The course Of studies in Pennsylvania College
is as extensive and substantial as that of any i'm
stitution in the country. The Preparatory De-
partment provides for instruction in all the branches
of thorough English business education, in addi-
ton to the Elements Of the Mathematics and Clas-
sical Literature. The College course is arranged
in the four classes usual in the institutions of this
country. ia 1tt3N &at sNia5i1 a
Y The government Of the students is as energetic
as their circumstances seem TO require. They at
tend at least two recitations day, and the Faculty
contemplate increasing them to three, Church and
Bible Glass on the Sabbath, and are visited in
their rooms so frequently as to preclude the dan
ger Of any great irregularities. It is believed no
institution in the United States has more exem-
plary young men in connexion with it. They are
all required to lodge in the College edifce, special
cases excepted. ai i .e4tfe 1a

room rent during the winter sessions S6l 81 l-2; for
the summersession, S4l 81 l2; washing $40; wood,
$3' 90. Total expense, SH6 rs. Boarding can be
had in town at 81 25 per week. p.'s
sN There are two vacations in the year, commenc-
ing on the third Thursdays Of April and Septem-
ber; each of five weeks continuance.
4 The summer session will commence on Thurs
day the 22d Of May. The annual commencement
takes place on the third Thursday in September.
Il The Trustees have recently made various ar
rangements which will increase the efficiency of
the Institution. They have increased the number
of Professors and provided for the most ample in
struction of the students. '3@
Professor Baugher and Haupt are prepared to
board boys and to exercise special supervision
over their studies and department, and Parents who
may perfer placing their sons under their care,
will be secure in regard to their proper manage
ment, under arrangements such as pertain to the

TERRIBLE AcciDENT--We learn from the

seriously injured. This will appear the
most extraordinary part Of the affair wen we
Y. state the circumstances. II is a rule when
the trains meet between two "tum-outs,"
that that one which has crossed the halfway
line shall make the other run to the station
a,rsf which it has last left. On Wednesday last
both the up and down cars were rather late.
They came in sight Of each other at q point

both engineers crowding on all steam, as the
phrase goes, each endeavoring TO reach the
halfway line first, in order to make the other
NJ RIM back. Onward both ofthem flew for the
W. contested point, at terrific speed AS they
~ approached both engineers gave their engines
the reverse action, but, alas! too late. Inc
engines would not recede. An awful collis-
ion ensued, by which both engines were al
most stove to pieces. The engineers them
selves and the mail agents, when they saw
sa that the meeting was inevitable, jumped over
M board and escaped injury. There was a
III large number of passengersson both trains,
esaand it is really miraculous that they were not
seriously injured. The upgoing engine, the

nROSPEVIUS4 OF The NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the drec-
ton of Francis J. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, ESD, Of Pittsburgh. ~, sFas ratQ
This work contains the best productions Of Eng
lish law authors, without regard to priority of claim
on the partof any American publisher. Such books
are nov VIGOROUSLY too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoles in
the hands Of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. IN
der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes Of American decisions, the latter claim an u
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers Of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market Should new editions Of the works
of such writer's as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia-shallh have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law g, o,eF ate EIe
