NORWICH UNIVERSITY.

Our readers are aware that within a
few years this military school has been
enjoying prosperity more commenSu-
rate with its deserts than formerly.
Notwithstanding is long and honorable
record, the fact that it furnished a no
table line of officers for the War of the
Rebellion, and many other historical
events giving the University an honor
able place in educational circles, the
large accommodations had not been what
it should have been until recently. 1t
is, h refore with great pleasure we give
place to the report, below, of the work
of the past year. Next to West Point,
we belieue this school stands at the head
of the military institutions of the coun-
try. The following is the report:
Gen. T. S. Peck, Adjutant-General of
Vermont, Burlington, Vt.
Sir.-I have the honor to make the fol-
lowing report of the years work in the
military department including the an
nual encampment and June training at
Norwich University.
The years work was begun with
Thorough course of squad drills and the
setting up-two drills day. This CON
tihued six weeks and was followed by
the company drill, extended order drill,
battalion drill, bayonet drill, sabre, the
manual of arms, artillery drill, target
practice, horse exercise and ceremonies.
The, corps of cadets was in camp from
June II to June 26, inclusive. There
were regularly three drills each day,
guard mount and dress parade,
The corps was reviewed and inspected
June 10 by the inspector general, depart
ment of the East, and by the assistant
inspector general of Vermont. On June
% the corps was reviewed by the vet
Grams of the 18th Vermont infantry.
During the year there have been the
following drills: Forty calvary, II ar
tilery, 10 sabre, 10 bayonet, about ITO
infantry drills of various kinds, ID dress
parades, SO Sunday morning inspections,
and II reviews.
Iihave tried during the year to accom-
plish the TO lowing objects; To have
the corps of cadets live according to the
customs of our military service; to es-
tablsh between The officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates habits of
respect and official courtesy; to establish
cavalry drill as part of the regular
course; In all these | have had the assist
ance of the trustees aud faculty of the
University and in every case the loyal
support of the corps of cadets.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
g want,

ague, and it effected my kidneys so badly that
had to have an operation, from which resulted
blood poison, and suffered untold agonies. To
make my sufferngs more, my left leg below the
knee broke out in large blood boils, and COM
menced a scaly, itching irritation, so that at
times was almost frantic, and would scratch
until the blood would trickle down my leg. In
the summer these large boils would commence
during which time would have three or four
which were so painful that at times 1 was forced
to take to my bed. Every winter a dry itching
scaly mass would gather on my leg, which with
the boils, seemed to effect my whole system.
During all this time, period of three TO nine
months, had doctor after doctor, but they gave
me only temporary relief. This last fall COM
menced using your CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP,
and CUTICURA REsoLvENT, and now the scales

A CHEAP WORLDS FAIR EXCUR
SION

The announcement of the New York
Central of a series Of popular excursions
to the Worlds Fair will be received with
general satisfaction by the public. An

the contrary. The trains will be made
up OF baggage cars and handsome YES
tibuled day coaches and will be run

holstered and furnished with lavatories
Stops will be made for meals at conven-
lent points. The trains will leave Grand
Central Station, New York, at IL a. M,
and arrive at Chicago at p. m, next
day, affOrding delightful daylight ride
along the Hudson river, through the
Mohawk Valley and over the m, g. in
teresting portions of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Central routes. The dates for
these excursions are Saturday, July 20,
Wednesday, August 2, Tuesday, August
s, and Monday. August IA; the first and
third excursions will run via, NiaGar a
Falls, Detroit and through Southern Can
ada; the second and fourth, via Buffalo,
Cleveland and the south shore of Lake
Erie. The trains will be in charge of an
experienced Tourist Agent, who will do
everything possible to promote the com
fort and pleasure of patrons. The round
trip rate will be but one fare, and re-
turn may be made at any time within
