Thirtv went on the early Friday morning train, and Were met at the depot by Superintendent Joy and the college ’bus. Lunch was served to the hungry, services were attended at the college chapel at 8:30 o’clock, and an address of welcome was given by Professor Mills, who knew, personally, nearly every one of the young people from childhood in the public schools of Indianapolis. Several Earlhamites, who aro graduates of the High-school, formed themselves into a committee and devoted their entire attention to their visiting friends. After chapel, the visitors met Professor Dennis for an hour in the museum, where he showed them the various typical fossils of the vicinity, which they would be most likely to pick up from the Whitewater gorge. The visiting students then met on the campus, and after three rousing cheers for Earlham went to the river under the lead pf Professor Dennis. Here for two hours they plastered themselves on the rocky ledges and slopes of the gorge, filling their baskets with the shells and corals that are to the Whitewater what pebbles are to Fall creek.The rock exposure at Richmond is known to the geologist as the “Cincinnati group, Lower Silurian formation, and Paleozoic age. The layers of rock alternate with seams of clay, and as it weathers out the harder fossils lie exposed, often as many as a hundred on the surface of a square foot. It is one of the best fossil and rock exposures for study in Indiana.The 'bus took the young ladies back to the college, where they were given places of honor in the dining hall, with college professors at each end of the tables. Twenty'eiglit of the students remained till the late train, spending the afternoon either at the college, collecting in the gorge or taking in the beautiful streets of Richmond. A few visited the Richmond High-school, where 115 students attend out of a population of 18,000, and a much larger proportion of boys than in the Indianapolis High-school. The sciences are taught by Prof. H. B. Porter, seven years ago a pupil of Indianapolis High-school. Professor Porter lias large classes in physics, analytical chemistry, zoology and botany,' and is using the modern methods of individual research and experiment with eminent success. The High-school has doubled its numbers within two years, and has a strong leaning toward the natural sciences. There are no electives, except in the languages. All take English, mathematics and science. There are twelve students in the graduating class.After tea at tho college the remnant of the excursionists gathered at the depot, and concluded it was a little the be«t day they had ever enjoyed.On the way home the students determined to attend the graduating exercises at DePauw in a body next June, and the following year to either take their May science excursion to the Falls of the Ohio, the State University, or Wyandotte Cave, or, better yet, to take a week and make a scientific research of the entire southern half of the State, from Lawrenceburg to New Harmony. But with their limited knowledge it will take a half year to study up and assimilate all they saw and collected in their recent excursion.The State Military Encampment.The managers of the State military encampment, to be held at Lafayette, have decided to increase the prize of the free-for-all competitive drill from $1,000 to $1,500, and an effort will be made to induce sevoral of the crack Southern companies to enter the contest.A Girl's Matrimonial Lesson.Emma Davis, the grrl under legal age who was married to Harry F.
