UNuvERsITv ITEMS.
By ouR SPECIAL conRrsroxpENr.

Lieut. Wilson read a very inter-
esting and instructive paper to the
cadets few days ago, subject, An
cient and Modern Artillery He fol-
lowed the improvement in artillery
from the catapult of the Romans to
the most improved modern cannon,
and give illustrations of the differ
ent pieces by black board drawings.
He promises another paper on the
Suez canal, soon.
Prof. White last week gave his
class in Geology magic lantern views
of many objects interesting to the
student of Geology. Some of these
were views of geysers in Yellowstone
Park, Yosemite falls, Fingars cave
and the Garden of the Gods in Col
orado.
The professor of Modern Language
was unable to meet his classes last
Saturday again. The boys met, sor-
rowfully adjourned and took an ad-
vance lesson.
There is now a very large attend
ance at chapel for reasons we'll known
to all the students.
Mr.. Eakin an old student was in
town last week. We are always glad
to see his smiling countenance. He
is attending court. We think he was
achin' to come anyhow. Mr.. Lazzell,
an alumnus of the University, now of
the legal fraternity is also in town
attending court.
The first Junior performance of the
year, as was expected, came off last
Friday night at 7:30. There was a
tolerably large and very appreciative
audience present.
Our correspondents account of
the Junior performance is omitted
here for the reason that it had pre-
viously been reported for the New
DOMINION.
THINGS FUNNY TO SEE;
The medical student at the Junior
performance with his little lady.
The interest manifested by stu
dents in chapel attendance.
The tardy gait and bruised face of
the rink-going student, especially his
blank countenance in the recitation
room,

RAILROAD NoTEs.-We learn that
the contract for the iron work Of the
F. M. q P. bridge that will span the
river near Fairmont has been let,
and that the work is to DO COM
menced within sixty days from date
of contract. That will give the
bridge company until about April

President Garrett, of the B. & o.
Railroad, was in Pittsburg last week
looking after site for the new
depot to be built near the mouth of
Smithfield ST., on the wharf, and in
conversation with a gentleman of
that city said that the work on the
short line across by Bentleysville
and Coal Center would begin as soon
as the weather permitted.
A gentleman who ought to know
tells US that he has information that
leads him TO believe that the F. M.
q z. will be completed to Uniontown
by the close of the next summer.
We trust his information may be
correct.

why Don't More People Take
County Papers:



Why don't the people patronize the
journals of the town?
You surely aim to build them up and
never tear them down.
What would our town and county be
without the printers ink?
Our county neighbors, how they'd
scott at such missing link.
While some there are who never fail
to have their names put down,
Who love to read the county news
and locals of the town;
Yet some there are who close their
doors against the carrier boy,
And even shut the papers out that
fill their homes with joy.
Without the papers no one knows the
merchants of the town,
Nor what physician to call in when
sickness gets them down;
Nor who was married recently, nor
who with foul intent,
Did cut or bruise a brothers head,
or who did such prevent;
Or who has died, we used to know,
and left the world behind,
Which teaches us that we must die;
brings duty to the mind.
o well, says one they charge too
high, l can't so much afford,
With skating Kinks and local squibs
never will be bored,
just think, the Post two dollars
want! the New DoMINIoN's claim
Although one-half a dollar less, they
ought to have the same.
This minor part, | can't dispute; ]
will not ask it less,
For it is worth fifty cents to see
that new steam press.
While Morgan runs by slight of hand,
j. E. Fleming runs by steam,
And when you hitch the papers up,
they make newsy team.
So, if take one county sheet, I'll
take the other too,
! never will be partial sure in any
thing l do,
While New DOMINION signifies land
with boundary lines,
The gate will hang upon the Post
that enters its confines.

