144 A Lixnn.VRY fragment. 



The degree of" Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon thirty-two, who, after 

 passing over the prescribed course, had sustained a satisfactory examination. R, 

 S. Taliaferro, of Va., and Jno. Paddocii, of St. Johns, N. B. were also admitted to 

 the honorary degree of M. D. 



Prof. Atlee's address to the graduating class, "On the responsibilities and duties 

 of the medical profession," is spoken of as an admirable performance, and in every 

 way worthy of the high reputation which the author enjoys. 



We are happy to learn that the number of students during the past session 

 was larger tlian at any previous period, and that the prospects for the next terra 

 are unusually encouraging. 



A LITERARY FRAGMENT. 



Mr. Editor — The following fragment seems to have slipped out of the archives of a literary, or 

 at least, debating society. By publishing it, you will afford the owners an opportunity of claiming 

 it. Its publication may likewise furnish your readers encouraging evidence of the hitherto undis- 

 covered fact, that the Augustan age of classical Latinity is about to be revived, wliich is certainly ■ 

 •a matter of sincere congratulation to all lovers of the muses. 



Yours, truly.
