Certain "small boys" and ethers
from the village have been more or less
given to collecting upon the College
grounds Oh the occasion of a game OF
base ball and at other times, and some
have made themselves exceedingly of
tensive by their profanc and obscene
language and other noisy demonstra-
tions. Now all such are warned that
these acts are breaches of the public
peace and cognizable in court of JUS
tice, and besides, if not discontinued
may lead TO unpleasant relations be-
tween clown and gown" which is not
desirable, to say the least. A word TO
the wise is sufficient.
The report was ia circulation yes
terday that Governor Stewart had pur-
chased the DR.. Russell house and the
Brigham property and nobody knows
how many more dwelling houses upon
Seymour street, and that he was soon
intending to pull them all down and
reduce that part of the village to 80
bowling wilderness" But il appears
that the report was unfounded. lie is
in negotiation for the Brigham house,
and has purchased most of the shares,
and when he secures the title he will eli
Their remove the house or rebuild it, as
shall seem best when he is ready to act
lie has purchased none of the other
property referred to.

himself on the limb and commenced

watched with intense interest by those
passing and group of small boys
until last vigorous stroke brought the
astonishcd gentleman to the ground
along with the limb. Jim Madsgan

Mrs. Rhoda (Kclly) Sceley, widow
Of the late Jonathan Seclcy, died at the

stated. During the last years of hel
life she was much broken. She would
have been seventy-nine years of age had
she lived four days more. She was {
christian woman, formerly attending
the Methodist church, but for many

mans club or some other organized us
ISOLATION in this place for the purpose o
securing the enforcement of the gam,
and fish laws. IL matters very littl,
what shall be the name or nature of til,
organization, other than that the duty o
enforcing these laws should be incorpo
rated. In Ferrisburgh and Vergenne
they have sportsman's club, and thei

local relations. II might only devot
itself TO natural history, or include geol
ogy and mineralogy, or have any othe
feature of an improving tendency. Blu
some organization there should be d

, lations of the laws upon the subjects T.
: which we referred to above.
