PRESIDENT,

n SISTED by large and able Faculty,
will begin its Twenty first Academic year on
Tuesday, the 23rd of September.
The last session was eminently prosperous.
Over tweny-three Per cent. more pupils en-
tered than were in attendance the previous
year. and greater number than had been
catalogred since ls60-6l.
The President having resigned the Pres
idency of Mississippi College. which he has
jointly held for the last six yEars, will here
after give his undivided attention to the In
stitute. BY concentrating thus his entire ex-
perience and energies, he will doubtless be
able TO elevate the character of the institution
even above what il has heretofore possessed.
For catalogues, or other information, ad-
dress the President Of the Faculty.

then tried blue stone, but the doctors
interfered aud relieved him before any

strychuine WAS in his house, and that
was his next resort, but the family sent
it off to a neighbor's to keep it out OF
his wsy. He told them unless they
brought it back he would starve him
self TO death, and refused for several
days to eat anything. He ssid if they
would bring it back be would behave
himself, and 60 to eating, and not at

ted to see it setting on the firebosrd
To crafty him it was brought back but
soda was substituted for the strychnine.
He examined it and was satisfied that
it was all right, and when dinner came
he sat down at the table and ate a while
and then got up and went into the room
and emptied out spoonful OF the sup

laid himself down on a bed and told
