The new catalogue of the State Uni.

shows a prosperous condition of that
institution. Notwithstandin the hard
times, there has been large increase
in the attendance. The total number
OF students in the Academic Department
this year reaches three hundred and
thirty four, or sixty eight more than
were entered last year. The Teac hers
Department has nearly doubled. The
Law Department has more than doub-
led. This is the first year that women
have been regularly admitted, and fifty
one have availed themselves of the op-
portunities offered them. This num-
Der will doubtless be doubled next
year. The Improvement in buildings,
apparatus, and everything, is marked.
The summer school begins July 9th and
bids fair to be largely attended.

BELLS SCHOOL. HOUSE.

Don't think it is necessary to saw
that Jack Frost has been nipping the
beautiful flowers and blooming trees,
but it might be well to say it was the
workings of him who has every thing
in his hands; it tells us there is one
above us who speaks to the winds and
they obey, this should teach us to be
ever ready for the solemn hour of death
for while we are in the bloom of youth
how easy could God speak to us and
say step down in the chilly waters of
death and leave the bloom of youth,
full OF earthly pleasure and render an
account for our manner of living. LIE
us in one accord say this was for the
best, and endeavor to live a more de.
voted life in the future. If you want
to visit good Sunday school we invite
you to come to Bells any Sunday at 8
clock. You will be made welcome
by all and hope you may be benefited
by coming. Our Superintendsnts will
meet you with pleasant face and find
a comfortable place foryou. They are
both energetic young men, and are
laboring very hard to make the school
a success, hope they may see the fruits
of their labors in the near future. MAY
they ever be at their post, and may
God give them sufficient grace to walk
in the way he would have them go,
that those dear ones in their care may
go out in the world telling the good
things they learned in SUNDAY school.
Willie Henson, of Johnson City, was
in our Sunday school Sunday; come
again Willie. Willie is a model young
man and has many friends. Miss Julia
Arnold, who has been'in this commun-
ity, has returned to her home at Lime
stone. Julia is noble young lady,
and we hope she will not wait till the
sweet (Williams) have all gone before
she is seen again. SUSIE.
