' 3 JACOB ROW. -roud (ownsbipi March 15, 186C fFrom The Easton Daily Express." THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE IN LAFA- YETTE COLLEGE. We briefly alluded yesterday to the e nn-A .Pfp.,un e fu College and the formal organization of the new English and Scientific Depart ment. An event of such importance, not onlv to the Borouch. but to the whole State, and we may add to the country at large, demands a more extended notice. The Curriculum of the hew course was ' divided into 16 distinct departments, as follows : MENTAL AND MORAL PHLOSOPHY. POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. GENERAL AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY. MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY. ENGLISH LANGUGE AND COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY. ANATOMY AND PHISIOLOGY. BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION. HISTORY AND RHETORIC. PHYSICAL GEOGRAHIIY. MINING AND METALLURGY. BOTANY AND ZOOLOGY. GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY. PHYSICAL CULTURE. CIVIL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL ENGINEER ING. - MECHANICS AND EXPERIMENTAL PniLOS PHY. MODERN LANGUAGE. To each of these departments (except three, reserved for the annual meetiug in July,) a Professor was elected, and meas ures were taken to secure at once the ne cessary Cabinets and Museums. These are desigued to illustrate all the depart ments of Natural Science, especially Min eralogy Lithology ; Geology and Palaeon tology ; Botany and Zoology. Collections are olso to be made of models and draw ings of furnaces, mining tools, ma chines, and structures instructive to the Engineer and Architect. The Observa tory which has just been erected, consist ing of a Tower and two Transit Rooms, and fitted up with a revolving dome and telescope, a Transit instrument, and oth er apparatus for the observation of astro nomical facts, will afford every opportu nity for the thorough study of Astrono my, while the various laboratories in the handsome building now being erected by the munificence of Barton H! J enks, Esq., will be fitted up with all the most approv ed modern appliances for operation in inorganic, organic, and analytical Chem istry, and especially in Assaying and Met allurgy, under the immediate supervision and instruction of the accomplished Pro fessors who have charge of those depart ments. The general course is arranged parallel to the Classical so that those who do not wish to study Greek and Latin, may study the Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Modern Language and Literature, Histo ry, Rhetoric, Logic, Metaphysics, Ethics, &c, as thoroughly as they are studied in our best Colleges, and at the same time enjoy all the cultivation and learned hab its and associations of College life. But in addition to" this general Course of Instruction which is designed to lay a substantial basis of knowledge and schol arly culture, elective studies arc arrang cd for the Senior year and for a Post Gradu ate Course, so that the students may , if thev choose, devote themselves to studies essentially practical and technical; viz. : Engineering, Civil, Topographical and Mechanical ; Mining g anu iueuuiuigy , the application of Architecture : and Chemistry Agriculture and the Arts. There will also bo afforded an opportunity for special study of Trade and Commerce; of Modern Language and Philology; and of the History and Institutions of our own country. In fact the whole Curritu lum seems to have been arranged upon on the basis - of the most approved Poly technic and Scientific Institutions of the land, and we cannot refrain from again congratulating our citizens on the honor as well as the more practical and substantial advantages of having such au Institution here. The new Professors are not only men of learning and talents, but, what is of the utmost importance, experienced in teaching: all of them having occupied distinguished positions in various Colleg es ; three of them formerly members of the Faculty here. Of the Rev. Bv. Georgo Junkin who takes the chair of Political Philosophy, we need say noth ing. He is too well known here and too highly honored to need commendation from us. As the first President of Lafa yette his namo is linked to the College, and his return to these scenes of his ear ly labors will be hailed with delight by all who kuow and appreciate his worth. tt.,,t, on nlnmnuQ nf T.n fn vnttft will hear flmfc their honored instruc - tor is aain to be identified with "Alma I with most of the Polytechnic Schools of Mater." Rev. Dr. Burrowes, formerly 'Europe was appointed Curator ot the Vice-President of the College and more 'Museums and Cabinets, and also to super recently President of the San Francisco ! intend the erection of tho new buildings College (the first College established on j Our space will not permit us to say all the Pacific coast) retuns also to his o'ld we wish, and we shall rocur to the sub home with the cordial greeting of his jeet again. But last Wednesday was cer former colleagues, and our own citizens tainly a memorable day for Easton. rrpnerallv who have not forgotten his scholarship, his sincere piety, and his ma- nv onnnmnlislirnnnts. Mai II T.Lee. A.

