ted:
Whereas, the Faculty Of the Medical Depart

To discharge the duties entrusted to them as to
elevate the profession to which they belong and
render the Institution over which they preside
acceptable to the community in which il Is To-
Gated, by delicate regard for their feelings and
by intoxicating rigid observance Of such regu-
iations as will secure that end

the malicious and wicked Intent of iniuring TIL IS
Institution in the estimation Of the public did
on saturday night, Jan Is. expose the remains Of
human being partially dissected, at the front
door OF said Institution, OF the most
public streets in this city; which wicked and
malicious act was well calculated TO outrage the
feelings OF our citizens and to degrade the Insti-
tuition.
And, whereas, as the Faculty Of this institu-
ton, declare TO the public that the said rem aims
did not belong TO said institution, nor were they
ever used or possessed by this College for any
purpose whatever, but that the same was b-oug bit
and deposited there, as they believe for the evil
purpose aforesaid Therefore be it
htso!rsd, That this College will give a re-
ward OF nny dollars for the arrest and cOnvic-
non OF the party ar parties who perpetrated the

Now Is THE TINE.-Every one who has a
plot of ground, however small, attached to his
dwelling, should beautify it by means of flow
ers. Even those whose yards are wholly COW
cred with bricks may surround themselves
with picturesqueness. a climbing rose whose
roots may be accommodated by removing but
single brick, may be SO trained in two sea-
sons as to cover large fence beneath a
blanket of blossoms that viii gladden. the eye
for weeks together. Many an unsightly shed
or fence might with little pains be covered
with beautiful flowers. Flower seeds may be
procured for mere trife, and therefore every
garden should present a mass of blossoms,
and every spare foot of ground attached to
each dwelling be converted into bed of
flowers.

A MAD PoET's WT.-Everybody remeu-
bers NJ Donald Clarke, who was so well known
i'll New York, few years since, as the ssMad
poet" During the last year of his life,
Clarke was made free of the Astor House table
and oftentimes this errant man of genius could
be seen accepting its hospitslities when other
doors were closed on his fallen fortunes. Es-
cry one knew Clarke by sight; and one day
while quietly taking his dinner, two South
erners seating themselves opposite to him,
commenced conversation intended for the ears
of Clarke. One said
swell! have now been in New York two
months, and have seen all wish to see with
one exception
ssAhl' said the other, sswhat is that 7,'
ssM MDonaldCiarke, the great poet ''respond-
ed No. l, with great emphasis.
Clarke raised his eyes slowly from his plate,
and seeing the attention of the table was on
him, stood up, placing his hand upon his heart
and bowing with great gravity to the Southern
gentlemen said:
81 am M'Donald Clarke, the great poet''
The Southerner started in mock surprise,
gazed at him in silence for a few moments,
and then, amidst an audible litter of the COM
pany drew from his pocket quarter dollar,
and laying it before Clarke, still looked at
him without smile Clarke raised the quar-
ter in silence and dignity, bestowed it in bis
pocket, drew thence a shilling, which he de-
posted before the Southerner, with these
words:
s'Children half price,
The litter changed to a roar, and the South
erners were missing instanter.

a HAY FIELD ANECDoTE.-There is a good
story which may have been heard in more than
one hay field last summer. We heard it one
day while on visit to the country. We went
out to show some men how to s.pitch 20 we
had failed and wilted down under haycock,
and lay flushed and tanning the glow and sweat
from our features in comfortable position,
when one of the jolly hay makers related the
anecdote of old man who was always brag-
ging how folks used to work in his young days,
and challenged his two sons together TO pitch
on load of hay as fast as he could load it.
The challenge was accepted, and the hay
wagon driven around, and the trial commenc-
ed. For some time the old man held his own
very creditably, calling out tauntingly,
ssMore hay more hay ~
Thicker and faster it came, whole cocks at
a time, cloud after cloud overwhelming him.
The old man was nearly covered; still he kept
crying, s'more hay more hay - until strug-
Cling to keep on top of the disordcred and
ill-arranged heap, 1t began first to roll, then
to slide, at last then it went from the wagon
and the old man with it,
'sWhat are you down here for ~ cried the
boys.
81 came down after hay,'' answered the old
man stoutly.
Which was literal fact; he had come down
after the wagon-load, which had to be pitched
on again rather more deliberately.

Four BROTHERS CoNvIGTED.-Last week, in
the Crawford (Indiana) Circuit Court, at Leav-
enworth, Jackey Prather, Rensselaer, Prather,
Pleasant Prather, and William Prather, four
brothers, were convicted and sentenced to the
Penitentiary for two years each for horse
stealing. One other brother, Thomas, who was
also indicted, died some time ago at the jail
in LeavenwOrth. Jonathan, another brother,
was also indicted. but has not been arrested.
The father and still another son are under in
dictmen; in the Perry Circuit Court for the
same offence-the father being now in Jail 1T
Rome awaiting his trial. This family, consist
ing of father and seven sons, have but few
equals. They have resided for long time in
the upper part of Perry county, in secluded
spot, and have been suspected of dishonest
practices but from their number and the ma
liciousness of their character, the citizens of
that portion of the country were deferred from
instituting legal inquiries.

