needs, as a town. is more dwelling
houses. More than few families. for
want of comfortable dwellings suitably

comforture. This should not be and
we pray those of our citizens who are
able, who have both land and money,
to build more houses comfortable
homes commensurate with every pres
ent need and probable future require

CAPLE & HALL.
A well Selected General Stock.

A hardware store of to-day, is al
most a counterpart of the "Patent
Office" at Washington, for in it can
be found the largest line of PRODUCT
ons of inventive ingenuity and skill
full mechanism of any business house
in the community.
The great advancement made in
hardware goode and stoves, during
the past quarter of century Is
wonderful.
This thought will impress any
thoughtful person who will take the
trouble to look through the immense
stock of Caple & Hall, in the Church
block, Alma. In March l6SS Capie
& Hall bought the hardware stock
of Archard 81 Son and at once
gave evidence that they possessed
the requisite energy, push and enter
prise coupled with that practical ex-
perience and knowledge of the bust
ness that will ever insure success.
In the extensive stock of goods
handled is
HEAVY AND SHELF HARDWARE,
of all kinds, mechanics tools, the
most celebrated cutlery, cross-cut and
circular saws, axes and indeed every
thing else that naturally comes un-
der this caption. These goods come
from noted manufactures. IN
BUILDERS HARDWARE
there is every thing of this class used
in the construction of a house, rang
ing from the ordinary to the more
expensive bronze, door and window
trimmings etc, together with sash
doors, blinds, building paper, glass
putty, steel wire and iron nails etc
BLACKsMITHs GOODS,
Here is to be found horse shoes, nail,
rasps, files, clips, bolts, bar iron and
steel and in
FARMERS HARDWARE
several kinds of barn door hanger,
and other goods, farm bells, bari
wire, saws, axes, spades and shoyels
hoes, forks and other steel goods

from three to four hours. n freshman
examination in Algebra was announced
to continue, from half past five n. m.
to twelve noon. And the questions in
these various branches, went over the
whole subject, with an examining COM
mittee to mark each student. What
would the college student, of to day,
who groanS over three examinations at
the close of term do, if to the three
were added 10, and the two or three
days of Our present system extended to
II or ID. Another thing to be noted
about the old system, is that the marks
were relatively as high in all these
branches as they are now III the three
or four which form the subject of
| term examination. a Sophomore was
prepared on al subjects of his Fresh
man year. and his marks were often as
| high, in those studies as in the topics of
the term just passed while senior was
not supposed to have forgotten all
about his junior Latin when he had
! just finished his senior metaphysics
In order to be admitted to the phi
| Beta Kappa" which is the oldest and
only intercollegiate society in the L. 5.
to which high scholarship is the only
fest for admission, student must
st; md among the highest third of the
elias s, the studies of the whole four
wears being taken into the account. 1t
NAV be imagined that there was anxiety
and int crest in hearing the final reports
of standing which caused one to draw
sigh OF relief when all was over.

The New England supper given atthe

evening by the ladies, for the benefit of

funds. The net proceeds were over $50
The room had been prettily trimmed for
the occasion and tables were set as thick
as they could be placed. But the crowd
proved larger than had been expected
and even these ample accommodations
did not suffice. Everybody was good
natured, though, and those who couldn't
get seats seats at the first tables cheer
fully waited till they were set over. The
eatables, consisting of baked beans, brown
bread, cider apple-sauce, doughnuts and
pumpkin pies after the ancient fashion,
and pies, cake, etc., of modern structure
were provided in abundance. The ladies
who waited upon the tables were for the

was frequently and loudly applauded

might be said descriptive of the old dres-
ses and other features of the affair
which was, all in all, one of the most de-
lightful of recent years.
