tfeame and birds Of the quail and

/
If game and birds of the quail and
pheasant variety are so plentiful az
reported, / should think that some
enterprising tradesman would make
great the effort to procure supply
for the profitable disposal of to peo-
pie who will put up elegantly tor
that sort of wares. You couldn't buy
a bird in this town any more than
you could buy the court house, and
l have been told on good authority
that it is not for sale. This is fine
little town, but her citizens don't eat
fine little birds, to any considerable
extent.
If a noted character in contempor.
aneous events dies during the school
year, OF some time shortly after the
dissolution, the pupils of several
grades of the public school are re-
quired to hand in compositions, of
prescribed length, on the life, works
and character of the particular IAN
gel now" Nothing can be said
against the plan. The good it does
speaks for itself. 1t is departure
of Mr., Brands to be commended.
Anent this will tale unfold. A
few evenings ago / was engaged in
the unaccustomed but highly edify-
ing occupation of committing a GER
tain Shakesperian passage A real
bright public school boy, in the bliss
full age of becoming short pantaloons
and traditional white bread, asked
me what l was reading. My reply,
brief as dignitied, was Shakespeare"
This one word caused his mental
train to pull up at the school house,
where it stopped, and then he said:
"Oh my! hope he wont die this
year; if he does III have to write a
composition on him.
There are as many guesses, in some
quarters of town, as to what the &C.
ton of the Universit, Regents at the
December meeting will be as there
was on the late (by some lamented)
election, and they are as wild, for
the plain, unvarnished truth is that
no man knows what will be the re-
suit of the deliberations of that emf
nently respectable and equally un-
certain body. The Regents of the
University may each formulate a
plan of action, and the chances are
that there would be just as many
plans of action as there are Regents.
There probably is some tacit under
standing as to what the nature of
their business shall be. There is
some unfinished business, l have been
told. But it is results that will be
eagerly watched for, though these
can hardly be anticipated at the
present stage of the game.
If all the animosities engendered |
by the recent political conflict are
not healed there's something more
than politics behind them. A stir up
Of the angry passions ON political
matters is fierce fast, but quiets
quickly. Politics rarely part friends

to her usual pacific condition, and |
we are all in for Morgantown now.
And she will get there-some bright
day.
Speaking OF get there, leads me to
observe that the Morgantown Build

doing business at the old stand. This

Are the boys of Co 1, whose annual
diversion from the sordid cares of
civilian existence, namely the en-
campments, which, by the way are not
remembered with all the lightness Of
heart that some might imagine, keep
ing themselves in accordance with
the regulations SO far as periodical
drills are concerned? One Of the

SENATOR KENNA's condition is i'm
proving, according TO Tuesdays
daily papers. He is at his Wash
ington residence The danger of
his condition seems to be passed.
The conservatory, in the rear OF
the Experiment Station building,
which will be the botanical branch
of that institution is nearing compile
tion. Charles HI. Turner, who has
the contract for the heating appar-
atus, has his men now working on
it. The conservatory will be favor
lite place of visitation by lovers Of
flowers during the winter months,
and the fair ones hope for blossoms
rare for social and other occasions
will probably be fulfilled now
