The reception rendered Pres. J. NJ.

June 7th was complete success in

gentlemen and gaily dressed, beautiful

comers by members of the board of
regents, members of the faculty. and
others, the Arion orchestra discoursino
sweet and excellent music all the while,
Refreshments were then served in an
adjoining room prepared by the skill

and 1t goes without saying that this
part of the programme was carefully
studied by all present, particularly bv
the bachelors some of whom were seen
at repeated intervals in that Dart of
the building. Politics was forgotten
for while and every body, like the
Athenians of old, spent his or her
time either in telling, or hearino
some new thing. The evening hours
quietly rolled by and it was not but at
a late period when the busy echo in
the chapel ceased and the Young and
Old, reluctantly enough directed their
steps homeward glad to have been
given the privilege to add such worthy
names to the number of their acouaint-
ances.

question, resulting in victory for the
silver men and that made the subject
of the second plank in the platform.
For quarter of century there
has never been such a rapid subsi
dence of enthusiasm as noticeable in
this convention. Efforts were made

however, to make the most of Their

The fOrgerics commenced as far back

of the forgery of powers or attorney OF

Not single white face has been seen

churches, and the employees OF the gov
