Boston Theatre. - There is a departure from the usual run of entertainments at this theatre. Let all who are fond of a variety entertainment of the best sort, visit the Boston this week. The prices have been lowered from a dollar and a half to a dollar, others in proportion...
...cannot see that any harm will ensue from having bonfires in the yard upon great, occasions, yet can the college afford to make a universal principle of such action; for who shall say when the occasion warrants more than the usual firework display?

A strong wind was blowing from left field and the air was damp and chilly. The pitching was thus more uncertain than usual. Both ??? and Nichols seemed to have much difficulty in making their curves confirm to the fitful gusts of wind. The outfield was very soft, and many of the base hits would have been good for two basers on a hard field...
