Full announcements, weeks In ad vance, will be made through these columns of Interesting performances.

Master Abbott ia truly a wonderful lx-year-old-boy, aud ha created a sensation wherever he baa apiwared.

Th age In which we live Is distin guished, 1st., as being au ageof wonder ful Inventions and great aclentltlo dls- oovertec; 2d, as a terloua aud critical age. i The Inventive genius of man not mtwie wonuenui improvement m tne nioeiiauicw arm, wuue nis annng intellect even question in secret or the Indulto. Iu the Held of historical criticism the must sacred literatures and tho most cherished Idols of profane his tory have been tested In thenlemblo of human reason. He did not object to Investigation aud criticism, Ho bad passed through this trying ordeal him self. Hail read much that pasao cur rent in the fleld of criticism, but his faith remained Intact. His greatest proof of the divine kinship of Jesus with both God aud man was of a psy chological nature it was soul exper ience. Jesus Is both God and man Eaoe Homo ' DvU, No other thoory oould explain His wonderful Influence upon the ages; nothing else can ex- plain the cause of Hla myatlo Influence upon man to-day, SkepUolsin ha shattered Its lanoe against this shield and recoiled In dismay. The bishop olosed by exhorting his people to stand firm In Jheir faith, for God reigns and all will be well. , AHIIHKMBNTS, yx I , , .

Am getting along nicely In school, bavolotaof work now; havoa leeturo very day lasting ou hour and three- quarter. Have recitation In text book twice a week lasting . ao hour, and elo cution at five oelnck twlco a week last ing an hour. Ho you tee U wakes fellow get In to get all bt that la Ida bead. ,. .' ' ; Wo had quite a lime at too college Friday, ou fellow In our olas baa a plug hat bo wean, and the senior tried to take It awy from blin, bo bad a cans wttb which ho hit several, then bo drew a revolver and held them back with it Tbetoulor then commenoed to rush after the Junior ao wo bad to push with all our might to keep them back, hut we dually pushed them back and came out victorious, then of all tho hollowing on ever beard waa done then. They call that pushing a rush, which they have at tho commencing of every year. They were waiting for ut when we came down from tho lecture room. , , . . . . Wo have one woman In our claar. Tho first time alio came lu you should bavo beard tho tumping of f t and the clapping of hands. My hooka ao fur have oust mo 1,7(1, I do not necessarily have to buy any more book until long toward the end of the year, but there are several more I will get If I ace that I need them after a while. I like school very much ao far, aud am very much Interested In the lectures, we have a note book for taking down the lecture In, use a fouululu pen to we don't have to transcribe them, our text book study commence Monday. Both c.Hjwc were together Wednesday and I tell you It wat a large one, about about GOO acholam In the law deiart' uiKiit . Of all the hollowing I ever beard It waa that day, the seniors would yell at every Junior that come In the ruoiu, I went In with the crowd aud Uk my auat before they got set tled, so I cscaiied the yelling. You ootild of board them for a mile. One consolation, It will come our turn next year. To-day the senior got after th Juniors on the ca'iij ui and made V.tem jumti the cane as they cull It. There would be one at each end of a cane and ot here to put them over the cane head drat. I left tho campus when I heard them commence to talk about It, hut they may get mo yet School sbirted with about 1"U scholars. They are uot all together at any one, time, I would like to see them all together once. It looks quite odd tome to see the school grouuds playing, I have come U the conclusion that 1 bavo got to get lu aud study If I get through in two yearn. I find lots of young fellows that acem to know but very little. My room male left me to day, bo got to room with a dental stu dent. I was uot sorry to see him go, he was a nice young fellow but did not study very much, would go to bed about eight o'clock and snore so loud I could uot study. No doubt you will be surprised to hear thut I do not go to bed before 10 o'clock, and lake a half hour wulk every morning before break fast. I told the lady I could uot pay for the room by myself, so she Is going to let me have It for f 1 until I can And aome one that suits mo for a chum, she said I shouldn't leave. She seems to have taken a fancy to me, they bring up fruit to my room every few duy. Itccditr came In this morning. He has changed very much since he was In Monmouth. I also met a brother of Hunter Wells, of Portland, he says Miss Goodwin la In Boston taking elocution lessons. j AM KAKLY OHIIKK. Lust week Messrs. Geo. Steele and A. J.
