M. S. Stewart, oL Duluth, MinD., a gradĂșate of the law department of the University in 1871, and now a prominent lawyer where he liveg, carne to Ann Arbor about two years ago to spend his summer vacation. He spent it in shooting about the city and on the campus, a little to the annoyance of Secretary Wade, who, upon remonstrating with him, received the explanation that he was only shooting the English sparrows. The slayer of sparrows was about the museum a good deal, and noticed the lack of fine specimens of deer. The University has wanted better specimens, and was considering the subject of procuring them, wben recently they received from Mr. Stewart four deer well stuffed and magnifieently mounted, - one a buck in the gray, lying down, a buck and a doe in the red, and a fawn in the spot. There were also two bear and a cub, and a beaver, all well mounted. The collection is very fine, and must be worth $500 or $600. Concerning Regent Whitman who left Ypsilanti to reside in Ann Arbor, the Ypsilantian says : " There are no church deaconships made vaoant by Charley's departure, we believe, but the removal of himself and family will cause vacancies in social and literary circles here that may not soon be filled, as they filled them. Oae of Charley's young friends recently remarked, that if the er of ' Red Blood' should ere long be borne on the night winds from the northwest, it must not be taken as the forerunner or follower of some dreadful deed. It would result from the fact that Charley Whitman was playj ing progressive euchre at Ann Arbor, was ahead in his game, and was making his pathetic plea for the ringing of the bell." It is rumoree] that one of the students of the high school haa taken his departure for parts unknown and a number of our merohants are mourning for unpaid bilis.