SUMMER.

Like a maiden lightly laden,
Siken Summer sweet aud fair,
with the flowers wreathed by hours
In her flowing golden hair,
Comes In shadows o'er the meadows
strewing sunshine everywhere
Winds arc blowing bland and sowing
Life and fragrance on the breeze.
Or a-Mayiag, blithely playing
Hide and seek me through the trees
Or srs skipping light and tripping
Hinsome dances DER the seas.
Father, mother, sister, brother,
Youthful, aged, rich and poor,
Gerrily weaving songs, are leaving
gloomy room and dusky door.
For the fountains in the mountains
With their giadness running e'er.
What feeling must be stealing
Through the city, painting clay,
IA the singing birds are fiinging
Hints about the fields away,
Who're the showers clothe the flowers
In the velvet robe and gay.
Day resuming life is pluming
Giant pinicns in the sky,
So that slumber shall not cumber
Life and action till it die;
Wsking every great endeavor
To the deed sublime and high
Day reclining is resigning
Life and action TO the night,
While the paling moon is falling
Ger the valleys sweet and light.
So the spirit cannot bear it,
But in drsamland takes 3 flight.
Liyia moonlight, pallid moonlight,
Spreads sheet upon the plain,
While tho cleaving brooks are weaving
Threads of silver with strain
OF rich laughter babbling after
Lovers happy in their pain.

THE oBERL1s SLAVE CASE.

The trial of Bushnell, charged, in connec
! tion with thirty-six other citizens OF Oberlin
| Ohio, with the rescue of slave, has resulted
| in verdict of guilty. This is the first OF the
trials under the writs of indictment found
against the parties implicated. His sentence
has not yet been pronounced. The trials OF
the other thirty-six will be proceeded with
Immediately. AS there is widespread in
terest in this case, we subioin resume of the
facts out OF which the trials have grown -
In January, 1856, as is alleged, John G.. Ba-
con, of Mason county, Kentucky lost by flight
a slave man and slave woman named John
and Dinah, and another farmer in the same
neighborhood lost slave man named Frank.
During the last summer, one Anderson Jen-
nings, neighbor of John q. Bacon, visited
Oberlin (Ohio) for the now expressed purpose
of looking for still another slave, one who had
fed from him as Administrator of a certain
estate. Whilst in Oberlin, early in September
or late in August of the year 1858, Jennings
wrote to Bacon that he had discovered the
slaves John and Frank in that village, and re-
quested Bacon to send him witness and
power of attorney, in order that he might vim
dieate the honor and dignity of Mason county,
and place negro in the hands of Bacon and
a fee of FIVE hundred dollars in his own pock-
eft. Bacon executed the power of attorney
and sent it by one Mitchell who states his
occupation as that of ga spcculator." Upon
receiving this document, Jennings repaired to
Columbus, procured warrant which the Dis
trict Attorney does not claim to have been
valid, placed it in the hands of United States
Marshall Lowe, of the Southern District of
Ohio, and the two proceeded TO Oberlin. At
ter lettering about the village some two OF
three days, during which time they kept their
mission almost profound secret, Jennings
bribed boy to decoy the alleged fugitive
slave into the country where Lowe and Mitch
ell, aided by Kentuckian named David, by
force of arms seized and conveyed him to
Wellington, arriving there about noon, and
halting for the purpose OF taking the cars
South at FIVE O'Clock in the evening. When
five O'Clock arrived-and with it the cars-the
parties preferred remaining in the attic room
where they had fortified themselves, to at
tempting to pass large conconrse of suppos-
ed s.felons'' assembled in the vicinity. Soon
after this, the slave $50 called9 became a free
man once more, and walked erect from that
attic room in company with sundry ssfelons."
Numerous ssfelons,' (thirty- seven, as we have
stated were arrested and indicted for viola
ting the 'sAct of Congress providing for the
capture and return of fugitives from service
or labor,'' and are now on trial.

How THE BEAN CLIMBS THE PoLE.-Profes'
sor Brewer, of Washington College, Pa., com
municates to The .4merican Journal OF Science
and .4rfs the result of some experiments made
by him on climbing vines-the hop, the Lima
bean. and the morning glory. He finds tha'
they will climb around a transparent glass pipe
lust as well as anything else, and that tnes
are most ardent in their embraces when the
mole IL warmer than the surrounding air. Du-
ring the day the vine is attracted towards the
light. but at night, and especially on COO
nights, it turns to the pole. de learned, also
that the color OF the pole makes no dinelence
;nS;ca ;nJ against any shade. The element Of
constancS 5T is very largely developed, the vine

stronger ro tendency to wind around 1t than Il
did before TO reach 1t.
