MoRGANTowN, June 5, 1878.
The time has now come when the sober
"Soph." leaves his loose cash in care of
the ice-cTeam saloon keeper, for the pri-
vllegeo of, in company with his eyer-?eady
fair one, euyelopng saucer Of lrlgldlty
to drive out the heat; while the impecu-
Nous and iruit-loviog "Fresh." SIT st
comfortable t2l distance from their lnam-
oratas until the "wee sms' hours" and
then repair to cherry Hip TO revive
their dropping constitutions with some OF
Mrs. Wilson's fine sweet cherries. Oh,
! that we were Freshman, or that we
might enjoy what he could easily spare
| of his nights entertainment! But why
! sign for the joys of youth? The time
will soon come when they, too, will sigh
! like the Juniors and Seniors Tor deliver
ance from the Toll III preparation for con-
test and commencement, while now they
are less happy than the prep" who
wandeTs away and takes "cooIer' IN
! MoDOugahe,as clear waters, without eI-
pense, loVe-slck signs or risk from Ralph's
trusLy revolver. The transition state
is upon them now, and the nature Of
their emergence from it will decide their
future success or failure, their utility or
worthlessness. God grant them 3 happy
deliverance.
Fortunately our gloomy prediction as
to the return OF the cadets was not iul-
filed, for they ell returned bcaming with
delight, and warm in their praises OF the
Wheeling people and the reception tend
cred them. Two men, members OF the
Senior Glass, were wounded one by too
eagerly listeriog Ia talng we should avoid
in future, at the muzzle OF q L)uave
mu:ket; the other by-welI we ere
scarcely able to say what, as we were
not there, - but we tear he WAS loo late IN
starting, and had too far to walk from the
festival on Wednesday night. 1t Is lorg
walk from the hail to the centre OF South
Wheeling, and 70 men of feeble const'tu-
ton such walk in the night air is con-
duCiyc TO quincy, If not TO serious alice
ton of the heart. We would advise that
misguided youth in future either to start
earlier or TO ":tsy all night" There Is
no charge for this sdvlce-it is entirely
gratuitCus.
The former Of these, Sergeant Court.
ney, is rapidly recovering; but we would
call upon sll TO sYmpsthlze with the
other in his severe stlliction, as the wound
is internal, and consequently battles med
zeal skill. However his case may not
prove fatal if he continues TO receive
seml-weekly healing prescriptions from
tie seat o. war.
The President will again visit Wheel
ing this week and order the printing OF
the commencement programmes.
Our prospects are encouraging for a
large attendance st the commencement
this year. President Thompson has
secured the promise o. excursion rates
on the b u o. railroad NJ the low
figure of $40 from Wheeling to Fair
mont and return, and the round trip
from there to Morgautown by Bright's
hack =. GO. These reduced rates extend
from Monday, June 9th, to Friday, the
25th. Now is the time for M0rgantOwn's

We would modestly suggest the pro-
pritty Of the Yves. Virginia military
companies raIlying TO our STATE iustitu-
ton ut that time and regsling and ex-
hibiting themselves by good shsm bat
tie on our Fair Grounds on the alter
noon of COMMENCEMENT! Day. After the
success Of the Wheeling battle this would
certainly be an attractive addition TO and
8 diversion from the regular routine OF
that weeks exercises. The more | think
Of it the moro l imagine it would be a
grand thing for Morgantown, for the
University and Tor all who might wit
ness or take part in il.
The pupils Of tho Morgsntown Fe.
male Seminary will give musical and
literary entertainment on Thursday
evening, June llth. II will be something
fine.
Rev. 4. &. George. of Wheeling, will
lecture in Chapel Hall June 18th, at $50
pm. Yours, RIES.
