of measles. Mrs Wilson gave a
party in her room last Wednesday
evening. to the boys and girls who
had recovered from this epidemic.
They called it the. ''measley" party.
All reported very pleasant evening.
We are sorry to uot that Messrs.

all his friends in his affection. The
Boys will be missed in College and
especially in their literary Society.

Friday evening. We were also glad
to have several of the Athenian boys

say by Jno Richie on, the "Tale OF
Snakes was interesting, but hard to
believe. Declarations by c. f.
Wilson and F. H. Hackney were
enjoyed by all. The Grafton by W.
A. E. Campbell and c. A. Davis
were worthy of praise. The ques-
ton, Resolved that the late issue Of
Bonds by the Administration was un

warmly debated. the music was good.
We only wish there had been more
of it.
