fingers in the use of type kept us at
our table until noon. We learn how
ever from others present, that the
services were entertaining, and in
structivs. Mr.. Newell preached an
able sermon as ne ever does, from the
text III thou sayest the former days
are better than these, thou dost not
wisely" The congregation
vas large and attentive, and entered
unto the spirit of the hour.

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

Inc examinations in the academy
classes took place to-day. Those
whose daily average reached the
requisite 95 per cent and the College
students had a holiday.
The Philidorians give an omen
meeting this evening in their hall
at the University, for which occa-
sion good program has been ar.
ranged.
Miss Jennie Long went over to
Independence this afternoon where
she VIII give a reading tonight and
also one at Monmouth tomorrow
night, The people of our neighbor-
ing towns may be assured of being
well entertained, for Miss Long is
favorite of Salem and is highly
praised wherever she has read.
By some mistake it was reported
that a prize contest was to have
been held last Tuesday evening in
the university chapel. The contest
will be given next Tuesday evening,
the 17th.) In addition to the selec-
tions pronounced by the contestors,
Miss Long will render a piece, and
a few good selections of music will
be furnished. The small fee of ten
cents will be charged for admission.
All should avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear a good pro-
gram, that will not only be highly
entertaining but instructive as we'll.
J. B. Kelly, who was a student of
Willamette in 'S6 and 'S7, and was
compelled TO discontinue his studies
on account of his eyes hurting him,
has been spending few days visit
ing In the city; he left for his home
in Pleasant Home yesterday.
The Woman's college, the past
few days, has been the scene of busy
hands and cheerful hearts. The
young ladies, assisted by some of
the young men of the University,
are making extensive decorations in
the way of festoons, mottos and
wreaths, preparatory for the open
house to be given to the students,
Saturday evening. The occasion is
expected to be an enjoyable one.
Prof. Paryin, Miss Leona Willis
and Miss Halle Parrish will furnish
the music, and fine literary pro-
gramme will be carried out.
