■Ml Lies on the Witness-Stand. " It is amazing how many pcr- ons have not the least regard for he sanctity of an oath,” said Judge llison, in charging a jury. “They ill come on a witness stknd, and oods. They do not seem to have e least appreciation of the enor- ity of the offence which they mmit. We had an illustration of at to-day. A defendant was eged to be the owner of a valise which had been found a number burglar’s tools. He went on the tness-stand, and .solemnly swore iat he knew nothing whatever ilia xrqlinA .

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES. MARRIED. The features of Christian College to which we especially invite attention, as distin&Hve of our work are as follows: C hristian M obality .—The Bible is read every day and lectures calculated to impress its morality are given, and with the Bible as a basis, the effort to impress the highest Christian morality as the guiding principle in the lives of our students. Dogmatism and Sectarianism aro carefully avoided. We ignore all religions or political divisions, and encourage great freedom of thought. aDd aim to stand on that high plane where Protestant or Catholic, Democrat or Re publican, can meet on one common level. P ractical E ducation —The great demand of the timte is for men of action. An institution of learning to meet tho needs of the people, should not only impart instruction, but alon£ with the knowledge gained, give students the power to use it to advantage for themselves and others. The idea of Christian College is, that the finest mental culture and the greatest benefit may be obtained by the study of those things that will fit young men and women to at once enter some pursuit or business, and carry it forward successfully. Instead of those branches that are simply ornamental, we prefer those that are usefill, and we invite comparison and criticism on our work. Our aim is to graduate young men and women so that they may at once enter upon the pursuits of life. • DEPARTMENTS.
