COLLEGE HONORS.

! good many gentlemen have lately been favored
by this or that College with certificates OF their
ability to doctor Theology or Law, and there has
been some sharp discussion in certain journals
specting the fitness and force, in certain cases, of
these tags to decent peoples names. We submit
that " the game is not worth the candle" Some of
the new IL. D.s and d. DIS probably above and
some below the average Of such ware; but We have
remarked no such absurd creations this year as in
