tied' into the stream which causes the Water to become offensive. . In order that the ' reputation of our town be continued wbere.it has been for years we would suggest to tbo honorable members' of the Board of Health and council that the stream be cleansed as thoroughly as possible, and that an ordinance imposing a heavy penalty be passed that would govern those iq..the habit o f emptying refuse in the creek. Gentlemen, this is something that you cannot afford to to overlook. SMALL NOONDAY FIRE. Jusfc-.bofOre noon Wednesday the fire department was, called out to pu t out a small blaze On the roof of L . F , Dorn’s Residence. The cause o f the fire is supposed to he from spArks that fell on the roof from a nearby chim­ ney. There was no great amount of damage. F ire a t present time would he something terrible for CedarVille to experience. Council to a cortain extent ha# neglected to keep the fire Cisterns in repair which accounts for the low stage of water* iu them. A t Arecent meeting of co iincilthey de­ cided ta.einpty the Walker cistern and have i t thoroughly examined aud Re­ paired. I t is well for the council to use discretion in; having this work done, but a loss in time of obly a few hoars might cost the ‘Corporation thousands of dollars. HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS MADE* The Health Department o f ’New York hM seized a quantity of so-called Cheap baking powder, which it fbund in that city. Attention was attracted to i f by, the low price At which i t waft being raid in the department sto rey tiample# were taken And the chctnira of the Health Department reported the stuff *1 to he “Aft alum powder, Which ftnMyri* nbtowed toheoompnrad' cliiefly of alum and pulverized rock.

They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious,matter, In baking powders, the high class, cream ---- o f tartar brands are the mosteconom- ^ 00 Pe rs' xcal, because they go farther in use aud are healthful, beyond question, . THEFT OF FLAGS AND FLOWERS. The memorial window for Eev. J.- F . Morton, D, D ., ha’s been' placed in position on tbe south side of the church. The' design is very hand-" , some and it is' the gift of members of — - f wo-- -nf__some _contemptible church-and-friends—The~Wbite-. rascal has.reached us and tbat-is. the hyi Keif] memorial window for his stealing of the flags from the soldiers’ mother, Marion Beid, has not yet graves at the cemetery north of towu arrived, last Friday night. Not only were flags stolen but flowers suffered like-,’ wise, / I t is no t probable that the party or parties will, ever be known but should such be the case, it cer­ tainly appears to us that the guilty should receive the heaviest penalty allowed by law. There should be no chance for escape on a charge of theft of flowers and flags from a grave. WILL ATTEND UNIVERSITY. Cedarville will this summer send three of her educators to the Chicago University for graining in special branches. Prof; J . Eobb Harper, Prof. B , A, Brown and Bey. J . W. Sander­ son. Although Prof. Harper has resigned as professor a t the college, he will complete his education a t the Chicago institution. . P ro f,. Brown expects to take up some new- lines of work. Eev. Sanderson having been elected to fill tbe vacancy in the chem­ ical department at the college will take up chemistry a t the University during the summer. •. MEDICAL SOCIETY BANQUET.

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY. As evidence o f tbe prosperity of our business men, we wish to mention two branches th a t have developed wonderfully o f lafe, There is oiie thing certain, and that is, unless the farmer is prosperous the local mer­ chant can not expect much trade. To substantiate the statement- that most of our farmers are getting their share of Mark Hanna’s “good times,” the • firm of Kerr & Hasting Bros, have Within the past few days received some four car loads of McCormick harvesting machinery. Of course this is used exclusively by the farmer and We Are pleased to know that he will keep up with modern •improvements.
