the same house. Her son also resided there
until he had some differences with the elder
Clogston and left, leaving his personal effects
behind. In tue evening Of the same day BIO
thought he would need his clothes
and returned for them. He met with
difficulty In entering his mother s
house aul in picking up his things acci-
dentany took pair OF Clogston's panta-
looms. Finding it out the next morning,
however, he returned the pants, but his
mother, Mrs. Eastman caused him to be
arrested for burglary and his trial will &C.

District Attorney Plumley said that II

JUNO S JOlllFlCATiON.



Thursday evening of last week the junior
class at the University met in the large
dining hall of the Van Ness House to dis
pose of an appetzing banquet and to con
fer upon certain members appropriate
presents in recognition of sundry traits,
which were appreciated by the class
The post-prandal exercises were opened
by Mr.. frederic Wheeler, master OF honors.
who announced that the festivities would
begin with class song, which would be
lined out in the good old way. This was
followed by the presentation of honors
Here appeared Mr.. Deavitt, who was to
officate as messenger of the gods in bring
ing on the destined honors. The first victim
was Mr. Lamb to whom had been decreed
a pair of epauettes in consideration of dis
tiuguisned military services in the L. V. Nj.
battalion, the presentist being Lyman AL
len. Both presentist aud recipient made
appropriate and witty remarks
Following the epauletl es came Ratchet,
which, indicating many ''cuts, was pre-
sented 10y Mr.. Ellis to Mr. Avery.
Then the messenger bore i'll fine, silky
moustache, upon which all eyes looked with
envy, but only one could possess it, and
that one was Mr.. Torrey, to whom Mr.
Haylord presented it as a reward of long
and patient effort, as yet unrewarded by
nature.
Next Il petticoat was produced, and Mr..
Crombie, as preseniist, consigne it to Mr..
Lvans in gallant speech. Mr.. Evans re-
| ceived it with a still more gallant eHuson,
at the committee, with tn injured air, for
presenting him with an empty p,tticoat.
A spade was now brought on, which Mr.,
Rice presented to Mr. Hazen in view of his
| Il. a. Il
| Latin roots.
Next the messenger paced in with pill
| low, which was Immediately presented tc
Mr.. Tom Hill by Mr.. Pond
This was followed by a gorgeous toy
bugle, to be presented by Mr.. Noyes to MIR.
Dyer, who accepted it with due apprecla-
| ton
n. Wheatey was then presented by Mr..
]. ID. Benedict with a pitchtork. Mr..
| Wheatley deviated somewhat from the hu-
merous strain aud paid glowing tribute tc
the farmer boys of Vermont, which drew
rounds OF hearty applau'e
But now a huge jawbone was borne alof
and nervously eyed by the assemb,age 4
was handed to n Miller Pratt, who pre-
sented it to NJ Root, in consideration Of
his fnency. Mr.. Root accepted it in a wit
ty speech 10 which grinds were freely dis
tributed.
The closing honor was a miniature ice
wagon, which Mr.. G. W. Benedict presented
to Mr. Ralph Stewart in recognition of hi
rapid style of running bases.
The "nonors" were all taken in the spirit
Of sport in which they were given, an
many irresistible stories We're told. In

A COPPER MINE
Found on the Farm of L. A. Irish of West
ford-Fifteen Per Cent Metal on the sur

ford-Fiftesn Per Cent Metal on the sur
face.
L. A. Irish OF Westford was in the city
Friday. Mr.. Irish said that A. j. Ward
OF Boston, an assayist, had recently exam
ined ledge on his farm and found that
the rock contained 10 per cent of copper
1t crops out OF the ground in several places
in distance of three-quarters of a mile on
his farm. He has completed contract
with Ward & Papineau for the erecting OF
buildings and procuring machinery to de-
velop the mine. Work will be begun as soon
as possible. The vein is only one. half mile
from the Lamoille railroad, and he expects
that the mine can be operated at profit.
If the rock is 10 per cent Of copper ON the
surf ace, the probability is that it will be
richer at a greater depth.
