UNIVERSITY NEWS.
By OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

The brave privates of the cadet
corps got scared out by an approach
ing examination and begged of. Fine
soldiers they'll make. Regular drill
has been resumed since the open
weather began. The entire corps
has been formed into one company
again.
We are glad to welcome onr old
friend r. H. Strauss once more. He
has been attending medical lectures
in New York. Wonder what brings
him back to Morgantown so promptly?
Prof. Kidd has secured q class of
seventy-five at Fairmont - almost
double the number here.
Any one who does not believe in
total deprayity has only to make the
acquaintance of certain set not a
hundred miles from here and he will
soon be converted. A few DAYS or
nights observation would convince
the most skcptical.
An ahortive attempt was made, on
Monday night, to burn the boat house
that stands on the University grounds.
The end of the boat was drawn up to
the side of the house and the fire
started in, or under 1t. burning some
four feet Of the boat and charring
the weather boarding. Nothing but
wanton mischief could prompt the
deed. A vigilance committee needs
to be organized to put few fellows
in the river.

On, THE MUD! THE MUD!-Mud on
the right Of us, mud on the left of us,
mud in front and rear, overhead and
underfoot, without bottom or limit.
Farmers say they cannot ride safely
to town even on horseback. They
must foot it through the fields. They
have provisions for sale; they have
marketing that is spelling on their
hands, which the town people are
anxious to get and pay for, but the
farmer can't get in and the buyer
can't get out. How long will the
rich an proud county of Menongalia
consent to suspend business during
four or six months in the year for
want of hard public road to the
county seat? Think Of it-not mile
of stone road leading out of Morgan
town in any direction except to the
mountain, where it is least needed!
Will not our people shortly wake
up to the propriety; to the profit; to
the downright necessity of stone
roads in this county, or will they con-
tinue to wear out their lives and i'm
poverish themselves with wading
through the mud for all future time?

The present State convention is
not so important however as the one
will be that dominates a State ticket
and the work Of organization which
will be begun Saturday. should be
done With a view of the work to be
accomplished this wear. for It Is per

pie be heard and the whole force fully
organized--and every personal inter

No journal of its class has attracted
so much attention during the past
twelve months as the TINT, Field and
Farm, published weekly at 30 and
Al Park Row, New York. 1t has
discussed breeding theories in such
Il way as to make marked impress
sion upon the thoughtful public mind
and to draw out the views of many
able students OF the problem Of re-
production. 1t has shed great deal
Of light on an important question,
and its opinions haze been widely
quoted. Its reports OF running and
trotting meetings have been models
of clearness and accuracy, and its
Field and Kennel department. has
been better than ever. The first
bench show, the first gun trial and
the first field trial in America were
given at the suggestion and under
the direction of the Tuyf, Field and
Farm, and so there is a logical ren-
son for the paper being recognized
ms an authority upon dogs and guns
as well rs horses The athletic and
aquatic champions have signed in its
Office articles Of agreement for their
important matches, and the paper is
extensively read by men fond Of these
vigorous sports. Much space is
given to the two great intellectual
games, chess and checkers, aud on
these it speaks with authority. The
dramatic department bears the stamp
Of scholarship and originality. The
amount Of fresh and original matter
published by the 7u,J, Field and
Farm is astonishing, and it is graft
flying to learn that the circulation Of
the paper is rapidly increasing. In
ability, circulation and influence 1t
is second only to its great rival, the
London Field.

An OLD CoAT SAVED HIM.-Mr. j.
5. Allender, our enterprising miller,
thinks an old coat is some times bet
ter than new one A few days since
he was standing near shalt, which
was running at the rate OF about 100
revolutions minute, when the skirt
of his coat caught, and was immedi-
ately wound up. He was in such a
position that he could do little to
help himself, but succeeded in catch
ing hold Of the corner of sink, and,
bracing himself, tore off the entire
skirt of the coat ripping the back
seam to the collar. He escaped un-
hurt, but had the coat been new and
strong, the result might have been
disastrous. He now wears the same
garment as short jacket Keyscr
