 Dr. McCosh' s resignation as president of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton. was unanimously refused by the trustees Wednes. day. Dr. Murray was made dean and en- dowed with the disciplinary management of the institEtion. It is the general impression that the faculty proposes during the coming term to restrict the indulgence in base ball and lacrosse, which Dr. McCosh complains has been excessive. An effort will be made to suppress the football matches with Yale and to keep all outdoor games limited to Princeton and locality, and to twice week in number. Princeton seniors yesterday were willing to bet any number of new hats that an effort to stop the football championship bouts with Yale would end in dismal failure

A man between forty and fifty years of age with a cadaverous looking countenance, short side whiskers and black mustache made himself obnoxious at the entertainment giv- en by the ladies of Trinity M.

The church officers who were present were notified of the act and very promptly ejected him from the church.
