The Masquerade of the A. A. T. V. Wednesday night was a complete success in every way. For one thing especially unusual to masquerailing parties this one deserves credit, that is for catchinga thief whowasbreaking intoNeuhoff's machine shop. One of the party saw a man getting into the window at the rear of the store, and giving the alarm the other masqueraders soon surrounded the building and captured the burglar on the inskle. We are convinced that after all masquerades are of some use. The Bicycle Club of Chicago contémplate taking a twelve days ruu next sumruer through Canada to the Falls, and return by way of Cleveland.

Fall of this city and Prof. Delos Fall of Albiou college are twins, and we make the following extract f rom a letter of the latter to the former, writteu last week Thursday: " To-day is Ida's (his wife's) birth-day, and it also has an interest for you and me, viz : - to-day Mother is 70years and 34 days old, while we are 35 years and 17 days old- just half as much ; or your age aüded to mine will make hers. She is just twice as old as we are but will never be again nor never was before." This makes quite an unusual coiucidence. It will be remembered that a good deal of interest was manifested at the reading of the selected Essays in English, at the High School, last term. The series of readinga for this term begins to-diy at 3:30 o'clock, when Essays in English I. will be read. The remaining appointments are: English II., Friday, 2 March; English III., Friday, 9 March; and English IV., Frida}', 1G March. These Essays are the best .writlen by the respective classes, and may be taken as a jood sample of the work now done under Mr. Douglas's direction. Visitors will be welcomed. Quite a pleasingMinstrel entertainment wasgiven Saturday evening by Ui Henry.'s troupe. The concert singing and acting were good, but the features especially noticeable were the musical exbibitiona of Torn English, whose handling of the violin and bones was remarkable, and the clear soprano singing of W. II. Lyons. This latter being rendered in costume was totally deceptive. It was difficult to believe it was a he. Another novelty was the singing of a couple of solos by Mr. Ah-nawey-o,the basso-profundo, and at the same time a real live Indlan of the Iroquois tribe. We believe the entertainments of this company are considerably above the averag minstrel shoivs.
