of time, has been thirty.

resented are Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian, Episcopalisn, and Congrega-
tional. The college has been remem-
bered in material things by the gift of
ten boxes of apples, by the president
of the board of trustees, Gen. w. H.
Odell. A lady, whose name was not

silver cake basket.
The health Of the occupants of the
college has been remarkably good.
There has been no case of protracted
sickness and any attack of indlsposition
has been OF merely temporary duration.

proved. For time my strength was
reduced from the work Of former veal rs,

nature that constant aud faithful at
tention is required in discharging them,
