The UNDERGRADUATE.-Se days ago
we noticed the establishment ola new Quarter
ly Magazine, to be conducted by an association
of collegiate and professional students in the
United States and Europe. Since that time
its plans have been fully matured, and the
first number has been published. 1t is de-
signed to reflect the best thoughts and most
useful experiences of the principal seats of
classical and professional learning, and ''to re-
cord the history, promote the intellectual i'm
provement, elevate the moral aims, lberalize
the views, and unite the sympathies of stu
dents and their institutions throughout the
world" The suggestion of such work has
naturally awakened some distrust among lit
erary men, and the friends of the best culture
fearing that, if il survived the first expert
ment, it would become the avenue of imma-
ture reflections and trivial histories, and that
broken columns which cover the field of stu
dent effort and ambition. Its projectors, how.
ever, appear to have taken especial pains to
protect their work against both misfor.
tunes, and have united ia its active
management and support the principal col.
legiate and professional schools in the Uni
ted States, and secured favor in the lead
ing European universities. 1t is proposed to
give the magazine an educational and histor
ical, more than a dstinctively literary charac
ter, and contemplates in its plan whatever i.
especially interesting and valuable to students
as a class, and is promotive of liberal studies
In this number the plan is faithfully observed
and if carried forward in the succeeding mum
bers of the Quarterly, cannot fail to do admi
rable service in the yet unoccupied field which
il has chosen, and to commend itself to the
support of students and friends of scholarship
everywhere. The introduction, setting forth
its history, its management, and its hopes, wa:

These three are Stephen A. Douglas, jefferson

CHURCH DIFFICULTY IN WEBsTER.--Two
weeks ago, at meeting of the members of
the Congregational Church, a call was extend
ed to Rev MIR. Kendall, as stated in our paper
two weeks since, to fill vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Rev. Mr.. Moronp.
Last Monday evening week a meeting of the
Ecclesiastical Society was held, who refused
to concur with the church, by vote of rs to
10. AS we understand it, the Ecclesiastical
Society is the body corporate Tor the transac-
ton of certain church business, and without
their concurrence no action of the church can
be legal or valid. The Ecclesiastical Society
is not composed necessarily of church men,
bers, but may consist of those who habitually
attend the services of the church, and who
may be supposed to have an interest in such
matters as supplying the pulpit, &c. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the action of the Ec
cleslastical Society shall harmonic with that
OF the church-the interests of the latter being
the controlling power in all movements of the
former. These two elements of the worship
ping public rarely clash; perhaps from the
TACT that in most cases very large majority of
the members of the Ecclesiastical Society are
also members of the church. In some instan-
ces, however, these two interests conflict
such is the case with the Congregational
Church and Society at this place at the pres
ent time. We suppose nothing can be done
until the opposing elements shall be harmonic
ed. Mr.. Morong's resignation has been con.
dtionally Withdrawn but the term for which
he was originally employed will expire on the
first of April, SO that unless some concerted
action can be effected by the church and So
ciety before that time, they will beagan with
out stated preaching. - Webster Times, 23d

CASE OF HENRY D. SToNE.-In the Court
of Insolvency, Friday morning, Charles Dew
ems, Esq, in behalf of the assignees of Henry
D. Stone, moved a postponement of the cleo
ton of assignees, while the subject of confirm
ing past legal proceedings in his case was
pending in the Legislature. The court Judge
Mattoon) decided that the probability of legis-
lative interference was too remote to justify
postponement and he should therefore order
the choice at this time in accordance with the
wishes of great majority of the creditors who
were present. Messrs. E. B. Stoddard and J.
H. Clarke were elected assignees by nearly
unanimous vote.

FooT LIGHTS NEEDED IN MECHANICS
HALL,-It has been often remarked that the
lighting up of our magnificent hall ought to
include lighting up the speaker, and it has
been matter of astonshment to many that
foot lights are not used on.the platform, where
they are often so much needed. But the sub
ject is well presented in a communication in
the Worcester Palladium of the present week
We copy an extract from the letter of the fair
correspondent =
''And how did she look 2" is of course the
question when one of Grace Greenwood's pop
ularity as an author "speaks in public on the
stage" Mechanics Hall was brilliantly light
en-, as for a festival, but we doubt if fifty per-
sons could have conscientiously answered the
question. We saw a lady attired Gin perfect
taste, as competent critic in such matters
avowed, but farther deponent saith not. The
absence of foot lights, or their substitutes,
renders it impossible to obtain a view of any
speaker or performer upon the stage of Me-
chanics' Hall. This fact has been in the way
of the enjoyment of many an audience, yet we
doubt if many have ever discovered it. In
lighting theater a stronger light is thrown
upon the stage, and so upon the faces of the
actors, than upon the audience, and perform
er may hold the entire house spell bound by
one glance of his eye. But our lecturers, &C.,
are without this assistance in too many halls
Beecher, Curtis, and Holmes wear wells of
shadow, and whatever fire may CLEAN from
the eye, satire curl the lip, it is all lost upon
their audience An evil so easily corrected
should not longer pass unnoticed. A dozen
foot lights would suffice to inform us whether
lecturer is asleep or not, and whether prima
donna have black or blue eyes, or whether,
indeed, she have any eyes at all. STELLA.
