their recent annual lestion, will aires:
the attention of every able student
and alumnii", and is en'itled U tbe
earnest consnleta'.ion of the friends
and pairoosof the university through
out the 8 a e. It comes from an old
student, lung eoouiih separated from
the icflae nces cf. a student's life, to do
impartial jufctice to bis old profeisors,
an i to fully appreciate the many and
perplexing difficulties and the grave,
ever txittioa teiponsibilitiea of tbeir
po itions. He evidently feels tr bo
declaies tbat the trustees have com
mitted a great, inexcumble, lulnom
mistake seemingly withoat Buflicient
cause that the university will seri
omly sufler from the less of , the five
. ableit aod mort experienced of ita
prolcssois, and he pleads for their
reinttatement wilh great force and
earnestness, springing from a personal
knowledge of an efficient and faithful
dischatge of all their duties during
the lour years of his collrge life.
Indeed, what be claims for each and
11 of their eminent ptofetsOrs would
be cheerfully conceded by every wof-

their hearts 'swell' "with becoming

when the members of the society paid
out of tbeir own pouke's every cettoi

other was the eivici of zros for every

We kect eilence in neace and for peace,
We submitted to all our superiors. We
did cot charge these things on
the gentlemen whom tbe trustees
have removed, and we complained
nubliclv of no ooe in partic

have a liaht to petition tbe trus'ees
whenever they please and tbe trustees
have a right to do as they please In
thema'tur. The s udenti have been
with thsir inetructors every day, many
of them for three, four and five yeais

toward these Instructors, and I have
caid. and still sav. tbat tboir com'
msnda'ion is wortu tan times as much
ss tbat of tboae outsiders who have
never been ttudenti and know nothing
of the matter. I regret very mu h
tbat the people find fault with the
tmstees. An abler and better body of
men could not be found in tbe S.ate.
At their head ih Gov. Lowry. Among
them are tbe Hon. H. M Sullivan, the
Hon. O. B Howrv. Juuae It. A. Hill

the Hon. H. L. Muldrow, Gen. Yates

others, whoss purity, faithfulnt si and

their ability makes himself ridiculous
These men cannot be frightened at a

will do jus ice to all ; fiey will put in

without any re card to wbat thy thin

or any other quiras of theological jr

heaid many rumors here abcut

do net care a straw lor tnesa empty
rumors of th street. If there ara on
fifty students at our tchool next yoai
on account of these unkind expreS'

ity if not quantity.
I never knew more warm benrte

regret toat I rememoerinai i biu coju

Greeley, the largtst stockholder of
the P.ovident Savings Bank, nhich
failed yesterday, mak. s tbe following
Btemtnt as to now mat even as
rouuht about : "When the Board of
Directors counted tbe cashier's reserve
fund, two weeks ai;o, preparatory to
derlring their dividend, ibey found
$40,000 in the bank vault. The night
atchman informed me last evening
that Mr. Thomson entered the bank
builcing on Sa urday evening at about
10;30 o'clock, and it wae tnen un
doubtedly tbat the f ashier jalted $15 -000
of the fund in bis pockets, end the
n ate t iurpr.se to me is that lie aid
not appropriate toe rett of it. ine
fint discovery of this shortage was
made last Friday by me, and ic cime
about like this: Mr. Strain, the acting
nreaident of tho bank, on that cay
came to my place of business and in
formed me tnat tne aireciors nau just,
loaned Thomson $8500 on 100 shares
of the Crystal Plats Glass Company's
stock, wnich he hsd deposited as a
collateral. Now I am a direc'or of
that corporation, and bed assisted in
tbe disbursement oi dividends, anu i
was in a position to know tbat Tbom-
eon did not bo d 100 shares cf stock.

plained that th9 ctber ninety-nine
shares had been transferred to turn
but not yet delivered. He sml il trie
board wished it he would return tbe
nmount of the loan on Monday. When
he did not show up Monday my lears
received a eubstii-tiai actnowioag-
ment of his crookedness, i wer.t to
tbe bank and by means of amiiro
rcope detecied very plainly that the
cerutita e had been raissa irom one
share to 100 shares, and that tbe date
had alto bsen altered. A lurtber ex
