The 'Union-XcruId annour ccs that
this institution has closed it's doors
for the l'cssion, in consequence Of
tlre'rrevalcnce Of typhoiafGvcr. It
says: "FoHr cases broke out in the
institution, one of which proved
fatal, when Professor Jones deemed
! it better, as there were only two
! weeks more for studv, to send the
young ladies' home. Consequently
there " i'll be no commencement this
year. 1'he Principal is ut loss to
account for the prcyalcnce of such
disease in such II heaithy locality,
