Yesterday was indeed great gala
day The Cadet Corps showed up
to 4 marked and decided advantage,
and made everybody present pass a
pleasant time. Under the judicious
eye of Lieut.. Wilson it has won
Nreaths Of laurels and unstinted
praise. At 2 o'clock, the guards
were placed and preparations made
for artillery practice. The four guns
were placed in position near the
South end of the grounds, pointing
down the river, towards the giant
bluffs. Soon the roar oftheirRbrazen
Threats, burst loudly forth, and the
earth trembled with the recoil. Sol
idlballs and shells went humming
and shrieking through the fair, the
former to pillow burrows ia the restful
bosom Of the Monographs. the latter
TO strike and glance to the woodland,
there to explode with b sullen roar.
For fifteen minutes the cannonading
was regular and the surroundings
smoky, but novel. The large crowd,
charmed By the spectacle, surged to
and fro, "a restless sea Of humanity.
The cadets are BY 40 means unskill-
ful with the guns. They handle
them, and executed the commands,
like old veterans. At 5 O'clock the
corps was dismissed. But at 6
o'clock promptly, tile boys were at ii
again, this time to exercise ii Skin
mish drill and the regular manual.
And they did it, too. Their move
ments were like clock work and a
finer set Of soldiers never grounded
arms on the campus. This late drill
was one of the best features Of the
evening, and was Witnessed BIZ d
large crowd. AT 4 o'clockathe drill
was ended and the cadets dismissed.
~ was the last drill Of the year, and
The boys felt sorry that il brought

sWhat beautiful site for the
University remarked a prominent
visitor, who standing in the rear of
the new building, looked out on the
murky tide of the Monongahela. the
picturesque bluffs on its banks, and
Morgantovn resting close at hand.
It can also be said that the health
fitness Of the climate in this noun
tainous resort, cannot be overlooked.
1t cannot be surpassed. Sickness is
seldom known. The people treat all
strangers kindly, and manifest true
interest in the separate welfare of al
most every student enrolled at the
University. Their parlors are thrown
open to them, and while it is true
that an occasional disturbance &C
ours between the town fathers and
the University interests, yet the
students have never had Just cause
to complain Of mistreatment. The
Professors entertain them at suita-
'bleEtimes, and it can truly be said,
that the life of the West Virginia
University cadet is as pleasant in
.Morgantown, as it could possibly be
in any other place in the State. And
the students recognize this as true
They carry away with them many
happy memories, and leave warm
personal friends. The situation Of
the University is also conducive of
good habits, moral ten encies, and
close application. There is q feel
ing Of restfulness permeating the
very air, and the student, surround
ed with the best'of comforts, plods
nobly ahead. The kind Of men
turned out by the University
strong, sober, brainy thinkers-are
as straws, showing the drift of the
current. They owe much of their
success in life to the wholesome air,
genial treatment and Industrious
manners of the student life, which
they enjoyed when here at work.
With surroundings ofbeauty; strong,
earnest, nscientious professors; a
careful and progressive President; a
splendid reputation, and increasing
and manifold useful features the
success of the University is assured.
Let none throw obstacles in the
path of it's progress, bullet all strive
to push things onward and upward,
to make it the pride, as it is now the
centre of lie earning, Of the entire

DEATH OF GRANVILLE EAKLE.-ln-
formation was received here on Monday
last of the death of Mr.. Granville Eakle,
at Macon, Ga, on the 22d, in about the
S0th year of his age. Several years ago
Mr.. Eakle YVES engaged in business in this
place, with Mr.. C. G. Wheat. During
that time, although robust, healthy
looking man, he was strangely stricken by
q species of paralysis. His mind was az
feeted to degree, his physical strength
gave way. and his flesh was very much re-
duced He removed from Stanton to his
fathers, in East Augusta, and after re-
Maining there for some months, in q help
less condition, it was determined by his
wife and friends to take him South, and
Macon, the former residence of Mrs.
Eakle, was selected as the place to locate.
The change, however, did not improve his
condition. and on Sunday last his once
vigorous constitution surrendered to the
memorable demand. The remains were
brought to this place yesterday and buried
in the family burying ground near New
Hope.
Mr. Eakle was son of Mr.. Christian
EakIe. of the eastern part of the county,
and a brother of Messrs. b. T. & VIM.
Eakle, and Mrs. j. w. Splitter, of this
place.
