THE STKANDED COLUMBIA.
The Columbia got caught in a storm
and for a time was stranded on the
Susquehanna, near Espy, on Monday
evening. The chances to swim or
drown looked very ominous for awhile
to the frightened lady passengers
but the good sailing qualities of the
manly crew allayed all fear and in
due course of time landed the lac'ies
in their longed for haven of rest at
home. The principal participants in
this outing were Messrs. Oswald
Lockard, Sherwood and Williams,
who were accompanied by their fami
lies and a few intimate friends. Larger
boats may venture more, but little
skiffs should beware of shore.

BfCEMAL SCHOOL NEWS.
Big Classes Pass Succosilul Examinations.
The result of the examinations
which began last Saturday by the Ex
amining Committee at the Normal,
were made known on Tuesday. One
hundred and twelve Seniois, one hun
dred and sixty one regular Juniors and
fifty seven preparatory were recom
mended to the Committee by the
Faculty. The entire senior class was
passed by the Committee without a
dissenting vote. All the juniors were
passed but two.
Co. Supt. B. R. Johnston, Supt. of
Union Co., and Prof. Sterner, Prin. of
our Bloomsburg schools, were granted
State Normal Diplomas. Prin. Mark
Creasy, ot the schools of Hawley,
Wayne Co., was examined in several
branches and these were added to his
diploma of '92.
There were fifty-seven Sub-Juniors
recommended to the committee.
These are examined in but six branch
es with a view of lightening their
Junior year. A failure in this 'however
does not debar any one from being a
full Junior next year.
Of the fifty-seven, thirty tiht were
passed by the State Board. This gives
a grand total of three hundred and
nine students passed by the State
Board, and is believed to be the larg
est number ever sent out by any
Normal School, in a single year.
