Freel, who delivered the ad- dress to the graduates, is an alamous of the coliege of the class of 1858, The scene the lawn on com- mencement day was one perfectly familiarto him. He had witnessed it year after year in the best days of his youth; but still, ‘he said, it never could grow old or ‘stale to ‘him New faces were on every side, but many old ones also, and even though the ‘new {nces were there the same high spirits, the same love.of the right and hatred of wrong Were omuipresent as of old. He talled on the student to stand firm to those prineip! of truth and integrity that wero taugay them’ during the years of their collegiate course, aud never to forget their boly religion and its moral teaching. In conciu- tion the speaker said:—‘+I will not detain you too long, but I ask of you to let those principies, which have been expressed even in many of yonr addresses, not be forgotten, and at some future day you will look back with pride to ‘the year 1876, and 10 the happy, fruit- ful years you spent in alma mater.” After Rev. Mr. Freet the Rev. Fatber Goekelin made a short address, He suid he liad heard a number of times about those spreading elms and beautitul lawn and he looked at them with pride bimself, but he would like to see something else to look at now after these many years. fle would like to see something sub- Mantial adorn that lawn, and if be should bave the plensure of assisting atthe apreiling the statue of John Hughes, Arcnbishop of New York, piaced between those cims and the college, ho would be supremely happy. That statue, he knew, would soon be erected, and he hoped to live to see it VICAR GENERAL QUINN, Father Goekeien was foilowed by Vicar General Quinn. Father Quinn, atter thanking the facully of ihe college and expressing — his gratification © the graduates at tho high order of cul- | inre displayed by them in their addresses said that it would be thirty-five years ago on the 24th since he assisted at the opening of the college. d yet the ace of the late Archbishop y—how it wes lit up with hope aad | the e of what the future would bring forth for the infant instit.uien, He was its founder, and its steadiast fiend — through out his life, and the speaker earnestly hoped to seo a noble statue of the great Archvisbop hear and in sight of (he instituuon he loved and jooked over with such jealous care. Mr. Erastus €. Benedict, Regent of the University, then mado a short address, after which the large audi: nee dispersed. ‘ST.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON BY REV. DURYEA, D. D. The chapel of the Packer Institute was crowded last evening. The occasion was the delivering ot the bac- caiaureate sermon to the graduating class by Rew Joseph T. Duryea, D. D. After the visitors were aly sorted, the graduating class and the first and second scademic marched in. two by two, singing “The March to Victory.”’ Dr. Duryea opened the exercises by prayer and reading of the scriptures.

We live and move and have our being in Him. We are ignorant of the future; wo need # care farseoing and far-providing. We are not able to take care of ourselves, Why should a woman trust in God?

Commencement week {s a gala week in this ancient Dutch town, which looks upon itas the event of the year. Dressmakers have been busy for woeks prepar- ing for the fashionable attendance at the Junior exhi- bition, where the wealth and beauty of the place do congregate, and where they have tull opportunity to display themselves in the large and really beautiful Opera House which the enterprise of the Masonic fra- ternity has furnished the city, and preparing, also, for the lees exclusive throngs which sit througu the exer- cises of Commencement Day proper, on Wednesday, ‘which are the attraction mainly for all tho belles of the country within a dozen miles. The college catalogue shows now on the roll 188 students, which 1s about the average number, of whom fifty-mix are from New York State, mainly from along the Hudson; 120 are from Japan, and tho rest, like tho votes for Jewell and Washbarne, ‘‘scattering.” Thus, Rutgers holds her place as the great Jersey college, Princeton being more cosmopolitan in her constituency, The graduating classes numbered fifty-one, but has falien of nearly one-half, so that only twenty-nine graduates, and of these only two come from the Scien- tifle School. That school has two courses, one of two fictency in English, French and Natural science, and ‘the other a fall course of four years, in either chemi: try or engineering. The four years’ course isa new one, and has hardly got under way. The two who graduate both tuke the degree of civil engineers. The sutjects of their thi ie Board of v respectively the “Holm.

