Two of the Preps, have broken out in nnew pacce, the following is the result: "Talk about jour .Mulligan (Suardn, anil of the Skldmore, too, They surely can't compare with in, who wear the Navy Illue: We wear bra-a buttons on our cont. mill on oiirlunlstcontc, too, With n little " lrasn" upon our cheeks, wo keep the glrln In u utew " I'lioiaw: Navy4blue, navy blue, we're the boys totniarch.for ou; Two by two, two by two, we're the buy who wear the blue."

The State Convention assembled in ihe Opera House of this city on the 10th i tist., and nominated lcgcnls to till the e. piring terms of regcnlsIIolines and Mob. ley. Mr. Holmes was le-nominated, by acclamation, and the U-m. Mr. Pers'inger, of Merrick was nominated in Mr. Mob. ley's place. The contest was quite a spir ited one, much interest being manifest ed. We are unacquainted with Mr. Per singer, but learn that he is a wry able scholar, a graduate of Hat vard, and one, eager and ready to labor for higher cdu cation. Just as this Nsue of the S'ltiiK.vr goes to press we announce the resignation of Mr. E. P. Holmes, editor-in-chief. Im mediately the Hksi'Uuiax Studknt as-,0-ciation met, and the resignation was ae cepted. Mr. A. V. Hancock was elected to till the vacancy. The olllce of associ ate editor was declared vacant, and Miss Emma Parks elected to till the position. Mr. Albert Joyce having resigned about l wo weeks ago, the association elected Mr. 0. V. Cole to ill? bis place. The ne.vl issue of the Studknt will, thcicfoic, appeal with a brand new editorial corp., who will strive to make it prosperous duriii" their short administration.

Like the dew before Ihe morning sun, ho has vanished; and, wheic happiness and sunshine reigned .supreme, sorrow and ie giet, blended with that melancholic pij. il, tells a story sad and disconsolate, as the devil drops an occasional tear to mourn for his departure. Yea, lie's gone, driven by Ihe winds of adversity. The fragile pen has been dioppod,' while Holmes no longer lends enchantment to the motley crew who inhabit the literary realms of the Student's sanctum. Life is u wietclieil punishment, and the Student's devil gi ins with regret through his ink-stained lips as lie wonders who may be the ne.t tortured moital, ns ho yellsthis uncalhly iinthem. " More copy." We have recived u copy of the ie. port of the transactions of the state Horli cultural society for the year 1377. It is a wry neatly printed pamphlet containing much tliat is of interest to fruit groweis. The Ueport contains much valuable information in regard to Hortieultuic. It aiso contains an exccllant description ot the soil and climate of our State, as well as icporls of progress of fruit growing of the slate. Much information is given U.u in icgardto the insects which kill our fiuit tiees and the remidics for thepievintion of their destruction.
