...Gunnison Country," by Ernest Ingersoll. There are four portraits, illustrating the first part of "Retrospections of the American Stage," by John Bernard. There are two purely literary papers, one on "The Brownings," by Miss Kate M. Rowland, of Baltimore. The other literary paper, by J.

These reasons seem to us no less cogent now than they were a year ago, and we therefore decline the renewed invitation to be present at a meeting on April 15, trusting, nevertheless, that the Acta and other college papers that expect to be benefited by an I.
