The Senior who has not ordered

object of profound admiration and
sotfcitade to the tailors.
Some person or persons, who were
greatly in need of something to do,
cut several straps in the University
organ, on Friday evening and there
by put the Choir to great incon-
venienee. The energetic young gen
tleman of the "Choir" however, inn
mediately started out in search of
another orgrn and in less than TWEEN
ty minutes had one present having
carried it nearly u quarter of Il mile.
Superintendent Shisler intends to

building, the rubbish about the new

The opinion is abroad to some cx-
tent, that a bitter rivalry exists be-
tween the Normal schools and the
University. This is a mistake,- the
best Of feeling exists on the part of
the University towards the Normal
schools; and we believe that this feel
ing is reciprocatcd on the part of the
Normal schools toward the Uniyersi-
ty. The friends Of each have found
ii to their mutual advantage to work
in unison; each has scperate fields of
labor-which do not in the least CON
fict: and which will not be made to
appear so in the future by either
The Junior Exhibition 10 previous
" announced came off in the College
Chapel, ON Friday night. A very
large and highly cultured audience
was present. The Young ladies of
town and a select band of students,
furnished excellent music at judi
cious intervals throughout the per-
formance PRAYER was offered by the
Rev. Lowthcr. The performances of
the evening were opened by Daniel
Rich, who delivered an Grafton enti-
tied, "Hew to the line and let the
Chips Fly" Mr.. Rich was quite i'll
at the time of performing and consc-
quently his delivery was not as good
as usual-his performance however
was good.
A. +. Courtney delivered an Grafton
Oh "Magnets and Magnetism" The
substance Of this performance was
excellent; the appearance and ges-
ticulation of the speaker however
could be greatly improved.
Darkness Dccpens just before the
Dawn" was the subject Of an Grafton
by A. G.. Dayton. Mr.. Daytons de
livery WAS better than usual. some
few passages however he spoke too
fast. The substance of the perform
ance could have been improved upon;
he should especially cultivate consis-
tcncy in his arguments and tersenees
in expression-both being deficient
in this performance. The gentleman
referred to the death bed scene of q
friend which was of course very
touching and would have no doubt,
been qnite appropriate upon some
other occasion but to introduce such
an allusion into an Grafton Of eight
