town of Morgantown were fixed by the
common council as follows: Mayor and
Town Sergeant each 800, Recorder

the last year and now the officers viii
be expected to be active and efficient
and merit the appreciation shown them
by the Council. No doubt they will
fully meet the expectations of every
body.

UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
by our Special Reporter.1


A laIge number of students patron
lied John Robinson on last Saturday.
Lee, of the Senior Class, is on fly
ing trip home. Rich and Courtney
have retired to the country. The rest
of the class are still in town.
A telegram was received last Mon
day evening from President Thompson
in Wheeling, by Lieut. Ingalls,, stating
that the cadets would go to Wheeling
ON the 30th.
The Senior Glass passed their last
examination on the 18th and 10th.
The rest of the term they will have for
preparing their commencement per-
formances, which will be something
beyond the usual length heretofore, as
the class is somewhat smaller.
The Parthenon Literary Society, &C.
cording to announcement of last week
gave public performance on last FIJI
day evening in the University chapel
The society was opened with prayer
by the Rev. Jordan.
The disclaimers for the evening were
Messrs. Boyers and Geo. Morgan
whose subjects were, "1he American
Pulpit" and eulogy ON Franklin
Both efforts were quite c. editable. The
decision of the judges were in favor O.
Morgan.
The next performance was an essay
by L E. Hodges on the "West Vir'
ginia Hills" This performance was
entirely original and well read. Mr.
Hodges was followed by ]. N. Marsh
his opponent, with pretty and wei
written essay OH Symbols. Mr.
Marsh gained the decision.
The original orations were delivered
by Messrs. f. Cox and B. M. Jones
Mr.. Cox spoke on Texas Mr.
Jones on the durability of our Re
public" Complete self,possession, dis
tinct articulation, alike characterized
the delivery of both speakers. We
surely think we will not compliment
the gentlemen too highly when we give
as our opinion, that both efforts were
really unique. The decision was giver
in favor of Mr.. Jones.
The last performance was the debate
The subject for discussion read as fol
lows: "Resolred, that universal suf
frage should be abandoned as injurious
to the best interests of the Unitct
States. . The affirmative was support,
ed by Messis. Z. j. Marsh and Ricl
and the negative by Messrs B. S. Nor
gan and keenan,. The question is 9
scholarly one, but we think the discus,
sion was not sufficiently animated
Messrs. j. Nj. Lee, &. d. Purinton ant
S. Wade, of the Columbian Society
the judges for the evening, gave the
decision in favor of the negative.

New York is just now chucklmg
over rather 4 neat thing in police
court justice. One day, this week, a
man was caught in the act of carrying
of valuable lot of lead pipe from a
house belonging to a wealthy and
well-known carpet manufacturer of
the city. He was arrested and taken
pluader and all, before the nearest
police justice, who on hearing the
facts, sent a messenger 10 the carpet
manufacturer aforesaid, to cone over
to court, identify the property aud
make charge against the thief, all
in due form. But the owner refused
TO comply; he SAID the man had been
stopped and the property recoG
which was all he cared aboyA
that he wouldn't take the time t0y
a complaint. This reply having beer
communicated to the court, word was
sent back to the obdurate carpet man
that it was necessary for him to pre-,
fer the charge or nothing could be
done about the larceny; this seconC
messa9" received the same answer Il,
be.ole. namely, that the property haC
been Covered, which WAS all he wa
interested in, and that he wouldn't bC
bothered with prosecuting the fellow
On receiving this second rebuff, thu
justice turned to the prisoner and too
him that, as there was no charg,
against him, he could go. The luck,
thief, who could hardly realize hi
good fortune in a case where the fact
were 50 clearly against him, stare,
speeches. at The Judge for a minute
and then made break for the dool
"Hold on" said His Honor, "com
back and take this lead pipe with YOU
there is no evidence before the Cour
that it does not belong to you" Wit
a broad grin the eX-prisoner compile
and at once made himself scarce
while the Court, amid the llughte
and applause Of the bystanders, calm

STATE SPECULATIoNs - Nhc miners
of Pennsylvania In their proposal
that the State shall buy several mill
lons Of dollars worth Of iron and hold
it until the iron industry shall have
regaincd profitable position, are
only for reducing to practice the cur
rent theories Of men who profess to
be good deal wiser than they are.
1t is a short cut TO what Others aim at
through subsidies, the public employ
ment Of labor, and other kinds Of in
termeddling with the business OF the
people. 1t would be the same as the
State of Maine investing in lumber,
or Massachusetts, buying up boots
and shoes or wo9llen goods, till those
industries should have "regained a
profitable position" Who would pay
the expenses and the risks Of the OPP
Grafton? Some people seem to think
that pablo treasury is an isolated
concern, with money easily flowing
out of it, but not cent going in. SO
far as public expenditures are con-
cernad, every citizen should learn to