HOW THEY ARE ENCOURAGED— THE CASE OF MORTIMER SULLIVAN. Ithas been a long acknowledged fact among police and criminal authorities that the young bootblacks and newsboys who pick pockets in the streets are sus- tained not only by their parents, who send them out to steal, but by a gaug of receivers who purchase their plunder, and to such an extent has the evi) grown that | the detectives are now continually complaining that the judges, actuated by motives of compassion and charity, deal too Jeniently with offenders, who, though jonaliy young iv Years, are, nevertheless, ab- ly bardened in crime. "A more complete ilus- tration of this fact cannot be found than in the case of Mortimer Sullivan, aged fi,teen, of No. 55 Park stree now confined in’ the Tombs’ on a charge of gran larceny. In last December Mr. J. G. Baker, a suloon. keeper, of Broadway, was robbed of $65, in front of Deimonico's, by a numoer of newsboys, who pressed against him ‘under the pretence of selling their papers, Sullivan was arrested and positively identified by Mr. Baker, who bad him committed tor trial. Sullivan’s mother then called on Mr. Baker, and offered to pay him the meney be had been rovbded-of in the event of bis not appearing against her son, Mr. Baker reused the over, saying that he d afford to lose the money, ‘but that young Su might rob some poor workipg man, whose f sé would have to starve for the remainder of the woek. Mra Sullivan then procured a lawyer, and when the day of trial came her son pleaded guiity, and, on the ropresen- tations of counsel, was sent to the House ot Reluge by Jedge Sutherland until he should be twenty-one years Mr. Baker was astonished six wecks after, while ‘king up Broadway, by baving young Sullivan at- tempt to pick his pocket in the same way, Master Sul- hyvan, in compauy with another young “artist”? named Archy, alias “Baldy” White, is now in the Tombs for having stolen a wateb and chain, value $160, from Mr, Jonas silver, in the City Hull Park. The evidence proved that Lewis Jones, a beer saloon keeper, who bought the stolen watch, told the boys he would get bail and a lawyer for them if they wero arrested. A Henaup reporter asked young Suiivan pemeraay how he got out of the House of Reiuge. He smiled contemptuousiy, and said, “Ob, I ran away—any one can beat that place.’ MU NICIPAL NOTES.

THE PROBATION SYSTEM IN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH—THE RESURRECTION. Yesterday Rev. D. A. Goodsell addressed the Meth- odist preachers on the probationary system and the basis of membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, At present new converts or persons not con- verted who desire to unite with the Methodist Episco- pal Church must undergo a probation of six months, during which time they are supposed to be under the d tuition of class teaders, who also are supposed to give proper instructions in doctrine and Church polity to such probationers, But any one familiar with the practice and routine of Methodiat class moct- ings must be well aware that the facts are wholly uiffer- ent. No such instructions are given. The theory of probation may be very wise and good, but class leaders are appointed in nino casos out of ten for other purposes and from different motives. And the probationers when received into the Charck are as ignorant as outsiders generally of what Methodists believe and teach, and of the varied forms and phases of its Church government and polity. Nevertheless, before they are received into full con- nection with the Church they bave to pledge them- selves publicly that they will promote the order and polity of the Church; that they firmly believe and bold | to its doctrines, and that they will endeavor to main- tain the peaee and harmony of the Chureb, and pay according to their ability, to sustain the ordinances of the Gospel. Many persons ia the Methodist Episcopal Chureh, seeing that the whole thing is a farce or worse—a lie enacted under the most solemn circum- stances—have been for years trying to get the entire SYSTEM OF PROBATION AND RECEPTION changed or Abolished, At the General Conference held eight years ago tho Committee on Reyisulsof that body brought in a report favoring certain changes in this direction, but in hours of the hurry of the closing the Conierence it was vot reached, tor ‘The matter has been agitated off and on and in one phase or another tt bas come before the preachers’ meeting of this city nearly every year. Brother Goodsell yesterday javored & three months? provation. For every purpose designed by the discipline this term is iong enuvgh. If the probation system is to be ap infirmary, where weak souls are to be patched and plastered and nursed for six mouths, he thought three months quiceenough, If, however, It 18 to be deemed & preparatory scliool, where