University Notes.

The University seems to have
opened very auspiciously despite the
hard times. There are quite num-
Der more students than this time
last year.
"Prex Eli'' is universally liked by
the students.
Many aud long are the express
ions of praise awarded to Prof.
Whitehill especially by the boys who
had studies in the same school year.
Contrast brings out beauty.
Prof. Reynolds has inspired the
awkward, bashful Freshies in his
Junior English class, with great awe,
while his Senior class entertain great
respect for his ability.
The University reading room has
at last been placed on proper basis.
Lieut.. Wilson has had room prop
erly furnished with the best reading
matter, which is freely open to use
everyday.
The library in its newly repaired
and enlarged room, affords far great
er advantages than ever before. In
a short time there is to be added a
large number of new books. Now,
if the librarian could have it open
oftener the library would then per-
form the work for which it was in
tended.
The literary societies met in their
respective halls on Friday night.
The Columbians spent the evening
in volunteer performance and an ex-
perience meeting, similar to Meth
odist class meeting. Mr.. Charles,
member of the Junior class, was
elected an active member. Mr..
Frank Snider was elected Vice Presi.
dent vice Harvey Brand who is not
back.
The Parthenons passed the eve.
ming in the election of officers.
The two societies are in fine work
ing condition, and the prospect is
now, for one Of the most prosperous
years they have ever passed.

MONEY FOR TIE CENrESsIAL-Wt
urge no objections to raising large
sum of money for our centennial oc
easion, and vet we see no necessity
for it. If anybody feels like con
tributing of his means to make that
event more brilliant we don't believe
he will meet with any Encouragement
from any quarter. On the contrary
he ought to have credit for his patri.
otism and public spirit. But we are
opposed to the notion advanced by
some, that we can't have a respecta.
BILE and interesting celebration with
out spending large sum of money,
We are opposed to having this idea
acting as damper on the enthusi.
asm of our people, We would in.
vite those who hold to the money
idea to give us an inventory of the
items of expense. When and how
and for what purpose would they
spend money? We presume that
the first item named would be fire.
works. And display of fireworks
is a very good means of making
such an occasion brilliant. But il
costs more money than any commu-
nifty of this size can afford to pay
for such a purpose. You can burn
up three or four hundred dollars in
fireworks in about an hour, and not
have much of display after all
We could appropriate the same
amount Of money to other purposes
that would give more enjoyment and
be more sensible. We don't believe
in attempting fireworks unless it is
with torches and bon fires. After
the fire works, what? The only 9th.
err item of expense we have heard Of
is premium for the best brass
band. All right. We want plenty
of music. But we question whether
this is the way to get it. We be
lieve that an invitation to the neigh.
boring bands, to be entertained al
the expense of the town, would &C
complish the object better and al
less cost. The fact is that the sue.
cess of the centennial depends not
so much upon money as upon the
thought and ingenuity of the peo-
pie, and especially of the commit
tees who are entrusted with the
preparations. We can make it in.
teresting without money, and We
could not make it interesting with
money unless there is somebody to
think and devise. What we want il
a good suggestive program as q
guide, and with all due Difference tt
the committee who prepared the one
published, we say that it might be
improved, and ought to be improved
before the time for the celebration
We believe it will be. However
much the public may be interested
in the special event-the one hun.
dredth anniversary of our town
the bottom fact is that the opening
of our railroad is the leading expec
tation of that occasion. If for any
reason the opening of the road
should be delayed-hoping it may
not be-we should favor a postpone
ment of the celebration until the
two events can be celebrated at the
same time.

OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The public schools of this place
opened on Monday. Every teach
er was ready to begin the work
of the year with new energy
and the new additions to the faculty
dropped into their places with the
ease Of experienced preceptors. We
are not afraid to risk the work OF
the coming year so far as the teach
ers are concerned. Now word with
the parents as suggested by an ex-
change: at remains with the people
whether we have good school OF
not. A teacher cannot succeed well
when the people are contrarywise. u
How few people think of this, and
yet how true 1t is. Parents who en-,
courage their children in all acts OF
INSTRUMENTATION at school had bet
ter keep them at home. They will
do little or no good for themselves
and do harm for others. A teacher
can read in his pupil without diff
ficulty what sort of parents the
child has, and will always have a
high appreciation of the parent who
so trains his child as to make it APP
parent that the parent is the friend
and not the enemy of the teacher
Now that our schools are just com
mencing for the winter term let all
parents bear this in mind and OBJ
serve if the schools are not more
successful on that account.

The MoNoNGAHELA PACKETs.-A
change in the running of the Monon-

nouneed. The new packet, the
adam Jacobs" which has lately
been built at Brownsville for the
packet line, will make her first trip
next Tuesday. 1t has been tested
and found to be satisfactory in all
respects. 1t is finely finished boat
and very comfortable. The putting
on of new boat has brought about
the change in the schedule. The
Adam Jacobs and J. G. Blaine will
be the evening boats from Pittsburgh
to Geneva. The Germania will run
from Pittsburgh to Rice's Landing,
eighteen miles below Geneva, start
ing at o'clock in the morning. A
change has been made in the cap
tains. The veteran Captain M. A.
Cox, who has had charge of the
Blaine for years, will take charge OF
the Adam Jacobs. Captain Carroll
Cook, connected with the company
for many years, and popular river
man, will take charge of the Blaine.
Captain Henry b. Cook, the present
captain of the Germania, will keep
up the good reputation of his own
boat. The changes made will make
