Professor Anderson,
AND THE UNIVERSITY AT LEWISTU'Rr,.
Prof. Anderson, of the University at Lewis
burg, has returned from his tonr in England,
Scoiland and France, whither he went partly
for his own improvement, and partly on busi
ness of the University. He purchased in Pa
ris a complete cabinet, collected by the celebra
ted EloSe, embracing all the principal articles
for the illustration of four sciences, viz : Bot
any, Geology, Mineralofrv, and Zoology. This
beautiful and symmetrical collection is the gift
of the President, Rev. Dr. Malcotn. Prof. An
derson collected also many valuable specimens
in his tour, which he adds to the cabinet.
Three large cases are already in the library
hall of the University, entirely filled with spe
cimens, some of them of great beauty and val
ue; and various friends of the Faculty, or the
University, are engaged to send in contribu
tions. The Institution, therefore, now posses
ses a cabinet far superior to that of almost any
other College in the United States though
scarcely six months have elapsed since it was
commenced.
Prof. Anderson also purchased for the Uni
versity, through the liberality of Israel E.
James, Esq., of Philadelphia, and his son,
Prof. James, of the University, a fii.e Manakin,
which, with a perfect human skeleton, kindly
loaned the Institution by Dr. Thornton, of Lcw
isburg, and a full set of fuller's Charts, and
various models of a very magnified size, of the
ear, eye, larynx, trachea, c, purchaed ly the
University, will furnish every thing needed in
teaching Physiology .which, with the four above
mentioned sciences, have not hitherto been
taught io (his Institution.
To preserve and display all these additions
will require an outlay of a least five hundred
dollars for glass eases, 4c, which has been
contributed for (bis express purpose, by Messrs.
J. P. Crozer. Park II. Cassady, K. J. CresweU.

From a dismal dream of failing.
But alas! for the hanghty Mis SlacDride,

They owned it con'd n't bare w-l been worst
To go from a full to an empty purse ;
To expect a " reversion, sud get a reverse,
Was truly a dismal fiature !
But it was ut Strang they whispered at all ;
That the Summer of Pride, should have its Fall,
