"Who shall say that his departure was
untimely ? Has he not passed, a graduate,

the ''Advancement of Civilization," and
expressed some lino ideas in eloquent lan

other information of interest to the sttt

follows: three Seniors; eight Sophomores;
seventeen Freshman; fifteen University
Students; nineteen in the second year of
the Latin School; and thirty-eight in the

students over the number of last year in
the regular college classes, and a small
decrease in the attendance of the Latin
School. Those desiring information

Chancellor for a Catalogue.

That Scene in the Adei.phian.
There appeared in a recent number of tho
daily Journal an article purporting to
give a detailed account of the discussion
of tho question: The veto of tho curren-
cy bill. In that article appeared the
names, or rather tho initials I), and R.,
supposed to represent the names of certain
individuals. Supposing it would be
proper to notice some of the assertions
made, we would assume the honor of put
ting Mr. R's name in print, this time giv
ing tho public the Le lefit of his full name.
Romulus, for such ho was, claims to be
a descendant of the world-renowned in

was being destroyed by tho devouring ele

Well, this individual, Romulus, prides
himself considerably on his uncostly, and
the reason of this is evident; being insig
niflcant himself ho of course hungers for
notoriety, and obtains it by announcing
himself as the fort) -ninth cousin of the
illustrious Gen. Grant, one of the fathers
of his country. "Wo fondly hope Mr.
Romulus will live to a green old ago, and
green it will doubtless be, if it corres
ponds with his whole previous life.

During the latter part of last week, at a
special meeting of the faculty, three
sophomores and three freshmen wore
"suspended for hazing." This indefinite
charge included smoking out and pump
ing, but probably not rushing. The news
did not reach the public until Saturday
evening, when it spread rapidly through
the city. On Monday morning tho order
in chapel was exceedingly bad ; in the af.

about one hundred and fifty students from 1
