At Gettysburg, I was politely Shown through the halls-of:Pennsylvania College, by Professor - Reynolds, and spent an hour in its library, conversing about Getman -1i • terature, with Rev. Dr lirauth, its erudite. President, and tumbling over o ld to mes wheae classical dust had not apparently been so rudely disturbed for ysare before. In the elegantly adorned rooms of the Litere ry Societies were suspended portraits of Thaddeus Stevens. in compliment to that eentleman for having procured a liberal grant of money to the Institution from the State. - We visited the Lutheran Theolo-- •gical Seminary, and were courteously re ceived by its President, Rev Dr. Schmuck ' er—a gentleman of lucid mind and rare learning, and the author of -a very clover work on Mental and Moral Philosophy.
