This witness also testified that he followed the gang through their entire route, aud noted every place at which they voted. Mr. Allred M.

To sum np the work of the day, Oils gang of ten Democratic ''repeaters'" oust altogether 150 rote during the course of the day, jive of the-m voting twenty limes each, and the remaining jive ten times each.

Annual Kennlon or Ihfl PIlldellUlf Alumni of th Institution. Of con rue, as everybody knows, and everybody acknowledges, the most pleasant of memories are those connected with our youthful life, and as early years are generally passed in oon nlng lessons at the school desk, those same pleasant memories inevitably twine them selves aronnd our teachers and fellow pupils. As boys we cursed the "college bell;" It had an exasperating clang as It sounded through our college rooms; as tueni we venerate it, aud deem its tones, heard but faintly through the avenue of years, mournfully sweet and beauti ful. No graduate ever forgets his Alma Mater. Hecherlshes the most lively memories of her classic halls, and delights to encounter those who were stndeuts when he himself was a stu dent. Krery colloge has its 'Hoolety Of the Alnronl," which generally holds Its annual meeting beneath the shadows of her walls: some have, in addiilm to the one general society, a number of brunch soclelies the mem bers ol which assemble auuuallyln the places where organized. The ''Society of the Alumni of Yale College" has one of these branches, which hold mi annualsnsslon in this city. It Is composed of graduates not only resident within the city limits, but in our neighboring couutlos, and in the Ktat.es of New Jersey and Delaware. It celebrated a r union last evening, at Augustine's, No. 110.5 Walnut street. The parlors were crowded. Borne Reventy gentlemen, members of the Asfoclation, sat down to the feast.

His Honor, Judge Strong, was cou-du-tf-dto the head of the table, and then the invited gi-ests, together with themembersor the association, took their places. Dr. March asked the blessing. Following this, a thing needless to suy, everybody "tell to," and man aged to get themselves outside of a deal of victuals in a marvellously brief lime. The bill oi tare, which bore this motto, "Frame your mind to mirth and merriment, which bars a thousand bnrnis and lengthens life," was long and well selected. Kxectlyat 10 o'clock the Chairman pntan end to the feasting by rnpptng the Association to order.

President Woolcy responded to this In the hppplest manner. He referred to his youthtnl experiences In onr city of fraternal love, and made many hnraorous applications of his ex perience whtn entering upon his student's career. In speaking ol Yaio, he felt assured that many ol bis younger friends who sur rounded him could tell more to the point the transactions which had recently taken place In the old college. His remarks were received with applause. 'Jbetecond sentiment, "The Faculty of Yale," was responded to by iToiessors Fisher and Packard, cf that insil utlon.
