banquet in the evensng, which was
designed to be on more magnificent
scale than any heretofore given. A
upholstery, laces, rare Towering plants,
&C., were brought into requisition to
embellish the epicurean feast, full
description of which cannot be given
for want of space. Suffice it to say the
Glass succeeded most successfully.
The tree planted was a poplar, which,
in its native forests, grows to gigantic
size. So may each member of the
Glass grow in intellect and laudable
achievements, is the wish Of their
many friends. Prof. Schuyler, of

The fruit prospects are good. Peach
es, except late varieties, are now in
full bloom, and in some danger of the
northeast winds, which now prevail,
and if continued will blast. The same
may be said of pears, plums and cher

The Board of Education, at the last
regular meeting, ordered cast iron
bells put ON all the school houses in
town, which order has been complied
with. and most of the people in town
know, twice day, the time-teachers
standard-by the melodious cast iron
clang.
Saturday morning our people were
surprised to learn, that new business
enterprise had been put into successful
operation the evening previous, being
Telephone Company duly incorpo-
rated and officered. The announce
ment stated that the stock was all
owned by the Junior and Sophomore
classes. The direstors and officers were
all named, as a guaranty that the lines
connected evary business house in town
and business done at all hours of the
day, and messages scent at bottom rates.
On inquiry it was ascertained that the
mischievoue young men had by some
mysterious means, in the rain and ex-
cessive darkness of the evening, con-
nected with twine every aristocratic
business house in town.
This reckless conduct on the part of
wild young men, is getting to be seri-
GUS question with the efficient head of
the faculty. That he ponders over the
question, how to successfully bring
these wild youths under discipline, is
a notorious fact. That he gives his

clear that these business houses have
interfered with the students studies
and ought to be suppressed.
