THE MEDICAL SfuDENTs-1Hsir Passage
Through Boltimoye.-The Baltimore Sun, OF
yesterday, says:
The four O'Clock train from Philadelphia
yesterday morning brought TO the Presiden t
street station about two hundred of the seced-
ing students from the Philadelphia colleges
At 10 O'Clock Wednesday night the students of
the University held a meeting in Medicine
Hall of the University, and resolved to be
present in a body at the depot and receive
them with all due formaiity. Accordingly,
alter the hour of midnight, the students to
the number of one hundred, accompanied by
others from the aims house, and other insti-
tutions, aud full band of music. We're at the
depot awaiting the arrival of the train The
train reached the depot on schedule time. and
the cars We're boarded by the committee, con l.
sisting of Messrs. Hodges, Thompson, Stokes
and Siemmens, on the part of the Baltimore
students, who rendered 10 them a studen is
welcome, and, in the name of the faculty, a
place in the medical department of the Uni
versity of Maryland School of Medicine free
OF charge.
Several patriotic speeches were made upen
the platform by the representatives of the
bodies, and the line was formed, after some de-
lay, for the march to the Camden station Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the band
leading. discoursing the national and patriotic
airs OF the country. Most of the Philadel phia
students left for Richmond, Va, in the early
Southern train, hut number remained. the
guests Of The Baltimore students, and they
will prosecute their studies i'll this city at the
University of Maryland.
In a financial point of view Philadel phia
loses great deal both present and prospective.
70 say that three hundred Southern studen is
have abandoned her institutions of learning

that will be hard 10 overcome. Each student
upon entering paid an entrance fee ofSlOU, but
the institutions where they entered will lose
the graduation fee, (about $50 eaeh,) which
will be paid 10 the college the seceders choose
10 enter, upon the presentation OF their tickets
from the othel colleges. Considerable excite.
ment was manifested among the students OF
the University yesterday, and the students
were loud in their denunciation of the North.
ern aggressionists and in their support of the
Southern seceders.

CASE OF SCANDAL.-In Hoboken, N. Y, the
celebrated Rev. DIR. Achili has been held to
bail to answer a charge of adultery, preferred
against him by Justus Smith, proprietor
of a water-cure establishment at Bergen
Heights. l is alleged that, three months since,
engaged rooms for himself, son and young
lady, whom he introduced as Miss Bcgue,
and represented her to be governess for that
son. che doctor and his son occupied one
room. and the lady an apartment adjoining.-

her and the doctor, when the charge of adul-
terry was preferred. In defence, the latter
AYERS that Miss Bogue is his true and lawful
wife, but that for sundry reasons, il was

PAINTED AND POISONOUS TOYS AND Con-
FECTIONERY.-We have heard SO often and so
long of the poisoning of children by the me-
dunn of painted toys and confectionery, that
il is hardly worth while to cite any particular
case to form a test for what we are about TO
say; but a special instance having attracted
our attention, from the peculiar effects pro-
duced, it may serve as warning. A medical
journal tells of a child about year Old,
which was suddenly seized with commissions,
accompanied with great pain and foaming at
the mouth. A physician who was called for,
some time was puzzled at the symptoms, but
he finally found that it's distress proceeded
from sucking the painted head of a doll. An
tidotes were administered for the poison, and
the child recovered. Every parent who has
attempted to buy toys for children knows the
difficulty of obtaining SUCH as are free from
this peril. They are invariably covered with
thick, CANDY paint, which comes freely off on
the application of liquids. The young child
naturally puts the pain ted poison to its mouth,
perhaps to the great amusement of the parents
who see no harm in the smearing of its face
and hands, seemingly unconscious that they
are giving deadly dose to the little one as
arsenic or laudanum. The holidays are COM
ing, and whatever purchases are made for the
little ones, let them be made with this caution

THE CHRONICLE.


Two years have passed away since we became the
publishers and propretors of the Chronicle. We
entered upon the discharge of the duties which are
involved in the publication of newspaper with
courage and zeal that knew no flagging-our I'M
hinching determination was to send forth, regularly
70 our readers such journal as would fully meet
their wants and patronage How far we have sue
ceeded we leave an impartial public to decide
That we have made some improvement, both in
matter and typography, we modestly incline to the
belief Is true--.but only tythe has been accom-
plished of what our earnest desires would lead us
to do. We have a reading, discriminating public
to labor for and to give them paper worthy their
patronage is our greatest wish. But we must have
increase of patronage so as to increase our IA
cilites to keep pace with the growing wants Of this
progressive age Slow coaches will not do
Weekly issues will not "fl the bill'-the news
from oil sections is sent to headquarters on the
wing of lightning and the Press must keep pace
with the great rush, for newspaper readers expect
to awake and find the current news at their doors,
a review of which is necessary to whetten their
appetite for breakfast.
Our city has now attained an enviabe impor-
tance-here business relations widely extended
surrounded by country that cannot be exceled,
filed with wealthy, industrious citizens-but with
all these advantages the newspaper press is far in
the rear of those located in much smaller places
with but few of the advantages that we enjoy
Now the question is who is to blame? Where
does the fault exist, in the printer or his patrons
Semi-wcekly and Tri-weekly papers have been start
ed here but soon became extinct What was the
cause? Was it lack of energy the part of the
printer or lack of encouragement on the part of his
patrons2 Perhaps few facts will throw little
light on the subject.
We recollect the first effort made in this city to-
wards the publication of tri-weckly paper-the
publisher a man of indomtable energy, but at
the expiration of six months he found himself in
debt FIVE hundred dollars. Several efforts since
then have been made and totally failed. This
would seem to indicate lack of patronage
But you will say things have changed-we arc
more able to have these things than we were then
our population and business will justify it.
We join you in this belief and if the business
public will but do their duty, we will very soon
give them the news as often they desire it, We
will preach in accordance with the pay.
Some few philosophical citizens say to us, start
Daily or Tri-weekly, we must have it. We feel
the necessity of this thing equally us much as any
one but the aid of few leading spirits wont justify
the experiment. We must have, to a great extent,
the combined influence and patronage Of the public
AT least all those of percussion Give us this,
and we can accomplish the desired end--and this
we must have to enable us TO successfully meet the
heavy expense of such an undertaking. Shall we
have it? We leave the public to decide.
