OK Sunday last, Oct. 10th, the

it being the day Immediately fol-

of the Lectern was placed a large

a heart Of exquisite rose-buds the

DIR. SAMSON selected a truly APP

certainly it was rendered in his
very best style.
The text was from II Samuel, iii
chapter, and part Of the XXxviii
verse. "Know we not that there is
a prince and a great man fallen this
day in Israel ?" 1t was certainly a
delicate subject to handle under the
circumstances, but the Rector prov
ed himself equal to the occasion,
for II was the universally express
ed opinion of all, that DR.. SAMSON
had not said one word too much or
too little, but just enough. In IL
lucidating the subject, DR.. SAMSON
dwslt particularly upon General
Lees greatness and true christian
character, saying "the country and

The following is decidedly the
neatest little mathematical puzzle
that has come to our notice. 1t
occupied the attention of one Of
the clubs, the other evening, until
a late hour and some Of the mem
bcrs are said to be puzzled over it
yet: A man has GO apples he sells
30 for ID cents, which is a half
cent apiece, or two apples for one
cent. He sells the remaining 30
for 10 cents, which is a third of a
cent apiece or 3 apples for | cent.
Thus we see that Tor ) apples he
gets , cents now, how many cents
does he get for 60 apples? The
problem seems plain enough, and
the rule of three gives the imme.
date result of q. But on the
other hand, if he gets Is cents for
80 of his apples and 10 cents for
the remaining 30, it seems evident
that he gets 2j for the sixty" 1t
is said to be a poor rule that won't
work bot. ways, but this one seems
utterly to refuse to.
