For the snu.

Messrs. Editors II am happy to learn, from
your paper and other sources that efforts are
being male to secure the location of the con-
templated Female College in our city, The
enterprise itself is most worthy, since one of
its main objects is to furnish the most thor
ough course Of collegiate instruction TO young
women, at comparatively trihiug expense,
sixty dollars year covering the expense of
board, tuition, and room rent. Where have
we such an institution in all America; A
President of one the colleges of Alabama,
writing to a citizen Of this city with reference
to the above enterprise, says, "The men who
shall found such a college for young women,
will be hailed as among the highest benefac-
tors of their country"
That such college will be established,
somewhere in this Commonwealth, is now
fixed fact. Several places stand ready to con-
tribute large sums, to be allowed to furnish
home for the institution. At the present
time, we of Worcester are being asked wheth-
or or no we would like TO furnish the college
a home. As an individual, am ready TO con-
tribute my part Of the fifty thousand dollars,
necessary 20 secure the location in this city,
Second only TO State House is well. en-
dowed college, in its influence upon the char
acter and importance of a town. Such an
addition to our public institutions is most de-
Birable thing. We observe the Financial Sec
rotary busily employed around the city in pro-
curing subscriptions. Let us make his work
as light as possible, for at best it is laborious
task TO visit some twelve thousand persons.

EARLE House, PRovIDENoE.-This popular
place of public entertainment still preserves its
high reputation as "home" for the traveller
Its tables are always bountifully supplied with all
the rarest and best dishes that the markets can
supply or good cookery produce. For the com
fort Of its accommodations and the excellence of
its culinery arrangements, it is not surpassed by
any house in Providence.
Mr.. Nathan Bond, the gentlemanly agent: and
Mr. J N. Woodward, the obliging clerk are all
ways attentive to the wants of their patrons. Or
der and neatness reign throughout every depart
ment Of their establishment, and better or more
attentive servants are nowhere to be found. When
you go to Providence remember the Earle House.
This is the advice of one who has been there.

SUICIDE OF THE PAYING TELLER OF THE
MERCHANTS BANK.-Considerabl excitement
was created on Change to-day, by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Thomas Hooper, the
paying teller of the Merchants Bank, had COM
mtted suicide. Deceased was in the bank as
usual about o'clock this forenoon, and about
II oclock was found in the cellar of the bank
building, with his feet tied, and his body sus-
pended by the neck, dead. No cause is as
signed for the act.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
the deceased was embarrassed so far as his in
diyidual liabilities was concerned, and that it
is pretty well ascertaned that he had borrow.
cd the amount of $l2,G50 to square his bank
account.
1t is also stated that about 0 O'Clock this
morning, he called upon the house to which
the above sum was due, stating in effect that
he would make it right in few minutes.
Upon leaving tho house he went directly to
the basement Of the bank building and COM
mitted the rash act.

THAT FIRING.-The residents of the southerly
part of the city startled from their slumbers
on Monday night, by successive reports of can
non, and there was not a little wondering as to
the cause. Some thought that the steamer had
arrived bringing the news of peace to the East
ern world. Others, again, were of opinion that
the friends of temperance were testifying their
joy at the passage of the new liquor bill; and
others, still, supposed that the racket could in
dictate nothing less than confirmation of reports
from Boston, that Governor Gardner would veto
the law. When morning downed, it was discov-
cred that the discharges of artillery were caused
by members of the Fire Department, who took
this method to testify their JOY at the defeat
of an obnoxious member of the Board of En-
gineers
