8evkkki.y FroziIx. 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. In some respects the
exhibition was the best we have ever
witnessed there. We congratulate the
young ladic3 and gentlemen connect
ed with the institution on the thorough
and complete manner in which they
acquitted themselves in the many
difficult roles assumed on the occasion.
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.
