VERMONT COLLEGES

1t has become generally known to the nrb,;
that an attempt has been made within Tho -
few months, to unite and amalgamate the U,;~.N
sity of Vermont and Middlebury College. As.
have already stated to public, committees r.,s
appointed by the two Corporations, to exapin.
the subject, and propose plan of union. IN.
committees met, compared views, and reops,,.I
one Of their number, gentleman eminent fo- n.
legal knowledge, to prepare a bill, embracing 80.
tain principles agreed upon, and report to II.
committee at an adjourned meeting. The cor
mittees again met-the bill was presented and
freely discussed, and most of its principles and d
tails assented to. Thus matured, it was referred
to the Corporations for their examination and
sanction before it should be presented to the Il.
gislature. The Corporation of AIiddebury Col,
lege examined and discussed the bill, and, beso-.
taking final action the subject, proposed to the
Board Of the University to make one important
and TWO or three slight amendments The Cor.
poration of the University, after mature considc.
ration, rejected the bill, and declined further &C.
ton on the subject of union. The views enter
tanned by the different parties, are expressed in
the following preamble and resolution of the Cor.

new institution is to be determined BY com.

imperfectly acquainted with our internal condi.
ton and relations, and especially with the feel

matter:
Whereas, the late munifcent subscription to the
University is, by express terms of the bill, rem
dored imperative and void in case its present
location is disturbed and in the opinion of legal
advisers must, from the manifest tenor on which
it is made, cease to DO obligatory in law; and
Whereas, it Is a matter of serious apprehension
whether the funds of the University, reduced BY
the forfeiture of the late subscription and the
great sacrifice Of property which must anavOil-
ably arise from a change Of its present sit.
would be adequate 10 its existing heavy latll'
ties, and to secure uninjured its creditors and

Preperation Of Coffee.,

OF memoir on coffee by the distin-
guished French chemist M. Payen
The results brought out by his chemi.
cal researches agree exactly with facts
previously known in regard to this ar.
ticle. A great error in the pre- paration
ofscofee is,that il IS burnt TOO nuch, by
which the liquid, when it is brought to
the table, is deprived Of its agreeable
flavor, and has bitter unpleasant taste.
, - The reason for this is shown: -
= :. Coffee roasted only liIlit becomes
slightly red, preserves the max:mum
