THE GAZETTE.
MONDAY EVENING. DECEMBER q.
OF Princeton College correspondent of the
Newark Advertiser says:

"Amoug the changes introduced into Prince
tom College by the new president is the omis-
sion of the usual Sunday afternoon recitation
Of three chapters in the Bible, custom which
has been in vogue ever since the days of Presl;
dent Ashbel Green, who. tradition says, used
such connection. In place of this DR.. Mo
Gosh is giving series of lectures on the Life
of Christ, the students being required to take
notes and submit to subsequent examination.
These lectures are quite popular, and are at
tended by the seminary students also, who
crowd the college chapel every Sunday after
noon."

WHEREAS. The kind and cordial man.
ner in which we were received, and the
hospitality which was extended to our
Company by the Firemen and citizens of
Piqua, Ohio, while attending Tourna-

our hearts with gratitude: and, WHzRE
AS, such tournaments and generous riv-
airy between firemen add to their effici

therefore be it
Resolved, That we regard the Fire
men and citizens Of Piqua as our warm
friends, and that the splendid silver
trumpet received from them shall
ever be cherished as a memento of
their kindness, and we earnestly hope
that before its bright and beautiful pol
ish shall fade or tarnish, we may be able
to reciprocate their kindness by such acts

Resolved, That the ladies who SO I'M

weather, in preparing the splendid and
bountcous dinner to which we were

loaded with everything that heart could
wish; and we will ever cherish their eff
forts as coming from warm hearts, ever
