On Tuesday last two men were ob.-ervod making their way towards the depot, one of the men giving signs of extreme "fatigue," and causing his companion much trouble and vexation in his re fusal, either through stubbornness or "fatigue,' to proceed in a direct line far their destination. After great exertion the fatigued man was dragged arid conxed to a point a few fi-et be yond the late ex-Mayor Stanard's resi dence, where be seemed to let go all bolts, reeled from the walk and fell his full length in the snow, where his companion, seeming to abandon all hope of getting him further, left him, and proceeded on his way. Here the poor fellow lay full two hours in the bitter cold, when parties passing, see ing the plight the poor fellow was in, ana knowing that ne would "pass in his checks' if allowed to to main there much longer, by dint of great labor succeeded in getting him to the depot, asid eventually in thawing him out. We learn that he is a section boss on the O. &C. Bail road, hut did not get his name. It is reported that the man has since died, the effects of exposure.. The Sigma Piu Socikty. This ancient and honorable society, gave an exhibition at Albany College on Friday evening of last week, to a t rowded house.

We also congratulate President War ren and assistants on having such pupiJs. Several of the performers, specially among the ladies, gave evi dence ot the possession of more than ordinary talent as delineators of cliar acter, and we would like to make special mention of them, but as no programmes tvere printed giving the names of those taking the principal characters, we are deljarred that ple:u ure. Let us have another :it the end of next quarter. A Tale of a Bali. Koom. "Look liere stranger, that's my wife you're d.uicinj; with." Officers Elected. On last Wed nesday evening.
