266          JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS          [Feb. 5,

It was with mingled feelings of pride and pleasure we wit-
nessed the activity, skill and manly deportment of the youths
who turned out on military parade. They were put through
the infantry drill, and then manoeuvred as a corps of light
artillery, with six guns; and in each exhibition, these youths
displayed a spirit and carriage, highly honorable to them-
selves and to their instructors, whose liberal views, in mingling
the pleasant and useful exercises of military display, with
classical study and general improvement, cannot be too highly
commended; such training cannot fail to provide the most ac-
tive and useful members to society, men who will have health
and intelligence to assist the State in time of peace; courage,
address and experience to defend in time of war. We fully
believe the State can in no way lend the use of its arms more
profitably.                                                 

All of which is respectfully submitted,

Andrew A. Lynch, Chairman.
