candidates, twelve of whom were admitted,
making total of ii members in the FRESH
man class. The Sophomore class numbers 81,
the Junior class &c and the Senior class 4S.
There have been three new members admitted
into the upper classes, two of whom are from
Bates College, one in the Senior and one in
the Junior class, and one from Colby in the
Sophomore class
During the summer vacation the college
buildings have been undergoing series of
repairs. A large majority of the students
rooms have been neatly papered, painted and
thoroughly renovated.
Under the directions of Prof. Smythe the old
mathematical recitation room has been
thoroughly revised and is now the best recita-
ton room in the college. 1t is twice the size
of the old one, and the facilities for work and
ventilation are much better.
The work for the completion of Memo.
rial Hall has not yet commenced, although
the money donated for that purpose by Mrs.
Stone of Maiden is ready for use 1t is ex-
pected that the work will commence sometime
the first of October, as soon as the boards meet
to see exactly what they wish to have done.
The completion of Memorial Hall will
necessitate new gymnasium as the hall is at
present used for that purpose. Prof. Vose has
drawn up plan for new one, which, it is
reported, will be very nice.s
The course of study has been entirely
changed, with design to make the difficult
studies more in conformity with the advance
of the student.
Hazing is a thing of the past; there is no
more climbing of doors, dancing on tables and
other characteristics of the old hazng custom.
The Freshman now walks the campus with a
dignity equal to any Sophomore
We consider the abolition of hazing one of
the best things, which could have happened to
the college, yet miss the pleasant times. which
such system afforded The increase in the
number of students this year over last wear
gives us hope that the future classes will be
still larger.
Brunswick itself seems to have improved
somewhat during the summer. New side
walks have been laid in various portions of the
town, an improvement which was much
needed. The old bridge crossing the river
between Brunswick and Topsham has been
torn down, as it was considered unsafe, and
operations upon new one commenced. A
large three story and a half brick block has
been built on Main street where the old box
factory, which was burnt last winter, stood. 1t
is occupied at present by the Dennison Box
Manufacturing Company. The first floor of
the building contains two large stores, in the
rear of which, is the store room of the box
factory; on the second floor are numerous
machines used for cutting the paper in the
required sizes; here also is the department for
making the larger sized boxes. On the third
floor small boxes of every description are
made. The upper floor is used as packing
room.
The factory has been running only since
Friday and yet employs over one hundred
hands; when in full operation it will probably
employ between two and three hundred.

The Wreck at Sandwich.

The PRESS of September Oath stated that
the schooner sunk off Sandwich, Mass, was
probably the L. w. Pierce of this port, loaded
with brick. The divers have now ascertained
that the PRESS superstition was correct The
divers found that the schooner was evidently
not at anchor when she sunk, but was trying
to work out of the bay, having part of her
sails set for that purpose; that she broke her
bows aud consequently began to fill, and the
crew took to the boat, cutting one rope and
unlocking the other, and were afterwards,
doubtless, swamped and all lost, as nothing
has been heard of them and the boat and COM
pass came ashore. The vessel went down head
first as one of her anchors was under her. She
was evidently an old vessel, hardlyseaworthy
The wreckers stripped her of what was avail
able-rigging, sails, one anchor and chains.

To-day the sale of seats for Aldrich's COM
pany of ''My Partner will commence at New
Portland Theatre. The New York Mirror
says:
My Partner has been filling the Union

accustomed ''hits' at the very outset of the

Saunders cannot be too highly praised. Moth
ing truer to nature, or stronger in its develop
ment, has enlisted attention for good while,
and the mind can afford to rest upon it and
analyze some of its merits. Mr. Aldrich's
career as an actor is replete with good work;
it is record of bad parts made presentable of
good parts utilized, and of great ones created.
1t is record of unfagging, restless hard
work, bending toward a goal which has now
been attained Whatever there is good land
there is not a little) in Aldrich as an actor is

all his work, and his experience as an artist.

Assignment,

1t is with great regret that we announce the
assignment by the we'll known book house of
Dresser, Mcclellan & Co. of their effects to
Hon. Nathan Cleaves, for the benefit of their
creditors. The cause of their suspension is the
failure of Otis Hayford of Canton, and the
consequent failure of many persons connected
with him. Some of these were largely in
debted to Dresser, Mcclellan & Co., and the
loss is so great that the latter firm is compelled
to suspend 1t is to be hoped that SO enter
prising house will be able to make some adj
justment with their creditors SO as to continue
in business. Any other result would be a Sc
rious public misfortune. Mr.. Dresser, the
senior partner, has been for many years in
business and this is the first time he has failed
to pay every cent of Indebtedness at the mo-
ment when it was due. The other partners.
Mr.. Mcclellan and Mr.. Roberts, are younger in
business, but have always maintained an un-
blemished reputation. These facts will doubt
less assist in facilitating settlement, and the
high character of Judge Cleaves makes it GER
tain that meantime the interests of the credi-
tors will be carefully protected

prolonged The disease is ushered in by
hacking cough and congestion of the lungs,
followed by running at the nose and muscular
weakness. The disease generally leaves its vic
tim in about a week.
