REPORT OF Till COMMITTEE OF rCBLICiTIOS.
The Board of Cf rators of the U.ni
VERSITT at Lew I8URO, would atate that
the failure Itr two yean past to make the ;
Annuaf Report required by the Charter ;
of the Institution, has been occasioned by ,
the absence of the Committees appointed
fir that purpose, or by their neglect at the
close of Lb session to fulfil 'the duty as-
signed them by this Board.
Since our last Report, tbe Femalo Insti- j
tute to which we then nf -rred has been j
established in a separate building in the j
borough, balf a mile from the Uuiversity
Hill, and bas been blessed wi'.b a large
measure of prosperity. Its first Catalogue
shows a total of C5 students.and tbe second j
(for the current year) bas tbe number of
S4. The graduating classes tuus tar nave
been small, but a much larger number is
now pursuing a regular course. Four com
petent and indefatigable Female Teachers
are croployed.who have been aided in their
labors by President Malcom and Professor
Loom is of the University.
Rev. Thomas F. Curtis, a gentleman
favorably known as a scholar and a Chris
tian, last Fall entered upon bis duties as
Professor of Theology in the University.
There were graduated from the College
classes in 1854, 6 from tbe Regular and 3
from tbe Scientific course. In 1855, 7
from the Regular and 3 from Ihe Scientific
course. The present year, 7 from tbe
Regular and 3 from the Scientific course.
The Charter requires a Primary Scbool
in connection with the University, but
there is none now in operation. It has
been apparent, even in the examinations
of tbe higher clascs, that this provision of
tbe Charter is wise and necessary, and
should be complied witb, if not as a dis
trict department, at least ia connection
with tbe Academy, and that it should re
ceive tbe patronage of all Students who
are deficient ia the Elementary English
branches.
Iu this connection we would also state
our conviction that tbe great want of our
Institution, in the department of Instruc
tion, is that of a teacher competent and
devoted to Elocution and Belleslettres.
a-,.. ,..., r.l,. r;w,r.;,v have nroved '
1UI '"" W ,
amrjle for every demand upon them. 1 he ,
real estate, movable property, money at
ioterest,and other available means in band,
are stated at over $150,000, while tbere
are not $6,000 claims against the Board
of Trustees of any nature whatsoever. The
original design, to make tbe Institution
self-ustainio.',aod to keep it clear of debt,
baa been we believe faithfully carried out.
The Board of Curators, witb bnt one
dissentiag votcrcommunicated to the Board
of Trustees a respectful protest against a
projected effort to remove the University
from tbe center to one corner of tbe State.
Tbey would deem such removal illegal and
unwise, aad that ita agitation would work
serious evil to the interests of the Univer-
i -
eity. The Alumni of the Institution, at
their present re-union, have also expresses
aa opinio adverse to tbe proposed cbaoge,
by a voice equally harmonious. And tbe
Trustees themselves, by the decisive vote
of 10 to 4, have declined tbe liberal offer
(from an esteemed aud generous patron) of
950,000 on eoodition of such removal.
The Northumberland Association has
contributed $20,000, tbeir proportion
promised for tbe original endowment of
R. CORNELIUS.
News Journal.
! $100,000.
The cititeos of Lewisburg
and vicinity h
000 to fill up
are since subscribed $14,-
the balance cf the sub
scription of Twenty five Thousand Dollars,
rcauired by the Trustees for tne erection
of the Center and East Wing of the Uni
versity Edifice. These Uuildings are
needed, and we hope by another Com
mencement may be found ready for use.
The Building Committee, located princi
pally in Lewisburg, are by the Trustees
directed to proceed as soon as the Bum of
$10,000 on the $25,000 subscription is
paid in.
With the proposed buildings, and the
present corps of Teachers, there i no val
id reason why there should not be a large
accession of Students to the several De
partments of the University. Twice or
thrice the present number can then be ac
commodated. Lewisburg and vicinity have supplied
over one-third of the Students of the In
stitution. Railway facilities are constant
ly making the place more easy of access.
Our location is central and healthy ; our !
population, moral. The University was j
designed, not simply for this immediate j
neighborhood, but for " tub Baptists !
OF rE.NXSVLVANIA.AS A DENOMINATION
Your Cornuiittce would suggest, whether
there is not a lack of appreciation, on the
part of the denomination, in many church
es throughout the State, of the benefits
and necessities of a more thorough educa
tion of their sons and daughters. The
number and wealth of the Baptists of this
large Commonwealth are sufficient to fur
nish Students, not by scores but by hun
dreds.' Is there not a necessity for a
deeper realization of the importance and
the mhantagcM of more thorough culture
of our rising youth ? Let our Pastors,
our Deacons, the Parents and the Friends
of the denomination in other parts of the
State, ponder well the thought we have
thrown out for examination.
At the present sessions of your Boards,
ltev. D. B. Cheney and Rev. Henry Day
of Philada., and Rev. P. B. Marr of
Lewisburg, have been chosen Members of;
tbe oara oi curators, .0 mi vacanc.es.

