The steamer Ivernia, which has been lying at Fair Haven since the close of business last summer, will be seen again ere long in the waters of the harbor.

The cam pus was quiet Saturday night, the base ball victory having been so sweeping and com plete that no public celebration of the event was thought fit, and no fireworks were bought, as had at first been thought expe- dient in view of possible victory. But a few weeks elapse before Yales great anniversary comes again, with all it's attendant public events, when the campus will be gay, bright scene (weather permitting with a superb collection of lively faces listening to the class histories, and when the gay and fashionable circles of the city will be otherwise aroused from the ordinary drum quietude of existence. large number of the youth of the city already beginning to talk about Fourth of July, which this year brings no centennial anniversary of the landing of the British on our coast.
