porate the trustees was taken on motion

unnecessary voting TO dismiss. The vote

When Dutchmen 'irink no lager beer,
Aud girls get to preaching on time.
When billy goats butt frIm ther a..
And treason no longer is crime.
When hunming birds bray like an ass

When ideas grow In Republican heads,
And wool on the hydraelic ram
