...Nevertheless Ferdy plods on, rubbing the afflicted part with one hand, while the muckers scream at him to "hurry up, daddy-long-legs, you'll get left," but Ferdy is too wretched to mind such sarcasm. At last his wind is gone, his legs feel like lumps of iron, and there is a ploughed field and a brook between him and the hounds. Ferdy stumbles and tumbles over the ploughed furrows, and nerves himself to jump the brook - vain attempt! splash he strikes in the water and sinks to his waist in the slimy refrigerator. It is too much...
This tasty little volume consists of seven short stories. They are not likely to keep one awake nights with excitement, but are, nevertheless, very entertaining, being (for the most part) quiet rural tales, written in an easy, "chatty" fashion, the pages of which contain many a charming glimpse of home-life.

Bartley Campbell's new play of "My Partner," which has been very successful in New York, will shortly be produced. Next Monday evening, "Fatinitza" will be revived...
...world. '79 has formed so large a part of the life of the College during the last four years, that her graduation leaves a large gap to be filled. The influence of the class has been a good one. Of course, every class has its various elements, but nevertheless there is a certain tone about every class, as a whole, and the tone of '79 has been a manly one. The College has been better, on the whole, for the four years which the men who graduate to-day have spent at Cambridge, and we extend to them our best...
...fine a runner to be contented with second prizes, he withdrew without completing the course. On the part of Loney the foul was unintentional, while on Stewart's part the swerving from his proper course may have been purely accidental, and occasioned by the excitement of the moment; nevertheless, it tended to mar the sport, and spoiled what bid fair to be an exciting race between the two champions. This will probably be the last chance that Lee and Wendell will have to meet in the Intercollegiate Sports, as the former graduates from the University of Pennsylvania this spring...