OPENING OF THE RINK-A GAY
THRoNG AND LIVELY TINE AS pre-
viously announced the Morgantown
skating rink was formally opened TO
the public on Thursday evening last.
A company of several hundred per.
sons gathered at an early hour and
the experts from Uniontown took the
floor keeping step to the strains of
merry music made by the cornet
band. Two hundred invitations had
been sent out by the proprietors,
many of them including whole fami-
lies, very few of which failed to bring
from two to half dozen persons.
The graceful movements of the ex-
perienced skaters were wonder to
the uninitiated. who were anxious to
test the strength and density of the
fioor-some of them did and found it
pretty solid. The company was led
and enlivened by the following ladies
and gentlemen from Uniontown: Mr.
and Mrs. c. H. Beall, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. T.. Kramer, Misses Katie Bowers,
Lucy Claybau2h, Main Crawford,
Lily Owens and Annie Tito, and
Mcssrs. John Hickman, Charley Har
rah, Will Bowers and Albert Collier.
Everyone present was pleased with
the first evening, many Of whom have
since learned to skate and are almost
daily patrons of the rink. 1t has
been enjoying good run continu
ously since the opening with good
prospects for an increase. The pro-
prietors make an announcement of
hours, tsrms &c. in another colum.

WHEN the B. & 0. makes a reduc-
ed rate, less for the inauguration in
many instances than one fare for the
round trip, it throws open its entire
line with every train included in its
schedule to its patrons, not as on
some other lines, debarring passen-
gers from fast trains, and exacting
not only full, but double fares. In

it may be almost said that they are

ton contained the distinguished per-
sonfof Hon. Dan. w. Voorhees,, of
Indiana, and several other prominent
gentlemen. The car was veritable
palace, being trimmed in sky-blue silk
plush velvet. 1t was laid off in

STARTS Orr WITH PRETTY FAIR
PRosPECTs.-Last week q new firm
took charge of the Weston Haaokeye.
In summing up the prospects the new
men who evidently are experienced
give this summary: By next week or
week after we expect to be in first
rate working order. We propose to
make many new additions to our al
ready excellent assortment of type,
and add number Of the latest i'm
provcments for the prompt execution
Of job work. Besides this, MIR. T. J..
Blair has kindly furnished us an ed
itorial desk, Mr. j. M. Dakan helped
along by furnishing a coal box; we
have an eye on good sized lead pen
Gil stump which we think we can cap
ture in time, and by watching our
chance we think we can secure pen
Gil tablet from Finster while he is
out; we also know where there is a
broken-backed chair exposed to the
wintry air which we will take charge
of and bring in to the warm fire if
the nights stay dark, so that our
friends may have a comfortable seat
when they visit us. So taking all
things into consideration, this paper
starts off with very fair prospects.

OVER THE HLL-A MARROW Els
cAPE.-On Friday last Mr.. Joseph
Reiner met with rather thrilling
accident and very narrow escape
from death. While coming to town
with load of coal, on the old road
beyond the University, at particu-
lauy dangerous place above DR.. Nor
ris' lot, his wagon slipped from the
road on the smoothe ice incline like
rifle ball, went through the fence
as though it were a paper wall, and
down to the brink Of bluff overlook
ing the Falling run, carrying horses
and driver with it. Fortunately the
rear of the wagon was turned to one
side and locking it. which with the
weight of the horses stopped it. A
few feet further would have thrown
them into the run, and dashed them
to pieces on the rocks. Although
thrown from their feet and dragged
over the ice and rough ground dis
lance of probably Is feet in a twink
ling, neither Of the horses was seri-
ously hurt, as strange as it may SEEM
Mr.. Reiner thought of trying to
jump from the wagon, but it seems
to have been all done so quickly that
he had not time to think. Mr.. Rein
er regards ii as a miraculous escape.

THE MAcKEY MILL IMPROVEMENT
ROLLS TO BE UsED.-We learn from
Mr.. Jerry Joseph, the popular pro-
prietor Of the Decker's creek mills,
that they are going to create another
revolution in the already extensive
milling business Of this place. The
contract has been signed with one Of
the largest manufacturers Of rolls
and other milling machinery in the
country, to put in the mill the com
ing spring an entire new set of grind
ing, boiling, crushing and other ma
chinery. The mill is now an extern
sive one, well equipped with every
thing thought few years ago to be
essential to the very best work. In
order to keep abreast of the times or
a little ahead, Dir. Maclley and Mr..
Joseph will discard the old, and re-
place it with rolls and all the neces
sary trimmings" to make it the best
establishment of the kind this side
of Wheeling. The Improvements we
learn are to cost between $1,000 and
$4,000. Success to their enterprise.
