Mr. Editor:—I had the pleasnre, tart week, of attending tlio commencement

It was not till the latter part of tayt; Jane that I got a Wiew of Oxford. Her name has been familiar with mo for years. Her sons and daughters both native and \ adopted are known and read of by all, ' over the Western and middle Slates, I’ have met them.often at the bar, in tho| pulpit, on the stomp, in the Principal'! j or Professor’s chair, and in the Chair Editorial. You may imagine my spirits were on tiptoe to behold the gurgling fountain, from whose rippling rills I had! often flaked my Pierian thirst. As the' post and two drove up, I sprang from the j tea-table, having eaten scarcely anything, i sorprising my associates by saying “I’d! rather see Oxford than New-York.” Tho ann was just gliding down tho western horizon os I got a first view of tho town with its noble edifices dedicated to sanctified learning, Tho spires glittering in tho mellow hues of departing sunlight, pointing to the deep vast concave above, like index fingers to tho source of all wisdom, would have made a pleasing variety for the artist’s pencil. I was.somowhat disappointed to find it set up in such a miniature edition of townography, having bnt about 1500,inhabitants. I found myself asking, "la this Oxford? Is this the place so famous for her Literati, her Lawyers, her Authors and Preachers, which she has sent out like a deluge of blessings all over the west?” It is a lovely location for educational balls. Retired, qniet, and healthy, it seems as though the very songsters of the CbmptM wontd help to tianslato the dead tongue, or the shape of tho groves, tho play plats or tbs buildings, aid the tyro geometer in his diffietdiies. While walking tho streets taking items of the place, I saw in largo letters a familiar name. It was that ;of an old resident of Switzerland, well and favorably known about Allensville, Jos, Billings. Ho has a Grocery establishment that pays' well hero, and ho is esteemed as a fellow chmn by all the students. T A'more honest man is seldom found. Tho "better half,” too, is still on ifool, hearty, active, shrewd, John graduated (his year, and took tho second honors of his class. He gave (he Latin Salntatory at Commencement. May their shadows never grow loss!

exercises of Hanover College; ami will be happy to give yonr rentiers a few items; from.that, to me, very interesting occasion. The Baccttlauicalo Sermon wa* preached on Sabbath afternoon before a crowded house. This was a happy effort 'of tho President, Dr., Edwards,and pro-, ved by tho depth of thought, and beauty of delivery, (hat he u eminently worthy of the high station he occupies. The address before tho Society of Religious Inquiry was delivered by Rev. Dr. War1 ren, of Greenshurg. Tins was also, a well written discourse, on a piactical subject, and showed great care and study in its preportion. On Wednesday the address to the PliUalatbcan and Union Literary Societies, was delivered by Prof. S. Harsison Thompson. His themo was "Geology as an interpreter of the Bible;” which ho handled in a masterly manner, proving himself an.adept in the science, although he was, perhaps, loo abstruse, and theoretical to bo interesting to many of hU audience. After lie closed, diplomas were delivered to tho graduates of the Philal Society, by Dauiel Lyon, Esq.— His address was beautiful and instructive, forth their duties as American citizens.

Before taking up tbs Fall Creek trials for tbs murder of the Seneca Indians, 1 will continue the "recollections of some lighter cases. I have sketched an incident upon special pleading with a distinguished member of the Ohio bar, and have stated that tbs Indiana bar, in that science, wen the closest practitioners. We bad the pleasure often; also, of meeting the gentlemanly lawyers from the Kentucky side of the river," in our courts in Dearborn and Switzerland, and of seeing their mode of practice., I found their forte to be in speeches to the jury, and not in watching the evidence.)!!, its introduction, as we did on the Indiana side. At a term of the Dearborn Circuit Court, a colored "boy .was indicted for arson in burning the bam of General Pike, near Lawrencebnrgb. I was attorney for the State, atfd Messrs. Vawterand Armstrong, of Boone county, Kentucky, appeared for the: prisoner,' tinder some understanding that they were to have the boy for a term of years upon his scqnUtal. The evidence of the horning was first given to the jury. I then proceeded to give evidence of the confessions of; the boy wbrtc'tho barn was burning.—The boy, being suspected by the neighbors, was seized and threatened, that unless be confessed and told all about it, he would be thrown into the (lames and bnent alive. Under these threats the boy confessed, and told where ho threw the chunk with' which ho had carried the fire to tlio bam. While all this evidence was given, the counsel for the prisoner sat quiet without making any objections, and when'" I-closed, proceeded'to cross question the witness. 1 then proved by another witness that the chunk was found at the place described./The caso here rested until after dinnerJ . Court met; ho evidence for (her boy offered, anil the argument commenced. I bad little to say. The proof, as the case stood, was conclusive. Mr. Armstrong rose and spoke over four hours, with great eloquence, appealing frequently to the sympathy of the Jury, but said • nothing about, the law of the case. Col.-Yawler, the senior of the fiim, then arose with Peck’s Evidence in his b&nd/and commenced with the law of the. case, that confessions extorted from the witness by- threats of personal violence were not evidence, and tilling upon the jnry to reject it. Had. be made the objection to the Court at the proper time* the evidence , would have been' excluded, and the prisoner acquitted, but his practice in Kentucky had snffered him to sleep upon the proper application of the law to his case at the right time! Judge;Eggleston charged the jnry. ’Hie prisoner was convicted and; sentenced* five years to the penitentiary. i A CASE OF MISUNDERSTANDING. |

