Physical Culture.

n College President said in a re-
cent address i'll regard to physical
culture:
"Allow me, also, to say that re-
volying years only serve to impress
more deeply on my mind the great
importance of physical culture" in
our colleges. The abuse connected
with some forms in which this has
been attempted, the neglect of study
and the waste of money involved,
and the gambling, and other vices
attending the more popular form 5
of this in Eastern schools, has, fear
brought bodily training into unde-
served disrepute among us. Still,
the importance of bringing a sound
physical constitution, as well as a
thoroughly informed mind, out of
college into the great field where
llfe's battle must be lost or won can.
not be overestimated. In the strug-
gle for education. and for a living
on leaving college halls, how often
do we see the brightest break down
through want of physical strength
proportional to the work before
them. Meanwhile, let us not des-
pise healthful outdoor exercise in
the way of cricket, base or foot ball.
or that best of all gymnastics, mill
tary drill. Through these, students
may develop their physique, and
work off that superintendent muscu-
lar and nervous tension which, if
not gotten rid of in the way OF ap-
proved and healthful recreation, will
find vent in ways and at times less
desirable. SO far as we can, let us
provide, and encourge them 10 use,
the means Of building up such a
bodily frame as will bear the sever
est mental strain. This will not
only save many from temptation
and the danger of evil habits, but
will pay large interest on all in
vested and 90 all concerned, i'm
meEtal as well as bodily health. 1t
will become more urgent upon us
TO do so as the struggle for existence
gets harder as competition for en-
| ployment grows keener, as the
standard of attainment in knowl-
edge and skill becomes higher"

Reproduction is one of the cardinal
features of the College work. OF
what benefits would il be to one TO

knowledge known TO others or to act

this view of the subject the teachers
OF the College with good reason strive
to cultivate in each student the power

To Former Students.

To all those who have been at one
time connected with the institution we
desire to say word. No one of you
but wants the College to succeed. You
have probably looked with regret and
dissatisfaction upon its career in the
past. This spirit should no longer
continue. The College has taken a
new lease of life, and it intends to make
that lease perpetual one. New men
and new forces have been set to work
in its behalf, New improvements are
contemplated in the building and
grounds. Her future prospects are
brighter now than they have ever been
at any period of her history. You
should do all in your power to render
her prospects still brighter. Revive
your loyal and generous love for your
alma Mater. Let her be once more,
in memory if not in reality, the centre
OF your thoughts, the scene of your
success, the goal of your aspirations
10 her, many of YOU owe your success
IN life. Be thankful for what she has
done for you, strive to extend her
blessings. Encourage her friends, in
crease her patronage, battle nobly for
her interests, revisit her sacred walls
and revive the pleasant memories of
long ago. Eushrine within your heart
of hearts the institution poor though
1t may have been where your spirits
drank deep a nd freely at truths I'M
sealed fountains Like the tabled
Phoenix she has risen from the ashes
Let us hope that she may experience
an immortal youth. Assist in making
her the educational Mecca of West
Virginia to which all eyes shall be
turned and whittier her wise and noble
sons aud beautiful and gifted daughters
will make their annual pilgrimage.

The success of the College during
the past Spring Term has exceeded
the expectations of It's most san.
guinc friends. Many years ago the
institution had large and increas-
ing patronage. It's reputation for
the accomplishing Of the most
thorough work has always been
high. Nearly 90 students were in
attendance during the Term. Many
were prevented from attending on
account Of business engagements
previously entered into, and the
lateness of the Term. (it began
March 2o). Our attendance would
have been much larger had the
Spring Term been held earlier.
The Spring Sessions of all the
other schools in the State had com
menced prior to that time, and a
great many of those intending to
attend College had entered some
other school. The influence of the
College is rapidly extending. The
indications for large attendance
next fall are very iattering. 1t is
believed that the Fall Term will
open Sept. 1, with 100 students. 1t
is now being brought to the notice
of the people of the State more than
ever before. Its accessible, healthy
and retired location, the excellent
instruction impaired, the cheapness
of attending it, compared with other
schools, are strong arguments in its
favor. Her friends expect much for
her future. Her career has in the
past been chequered one,
successes alternating with failures.
She is again rising, it is hoped never
more to fall. The time is not far
distant " hen every citizen of the
mountain STATE shall hold her in
re verend and sacred esteem.

The first piece Of gold found in California
was worth fifty cents. and the second five
dollars. Since that time one nugget has
been found worth $4,000; two. $4,000 ;
one, $4,000; two, $1,000; one, S6,5GO; -four,
5000; twelve worth from $1,000 to $1,000,
aud eighteen worth from $1,000 To $1,000
have been found aud recorded in the history
of the State. In addition To the above, mum.
berless nuggets worth from 500 to $500 are
mentioned in the annals of California gold
mining during the last thirty years. From
the date of the discovery Of gold IN Calfor-
MIA to the present time the yield has been
about $1,000, 100000; therefore it is very
easy to see the small figure that nuggets Gu,
in the gold yield. Big nuggets are very fine
things to show, but after all it Is the fine
