choice selection, purporting to be descrip-
ton of an observatory. Did not find out
the authors name. The selection was espe-

left its confined limits, and discussed Of
matters ranging from stars OF the first mag-
nitude down to mortals of low degree.
Prof. W. c. Rote read a couple Of short
extracts in the nature Of fables; from "Half

dance-supper was announced
and the guests were escorted
to the dining hall, where there
was spread an elegant table,

passed in pleasant and enter
tanning conversation, interper-
sed with some splendid music
vocal and instrumental; when,
at seasonable hour, the guests
departed for their homes, ex-
pressing many good wishes for
