Among the names prominently mention
ed in connection with the cierlIship to the
Commissioners Court Were Messrs. w. G..
Bond, H. M. Fl. Yates, Giles +. Dyer, w.
B. Perry, w. |. Dawkins, j. A. Camalier
and Jo, F. Morgan. Each gentleman had
many hackers and, Of course, not few are
disappointed at the result So far as we
have heard, however, the universal opinion
Il, that in the selection Of Mr.. Morgan the
Court bestowed the appointment upon n
good democrat and obtained most COM
petent clerk and one well-qualifed to CON
duct the affairs Of the Office. We are In
formed, moreover, that the appointee is to
act In the dual capacity Of clerk and attor-
ney to the board for $500, the amount here
tofore paid for clerical services only, thus
saving the county 800. Disappointment
Is the fate of Office seekers and those of us
whose favorites are left out In the cold by
the action of the board will, we think, take
the matter philosophically and console our
selves with the reflection that Mr.. Morgan
is as good man to win as anyone else, and
remembering, that defeat for one position
is not always an nnmixed cvil, hope that
there may be better things in store for the
friend who failed.

College News.


A short time since the President of Mt
St Mary's College, diminishing, Nd, EN-;
gagged an artist from Cincinnati, to clean the
old paintings possessed by the institution
Some of these paintings were always con-
cidered masterpieces Of Art, and had been
in the possession of the college, since the
days Of the venerable founders, Dubois and
Brute, who in oil probability, brought them
from Franco at the time of the Revolution,
others were known 10 have been presented
to their Alma Mater, by grateful members
of the College Alumni.
Among the paintings recently cleaned
are found, the Burial of our Lord by Albert
Durer; St. Jerome, by Salvador Rosa.
The Annunciation painted In 1859, by
Finnaert; The Holy Family, by Kleckner
The Doubling Thomas; An Assumption
which is pronounced by competent judges
TO be the production of the famous Master
Murllo.
The result Of the artists labors In clean
ing and restoring these works OF Art is very
gratifying indeed to the college authorities.
The dust and smoke Of years has been re-
moved, and the colors brought out In all

On Thursday the students of Mt 81 Marv's
College, were highly clated by the addiiidn
of "Game Room" to the College recrea-
ton halls. Besides possessing two Billiard
Tables, this room is supplied with all the
modern parlor-games. It will therefore be
a great attraction for students during the
wintry season.
The Faculty ofthe college are determined
to leave nothing undone which may con-

tual well being ofstudents intrusted TO their