probationers are to be instructed in the peculiar privileges of mem- bership im the Methodist Kp Church, three months are too much, «The Methodist is tt only Church tn the world that has such a probationary sys- tem, ‘The Methodist Episcopal Church South has abolished it, and the Wesleyans of Great Britain don't know it, He demea the right of the Church to lay down any rules tor church membership which are not laid down in the Word of God. Dr. Curry took issue with bis young brother. If probation 18 needed atall i ought to be long enough to answer the ends in view. Aud though the Doctor was nota stickler for five, six or seven months—any of these terms would suit bim—he did think three months were short. No less authority than Dr, Rigg, of the British Wesleyan Contercnce, who repre- sented that body in the General Conference in Balti- more, Lad been amazed at the loose way tu which this | matter was lett by the last Conterence, and had asked Dr, Curry, “Has BCCLESIASTICAL STATESMANSHIP DEPARTED from the Methodist Episcopal Church?’ The bishops bad nothing to offer, on the ground that they are not ecclesiastical architects; but they have no place at the head o1 the buiding as’ superintendents ualoss they understand their business, But we are gravely told that if the General Conference bas done no good it has not done harm, and we ought therefore to be thankiul, This isa fallacy, A ship at sea is tot by captam and crew for four days or yenrs to sbilt tor itself—is there no harm done simply because they have been inactive and have done no good? And the Methodist ship has been left to drilt tor the next four years, Is there no barmdone? He bud made a calculation based upon the statistics of wo last five years, and, taking into account death and transter to other churches, found that the Methodist Episcopal Church gains adout sixty-seven per cent of its probationers. Dr. Kettell, interrupting, said he had found it twenty-two per cent instead of sixty-seven. Dr. Curry, continuing, remarked that Methodism per- mits its miai © receive on probation persons whom they would not receive into full connection at all. But they ure received on trial, that a stronger and better influence may be thrown around them. ‘There is no real difference between the probationer of a week and the member of ten years’ standing, save that tho later cannot be ‘dropped without a church trial, while the former, being entirely in the bands of the pastor, can dropped at any time by him; and if we were tw take votes in the churches the probationers could not vote. fen neither could thousands of church members. jeed’s rings were not a circumstance to rings that exist in Methodist churctes in this “and ty become acquainted with candidates for membership, and a church that strikes from the top downward an touches the ground at every stroke must have a larger and more elustic system of probation and sifting of candidates than other charches, and he did not think this rule of the “Discipline” could be amended with- out doing harm. ‘THE TEMPERANCR TRST, Brother Lloyd did not think that the General Con- ference had any right or authority, as it bad done at Baltimore, to make total abstinence @ pre-requisite to | church membership untilit had also provided tor turn- jug out of the churcn all who are not total abstainers. hr. Kettell made threshing imstrument,” with two ends, which he Jaid on Dr. Curry so that “the house came down.’’ He took the ground that it is not necessary for a good sea captain to understand how a ship is made; it is not necessary for « good editor to know how paper is manufactured and type set, and it is not necessary to the proper discharge of their duties as superintendents of the church machinery that they should understand ecclesiastical architecture. Dr. Curry’s reference to the ship at%ea drifting about re- bat took place years ago minded him of a ci: ova United Statess:.ip, command and on which a Lieutenant Spencer hi a mutiny. McKenzto was informed avd he promptly banged Spencer from the yardarm. What good had McKenzie dove it may be asked? He stopped and hanged the ringiéuder. This was the tl that brought down the house. The shot was too ap- parent and too weil aimed to have missed or been mis- understood. For it is well known by readers of the Christian Advocate for the last lour years that Dr. Curry has very freely criticised the machinery vo! Methodism, and especially its opiscopacy, with no very marked favor toward either. Rev. Jobn Dickioson also spoke in favor of abolishing the present tests of membersnip in the Methodist Episcopal church. The Baptist ministets’ conterence yesterday were en- tertained by Rev. T. A. T. Hauna, who read a deeply philosophical essay on the resurrection, which was subsequently discussed by the brethren. AFRICAN METHODIST CONFERENCE.

THE VELTMAN FORGERY. ARREST OF VELTMAN’S BROTHER-IN-LAW—THE THE HISTORY OF THE FORGERY—SCENE I” THE TOMBS coURT, ‘On the 7th inst, William F, Veltman, of No. 17 Ster- Mug place, Brooklyn, bookkeeper for the Grm of Bryce & Sinith, liquor merchants, of No. 83 Front street, called at the Merchants’ Exchange National Bank, No. 245 Broadway, and presented to Mr. Allan S. Apgar, the cashier, checks to the amount of $21,000, purporting to have been indorsed by Messrs Bryce & Smith, which he requested Mr. Apgar to deposit to the credit of Messrs. Bryce & Smith’s* account. Mr. Apgar complied. An hour after Veltman returned to the bank and presented a check tor $12,751 25, purporting to have been signed by Bryce & Smith in fayor of William H. Leith, which he requested the bank to certily, Mr. Apgar, deeming the signaturos genuine, affixed the desired cer- Vidcation, and Veltman left, Almost imme- diately after the five checks deposited and the certified at Veltman’s request were discovered to be forgeries. Veltman was arrested, but the certified check was not found in his possession. Detectives Ruelly and Haley were them placed on the case and suc- ceeded in learning that the man William H. Leith, to whom Veliman had given the check, was a son of Will- jam Leith, a specuiator and ‘broker, living at No. 583 Pacific street, Brooklyn, who had previously been con- nected with various disreputable transactions ip con- nection with forged or frandutent bonds Ti arrested bim and found in bis house the stubs checks which had been forged, and also several signa- tures of Messrs, Bryce & Smib cut out of genuine checks, in order that they might bo imitated. Since Leith’s arrest another forgery was discovered. (n the Sth inst., Veltman calied atthe bank and presented a check purporting to bave been drawn by Bryce & Smith in favor of William H. Letih, tor $4,770 42 for certitication rivet the regular account, This was paid ith —throngh the Union Trust Company, the same as the check for $12,750 25. On Leith being arrested he informed the deicctives that Edward D. Smyth, Veltman’s brother-in-law, was cognizant of the forgeries and received asbare of the proceeds, Detective Rielly arrested Mr. Smyth on Sat- urday at bis residence, Cumberland street, Brooklyn, On his boing arraigued at the Tombs be was remanded until yesterday ang the fact of his apprehension kept a profound secret by the detectives, Yesterday afternoon the examination came up beiore Justice Murray, at the Tombs. Ex-District bets f Morris, of Brooklyn, ap- peared for Smyth, ex-United States District Attorney Purdy for Leith, while District Attorney Herring con- ducted the prosecution, Mr. Apgar, on being placed on the stand, deposed that Veltman presented both the checks for certification and he certified them, behewing that the indorsements wero genuine; they were paid to William H. Leith through the Union Trust Company and the Bank of Commerce; on soarching Leith’s bouse, in company with Detectives Rielly and Haley, they found the stubs of checks and a memorandum; #iso signatures of the firm of Bryce & Smith, which were genuine, which and bad been cut out of checks. Mr. Charles 5. Bryoe testified that thi indorsements on the checks were forg Leith was then calied to the stund by bis counsel, and said that hé last saw Smyth in company with his son and Veitman, in a lager beer saloon in Gold street, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., at about bi ast two o’clock; Smyth was standing at the door; his son, Willam H. Leith, handed Veltman a package, which he said contained $5,000, which he bad drawn from the bank; they then went to a deer saloon in Fulton street, where Smyth and Veltman went into the closet; being anxious to see what was going on the witness shoved open the door and saw Veltman nand Smyth the pack- age of bills and a book which secmed like a bankbook; he closed the door and when Veltman and Smyin camo oat, Smyth said, “Now, Leith, you are not to know mo aud {am uot to know you;” Smyth is a brothe: Jaw ol Veltman, No sooner bad the examination of Leith been con- matures and cluded than Mrs, Smyth, a young and ladylike person who was sitting by her husband, jumped up ana, shak- ing her Ost in Loith’s face, said, “Oh, you scoundrel, you ruffian, liar and thief! How can you swear so?” Dotective Rielly produced a memorandum in cipher exactly corresponding with a similar one found in Velt- man’s possession when arrested. ‘This memorandum, Smyth claimed, had been made by him from informa- tion given by Veltman after the latter's arrest, Judgo said he was pot satisfied with the explanation by Smyth. Ex District Attorney Morris pro- ested against Leith’s evidence being taken as against Smyth. Justice Murray decided to hold both Smyth and Leith for trial. Formal complaints were then drawn up and examination set down for Thursday next at one o’clock, bail being fixed at $20,000, AN INHUMAN FATHER. On Friday last OMcer Corey, of the Fourteenth pre- cinct, while on post in Crosby street, found a band- some and raggedly attired boy, about ten years old, crying at the corner of Spring strect. He brought him tothe Mulberry street station, where, on being ques- tioned by Captain Allaire, the cbild said that his name was Charles O'Connor, that be lived in Webb street, Brooklyn, and that bis grandmother resided {n Joha- son street, in the same city. On Captain Allaire asking him how it was that that ho was iost in New York, the little boy said thi is father brought him over here and left bin on a sireet corner, saying he would bo back in a few minutes, By order of the Captain tho chila was given into the care of Matron Webb, of the Police Central Office, woo kept and fed him until yes- terday morning, when, being still unclaimed by his parents, he was taken before Judge Murray, at the Tombs Court, The Judge finally decided to ‘wend tho unfortunate child to the care of the Catholic Protec- tory, It being evident tbat his parents had utterly aban- donod him, RBOBBERIES IN THE CITY. ‘The apartments of Charles Morendo, at No. 63 Chrys- We street, were robbed of $14 and a gold watch and chain worth $260 by sneak thieves yesterday morning.
