do come, and if has been our good
fortune to avail ourselves of such
an opportunity recently. We refer
to the picnic at Wales last Tuesday.

with the fair and accomplished
Miss Lizzie Peden, arrived in due
time and partook of its many enjoy

success, and reflected much credit
on its managers. The party was
decidedly the most select I ever
saw in the country. An elegant
dinner was served, and everybody
eniOyed themselves hugely.

one of the examining committee
and in justice to Prof. Yancey, 1
pronounce the examination a good
one in every respect. The exami-

on them and their teacher. The
