Just fifty.two years since she came with

Mr.. Perce Harden, OF Wheeling, came

Col. O. h. Beall could not attend the
Alumni Dinner, which he very much re:
grets as he had been preparing himself
for that feast. But, worst OF all, the audi

speech that the Col. had prepared, which
cost him three weeks Of patient toll.
Through the kindness OF John O. Palmer
we have been made acquainted with this
fact, and have been promised, in the pres
ence OF the COL, a copy OF that speech for
publication In the ISTELIldEScER. Your
readers may therefore look for something
rich. 6. B. O.
