This School opened last week under very
favorable auspices 50 far as the number Of stu
dents is concerned We learn that more than
one hundred are already in attendance The
arrangements were not SO complete at the
opening as might have been desired. but il is
expected thai the exertions OF those having
charge of the school viii make the iGeon-
senienee only temporary. We Were at the
Institution the evening preceding the day of
opening. and had an opportunity of seeing the
construction Of the building. and of obsen-
ing the students, large number having then
already come in. The building Is a very
large one, and shows that the Yearly Meeting,
under whose charge it is, are fully convinced
that they need ample means for the education
of their youth. But if the spirit of education
were as universally diffused 1t should be,
even this large house would not be sufficiently
commodious TO accommodate all the more ad-
vanced students belonging to Yearly Meet
ing, said to be the largest in the world. In
reference to the construction Of the building.
and the plan of having general study rooms
and general lodging rooms, we may at some
future time express our views.
Judging from the students We saw, we think
that the material for making good scholars is
equally as good as it was when our friend
Mr.. Estes had charge of the school. We
had the pleasure of attending an examination
of the school when Mr.. Estes was there and

EpHENRY WARD BEECHER the celebrated
pulpit orator and lecturer, lately hired himself
out to a Mr.. Wells of Chicago, to exhibit
himself as literary Lion in various western
cities, for twelve nights. at the rate of Sl25
per night. Mr.. Wells. thinking to make a
big spec charged fifty cents per night for
admittance to the show the consequence was
the people generally would not submit to the
exorb,ant demand. and the speculation proved
to be orer the LEFT. Mr.. B. returned home
rather chop fallen, though we suppose that
he required Mr.. Wells to fork over the slip
ulated amount At Cleveland. O, only abou:
sixty persons attended Mr.. BIS. lecture. when
he explained his lecturing arrangement,
and took occasion to pitch into the editors
who had freely censured his grasping avarice
in attempting to extort from the public. In
this respect he initiated many literary and po-
litical charlatans, who, when elevated by the
newspaper ladder to the highest round of
fame, fancy themselves firmly seated that
they need no further support, they kick away
the very instrument by which they were lift
