MEDICAL CoLLEGE OF THE STATE OF
SoUTu CARoLINA.-The annual course of
lectures in this institution terminated on the
9Th instant.
The report Of the Dean is as follows The
Cas- i'll attendance on the lectures the past
seas amounted To 245 students from The
States of South Carolina, North Carolina,
'nrgia, Alabama, Florida, louisiana Mis-.
81 sippi, Virginia, and the Island Of Cu6a.
The number Of candidates for the Degree
o. Doctor in Medicine was ninety nine (99.)
and one graduate Of the Sumner Schoo. in
July last.
The conduct Of the Class has been such
as TO have merited our appreciation. OF SO
large number collected together, we have
not been apprised Of any disturbance in
which they have been concerned-of any
interruption to that harmony which should
characterize those engaged in the useful and
| laudablc pursuits of science-of any depart
ment 10 their instructors otherwise than re-
spectful and becoming.
The intelligence of the class, we have res-
son to think, equals the average of former
years. Some are graduates of literary insti-
tutions, and nearly all have received libe al
and cl..s i:al educations.
Several are and have been engaged in the
arduous and responsible duties ofinstructors,
| and there has been presented number OF
well prepared dissertations.

SIMPLICITY OF FAIru.-The late King Of
Sweden was greatly exercised upon the sub.
ject of faith some time previous to his death.
a peasant being once on a particular occa-
sion admitted to his presence, the king,
knowing him to be person of singular pie
ty, asked him, What lie took TO be the
true nature of faith ?" The peasant entered
deeply into the subject, apI much to the
kings comfort and satisfaction. The king,
at last, on his death bed, had a return of his
doubts and fears as to the safety cf his soul,
and still the same question was perpetualIy
in his mouth to those about him, "What j.
real faith 2" His attendants advised him to
send for the Archbishop of Upsal, who COM
ing to The kings bedside, began in learn.
ed and logical manner to enter into the
scholastic definition of faith. The prelate's
disquisition lasted an hour. When he had
done, the king said with much energy:
