died suddenly last Saturday from violent
attact of cholera morbus And the same
papers append very handsome obituary
notice of him, (which is doubtless all de.
served) and freely sympa,hixe with his be-
reaved parents and friends. We desire to
inform our contemporaries of the Metropolis
that Mr.. Parsons is still alive and able for
his rations, and that the cold and clammy
hand of death is perhaps no nearer grasp.
ing him than any other of the 1900 inhab.

much obliged for the solicitude manifested
in his behalf, and hopes to bo able to recip'
rocate Mt some future time.

venience cannot be excelled by any other
educational institution in Oregon. while the

on the coast. Prof. Emery, member Of
the Faculty, has just erected Il large addi.

MEDIATE an unlimited number of students

excellent boarding arrangements. The pub