Nor can we be- and liberality mean something when they lieve that all of our citizens have forgot- come together upon an occasion like this, ten the Roy. Thomas C, Porter, D. D., It is proper to eay that besides Mr. Par; tho distinguised. Professor of Natural deo's munificent gift of 8100,000. the Science in Franklin and. Marshall Col- lege. He graduated at Lafayette twenty- six years ago, and his whole lite has been j spent in the Professor's chair, pursuing ,wifch enthusiasm the studies of his depart- 'ment. He now returns to his Alma Ma- ter, and will have as a colleague in 'the Faculty his former instructor in Natural Science, Prof. Traill Green, M. D. It is enough to say of Prof. Porter that he is !a worthy pupil of one of the most emi I a. 1 n ,1 ii nent scnoiars ana one oi ine most tnor ough instructors that our con try has pro duced. The Rev. H. S. Osborn, LL. D., who takes the chair of Miuing and Met- allur 'XT ffirmprl V Prnfrtccnp ?n T?ninnlo College. He is widely known among men ot science ior nis original researches, ana for many valuable discoveries. He has published a number of books of great learning, and the Trustees of the College may well congratulate themselves and the public on having secured his services. Prof. Charles H. Hitchcock, A. M., of Amherst College, and recently Chief of the Geological surveys of Maine and North Carolina, takes the chair of Geol ogy and Mineralogy. No one is unac- Iquainted with the name of his honored father, President Hitchcock, one of the pioneers iu Geology, and one of the ablest savans in this or any other country. Prof. H. is said to possess much of the genius and enthusiasm of his father, though young has already achieved a distinquished reputation in his favorite department. Mr. Meigs, the Tutor in Engineering, and a graduate of Lafayette, we hear eood accounts. He has been connected nearly four years with the En gineering department of the Reading Rail Road, in which he has won deserved and rapid promotion. Of course, all the members of the present able Faculty share in the instruc- j tion to be given in this scientific course, and we must not omit to say that Tutor Sel den Coffin, A. M., was promoted to the Ad junct Professorship of Mathematics, a position he ha3 fairly earned by his ac quisitions in this department, as, well as his original ability and skill as an Instruc tor. Taking therefore the present members of the Faculty with the new Professors e ected. and the three to be cnosen in July, Lafayette College will have a Board of Instruction not surpassed in numbers or ability by any Institution in the coun try ; so that the value of Mr. Pardee's no ble gift is greatly enhanced. In no oth er way could he have invested, his mo nev so advantageously to the caues of scintific education. The Philadelphia Telegraph in a recent editorial highly eulogistic of Mr. Pardee, refers to this, and says, "He has done wisely, too, in connect ing the scientific school with an existing college rather than in founding a new o one. The multiplication not always an advantage. of colleges is They may be with each oth- so crowded as to interfere er, and so retard, rather than advance, the work of higher education. Moreover, . v ii l this arrangement secures the colleteral aid of the professors already at their posts in the College, and thus, without addi tional expense, contributes a large and experienced working force to the new Faculty." It may be well here to give the com plete roll of the Faculty as it now stands: President Cattell, Mental and Moral Phi losophy, Rev. Geo. Junkin, D. D. Political Phi losophy. Prof. Traill Green, M.

