It's portraits of different members of the faculty are not liable to the usual charge of fattery. Its statistics are not so carefully arranged as some but they are quite valuable. We learn that hash was discovered in Sparta about two thousand years since but that it is not one of the Lost Arts. It further appears that at the last election of class deacons, 46 godly persons cast si9ty.four votes on one ballot; that the 25th January was a day of prayer for all colleges except Mos sachusetts Agricultaral College (winner's s of last years boat racs). The work is ap- propriately illustrated. i5 # 4 #H sEH

 - Our farmers came very near being robbed of about $375, last week. Two Germans came through here in the fall, buying about one hundred cases of to- bacco direct from the farmers, and came again on Saturday, for receiving it.. Acar load had almost been weighed, but upon the last box one man noticed that there was 90 pound weight on the scales that had not been counted in; he remarked this to one of the men, who immediate ly took them of and threw, them on the ground. refusing to reweigh the box pre- ferring to pay for the % pounds. This was related to others, and they, smelling . rat, 7 sent two men to New York to exam inc into the matter, which they did, find ing about fifty pounds more in every box than the men had marked on the outside of the boxes, or had given the farmers credit for. So, on Saturday, some of the unfortunate went to New Milford and at tached some of the tobacco the fellows had been buying there. The trial is to come off soon, but we Kentites do not much be- heve that they will appear to face the music. Their names are Solomon & O., New York. Brand them and pass them
