The first snow of. the winter run.;
on Friday last, but- as only tin i i
or two fell, it did not amount i.
much. Tho law say no buntiim

Trapping will continue and many

one turkey. Everything passed off
to the satisfaction of all.

It seems almost incredible that the
oadets at that institution would
stoop so low as to punish their com

abolish tlie institution.

whon in fact it is tho duty of our

made clear anil it may bo more in

the same wcrk on soils and leave
some fertilizing properties for tlie