Blair, Esqr., the Trustees have recently added over twelve acres of valuable ground to the College premises. The Alumni Professorship has made steady progress so that by next Commencement, it is ex pected that their full sum will be added. Almost daily some former student sends his subscription of $100, or declares his intention to do so at an early day, all a like animated by a cenerous impulse to ' cTinvn in flio n rV 1 o "Wrtrl- r? untiMllinnr ; that the "roll ot honor" shall be completed ; witnout their names : and we are sure a broad foundation has been laid, that other men like that noble, generons Phil- : adelphian, Mr. William Adamson, will honor themselves by endowing additional Professorships. One of the Wondera of the World. The Del. & Hud. Canal Company have now piled at this place in the neishbor- ! hood of 350,000 tons of coal. This sim ! pie announcement may not excite the wonder of the general reader, but when I we add that the pile referred to is, so far ! as there is any record, the largest body of ' coal ever collected in one heap on the face of the earth, his attention may be secured to a few courious calculations. Thee cars in which the coal is brought from the mines to this place, when coupled together, average about fifteen feet in length, and .carry about three and three-quarter tons. To remove the stock at this point at one load it would there fore require a train of 93,333 cars, reach ing 265 miles in length : and if unload ed at the rate of one car in every five minutes for ten hours each day, the train would be considerably upwards of two years in discharging its freight, allowing no rest for Sundays. The vastness of the accumulations on our docks awaiting the opening of the season's navigation, will more clearly strike the ordinary consumer, if we base our calculations ou the quantities in which it it -i i- t " r? is generally aenverea. procession ot 700,000 carts would be needed, reaching iu one continuous line considerably more than 2000 miles and requiring, provid ed they could be simultaneously loaded, and all start at the same time, traveling at the rate of four miles per hour, ten hours, a day, upwards of fifty-three days, to pass a given point. Again, let us suppose the Company- ! crCnerous enough to make some man a. present of the pile on condition that he remove it with a wheelbarrow, carrying one cwt. at each load, and making a trip i. n. ... A " 1. !! ; every ntteen minutes, simpie caicuiu- tion shows that working the ordinary i hours, he would be over 610 years in se curing his treasure. When we take into consideration the fact that this immense stock is not much ! more tnan one-fourth of the amount which ' wiii gn jts way to pv0ndout through this . place during the year, and that the Del. & Hud. Railroad and Canal is only one among a large number of aveuues by which the products of our mines reach a market, we shall begin to appreciate the untold wealth of our State and the ma gnitude of the interests involved in its development. LToncsdale Herald A Nohle Hearted GirJ. An incident has lately come to our knowledge which we think we arc justi fied in alluding to. A Miss Jennie Sny der, of Rush township, Northumberland county, a poor, but noble hearted girl, was betrothed to a Mr. Kline. Mr. K. volunteered at his country's call and re ceived a bounty of four hundred dollars, which he gave to his lady love with this condition ; that if he was not spared to return the money was to be her's. Mr. K. was killed or died in the service, but Miss S. instead of retaining the money in a selfish grasp, employed a committee to proceed South in search of the body of the " loved and lost," which when found she had brought home and interred with Christian rites, the cost of which absorb ed a greater portion of tho money. -Would that many of the fair oues of the land, would emulate this humble girl's example. Danville Intelligencer. . . The Southbridge (Mass.) Journal says that last Sunday a good deacon of the Orthodox pcrsausion, who lives on Leb auon Hill in that town, drove into tho village with a load of potatoes and stop ped in front of the Post-Ofiice, which place ho tried to enter, but fouud the door locked. Some one standingby remark ed that the Post-Office didn't keep open ou Sunday. "Sunday !" said the deacon, with a look of perfect astonishment, "I thought it was Saturday; and here I've brought a load of potatoes to sell." Be iug assured that it was Sunday, tho dea cou mounted his wagon aud started home ward, with the puzzled expression of one who was never so before mistaken in all his life. At a daucing match in Chicago recent ly, a buxom Dutch girl danced nine hours consecutively, when her partner acknowl edged himself fairly beateu aud verytir cd. The damsel then took six glasses' of largor and quietly weut to breakfast. m , The prospects of an abundant peach crop in Kentucky are reported good.
