great pleasure.

Evcrist. A foundation is being built and the
house will be moved back on it and Il building

gally drunk. Two young men cane back at
midnight. One who is Of Il uuarrelsome dis
position began to talk fight Not meeting
with II favorable response he struck his com
panion in the face, who becoming in .ensrd
gave the fellow II good beating. Finding

DR.. Eveland surprised some and delighted
all 10y giving them an address, II beautiful
tribute to the memory OF General L. S. Grant.

horses to the conquered South. When some
demurred, he said: i will keep my word
if it takes the whole United States army to
help me- At the close he was applauded to
the echo. No anniversary worthy of note
passes unnoticed in this Institute. 1t is the
sincere regret of great many that they are
debarred from being present ut these eXer-
cises 1t is not the wish of the faculty, bur
the school is SO large there is rot room for
the public.
