Why is it that the new and fashionable
cow disease, tuberculosis. only attack high
blooded stock and the highest priced ami
mails in fancy herds? Why can't an every
day barn yard COW without any ancestors
imported from England have the disease?
Where did it come from and why was II
never heard of before? And why is it
necessary to jab something into a COW to
produce a raging fever to find Ort If she is
sick There is certainly something peculiar
ly remarkable and funny about the whole
buSlnt s..

During the administration of that |
veteran Methodist Oliver Rodgers, over the |
affairs at the Seminary boarding house at
Newbury village, early in the fifties, a
handful of his patrons withdrew, and as |
matter of economy undertook self boarding |
AS a punishment for this rash act, the
steward forbade them the association of
the young lady members of his numerous

The petition of the Benevolent Bachelors |
Humbly ShOweth that when in the course |
of human events, it becomes necessary for |
man to throw himself upon the mercy of
his brother man, it is just and reasonable |
that he should show mercy in return; and |
as it has become necessary fOrfifteen young |
gentlemen to sever the bonds which bound |

often heard of these graceful buds of the
wilderness, yet the half was not told. We
do not know whether it is owing to any de-
feet in our visionary organs or whether it
is owing to some other natural cause: but
upon our hOnors as men, we do sOlemnly |
say that some of these mountain NymphS
are beautiful, aye, lovely-it isn't their
faut,-they can't help being pretty,-the
outdoor exercise they take and the sensible
style of dressing they have, make the lean
meat shine through their cheeks which
gives them healthy appearance and they
are as beautiful and comedy as Tersas
feet with shoes on. Such are the scenes

from its career DER spread with a garland

will in consideration of the great and grow
ing interest you manifest in the welfare of
this association, revoke your decision so
hastily made, and Tashly enforced, and
that we may again enjoy all and several
the rights and immuniteS belonging to
good and faithful students, and that we

may be deemed proper by the Professor:
