say about Tennessee:

saying that he knew perfectly well
what was going on in Tennessee po-

Seventeen Inches of Snow.

That is what it was, according to
Prof. Lyons record at the Univer-
sity. He reports the first snow fall
on Tuesday, the 15h, at three inches;
the second fall on Wednesday, the
18th, at thirteen inches, and on
Thursday night, the 18th, one inch
total severtee inches of snow this
week, the heaviest snow fall ever
known in this country after the mid
die of March. All agree that the
snow is great blessing to the wheat
crop, and will greatly advance the
fertility of all cultivating land.

Something Interesting About the Found
ing of This Excellent Institution OF
Learning at Clarksvilie.

About the year 1850 the Masonic
fraternity of Tennessee established
an institution at GAINESVILLE known
AS the Masonic University OF TenneS-
see. AS reminder of this origin
there is still to be seen an upllited
arm carved in stone, upon the 'front.'
of one of the buildings. This instl-
tuition was conducted for five years
under the presidency of Profs. w. I.
Hopkins, T. M. Newell, w, A.
Forbes and w. M. Stewart. 1t was
then purchased by the Synod OF
Nashville, and named
STEWART COLLEGE
in honor of the Prof. Stewart above
mentioned, who also served
years several as president OF
the new institution and then
filed the chair OF natural
sciences. During the war the schoo
was closed and the libraries, cabinets
and apparatus were lost. A few
wears later the buildings were re fur
nished and the institution re-organlz
ed under the presidency of Rev. j.. 3
Shearer, d. ID , LID.
In 1875 several Synods united t
, found the Southwestern Presbyterla
University, and OF the various bid

: terprise, the directors selected that
;. the trustees of Stewart College as tn
