YENHE LECTURES OF THE FACULTY OF PLY
4 SIC of the University of Maryland will commence
the ensuing term the FIRST DAY OF SEPTEM-
BIER next, and will continue until the FIRST DAY OF
Prof. N. POTTER, Theory and Practice of Med.
&c II. w. HALL, Obstetrics, Hygiene and
Med. jurisprudence.
Z" S. G. BAKER, Materia Medica, and Thera-
peutics.
W. E. A. AIKINi Chemistry S Pharmacy
W. N BAKER, Anatomy and Physiology.
&c N. r. SMITH, Lecturer on Surgery.
For the ensuing session arrangements have been made
by which Dr. Smith Will give fuli and complete course
Surgery before the usual period when his presence
will be required in Lexington. After his departure an
additional Surgery will be given by the Prof
of Anatomy. In offering six months course OF Lee
instead of the usual term of four MONTHS the Fac
ulty satisfied that Medical Students will fully appre
cate the great advantages which they will derive from
this extension of the time, while for the few who cannot
conveniently spend six months in the city, attend
ance during four months will meet the demands of the
charter. The well known facilities of this Institution
have been increased during the past season by the add
ton of valuable preparations 10 its costly and
extensive Anatomical Museum, and viii be further aid
ed by full set of the celebrated Pathological Models of
Thbert, ordered from Paris by Dr. Smith, Iii believed
they will be the only complete set in the country this
side of the Mountains and will render the Sur
gerry vastly more instructive than could be made with
out them. The splendid Chemical apparatus of the
University has been materially improved and increased,
and valuable collection of Foreign and American Min
erals have been placed in the Laboratory for the benefit
rooms and abundant supply of the afera enables the
Faculty to offer advantages for the study of Anatomy,
unequaled by any institution in the country while the
Baltimore Inrmary affords every convenience for daily
clinical instruction both in Surgery and Medicine.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.


AT a meeting of the Faculty after the death
Of Professor Davis, Chairman of the Faculty,
and the presiding Officer of the Institution,
on Monday the 10th day of November, 1910:
the following preamble and resolutions were
offered by Professor Tucker, and unanimous
ly adopted
This day fortnight. the members of the
Faculty followed to the grave the remains of
a lamented Professor, and to-day we are a.
bout to perform the same sad obsequies for a.
mother associate and friend, who has not as
Mr.. Bonnycastie, been taken away. in the
course of nature, by protracted disease, but
has been snatched from us by the hand of
ruthless assassin, and under circumstances of
peculiar atrocity. -Four nights ago, Profess
sor Davis In the vigor of health, and in the
meridian of life, was shot down before his
own door-sill, i'll tho wantonness of ruffian
malice. when he had no suspicion Of danger,
was without the means of injury or defence.
and when his only provocation was an unsuc-
ecssful attempt TO discover who had disturb
ed his domestic peace and violated the laws
of the University.
The feelings excited by an act Of blood and
villainv, without example in the annals Of
College excuses, will not permit us to dwell
friend. The heart rending lamentations of his
widow and orphans, his relatives and domes-
ticks, the general voice Of the students OF this
institution, and the wide circle of his acquain-
lance, concur in attesting them, and proclaim
in voice not to be mistaken, that, besides the
irreparable loss TO his family, the University
has been deprived faprinclpal prop, society
Of a most useful citizen, and religion of one
ul It's fairest ornaments. Ina spirit OF exalt-
ed piety he died, forgiving his reckless muir
derer. We can now do no more than make
the following brief expression OF our senti-
Inents.
Resolved, That, willie we mingle our tears
with those OF the relatives and friends OF our
colleague. we feel it to be our duty as good
citizens and officers of this University to use
all proper cxertions for the purpose OF bring
ing the perpetrator of this foul deed to con-
dign punishment.
Resolved, That, amid the feelings of grief,
horror and Indignation which fill our hearts,
we find some solace in the fact, that the STU
dents as body, have made such active, ar
dent, and interchangeable efforts to discover the
skulking assassin. and to subject him TO the
impartial sentence of the law.
Resolved. That, we will wear the usual
badge OF mourning for sixty days, and that a
copy of these resolutions be sent TO Mrs. Da-
Wis by the Chairman, and to the public Jour
nails by the Secretary.

BALTIMORE WHEAT TRADE

We find that very large business has
been done In this market, in the article of
Wheat: within about week past. The sun
plies of Maryland and Virginia Wheats from
various points on the Chesapeake have been
more abundant than usual, while THROUGH the
channel of the Tide Water Canal large ouan.
tues have also been received from Pennsyl-
sania-thc proprietors being anxious to get
Ii to market before the close ofcanal nayiGa-
ton. From the best sources of information
we gather the fact that from so, 900 to 90. 600
bushels of Wheat have been sold within the
week, of which upwards of $4,000 were
pennsylvania, and the rest MARYLAND and
Virginia: Notwithstanding the large SUM-
plies and heavy transactions the market has
maintained and closes with degree of firm
ness lprice so to 81 cts. bushel.l which
proves the fullness and activity of the compe-
tition. This is only the first season in which
the communications of Baltimore with the
interior of Pennsylvania have been opened,
but enough has been already developed to
show that the business relations of our CHI.
zens with those Of the keystone State mus;
rapidly become OF the most enlarged, intimate
and mutually beneficial chafacter.-.a,ner.

Some little excitement was produced at
Mobile recently. by the intelligence received
that number of coorcd men were about to
he landed at Mobile from Alexandria, ID. c.,
for sale. it appears that they were from the
lails in Virginia. and had been released by
the Governor on condition that they should
be sent ont OF the State. The contractor.
however, shipped them for Mobile, and the
Governor OF Virginia, on learning the fact,
informed the authorities there. The brig
arrived, but none OF the persons aboard were
permitted to land, and she ACCORDINGLY sail
ed, it is supposed, for New Orleans. The
contractor is liable 10 penalty of $1,000
each, unless ne transport them beyond the
limits of the United States.
