furlough at Utica, attending TO iAc affairs
of a hear but aged and declining relative.
Dr. L1omis We knew FIRST IL l resident
Of Western New \ ork, and was educated
at Hamilton, and Al Brown University

At the close of 4 tour-plrtly for rccrea-
ton, and partly for sceutiG: exploration
in South America, his services were secured
at Lewisburg. As an author, his Geology
and bis Physiology are hell to be standard
works. He is not superior speaker, but

Moyough e5acai>r, and let the Press and
the Graduates do the public work.

this direction.
