Colby College Matters.

The fall term of Colby closed. yestcr-
day, for "A vacation of two weeks The
term has been very quiet and one of the
most prosperous in the history OF the
college. There was a very large entering
class, the largest in the history of the
college. Among the entering students
have been found many unusually good
athletes, who will keep up the name
Colby has already made for herself in
college athletics.
The work on the new chemical lahora-
tory Is progressing so rapidly there is not
the slightest question but that it will be
finished in March. When finished it will
be the finest of the kind in the country.
The term has continued without a break
of any kind, save for the three DAYS re-
cess at Thanksgiving.
one of the most important changes in
the course Is that of the degree of Ph L
for the students who wish to make less
OF a study of the classics. Another i'm
portant change is in the arrangement
perfected by President Butler by wnicn
stne students are given the privilege OF
nearing leading representatives in New
England of the different DENOMINATIONS
among the churches.

An Interesting Letter.

Tae following interesting letter was
recently received by a relative of John
p. Jones of this city. who Is VITA Bat
terry C at savannah, Ga:
: Il received your letter. yesterday.
and was very glad to hear that all
were we'll think I will begin by tell
ing you about the fine Thanksgiving
dinner we got through the generosity
of the ladies Of Savannah. We had
ABOUT 10 ladies who served our lunch.
I viii write the names Of few Of
them: Mrs. j. Haslacn, who said she
was the only Yankee lady i'm the party,
Mrs p. F. Gleason. Miss Mary Glea-
son, Mrs. r. 7. Semmer, Mrs. w. G.
Hartridge. Mrs. j. sullivan and Mrs.
A. NJ. Robinson. The tables were set
in the middle of the company street
and were covered with white table
c'otis and strip of red. white and
blue bunting arranged very tastiiy
down through the center. On the sides
were a lot of pine cones. 1T was also
decorated with some very pretty
flowers.
Now comes the most important part
to the soldiers, the eatables. They
consisted of roast turkey, sweet pota-
toes. nice bread and butter. very fine
cup of coffee. and various kinds of
preserves, cakes. fruits and nuts. The
dinner was served at about 2 p. NJ.
When we had eaten genteel sufii-
cheney they told us to help ourselves
to what was left. to have for lunch
in the evening. When he got the.
tables cleared away the batteries
formed in their company streets ana
marched to the majors quarters.
There three cheers were given for the
ladies Of Savannah.
Then Major Newcomb made a shot
speech in which he expressed our
gratitude for what they had under
taken for the men of the 1st Main 2
Heavy Artillery. Then Judge Hart
ridge made few remarks which were
appreciated by all. In the evening
passes were issued to all men VINO
were not on duty. giving them pernis-
sion to be absent from camp until IL
p. NJ, so that from morning till night
things were made as pleasant as pos
| sibie for the men. We have got new
rifles and expect orders of some kind
| here and get bread with our meals.
! Our food is not as ii should be. but
| I think it is better than it was when
| we came Our sick men are improv-
| ing very fast; quite a number Will be

after he arrived. ] expect the men will
be glad to see him. We are having
some pretty cold weather now. We

are out in the evening we wear our

One merchant was obliged to kindly

that legitimate profits do not escape
the dealers in this manner. If an ex-

proXimately the same price as in 81.
