road at excursion rates. The fare
from Wheeling to Fairmont and re-
turn will be $3.10. The tickets will
be issued on Monday, June oath and
will be good for five days. The fare
from other points on the road will be

ent Of the Fairmont turnpike, has it
in better condition now than it has
been for years, as evidenced by the ear

and it is to be hoped his services may
be retained for leng time. He has
constructed numerous bridges where
were ugly cutters and mud holes, and
has made several underdrains, thus
making the road perfectly smooth for
long distances. 1t is now pleasure to
drive over the road.

The trip to Wheeling proved a
most pleasant recreation to the cadet
corps. This is the second visit to
Weeling within two years. Commu-
nicaton with the outside world is SO
inconvenient and the opportunity SC
seldom comes, that when an opportu-
nifty is afforded for the student to get
glimpse beyond the hills that bound
our little horizon, and relief for =
short time from the pressure Of study
it is eagerly seized. No serious ac-
cident occurred to any cadet. Mr.
Courtney, of the Senior Class, while
defending the colors received a charge
of powder in the side of his face
which produced rather painful
wound, but no serious designation
We shall not comment upon the con
duct of the cadet corps, which has al
ready been spoken of with honor by
the Wheeling papers. We desire
however, to mention the names OF
Corporals Seamon, Hodges and Hy-
land, for the diligence they displayed
in guarding the University guns on
the way to Wheeling. Mr.. Seamon
was commandment of third detachment
and showed Napoleonic bravery dur
ing the battle.
