This provides nearly every citizen
in the town with an office, so that
there can be no jealousies. AS the

be created, so that each new conner

We are glad to learn of this action
of the citizens. Durbannah is now
fourishing village. 1t contains a car
riage and wagon factory, machine
shop and planning mill, foundry and
stove factory, an architect, surveyor

AS times get better we shall expect

special column in the New DOMINION

"A man must often exercise, or fast,
or take physic, or be sick" says an
eminent medical authority of an early
date. The wisdom of this sentence
ought especially to be appreciated

lectcd here, even moie SO at present
than in former times.
IE the absence Of a gymnasium and
proper boating opportunities, it is
necessary for the students to devise
some otter means by which these de-
fects may be supplied and a proper,
congenial and healthful method OF
exercise secured, which will be pos
sessed of the twofold quality. of yield
ing exercise and amusement.
We can think of nothing better
than baseball, which ON account OF
the excitement Of the game, of the

universal popularity would likely be
very successful both as to its system

college.
But in order to- effect anything in
this direction we must proceed in q
systematic manner There should be
a meeting of the students and a com
mittee appointed, who need not neces-
sarily be players themselves. This
committee to be selected from various
parts Of the University, in order that
the interest would be general. The
committee should take steps to raise
the necessary means to fix the
grounds, which could be made very
good with a little work, and to pro
cure the required outfit. We do not
apprehend that they would find the
least difficulty in collecting the need
| ed funds.