A CA8B OF MISNOMER.

"Moffitt M. Flowers,” said the Associate Judge, "are' the parties ready?” "Ready,” says Air, Henry C. Hammond, for the plaintiff. "Ready,” says Flowers, in person. ' Tho action was brought on a physician’s hill for Attendance on Lucinda, the wife of tho defend ant. Flowers was & kind of country pettifogger, who came up to the opinion of Judge Mills, of Kentucky, when granting a law license th Davis Fiourney, who had failed Jo answer a single question, bnt who boldly and impertinently persisted in urging the Jndgo to grant him a license. “Well, Mr. Flournoy, mako out your license, and I will sign it; you have two of tho qualifications of a village attorney.” "What are they, sir?” "Impudence and ignorance, sir," Flowers, however, had read "Espinasso on Misnomer.” Mr. Hammond opened tho case to the Court, and then took np the account of his client and commenced reading. "To visit and anodyne” "Stop,” says Flowers, in a voice of thunder that startled tho Comt and by-Btanders, "stop rending;” and rising to his feet—"I demand a nonsuit.” TlmConrt—"Uponwhutgronnd?” "Upon what ground! why of misnomer.” “Of what?” "Of misnomer; her name is Lucinda and not Anodyne.” The Court—"Was she never called or known by the name of Anodyne ?” "Never that I ever heard of.” This was a damper—a perfect. cJtevaux de frieze in the vyay of tho plaintiff.—Connsel for plaintiff—"Wo will suffer a non-suit and try him again, as wo see tho Court is dead set against us.” Tho Court—"Let tho new suit bo.entered, and the next time bring the suit in the right name.”

.The speaker chosen by the U. L. Society not being present, their diplomas were delivered by tho President, with appriate remarks. On 'Thursday, ot an early hour, tho grove where the exercises were held was thronged with tholiftrali of the |and, tho citizen and the stranger. Many of the Alumni made this an occasion of visiting their Alma Mater,-and renewing old and hallowed.associations, and friendships. Tho speeches bf the graduate?, eight in number, .were anexceptionahly good, and evinced thorough training and scholarship both in mind and manner on tho stage. Afterwards degrees were conferral, and diplomas awarded to the graduates. The address of the President was in Latin, and, of. course, unintelligible to most of the audience; bat it fell agreeably on the ear, and was, no doubt; edifying in a high degree. The exercises throughout were ■ enlivened by mrisic frPm the Madison band; 6no interesting fcaluro;of the occasion was the great number of Indies, eminently bemjtifal and interesting. Hanover and vicinity seem to be peculiarly blessed with this indispensable part of Society. One of the graduates hails from Old Switzerland, ■ Although the catalogue lor a number of years has shown a fair representation from Switzerland,' I should bo glad to see it largely increased. Wo have a host of young men who should acquire a liberal education', and they cannot find a more thorough institution in tho west. Pfeatatil, Aug. 10. v. i>. s.

We soon agreed on the.ieo, twenty 'dollar?, and ho left. ;I immediately filed the bill and Iiadjtho noticapnblishcd in the paper for the next term.; Theold woman by mere accident, also, saw. the advortisemenc and thereby 'found’put. fbr thofiret'riraewhero the-man had stopped after* ho Icfther, and came directly over to the residenco of the old man. The whole matter was soon reconciled between them.' Scon after tho settlement the old man came to my office in* fino humor. “M r .

