A PLEASANT OCCASION.

On last Friday -..afternoon the three
literary societies of Allegheny Institute
held joint meeting for the purpose of
welcoming the new students. The ex-
ercises were of most interesting char
acter, consisting of music, vocal and in
strumental, by members of the mandolin
and glee clubs, short speeches and ac-
counts of last years. games, musicales
and entertainments by some of the old
students. Travers Coe, Fred Hippey
and Harry Stephenson each took part in
the programme. The meeting was a
very enthusiastic one and closed with the
school yell and three cheers for Allie
ghany. L. y. Kirk, one of Alleghany's
old students, has entered the junior class
at Hampden-Sydney College, passing
over both the freshman and sophomore
classes, and he will thereby be enabled
to graduate in two years instead of four,
which it generally requires. This speaks
well for Alleghany's training.
