FEMALE PHYSICIANS.—The Female Medical College
of Pennsylvania will commence its next course of lec-
tures on the Ist of October. Its faculty consists of five
male and two female professors—the latter regularly
graduated physicians as well as the former—while the
Demonstrator in Anatomy is also an able female physi-
cian. That many women possess extraordinary capa-
cities for the healing art is established ; that there are
cases requiring medical treatment in which they are
better qualified to minister to each other's needs than
men can be is obvious. We trust that whatever preju-
dice may exist against " woman's rights " to the ballot
and to demi-pants will not be allowed to bear against
her right to qualify herself for a career of eminent use-
fulness in the relief of suffering, and the communication
to her sisters of important physiological truth.—New
York Tribune.

RAPPINGS" AT LlSHEARD.—Considerable excite-
ment prevailed here a few days ago, in consequence of a
strange knocking or rapping, heard in a certain part of
the graveyard belonging to the church, which seemed to
proceed from the ground where bodies had been lately
deposited. Great numbers assembled, and so evident
did it appear that the sound proceeded from below, that
preparations were made to dig into the grave of a per-
son recently interred ; when an individual with a better
exercise of his perceptive faculties, discovered that when
the wind blew, the sound was heard, and when the wind
ceased to blow all was silent. This led him to look up,
instead of down, for the origin. Then he observed a
branch of one tree, when in motion, to strike against the
branch of another ; and wood being a good conductor of
sound, it proceeded down through the trunk, and the
effect was as though it issued from the ground beneath,
—Plymouth Journal.

For a day within thy courts is better
Than a thousand spent in sinful ways :
I would rather keep thy holy portal
Than abide in tents the wicked raise:
CHORUS.
For a sun and buckler is Jehovah ;
•
Grace and glory we in Him behold.
No good thing from them that walk uprightly
Will the Lord of Sabaoth withhold.
How blest, 0 Lord, is he
That trusteth in Thee !
At the conclusion of the last chorus the Marquis of
Breadalbane, LardrChamberlain, left his station near the
Queen; and, accompanied by Viscount Torrington (act-
ing for the Marquis of Abercorn, Groom of the Stole to
Prince Albert), • conducted the infant Prince into the
chapel, his Royal Highness being carried by the head
nurse, and attended by Lady Caroline Barrington.
. The Royal infant wore a Honiton lace dress over white
satin, trimmed with lace and narrow white satin riband,
cap of Honiton lace, and mantle of Honiton lace over
white satin.
Lady Caroline Barrington with the infant Prince hav-
ing taken her station in front of the font, and the four
illustrious Sponsors having ranged up one side, the
Archbishop of Canterbury commenced reading theßap-
tismal Service.
On reaching that, portion for the naming of the child
the Archbishop demanded of the Sponsors how it should
be named, when the King of Hanover answered in a clear
sonorous voice,

Leopold George Duncan Albert,
•
and his Grace baptised it accordingly.
After having received the sacred symbol, his Royal
Highness Prince Leopold was returned to the arms of
Lady Caroline Barrington, and remained in the chapel
until after the exhortation.
The following Anthem and Chorus were performed :

CHORUS AND DUET.
Jesus, our holy Saviour said—
" Suffer little children to come unto me,
And forbid them not ;
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
For it is not the will of your Father,
Which is in heaven,
That one of these little ones should perish."
RECIT.
Shall His word be forgot ?
CHORAL.
No ! to Him hath this infant been given.
For we love the commandments He gave when He came :
And we now have baptized this child in His name.

DUET AND CHORUS.
Long may he grow, like Samuel,
In favour with God the Lord ;
And never cease from doing well,
And walking by His word;
For they who walk in Wisdom's ways,
In wisdom shall increase,
They shall ba crown'd with length of days,
And live and die in peace.
..
SOLO AND CHORUS.
Come, ye children, give ear to my word,
They never want who fear tho Lord.
And they who fear Him in wisdom increase.
Seek ye Wisdom, be found in her ways,
And length of life sh , wn your days
With blessings till ye 'ed in peace. Amen !
