they come to the most improved culture.
The most usual rotation Is from the sod

+. Special 10 tie comioerciaL.
NEWARK, MAY 10.
The all-absorbng topic of the last week, the
spelling bee, came off on Saturday evening last,
in the oratoly of the college, and, as we had
hoped it was the grandest success that las tax
en- place in the ora.ory for years, filling the hall
to its fullest extent, and giving general satisfae
ton to all concerned. The spoilers numbered
from 80 to 33, who took their positions as set
apart for them. The bee was for the benefit of
st Thomas Episcopal Church.
Prof. E. ID. Porter acted as pedagogue, and
Profs. Mackey and Holloway as umpires. Around
went the words as - feed to the "bees, which
for while they masticated quito easily, but
soon they began to droop, and fall back. The
audience of course, laughed and applauded the
unfortunates; the more comic the spoilers ap-
peared, the greater the applause.
The successful competitors were Kirg Bee
and winner of the lat prize, William Cooch; I'd,
