College Of Saint Paul.

The Committee on the location of the site OF
the College of Saint Paul, have agreed to &C
cept the offer made by Messrs Dayton, Warren,
ami Hoyt, and apply all subscriptions of the
citizens below Cedar street, to the erection oil
the edifice of the College proper, in the vicin-
ity Of the mound beyond Caryer's cave.
It has always been the intention of the Board
Of Trustees to erect Preparatory School edi-
flee, for the convenience of youth residing more
directly within the city limits.
Having failed to secure site on Trout Brook,
John R. Irvine, citizen who made the first
donation of lot for school purposes, has again
come forward, and offers valuable and COM
manding site near the new brick mansion OF
Mr.. Banning, on condition that the citizens
dwelling above Cedar street secure to the Trus-
tees of the College, sum equivalent to the
value of his donation, and that the Trustees
have the ediice rooted in less than twelve
months. ei-7.e
The Baldwin School which has a separate
charter, and which hereafter will be conducted
as Female Seminary, is essentially under the
supervisor of the same gentlemen, and has
been sustained since its commencement. at an
annual expense of over five hundred dollars,
without calling for aid from the friends of edu-
cation in this city.
The Trustees therefore venture to hope that
the subscription paper they propose to circu-
late, for the Preparatory School in the upper
end, and the College building in the lower end
of the city, will meet candid consideration
from the friends of learning.
In behalf of the Board;
E. D. NELL,
President

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 80, 1855
The college Of St. Paul.

fs. = 7 EtsstJ Z . .-t- s o. . F.
The communication of Mr.. Neill, which we
give below, indicates that the proposed great
educational enterprise of permanently estab
fishing the College of st. Paul, is now placed
beyond the contingecy of failure, provided our
people will come forward and do their duty IN
the premises. Through the liberality of four
of our enterprising land-holding citizens, ELI
chile sites have been secured for both the Col
lege proper and the preparatory department;
and in case the other citizens of st. Paul, who
are abundantly able, come forward in aid of
the construction of the necessary buildings,
there will soon be an institution of learning in
our midst that will take rank with the first col
leges in the country.
The advantages of such an institution it is
not necessary to enlarge upon. Nor can the
advantages of the location, simply of itself, fail
to strike the practical minds OF men who are
not personally interested in st. Paul. Ahealth-
full climate; point of easy access from distant
localities at all seasons of the year; commu-
nifty of people farther advanced in intelligence,
morality and the refnements of life than any
other community of its age and population that
has ever, even much less suddenly, grown up
in the West, and twenty other advantages that
might be named, render st. Paul favorite and
highly eligible point for the founding of an in
stitution of learning of high order.
Mr.. Neill and those who are associated with
him in laying the foundation OF this institution,
simply for the great good of our children and
for the benefit of the young generations who
are to live hereafter, and not for any advanta-
ges they themselves will ever derive from the
enterprise, deserve the grateful thanks of the
community. This is all they will ever receive.
They have right to expect this, (although
they do not ask it) and more. They have "a
right to expect that their laudabl: plans for
giving st. Paul and Minnesota high charac-
ter in the world Of letters will not be thwar-
ted by any want of liberality or enterprise on
the part of the great body of the citizens them
selves. 1t is matter that we should all take
deeply to heart. -..., '" '-''H'

porting across the lower ferry at st. Paul, a
large quantity of the ardent" consisting of
one barrel oiwhisky, onc-half ditto Of brandy
and sundry other stores Of the same strong
liquid character. "Heilor shou cd q law
abiding citizen, who was witness to the ope-
ration (; don't yon know you are violating the

replied the offender; /" but this is physiciaas's
prescription. The fact is, my children have
the measels very bad, aud the doctor told me
must get some liquor for them but he did
not tell me what kind of liquor nor how much.

FROM .SUPERIoR.-We have received the
second number oil the Superior Chronicle. Ar
rivals at Superior continue numerous, and
business was brisk. The editors, in speaking
of the completion of the Saul Ste. Marie Canal,
and the passage of vessels through it, make the
following truthful and practical remark:
"The stupendous scheme of continuous
communication from the head of Lake Supe-
rior to the scaboerd, is at last realized and
eventually the trade and travel to the North
west must concentrate at this place. We arc
five hundred miles nearer the city of New
York than the people of St. Paul as the dis
lance from New York to Superior is no more
than from New York to Chicago, via the lakes
and with the st. Paul and Lake Superior Rail-
road in operation, the immense tide ofemigra-
ton going into Minnesota must pass through
this channel" y tff
A ROGUE CAUGHT.-A stranger, day or two
since, had small sum Of money taken from
him, consisting of bank bills but luckily he
had been careful to keepa memorandum of the
bills, showing the numbers, denominations
names Of the banks, &c. He put the st. Paul
police Oil the track; and very soon Deputy
Marshal Powers ovcrhauled the guilty indi-
vidual who was stopping at the Winslow House.
He was forthwith compelled to fork but as
the prosecuting witness did not wish TO appear
against him, the City Justice had no positive
evidence upon which to commit him. So he
was suffered to leave for other parts, which we
understand he did in a hurry Stealing is
every day getting to be more dangerous in ST.
Paul.
