Church Tuesday by the Social Circle.
Prof. Heath acted as pedsgogue, and his
efforts to gather class from the circle
proved unavailiug. Finally, after much
delay, on his motion it was decided to
turn the whole circle into pronounciDg
bee, and long list Of difficult words
written on black board was gone over
without much mispronunciation. One
blushing damsel pronounced discern
"thisurn," and then asked the reporter
not to publish her name, and another

exercise the pedagogue made few re-
marks upon correct pronunciation, and
