SHEPHERD COLLEGE.

amount of practical good has been &C
complished by the urgent appeals that
have been recently made to our commu-
nifty in behalf of Shepherd College.
But, as a citizen who feels an abiding
interest in everything calculated to adj
vance the prosperity Of this town and
neighborhood, we sincerely hope that
those appeals have not been made IN
vain, and that when the ensuing session
shall begin, on the 9Th instant, it will
be with a sufficient number OF students
on the roll of the College as will give
its friends the confident assurance that
the Institution will be properly sus-
tanned.
Meanwhile it affords us pleasure to
record the encouraging fact that the
public-spirited President of the Board
of Trustees, Henry Shepherd. Esq with
an neutrality-suspicious. OF the lmpor-
tance of the College to our people, cred
liable alike to his head and heart, has
volunteered to subscribe hundred and
fifty dollars towards paying the tuition
fees of the College.
This is by no means the first instance
of Mr.. Shepherds generosity in the pro-
motion OF the public good here and
elsewhere. Identified as he is by name,
association and interests with this com
munity, it is natural that he should de-
sire to see its people prospecting and the
education of their children provided for.
Hence he has never failed 10 respond
with commendable liberality to every
proper application for aid to advance
the interests and promote the happiness
of the good people of Snepherdsiown
and its vicinity, and we refer to it lot
only because we deem it due to Mr.
Shepherd that his disinterested liberal
ity in this matter should be known, but
also because we consider it good ex-
ample to be followed by all who have
the means to spare for the purpose.
We trust therefore that MIR. Shop
herds timely example in this matter
may be promptly followed by Others
especially by those who wish to give
their children a frst-rate practical edu-
cation under careful and competent
teachers and at a less cost than II can
be had anywhere else-so that Shep-
herd College may be opened under
the favorable auspices and with the fair
prospects that it deserves and its nu-
merous friends desire.
The next session of this institution
will open Monday, September 8, 1872
ard continue 40 weeks. The teachers
will continue as last year, and the
school will be conducted as in the past
Both the Normal and Collegiate courses
will be continued, and the Regents will
confer diplomas as heretofore. These
diplomas have been made by law equiv
alent to No. l County Certificates, and
entitled to the same pay.
The rates of tuition have been fixed
as follows: Junior, Middle, and Senior
Normal, each $26 per session of ten
months; the Collegiate Classes, 1888 tor
the year. The Trustees have also au-
thorized a Preparatory department, and
put the tuition at Sl3 per year. For
circulars containing fullest information,
apply to Prof. Joseph McMurran.
We trust every friend of the school
will come promptly to its aid.

Halleluiah Jacks Argument.

A forty-niner from the upper part OF the
country, who had SO much forty-rod aboard
that he was oblivious to the customs of civil
lied society, dropped into saloon in neigh
boring town the other day, and by way OF di-
version pulled out his revolver and sent bull
let crashing into the wood-box. A peace officer
who by some unaccountable means happened
to be in the vicinity, heard the report, and
peering through the screen to see that there
was no danger inside, entered the door, and
went up to Halleluiah Jack who stood there
carelessly toying with the weapon he had just
fired.
"Come, Jack, put her away and don't bang
around here any more,' said Mr.. Policeman.
why not?'' tersely inquired the pioneer.
Because it's against the law TO shoot SO
cussed promiscuously in any State, and espec-
tally in California"
Jack staggered across tao barroom to where
large atlas hung against the wall. Taking 1t
down he pointed one of his toll stained fingers
to one of the numerous divisions.
That's Coliforny, amt it?'' he asked.

are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure. and none they will not benefit. They

How Far the Pleasure Of Smoking
Is Imaginary.

The question has been asked why a man
smoking pipe should not be aware when the
candle is put out whether the tobacco is still
burning. There is, first, the point of fact. 1t
may be questioned if anyone really finds HIM
self in the difficulty supposed. We believe
that, under certain conditions, the doubt may
exist. Smokers are not always large consum-
ers of the weed. They often form habit of
taking very little smoke into the mouth and of
breathing chiefly through the nose, The con-
sequence is the 'pleasure'of smoking may
consist in having something to do, and the sem
sation of doing that something is quite as likely
to be a matter of seeing as Of tasting. In cases
of this class, the smoker, being deprived OF his
accustomed evidence of means of enjoyment
may be distressed OF course it is not alleged
that man cannot ascertain whether the con-
tents of his pipe is lighted when he happens to
be in the dark That would lie sheer folly.
Meanwhile the experiment, If such it can be
called, is well calculated to draw attention to
the economic question low far the pleasure of
smoking is generally imaginary. If it be, a
suitable substitute for the expensive cigar and
wasteful pipe might be found in some perma-
nent material, of proper consistency, moulded
into the approved shape. 1t has long been q
mystery to some smokers how other smokers
could Systematically smoke bad cigars; the
mystery may be dispelled if it should turn out
that the fumes of the tobacco are not even in
haled

with her during the past two years came
to know oil her goodness and kindness
Of heart. Not n word in the letter
gave any intimation that he thought the
