are well.
The REGISTER does itself proud in re
cording the several presents of fin
fruit received from good friends dur
ing the week. First. Mrs. Kaesema
cher brought a sample of peaches o
her raising-.he fruit temptingly hang
TO the parent branch. Then MIR. w
l.. Brown and Thos. Beard each sen
US a round dozen of fine. large peache
OF lcusious flavor. and finally, Mr.. Geo
W.. Craine, Sup'tsSt Louis Ore anl
Steel Co., presented us with a basket
OF the same fruit, tempting alike tc
the mouth and nose-for the fragrance
OF the peaches perfumed the sanctum
and gave promise of enjoyment to the
palate All these samples were grown
in the respective gardens of the donors.
The editor with pleasure records his
obligations to them one and all.
Judge Green held an adjourned term
| of circuit court here last Thursday, to
adJudIcate one of the many points in the
| famous HOuck railroad case. The rem
dering of his decision had been defer
red to await the action of the Supreme
Court, but as the recent decision of
that tribunal seems to be inadequate,
or wrapped in some legal mystification.
Judge Green once more deferred action
until the superior court is again and
more definitely heard from. If the GU
rious reader desires to get at all the
outs and. ms of the case, expressed with
legal exactitude, he must consult the
records. 1t bids fair to rival in sinuos-
ity and volume the celebrated case of
PEBBLES q. Plainstaines. But we hope
Bro. Houck will come out of it in bet
ter plight than did Poor Peter.

We were unable to attend the Eight
zenith Annual Commencement of the
College on the 10Th of June,
and were disappointed at not receiving
a report thereof. Consequently no fit
ting mention could be made of the ex-

of data. But those who attended say
