aduates, the conferring of degrees, the valedictory, addresses, &c. There are said to be at present one hundred and fifty-four thousand tons of ice, varying from twelve to eighteen inches in thickness, stored in ice-houses on the Hudson river. An official report to Congress shows that the whole number of rebel prisoners of war who have enlisted in the Union service thus far is about three thousand nine hundred.
