by Legislature.
Even should the election be carried into Con-
gIes, it Is not the first time that Congress
has elected the President. In 1901. Jeffer-
son was elected by the House of Representatives,
and again in 1924. Mr.. Adams was elected by
the same body. From an account of those cleo
tions which We find in use of our exchanges. we
quote
There have been already two elections of President
by the House-one Of them in 1901, and the other in
1925. On the first occasion, Mr.. Jefferson and Mr..
Burr had an equal number of votes, (there being
then no distinction on the ballots between the two
othcers,) and the election therefore devolved upon the
House The contest CONFUSED the country and pro-
ducei an amendment 10 the Constitution. Some Of
the scenes, rs they appear in the histories and CORES
pondence Of the time, 1t may be useful now to recall.
About the middle Of December. 1900, the leaders of
the Republican and Federal parties knew the result
in the electoral colleges Both sides were disappoint-

The Senate aud House were to meet (by law on
the 1lth February, 1901. to count the votes. Before
meeting the Senate. the House adopted =. eight rules

intent, As Nh. Randolph. said. TO starve or worry the
doubtful member. On the 18th Of February, 1901,
after 4 contest Of 60 days, Mr.. Jefferson was elected
by one majority.
In 1924, General Jackson, Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Crawford were the candidates, aud though the first
had the largest number, he had not q majority Of the
electoral votes. The House proceeded to choose one
Of the three, and chose Mr.. Adams on the first day.
elimination and recrimination followed. Loud COM
plants were made that the candidate having the lesser
number should be chosen, and IA violent political
struggle was the result.
Such has been the experience Of the House in the
only instances in which ii has been called upon TO
make choice Of a President. Those were, however,
its earlier and better days. \ great change has
come over the body, in the six and thirty years which

The Rev. Mr., Storrs Of Cincinnati, in the
course Of a recent lecture delivered before the
ladies Of the Painesville Female Academy
spoke as follows of female education
The speaker laid down several PROPOSE
tions in regard 70 the pcceSsity of female
culture-tLat IL should be full and thor

collegiate education by our females
should be such as to accommodate the mid
ding and poorer classes, and bring It with
in the reach of their means. He said that
these positions had been sufficiently dis
cussed and were fully settled in the public
mind.
The speaker here pOid respectful AVID

Lyon, the founder-not only of the Mount
Holyoke School-but the originator and
mother Of many more how seatterd through
the land. That utter oil the efforts made
to cultivate the female mind, there bad al.
ways been the favorable results anticipated,
aud that an evident disappointment had
been felt; that the foundations laid 10 early
life through the instruction and discipline
received at these Institutes had not been
built upon and improved IN after life, by fur

that her mind had, apparently reached a
