Colby University.


There is law in Colby as in other colleges
de991ryoughous the land, one not written in the
handed down from one class to the other, for
bidding Freshmen from wearing silk hats or
carrying canes. This law, although in direct
opposition to every principle of justic., is new
ertheless usually strictly enforced, and woe to
the unhappy Freshman who has the manliness
to break it. The present Senior class when
Freshmen did much to destroy this perncious
usage, and contrary to all precedent insisted
upon wearing silk hats aud INDUCING in other
privileges not usually enjoyed by Freshmen
The result WAS, number Of hats were wet Or
stolen, and the upper classes did all in their
power 10 ipiure the students who dared make
such an innovation. But in spite of precedent
in the face of all opposition, seventy-seven tri-
umphed, and blotted, as they supposed forever
this remnant of barbarism from the college
escutcheon. This year, however, the tide Of
affairs has taken different turn. The Sophie
mores have thrown aside the precedent estab-
! lished by seventy-seven, and have inaugurated
the old system with all its evil consequences.
| A number of the Freshmen have had water
| thrown upon them by unseen hands, have had
| their books stolen, and in one instance Fresh
mans room has been broken into A few OF
the freshmen have purchased canes, but these
have also been stolen. Saturday the Freshmen
held an Indignation meeting and resolved as a
| class to carry canes Monday morning. To the
surprise and disgust of the Sophs every Fresh
man carried cane into prayers. Some of the
Sophs threaten vengeance, but to all appear
ances the Freshmen will come out victorious
The sentiment of the two upper classes is with
the Freshmen.

were many other quaint old relics of We

pass Them by with the remark that the display
as whole exceeded our expectations, and
shows that the Bristol people had ancestors
and that those ancestors passed down through
generation after generation, many dearly
priced family relics.
A space was reserved in the center
OF the hall for the exhibit OF articles of
all KINDS that the members saw fit to enter.
Among these articles we saw magnificent
featner rooe made by the native girls of New
Zealand and presented by chief of that of far
off CLINE to Capt. Isaac A Fosfett for some ia
vor shown him. The manner of making these
robes is as follows: Certain kinds of birds of
brilliant plumage are shared by these natives
and few of the most highly colored feathers
olucked out and then the birds are let loose
again. 1t takes several years to make one of
these robes. A fur robe was also exhibited by
the Captain made by natives of West Africa
from the skins of wild animals, a very beautiful
affair.

Universalist Fair.

The ladies of the India street Universalist
church begun fair at the City Hall yesterday
afternoon which will close tonight with a
promenade concert The ladies have worked
industriously for months on articles of use and
fancy, and the tables around the hall are
loaded with the products of their taste and
skill. The gentlemen, too, have contributed
literally. especially Clerk of Courts Little
field, who has given a first class Wheeler &
Wilson sewing machine, and the result is a
very abundant and valuable display.
The fair is partly agricultural in character,
for one table gtoans beneath burden of all
kinds of vegetables, and grapes and apples
tempt the visitor. The tables extend around
three sides of the hall and the display of all
kinds is certainly profuse aud attrac-
tive. A corner of the hal is adorned with a
flower booth and there are fish ponds where
the angler is sure of catching something.
Women are allowed the privilege of suffrage
here and can have as much voice in the dis
posal of the elegant easy chair, feather boquet
and wax harp az the lords of creation. 1t is
needless to say that they are not slow in exer-
cising 1t and are vigorously caucusiug and
canvassing for their favorite candidates.
The afternoon is devoted strictly to business,
and it appeared yesterday as if business was
brisk. In the evening vocal concert was Civ
en- by the church choir assisted by Mr.. j. Fl
Ward, Misses Hodgkins, jackson, Milliken
and Leavitt and Mrs. Knight, with an orches-
trail and piano accompaniment, the latter play
ed by Miss Ada f. Hodgklns The selections
were we'll made and their execution won warm
applause. Perhaps the closing song "The
Ladies Welcome Calp' was the most generally
needed for it called thu audience to a bountuful
Antiquarian Supper in the Reception Hall,
where for % cents one of the good square
meals of ye olden TYNE could be INDUCED in
and was INDUCED in by a large number of those
present Certainly the first day proved
eminently successful. To-day the fair will be
continued. the afternoon being devoted to the
sale of the articles on exhibition and the eve
ming to promenade concert. Chandler will
furnish the music.

THE OWNERSHIP OF PREsCR1PTIoNs.-A
Bath correspondent writes to say that the ques-
ton between physicians and druggists in gard
to the ON nersnip of prescriptions arose in
Kings county, New York, some years since;
that it was carried to the courts, and there the
physicians ownership was fully established
Our correspondent is under the impression that
the case was reported in the doings OF the
Medical Society of New York city, but does
not RENE mber the date. Those interested will
do we'll to look the matter up. Doubtless the
case can be found in the New York Reports.

SCHENCk,S SEA WEED TONIC,
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of a patient; they lock up the
liver, stop the circulation of the blood hemorrhage
follows, and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough
Liver complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds of the cases Of Consumption. Many per-
sons complain OF dull pain in the side constipation
of drowsiness and restlessness the food lying heav
lily on the stomach, accompanied with acidty and
belching up of wind
These symptoms usually originate from disor-
dered condition of the stomach, or torpid liver.
Persons so affected if they take one or two heavy
colds and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged re-
naming torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs mass of Sores and ulcera-
ted, the result of which is death.
Schenck' s Pamonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated to
check cough suddenly.

digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
