the building committee: 'The old walls will be re-
tanned, but the exterior and interior of the new

old building. There will be no dormitories in the
College, the Faculty having recently purchased
house which affords ample accommodations for
students.
The interior of the College edifce will be conye
nent. There will be six large lecture rooms, each
opening into office for professor, and lahora
tory which will present all the modern improve
ments. There will be spacious room for the
library, and two splendid society halls. The old
chapel will be but little altered There will he no
necessity for disturbing the remains of the ilnstr;

and the flames did not far impair the strength Of
any OF the outside walls to render them unfit for
use; hence, the identity of the old building will he

ton OF the past lost to old William and MARY The
efect OF the fire will be only to make the appliance
OF the College adequate to the demands of the day
This beautiful building will undoubtedly be in read

The LA PLATA THE HIGHWAY TO PERU.-Capt
Page in his work upon the Valley of the La Plata,
mentions that Sebastian Cabot, who first explored
that river in 1927 believed that it was the nearest
avenue to the fabously rich mines of Peru, and
only the want of means, the jealousy of the conque-
rors, and the avarice of the merchants of Seville and
Lima prevented his ascending higher and solving
the problem. Capt Page says sit may be among
the developments of the nineteenth century to prove
that Cabots conjectures were correct. The Para
quay may yet be established as the most direct
communication between Europe and the finest dis

that in the sale of tickets Eastward from St. Louis
they will maintain fully the prices established by
said Convention.
Resotred, That all freight shipped from the

ted after the 18th instant, at the place shipment
shall be charged the rates as agreed to above.
After adopting the above Preamble and Resolu-
tlons, the members of the Convention entered into
a generel discussion of their mutual interests
From the style and freedom of the argument and
the general bearing of the members it was evident
that they meant all they sad and were fully deter
mined to carry out their resolves to the letter
The Convention adjourned to be called together
again at any time on the request of either of the
parties represented, the President being empower
ed to act in the premises.
The Gazette says:
The influence of this Convention, it is to be ap-
pretended, will have about as much effect as the
