PROFESSOR PAINE has given the second and third of his piano recitals; the one took place on Thursday evening, the 10th, and the other on Tuesday evening, the 15th.

Emma,' and other Freshmanic ditties on it all day long, accompanying a chorus of some twenty classmates. I could n't study at all, with so much noise to distract my thoughts from Italian Grammar and Natural History; result, an average of forty and one fifteenth...
