Augusta, directed to President Woods,
Of Bowdoin College. The latter re-

already beautiful college library, caus-

was disclosed the chapel bell of Water.

colleges and acting upon this sugges-
ton, they had sent their chapel bell.
which they hope President Woods
would accept as token Of their re-
gard, and, in return, trusted he would
send them the chapel bell Of Bowdoin.
The joke was decidedly too heavy to
take, and the box was headed up with
its contents, to be returned to Water
vile. But as it remained at the depot
awaiting transportation, the BowdoiI
boys, as is easily supposed, spirited ii
away, and perhaps ere this it has safe

other University. Meantime the spas