Bourneville is a little, modest looking,

picturesque farming districts that it bas

and very nearly comes up to Buffalo Val
ley, of course not quite. Here is where
corn appears to origiuatc. There are dead
levels of that staple, surrounding the vil
lage,wbicb appear to the eyo at some places
to have no termination or boundary, but
stretch far away until tbe bright green
looks like a baxy velvet carpet gradually
losing itself in the distance. Tbe valley
is watered by Paint creek, and by one of
its tributaries, Twin creek, (a very meek
unassuming little stream by tbe way that
comes jumping through among the hills,
and discharges itself into boisterous Paint
at a ahnrt distance from tbe place.) Tbc

Many farmers are prophecying that

But tbere will be peary, no doubt, tor an

for more than ten days. All tbe rain that
could fall for a month, however, could
hardly bring an average erop, in conse

I find that tbe gullibles are not yet quite
all extinct in and around the state of
Bourneville. Spiritualism bas beep play

The Slave-driving Prophet
Awake, O Israel ! the armies of tho
living God are under the ban of a pro
phetic curse ! !! When the king of Moab
hired Balaam in ancient day, to curse the
armies of Israel, tho Lord forbade his
prophet to obey the kingly niandatv. The
tables are turned in this latter day ; the
hired prophet has obeyed the mandate of
the present king of Moab.
In tbo streets of the city of Lewisburg,

hold one fourth of the audience and it was
obliged to halt in the glove. There being
no accommodations for the meeting there
an unoccupied wagon was converted into a
rostrum, and tbe meeting was then organ
ixed by calling Col. SttFEB to tbe chair.
After the meeting was organixed a hand
bill was put into tbe hands of tbe chair
man signed by Kent MoCoy, containing
substantially the request previously made
by Geo. A. Frick. The President read it,
and stated that it was a request ungener
ous aad unreasonable and could not be
granted, as tbe people who called tbe
meeting were entitled to tbe whole of the
time. But as tbe Fremont party was the

and of the Fremont club.he appointed to

the place, to discuss the subject proposed.
Mr. McCoy, in disregard of every princi
ple of propriety, insisted on his preposter
ously assumed right, and in bis xeal to
defend the 4 peculiar institution ' got on
one wheel of tho wagon and uttered the
words " now is the day antf now is the
hour," when be was politely banded to
the periphery of tbe immense crowd, bow
ie knives and revolvers to tbe contrary
notwithstanding.
At tbe close of the meeting it was an
nounced that Mr. McCoy would address
the faithful at 7 o'clock in front of Ilerr's j
hotel. The time came and the speech
was beard iu an orderly way, without any
inteiruption, by an audience of Fremont
men and women lining the south pave
ment, a largo number of Fremont men in
tbe street,, and a small crowd of the faith
ful immediately around the stand.
I will not attempt to give a view of the !
contradictions, inconsistencies, bullraging
ebullitions, falsehoods and profanity, that
composed bis effort. I will uow give only
one of its features that struck me forcibly.
Mr. McCoy is no logician, as bis speech
abundantly proved. He asserted, (did
not prove, being incapable of proof, sim
ply because the most of it was false,) that

JOHN CH'S FREMONT.
I1IS PHRENOLOGICAL CHART.
In the rhmdtngiml Journal, March,
18;2, before Col. Fremont was thought of
for President, was published an estimate
of bis character, which will now be read
with interest.
Colonel Fremont has a ttrpersrnnt
of wiry toughness, and extraordinary ela.- J
ticity. His entire organisation is on. of .
rare compactness, and as fine in fibre as it J
is dense and endurinir. body and
head partaking alike of bee fjoslities, ac
count for the hardihood and activity tf
the former, and the clearness, persistence,
and unbounded energy of the latter. His
bead, face and body, are vary hafmoninus
ly proportioned, each one in itself, and
each to tho others. The bead sppears very
bigb from the ears, indicating extra orrti
nary Firmness, witb large Veneration and 1 Jj,. 0t tuis nomination by tbe people and
Benevolence. These facultie give an.ele-j the wide spread eLthusiasm which tb
vated and aspiring tendency of character , nomination of Fremont bus axoittd in th-
and gr after great achievement,. ?h .il "..'
