SOUTHERN UEIvERsIrY.-We learn that
the Convention Of Bishops Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, recently assembled at
Montgomery, Ala, selected Sewanee. in
Grundy county, Tenn, a. the site for the
institution. IL 10 in the region of the Cum
herland mountain, some is miles from Win.
chester, and about from the line of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. It 10
understood that donation of twenty thou
sand ncres Of land around the proposed site
was made. As 10 the valre of the land we
are not informed; but If we nre not mistaken
In the region, there is not soil enough on q
hundred acres Of Il to raise provender suffi-
oient to winter asnow bird, and FOR the timber,
II would take three ofthe largest trees on the
whole trnct spiced to make a chair post
There are, however, valuable coal banks in
the neighborhood, and the location 10 high
and in a pure and healthy atmosphere. We
learn that Cleveland. Bradley county, was
the prominent contestant with the point Sc
lected for the location, and offered very libe-
raj inducements. Chattanooga and Ben LON.
mond, Tenn, Atlanta, Ca, and Huntsville,
Ala, were also contestants. But the ques-
ton Of location was, comparatively, nothing;
and that point now being settled, we trust
to see the enterprises grand and important
one-successfully carried out.

MrErISc OF CoscREss.-The Thirty Fifth
Congress meets next Monday, the 9TH inst.
The Washington papers state that many
members have already arrived. Beyond
question, the session will be more than ordi.
narily important, as there is already cut out,
the Kansas business, the Mormon war, and
the currency question. In addition to which,
the late demonstrations of the foreign popu.
lation Of the larger northern cities caDno,
fail to elicit the attention Of Congress, and
to impress upon the rejecting members Of
all parties the necessity for the enactment Of
measures, stringent enough at least to pre-.
venth the growth Of the evil. The message
Of President Buchanan, indicating the policy
Of the Administration, 10 looked for with
much anxiety. We shall lay il before ouI
readers 40 early MS possible.

RDANeERous CuRIosiTY.-An acci.
dent which though comic enough,
might easily have ha tragical end
ing, occurred the othel day at Mad
ame Tussaud's Exhibition.
A medical student, examining the
guillotine in the chamber Of horrors,
took it into his head that the sort of
yoke which lite down on the shoulders
to hold him in his place, would not
be sufficient to eonfns u person who
struggled. His curiosity on this
point led him to watch till the place
was empty, md actually put himself
il, letting down the yoke. He soon
found that he was quite unable to lift
It, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp axe which was
sus st,ended over the neck could not be
firmly fixed, or it would not iall las it
doesj with a touch. He vas afraid
to struggle, lest the shaking should
bring it down and at once deposit
his head in the basket of saw dust be
low him, into which hi. eyes were OF
necessity steadily looking. Having
staid some time in this plight, he was
overjoyed to hear the approach of a
visitor, whom he suppliantly implor.
cd to release him l'm thinking,
said the gentleman IA Scotch visitor
to the metropolis) to his wife, Pm
thinking lie must be hired to show
how the thing acts, and | think we'd
better not interfere So the luckless
student was left till Madame Tussand
came in, and made fast the axe before
releasing him The axe has been re-
moved and laid by the side to prevent
future accident.

ny SANDERS & BROTHER.

FlRE AND Loss OF LrFE,--On Sun
day morning last, at about one o'clock
a small house owned and occupied
by widow woman by the name Of
Hennessy, was burnt to the ground
and little son Of hers between four
and five years Of age perished in the
flames. The evening previous, Mrs.
Hennessy went to a distant part Of
the city to attend a party, leaving her
child alone, locked in the house with
light burning.
The supposition is that the child
must have set his bed, or something
else on fire by moving around, per.
haps in search ofhis mother. An in
quest was held on Sunday, the jury
returning a verdict that the child
came to his death through the care.

A WESTERN WoMAN.-The st. Paul
(Minnssota) Times thus notices the
arrival in that city Of lady from Su-
perior:
The estirnable lady of one Of our
first citizens came through last even
ing from Superior, and, during the en-
tire drive Of three hundred miles, the
thermometer ranged from 10 to 40 deg
below zero. Her external dress was
a pair OF buffalo boots, a buffalo over
coat, a large otter cap, and pair Of
tur pantaloons, into which she intro
duced herself, and enjoyed, we are
assured, pleasant and comfortable
trip. Let our territorial stage drivers
be cautious lest, among a load Of bar.

A RoBbER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
The following singular case OF rob-
berry is reported in the Bordeaux In

"A woman employed as honsekeep-

francs. A peasant employed to take

Accordingly, a few months ago, the
owner of the chateau and all the ser,
wants being absent, he got the woman
on some pretext to vlsis him az a
room which he occupied in one Of the
dependencies of the chateau. After .
while he locked the door, and with
the most dreadful threats declared
that he would murder her nnless q e
stoace gave him the 500 francs. The
woman being seriously alaraed, took
him to her chambcr, and gave MIN
