AT the urgent request of DR..

20 this only out of courtesy to him,
and becaus- they felt he YVES con-
WINGED that duty called him to

with no dissenting voice, the cen
gregation would have declined to
unite with him, and, on the con-
trary, would have urged Presby.
terry to refuge to dissolve the re.
lation.
"The resolutions Passed last
Sunday, and appearing in the pub
lie prints, and which were read be.
fore the Presbytery this afternoon,
show with what reluctance ard
what deep pain and keen sense Of |

was carried along over the heads
of the contestants. The halves
were ID and 10 minutes length.
The victory was Won in the first
helf, the Sophomores showing tie
ball over their Opponents goal,
thereby scoring 40 points.
