MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF DICKINSON
COLLEGE.
A meeting of the fiiends of this institution was
held last evening, in the Union Methodist Epis
copal Church, Fourth street, below Arch. Mr
Jonn Whiteman was appointed Chairman, and
Dr. Murphy acted as Secretary.
Rev. Mr. Pattenoa opened the meeting with
prayer. • Rer. Dr. Johnson, of Dickinson College,
then addressed the audience. . He stated that the
principal objection to many, was th* distance the
College was located, but this, when well consid
ered, could not be looked on aa a serious objection.
The importance of the education of the youth of
the church was alluded to in urgent terms, and It
was stated that unless the Methodist Church
looked alter her interests in this respect, ths
welfare of the sect would' be impaired. He felt
that the present was the proper time to raise the
funds necessary for its endowment. He stated
that if the people of Philadelphia would contri
bute liberally in connection with those in other
sections of the State, the necessary sum would be
realised. One hundred thousand dollars was the
sum stated to be required for the object named. A
circular had been addressed to the Churches in
which it was stated that SIOO, 000 should be raised.
It is the opportune moment and the crisis; and
we have ground of encouragement. Several gen
tlemen are already pledged to 55,000 each. Philadel
phia Conference ought to raise S 50,000; and, if the
city will take the lead, and promptly give half
that sum. wc are assured that the whole sum can
be comparative ease. The motives to
this effort are such as should command our liveli
est interest and our ready Our nu
merical strength lays on us obligations to the coun
try ann to the Utaurch of Christ in general, which
we cannot meet but by the more general and tho
rough education of our youth. Our vital interests
as a denomination, also,are equally involved. We
; cannot otherwise maintain onr prosperity at
home or carry our own enterprises abroad!
with success. Dickinsor is one of the eldest col
leges in.the country, and it has character and re
putation both at home and abroad, which Tanks it
among the first. It is, for the Meihcdist Church,
the centre and hope of education for all the broad
region of country, from the seaboard to the Alle
ghenn s, and irom tbe border of New York State to
the centre of Virginia. Endow the College as it
should be and we make it a controlling power in
the land, which will elevnte and give character to
the Church, and bless the world more than words
c*n express.
During the evening addresses were made by
Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Dickinton College; Rev. A.
Attwood; Mr. Wright, of Lewistown; Mr. T. T.
Maxon, and others.
It was finally agreed to submit the whole subject
ton Committee, who were directed to confer with
Dr. Johnson relative to the best plan of carrying
out the objects of jhe meeting. After the transac
tion of other matters of minor importance the meet
ing seijourned.
A CONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION IN N. YORK.
Albany, Feb. 15. —The Governor to-day signed
the bill perfecting his amendment to the Constitu
tion, which enables soldiers to vote, and appeinting
the seci nd Tuesday in. March for submitting the
question, to the people. .
Death of A Diver.— Felix Giraud, a diver,
was drowned at St. Louis, on /Wednesday, in
the following manner: Ho was-an expe
rienced submarine operator, and had been em
ployed during the last nine months by Captain
Smith, of the Memphis Packet Company, and
during that time had made a great number of
descents. He made one more descent on Tues
day at the wreck of -the Moderator; lecently
sunk liy the ice, for the purpose of getting a
chain nnder that wreck. On Wednesday,about
ten o’clock in the morning, he donned the
usual suit of submarine armor, which encom
passes the entire body about, and descended on
the outside of the vessel, in about twenty feet
of water. Giraud remained underneath the
surface of the river so long—some twenty
minutes—that the attendants became first puz
zled and then alarmed at the absence of all
signals from below, and pulled him up. Giraud
was dead. The head-piece of the armor was
instantly taken off, and disclosed the face
blackened, and blood issuing from the nose and
ears, all betokening suffocation.
It is supposed that the unfortunate diverhad
stumbled off the ladder by which he was de
scending—-no weights being attached to his
feet, although there should have been—and
that his position became immediately reversed,
his head being downwards, and that then he
was instantly suffocated by the foul air, which
always descends.
• Mubder in Coluhbia. —The peaceful bo
rough of Columbia was the scene of a horrible
murder oh Friday night. The victim was a
young man twenty-one years of age, son of
Mr. Isaac Hogendobler, who during the even
ing attended a dance at the tavern of Lawrence
onnth, near the rolHbg mill. While there he
became engaged in a quarrel with another man;
whose name is not known, concerning a girl.
This was quieted, however, and the.stranger
and girl lelt the dance together. Soon after
their departure Hogendobler followed them,
and just as he had overtaken them the stranger
turned and discharged apistol, the ball enter
ing his abdomen. - He lingered uutii five
o’clock the next morning, when he died. The
murderer made his escape.
