We were thascd to meet our Scratoi

They were iu their .- eats and attentive
ly engaged in the discharge of their
duties, seldom mining roil cull. In
the Senate Mr. Doitch is the acknowl

the House who can claim that honor,
and although there an; more men of

The TttrsTEi s of our State- I'niver
sity held their semi-annual meeting
at Raleigh, on last Thursday, and
flrere was a iarger number prt-Mji.t
than ever before known, which is an
indication of the increasing interest
that is everywhere throughout the
State being manifested iu that euer
able institution of learning. For sev
eral years past many friends of the
University have opposed the ball
md dancing at tho annual Commence
ments, and have endeavored to per-
auade tho trustees to forbid vt. and so
ifie "dancing" ipu-stion has been dis
cussed at several of their meetings,
but heretofore) nolhing definite was
done. At the late meeting, however,
a resolut ion was adopted i to take effect
after next Commencement) foi bid
