Named for his ancestor, we suppose, but the Dr. asserts that he has a full set of ribs, never- theless notwithstanding. Adam has taught school some, but gone to school more. As an athlete, he shines and we wish him success in his wrestling with the world. EMIL HUTCHINSON.

Happy heathen ! CLARENCE WATSON. Of their own merits, modest men are dumb. Clarence first came among us many moons ago. He alighted from No. 6 with his carpet-bag strapped to a pet pony. The Y. M. C.
