Several important changes have been made in
the department of instruction, which will give to
II greater extent and efficiency, and will render
Its advantages available to larger number Of stu
dents Two additional professors hare been APP
pointed, one In the department of Ancient Lam
guages, and the other in that of Mathematics. The
scientific course has been extended so as to en-
brace practical surveying, the elements of engi-
neerlng, and other kindred branches. Young men
who are not candidates for degree may, under
the direction of the Faculty select such studies as
are suited to their views and objects in life and
may receive certificate OF their attainments
therein. Youths who are not fully prepared to
enter the college classes will receive such instruc
ton as will fit them to enter upon the regular COL
sge course.
The buildings are undergoing thorough repairs,
and the grounds are being laid out and improved
in a manner that will add much to the convenience
and attractiveness to its already beautiful situation
1t Is believed the College never presented 30
strong inducements as it now does to young men
who desire to obtain thorough and liberal educa-

are killing the purpose of your lives they
are stealing away that fresh goodness of

her husband as a dowry. They will

Look for one Of this latter class: hen
you will preserve your pure, womanly
natures; your love for him will spring up

be perpetual in your husbands grateful

A Second William Tell.

About a month ago, as we learn from
the Courier des Etats Unis, case was
brought before the Correctional Police of
Spires, city Of Baden. which is certainly
without q parallel in the annals of Justice.
weaver Of Spires, who had been much
eXtolled as a marksnan, undert ook. bv a
desperate experiment, to establish his
renu,a ion beyond dispute. To this end,
he loaded his pistol and repaired to bis
garden, accompanied by his son. lad
about twelve years old He ordered the
child to stand at fifteen PAGES from him,
with pc. a'o upon his head. The boy
obevtd, without making any resistance;
and the father preserving the utmost cool
ness. fired his pistol and disIodged the
potato, the ball piercing through the very
centre.
The weaver's neighbors, to whom the
fact was related, refused to believe it, and
would only be convinced by repetition
of the fool hardy exploit. 1t was now
night but the intrepid marksman insist
cd upon an immediate repetition. In
stead of the potato, he placed upon the
boys head lighted lantern, at which he
discharged his pistol with the same suc-
cess as before. The fame Of this extraor.
dinary exploit coming to the ears of the
police, they deemed il their duty to arrest
this second William Tell. and put check
TO his wild ambition by the agency of
me law The justice b,fore whom the
case was brought not sympaf fhising with
he admiration which the affair had ex.
ci'ed among the weaver's neighbors, and
having aScer-ained by a careful investi-
CATION Of the circumstances, that, the
second lime, the pistol ball had slightly
grazed the boys cap, condemned the
marksman 10 eight days Imprisonment.

more easily lost than gained.
