UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
BY oeR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

Since the beginning of the fine
spring weather the corps is drilling
in earnest OF course there are fire.
quent cases Of sickness among the
cadets and then they have to stay
away from drill however much they
dislike TO do so. This sickness is
of a peculiar kind. Its most strik
ing popularity is the suddenness of
the attack and the quick recovery.
A cadet may be seen on the street
an hour before drill apparently in
excellent health, yetitis often the case
that he is stricken within an hour
and is unable to appear on the drill
ground at all.
Prof White expects to start on the
yearly geological tour with the Sen
ior Class about May 18th. Not all
the Seniors are going, but those who
are going are providing themselves
with corduroy uniform, brigand
hats, and leggins, DC, as protection
against snakes and other wild ami
mails likely to be encountered.
AS the Seniors in former years have,
when on this expedition been mis-
taken for Jesse James and his band,
and several times saved from "durance
vile" by the reassuring and unsus-
picious appearance of the Professor
in charge, we would advise the Sen
ior class to be exceptionally meek,
and to be careful about beating their
way except when they can do so very
readily.
A student was heard to remark to
fellow student that he believed that
several of the boys had the pink EYE.
whereupon student No. assured

disease from an extensive use of
''ponies.'
The date of the Columbian ami

The literary societies are jubilant
over the splendid success of their
first lecture. Prof. w. P. Wiley was
the first lecturer who responded to the
invitation of the societies. The lee
ture was delivered last Thursday
night in Chapel Hall before large
and appreciative audience. The sub
ject was "The Politics of the Cos
pels." could not at all do the lee
ture justice if l were to attempt to
give an account of it. Suffice it to
say that the societies were delighted
and the audience we'll entertained
indeed.
The committee announces that it
will make arrangements for another
lecture soon.
The Morgantown band discoursed
music for the lecture last Thursday
evening.

Arrangements are making for some
improvements at the University. 1t

of the adjoining room. There is soon
to be an addition to the number of
books to the amount of about one
thousand dollars.

The GREAT PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
ROAD TO THE WEsT.-Before making
their arrangements we would advise
all those who contemplate a trip to
any of the Western States or Terri
tories to consult the many advan-
tages offered by the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Its train service is quick
and attentive, and its general system
(including switch and block signals
and all other modern appliances) the
most perfect of any railroad in the
world. Speed, comfort and general
safety are nowhere else SO surely
found, and trip over its line is more
akin to the. pleasures of a holiday
than the irksome journey of the ordi-
nary railroad ride Any of its nu-
merous agents will cheerfully furnish
such information as may be desired,
and all inquiries addressed to Mr.. I.
E. Watt, their Western Passenger
Agent, at Pittsburgh, ITO Fifth Av-
enue, will receive prompt and full re-
ply.

READ AND REFLECT-HowT TO BUILD
UP HOME INDUsTRIEs-The Weston
World refers to the subject of
sustaining home industries in
the following unanswerable manner.
The article is just as applicable to
Morgantown as to Weston. Read it:
1--WE can get our printing done much
cheaper in the city than you can do
the work." was the remark of a very
prominent business man a few days
since. Certainly you can, if you
don't count expressage, postage and
delay. But did the thought ever
strike you that others could buy
their groceries cheaper in the city
than they can Of their home mer-
chants? Do these economical bust
ness men ever consider what would
be the result of their business if the
newspapers of Morgantown would
look about among their friends and
organize system of sending away
to the city for every bill of calicoes,
or boots and shoes and other mer-
chandise they might need2 They
could buy the goods cheaper than
they could in Morgantown, and why
not do it? The newspapers advo-
cate no such measures. They know
that one business is dependent on
the other; that the patronizing of
home industries will build up the en-.
tire business of the community; and
that while it might cost apparently
more at the time, yet it is more con-
ducive in the end to both the indi-
vidual and general good to buy your
goods Of your home merchants, en-
ploy your home carpenters or masons,
go to your home blacksmiths, ina
chinists, cabinet makers, shoema-
kers, founders, &C., and take your
printing to your home printers
When your merchants can't furnish
what you want it is all right to send
away; when the printer is not pre-
pared to do the work needed send
away. But there is very little work
needed in Mergantown but what
can be printed just as we'll here al
in the city, and in comparison Il
everything else secured at home al
just as reasonable prices.

The BoRoUGH EXTENSION. a
late meeting of the council it was re-
solved to lay before the people a
proposition to extend the borough
limits. The resolution giving the
lines will be found in another col
umn. We hope our people will read
it carefully, figure up the advanta-
ges and disadvantages, and find that
the former predominant. If so they
can give the enterprise their support
and their votes. The people living
in the territory proposed to be an
nexed will derive the same benefit
from the railroad, water works and
gas works that those do who live in
the present borough. 1t seems to us
it would be more to our credit to in
clude in the censes reports and direc-
tories all our people, than to have
Morgantown put down at little
over 600. We would have been glad
had the proposition included Dur
hannah. That pleasant and busy
little town would certainly have been
a very desirable acquisition. Let
the matter be thoroughly discussed
by our people and decided en- its
merits, and we believe the extension
will be made.

Our Spring and Summer stock has
all arrived and mist be sold. We
can't wait for sunshine and roses.
We bought the goods to sell this
spring, and we are going to do it,
let the weather be what it may. 9th
er dealers may sit and sigh for more
seasonable weather, but that's not
the kind we are. If the weather
doesn't come to suit us we make the
prices suit the weather. In short,
what we mean to say is if there is
no great demand for spring goods at
usual prices, we will make the prices
unusual, and so create demand.
Every counter, table and shelf in our
establishment is loaded down with
new and nobby goods bought this
spring, and we intend TO sell them
this spring. Sell them we must, and
sell them we will. 1t is true we will
not realize the same profits that we
would, had winter been less forward
and spring less retiring, but that's
no matter, they must 60. Hirsch-

SOMETHING ABOUT THE w EATHER.-
Mr.. Thomas II. Fem, of Uniontown,

the same month, snow on the 2Sth
