About midnight Wednesday night,
a large sized alarm of fire attended
with ringing of bells was started by the
students up at the college, who had
scraped together a pile of combustibles
and set them on fire. A few ever OF

funny, of course, but perhaps it would
be well for The students to remember

Finally they started out and were all
carried over the falls. Martin got
them out, and they did not appear to
be any the worse for their exciting
experience.
