Normal Notes.
Reunion Saturday eve.

Reunion Saturday eve.
About one dozen new students this
week.
The new exercise in Grammar will
soon be out and any one wishing copy
can get it by writing our president.
Prof. Wright tells us that two young
people from the city are to begin doing
work in elocution in couple of weeks.
The girls tell us, =" We girls wish leap
year would come every other year in
stead of only once In four ?" What's
the matter with the fair sex now?
Rev. Briggs class in vocalization
meets at $50 in the morning and from
the noise 1t makes we certainly can
assure our readers it is doing good
work.
The political economy class, that
meets in the eve just after supper,
reports, though few in numbers the
members are doing good work and
would be pleased to see any visitors who
are interested in this work.
The class in Zoology spends two les
sons each week in experiments. Yes
terday they were looking at particle
of blood and some members report see
ing things unthought Of before. The
new instrument multiplies 1000 diam
eters.
Prof. Wright was away last Satur-
day. His classes were taught by the
other teachers. Some of the students
did not understand where he went and
reported that he had gone to get mar
ried. That is mistake, as the Prof.
informed us that he is still single boy.

There is one fire hydrant which the
city is paying $50 year for the use Of
that has never been placed, and lies
idly in a store room in the city.
Councilman Cornell and others of our
city officials have suggested that this
hytlrant be located in the center of
the park, and sufficient piping laid
from it to the two ends of the park to
enable the park to be properly watered.
There is no use trying to get blue
grass sod started there until some
provision is made to water it, and we
believe the plan suggested is an excel
lent one, and one that should be acted
upon by the council. It has also been
suggested that one of the drinking
fountains, which is now located where
it is of NO earthly use, be also placed
in the park where it would be both
useful and ornamental.
