University Notes.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.


Notwithstanding the inclcmcncy of
the weather. a large number OF the
friends of the Juniors gathered in
Chapel Hall to hear their first public
performance. The Juniors number
five Mcssrs. Anderson, McCutcheon.
Miller, O'Brien and Robinson. The
performance was equal to any of
former years, and their friends were
gratifed at the excellence OF their
productions. Mr.. O'Brien at the
c'osc of the exercises called the Pres
ident to the front, and presented him
with beautiful cane with massive
and ornate gold head, bearing an ap-
propriate inscription. The students
took this means of showing their
warm friendship for the President.
In very neat impromptu address
the President thanked the students
for their offering. The music was
furnished by the NJ. E. Choir. TAX
ing the performance as whole it
was an enjoyable affair. and the Jun
iors may feel proud Of their first APP
pearance in public.

DORIS FARMING PAY--JoBs RIpe

DoEs FARMING PAY?--JoHN RIDG
WAYS PROFITS FRo1 Butter MAKING
-SeAE SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR FARM.
ERs.-A few days ago, from O CONVEX
sation with Mr.. John Rideway, ose
OF the most intelligent and success
full farmers of Grant district, we
learned some valuable facts in refer
ence to the profits of farming and
dairying. 1t is well known here that
Mr.. Ridgway furnishes in this mar
ket most excellent quality of butter
and a considerable amount of it.
Mr.. Ridgway being good thinker
and careful calculator is ready
talker and can give the results OF his
experience in a few words very clear
ly. We learned from him that from
four cows he had sold, in this place,
for the cash within the past year
S90lbs of butter, receiving for it
$230.05, being an average of nearly
26 cents per pound. This is exclusive
of the amount of butter, cream, milk
and butter milk used by his own
family. Mr., Ridgway estimates that
the product of the COWS used by his
family, the milk fea to the pigs and
the manure viii pay fair price for
the labor, thus leaving $3.50 in money
and the calves to pay for the feed
consumed by the cows, He further
estimates that the value of the calves
plus $50 will pay for all the food, at
cash market rates. He then has
5000 cash left, or more than 100 per
cent. on the value of the cows made
clear in one year. Mr.. Ridgway's
views on the profits Of butter making,
intelligently conducted, coincide with
ours, viz: that if any other business
will pay better than that we have not
yet found out what it is. The cows
are not blooded stock either. But
they are good, strong, sleek, well
fed, good natured animals. They
are comfortably stabbed and provided
with clean beds every night. For
this care they return to their master
one hundred fold in profit every year.
And added Mr.. Ridgway, "the
butter is n cash article bringing the
returns every week. which is quite a
consideration" We will learn more
of his business in the future and give
its results to our farmers.

LAUREL PoINT, Feb. Give, the
citizens of Graut district, assembled
ut Laurel Point, to rejoice over the
defeat Of the railroad subscription.
The house was called to order by s.

B. Gray, B. +. Long, S. Stewart and
W. II. Rice, condcmning bosssm and
taxation, and also censuring our
county judiciary for making an order
the second time to tax the people for
the same object, and further we al
ways thought our county papers were
to print all questions pro and con,
and would be glad If some first class
Journalist would come into the county
and print pro and con Of all ques
tons. II. G, Price and others Of
Flickersyille, were present with their
artillery; they planted it on the
hill above the City Of Laurel Point,
they then opened fire which made
things tremhlc. Tar barrels were
burnt which illuminated the heavens
for some distance around, and then
the committee came in and made
their report and presented the follow
ing resolutions:
Resoiced, lst, That we extend our
congratulations to the voters of Mon
ongalia county. for the interest they
took in the r. r. proposition on

Resoired, 4th, That we, the people

w. A. nj EsTREzAT-From a late
number of the Oregon City Enterprise
we learn that our old friend Walter
A. Mestrezat is figuring largely in
musical circles in the far West. The
paper speaks Of concert thus: ''The
concert by members Of the 2lst In
fantry Band at Pope's hall last
Wednesday evening was musical
treat The whole program was good,
the cornet solo, Yankee Doodle, with
variations, being especially worthy
of mention. 1t reminded us of Levy
in his best days" The solo referred
to was rendered by Walter. He also
performed prominent parts in several
of the principal exercises. We always
knew his ability as a musician and
his worth as a gentleman would be
recognized wherever he went. His
many old friends here are watching
his course upward with much in
terest.

New YORK., June 25.-The early part of
the day in Wall street was a counterpart of
Saturdays market, but little doing and
hardly any change in values. little ac-
tivity in Jersey Central and Canadian Pa
ciic was about the only relief offered.
Shortly after p. N. selling movement
set in, Denver being the main point of at
tack. 1t declined over per cent. with
hardly rally. The Vanderbilts were weak.
and also the Changers. Union Pacific lost
l per cent. Lake Erie & Western. which
advanced so rapidly last week, collapsed
to-day, and Ontario d Western sold at 26.
The principal shrinkage has been among
properties that earn 10 dividend and show
no likelihood of doing so. The fear that
the decline in the grain market here may
cause further disaster among operators IN
the west had a good deal 70 do with the
weakness in the stock market. There were
no other ruInor circulated to affect It IN
faTorably. Bears helped the downward