For the more' immediate conshloratiop of the profession, and to tako their legal opinion, a sketch of two cases that arose before the.asso'cisto judges upon the deft hco of “tender,” , may not he out of place. .- They were cross' actions, and caino before the Coart at, the same time, and were submitted together. I call the parties John Jones and James Backhouse. The facta: Jones was raised and educated in tho north part of Now York, in what ja -cilled tho Geonessco country, and Backhouse was an Ohioan, from near Cincinnati. Ip New York, where Jones, came from, they called “shell bark hiekory,” “shag hark walnut,” and “ground hogs” “wood chucks.” In. Ohio where Backhouse came from they called “shag bark walnut” “shell bark hickory,” and “Wood chocks” “ground hogs.” The parties met accidentally and Jones proposed to soil to Backhouse "ten nice walnut logs” for his saw. mill.. Backhouse, supposing of.courso that they were “black walnut logs,” agreed to give a dollar n piece, for them on delivery at his. mill Backhouse then in torn proposed to sell.to Jones two tamo, “ground hogs** that he had at home lor fifty cents each, which. Jones agreed to give, aud io receive and pay for them when the Brst log was delivered, Jones cut the logs, load; ed one on bis wagon and drove down to the dam to nnload. Backhouse,happened to bo there; “What is that you have there?” “One of the logs,” ‘.‘What logs?” "Why one of those walnut logs you bought of me.” “That’s.no walnut Jog.” ''•Yes it is, as fine a 'shag bark’ walnut as grows :in Indiana.-V “It’s no snch thing, it is nothing but a shell bark hickory.” “Will you receive it ? Header it to yon with tho other nine .under oar contract and demand my pay.”. “1 shall not receive it, hnt am.ready to receive the walnut, logs T bought of you.”. “Then let m® have the ground hogs I hongbt of you, I am ready to pay for them.” “Come down to the house and you shall have thorn.” At tho house “There they arc, Mr. Jones. “What, them ground hogs, dew tell 1” “Yes, a pair of as fine ground hogs as I ever saw, and perfectly tame.” “They are no ground hogs, they are nothing hot wood chocks. 1 would not give a centfor them, the‘pestering things bored our ground all hollow in York Stale," “X tender yon (be ground hogs and demand tho par.” J T shall not touch them wood chocks, but am ready to receive and pay for tho ground hogs under our .contract.” Tho parties were strictly, honest men, wholly jpcapablo of \\ib tuggtttio falsi or the su~ prttftp ivri, as was admitted by the learn-

Hie Michigan City Enterprise, heretofore a Republican paper,has the following significant paragraph; ‘ .

•Two or three weeks since we took pc* casion to remark’ the signs of the times indicated the probable formation of a great National Parly—a union of tho masses for the benefit of tire masses—in which the inllnencc and dictntioh-of the professional politician.(a vampire, whose conscience is about the size of a;possum's brain, and whoso love of tho people is like the boa constrictor**!, which besmears'its viftim with saliva that raoro.ploasure may . bc.enjoycd in devouring him)’shou|d.bo disregarded nnd repudiated. There ‘Are many planks from which - snch : a party, might erect a plulforrm whereon thejwopit wonhl stand firm and tindividod; and ' prominent among them are, tho amend- ; ment of the nataralization-laws,.making the capobility to read. and; write tho.JBrtglish language the test of.citizenship; the abolition of Executive patronage in,the appointment of Postmasters ana Collect: ors of Castoms; the removal 'of slavery agitation from the hnlls'pfCongress to the ballot boxes of the Torri to rics;th o' iiri - proToracnt of rivers and harbors, where tiioy aro of national importance; and tho abolition of the Electoral; College,.so as t) allow the people to vote^directly for i the candidate of tbeif choice. 7 ‘ ■

Speaking of the* Rio Grande, a recent .writer says:—Imagine one of the ciookodcst things in the world, then im agine fonr more twice 'as crooked, and fancy to yourself a largo river three limes as crooked ns nil of these pul together, and yon have a faint idea of the brooked disposition of tins crooked river. There is no drift in it, from the fact that it U so crooked thnt 'timher can’t find its way far endugh down to lodge two sticks together; bnt few snakes, because it is not straight enough to swim in, and the fish aro all in the - whirlpools 'in the bends, because, they can’t find their way . out. Birds frequently attempt to fly across the river and light bn tho samo side thej start from, being dccived by ihodifTerenl crooks. Indeed, you may be deceived when you think yon.seo across it; and some of .tho b’hoyrf say it is so twisting there is but one side to it.
