has been laboring under mental alb

of his children several years ago,
their deaths occurring in close prox-
unity to each other. Up to within
few weeks he has been improving,
when suddenly he grew worse, SO
much SO that his family became fear
full of their lives. In this their dire
affiiction, Mr.. Frum, his family and
many friends have the heartfelt SYM

AT $50 o'clock on last Sabbath
afternoon President Thompson deliv-
cred a sermon on the Lessons of the
Spring Time His text was chosen
from the songs of Solomon. While
these discourses are specially direct
ed to the students of the University

doubtful meaning Shortly after
these distinguished gentlemen arrived
at the University, they were greeted
with salute Of II guns by Lieuten
ant ingalls,. Each of the gentlemen
and Senator Wiley were then called
for by the students, and responded
with brief but pertinent speeches.
