Over the platform was the name Columijus in red letters and the dates Oct. 12, 141)2. Oct. 21, 1802. On the black board Aksel Amundsen had drawn a verv good picture of Columbus and also of his ship. The Spanish flag was represented in colors. After the programme an informal social was held at which all enjoyed themselves. A number of vistors were present. Some days ago we received a letter saying tli.it Arthur Porter had been started to school but that he had jumped oil the train and We hope his walked home. parents will send him to school. He is a bright hoy and it would be a great pitv if he should grow up in ignorance. He has been in school about a year and ahilf'and has only made a beginning.

A largj number of grad uatesof the old Americau Asylum were present, among them some of the most intelligent deaf of the country. There were also some prominent educators and other persons interested in the welfare of the deaf. Festivities were indulged in, speeches made eulogizng the early teachers of the deaf, and the story of the found! g by D .Thos. H. Gillaudet of the first scnool at Hartford was again told. Ta orator of the occasion was Prof. Hotchkiss of the National college, who is an alumuus of the American Asylum His address was eloquent, scholarly aud full of thought. Space forolds our giving a detailed account of this interesting celebra ion. rne thoughts it suggests are many ami varied. Wonderful has been the growth of this work since the establish rue ut of that little school at Hartfoid three qu irters of aceutury ago. Almost every state and territory in the U iion is now provided with educational facil ties for tie deat. Tae pupils number thousands and their teachers hundreds.

The committal of a youug deaf mate to prison iu Pennsylvania, brings up the inquiry, wny is it thedaaf a aila.--s are comparatively free from crimt? Certainly it caanot be because of the handicap which their allliction places them for this young mm nas a career of crime behind him waich lew hearing criminals possess at a similar agi 1 it then, because of the excellent moral training they receive iu the state insti- tutions? Tiie New York Sun commented recently atlengLQ upon a divorce case which occurred ic that city, both applicants being mute, and asserted it to be tne lirst case on record. Certain it is that the deaf as a factor of our population, comprise a class of sober, industrious and law abiding citizens and that a mute criminal, serving a sentence in a penal institution is very seldom heard of. Ytt the deaf, taken as a class, are after leaving tueir Alma Mater, often altogether deprived of religious instruction.
