The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, morai
worth and professional requirements, will com
pare favorably with the most distinguished IN
our country. The medical faculty constitutes
an anomaly in this or any other coun.ry-al Of
them are able lecturers and the best OF teachers
Those who will contemplate our geographlcal
position, and the extent OF our population, can
have no doub, MS to tho eligibility OF our sisua'
ton for nm enterprise Of the kind. As !ohea'h.
including all seasons Of the year, We deny sha
ANY OTHER CITY HAS MORE.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
students relative TO the place OF studying meols
cine; those who intend pracsicing among the az.
eases Of the West and South should certainly eds
ucatc themselves at school whose Faculty are
practically acquainted with those diseases.
Tnst the public may be satisfied Of the perm,@
nency of this school, we feel il our duty to stat,
that the Trustees and Faculty form UNIT in &C.
ton, which uueurs well for its future success I;
and tha, the peculiar internal organization which
connects them, cannot DO interrupted.

SAYS the Syracuse Star-by story related
by one of our police officers. A man by
the name Of WIN. II. Sparks has, for long
time, been under arrest for a high crime.
The case-after lingering along from term

Ter nolle pyoscgui. Officer House, who
is shrewd fellow, told The Judge that il
would be better not 10 tell Sparks that he
was discharged, bu, get rid Of him entirely
The business being entrusted TO him,
House whispered 10 officer Kenyon, who
al once took the hint. Sparks come into
court, dressed of in a fine suit Of clothes,
and looked very much like gentleman.
KENYON took him by the arm aud said
"You can't be tried yet, SO wo will 60
back to jail"
Going down stairs. Sparks said
sWhat do you think they will do With
me?'
"Why," said X, "They will give you
ten years"
1.I'hat is what | expect" said he.
"Can you run, BII?' asked X.
"Run,n said he, souly just give me n
chance and Sec"
swell, now Bill, you start md I'll run
after you, but wont overtake you, and then
I'll tell them you escaped"
No sooner said than done; off went
Sparks as feet as deer. X. jumped on
the steps and laughed heartily, exclaiming
sGoad gracious, SEQ lin run gee him rum
end then lie would laugh as If his sides
would crack. IN the meanwhile away
went Sparkle, and was finally ont Of sight.
Presently the officer scratched his head and
slapped his thigh
s'There," said he, "wasn't fool 10 le,
that fellow go! Hes gone off with Adam
