Our most kind friend, Mr. Calkin, has just remembered all the school rooms of the Thayer building by the presentation of three portraits of the late Rev. Wil- liam Tbayer and one of Daniel Webster. The pictures of Mr. Thayer are placed in the rooms of Misses Reilly, Counor and Fernald. Mr. Frazer's room, already having a portrait of Mr. Thayer, was fa- vored with the Webster picture. The pictures are in handsome frames Ifx13 inches, the pictures and frames being of the excellent work which is so charac- teristic of Mr. Calkin.

The two farces, "A Happy Pair" aud "Thirty Minutes for Refreshments," were presented Friday evening by some of the Dean pupils in the chapel.

Philadelphia has had a three weeks' trial of an ordinance prohibiting the dis- tributiou of circulars and flysheets at doors and on stoops in that city. It has worked an instant improvement iu the streets. April winds have less paper to blow about. The streets are neater and cleaner.

The way to keep the streets clean is to keep all the rubbish out of them.
