Dickinson Seminary.

This Institution, winch had excited
considerable interest from the fear
that it might pass from the present
control. and be converted TO other
purposes, is now safe and secure az a
Seminary for the education Of the
youth Of both sexes.
Rev. John II I.Dashiell retiring Prin-
cipal of the Seminary, came TO his po-
silion with the reputation of ripe
scholarship and rare administrative
skill. The success which has attend
cd his administration is the best evil
dence that the reputation was based
on solid attainment. In obedience
to the convictions of his own judg-
ment and following the leading Of his
own heart he rclircs from the respon-
sibilitics of the Principalship to the
more congenial employment Of the pas
loral work.
Mr.. Mitchell is a man both well
and fayorably known throughout the
bounds of East Baltimore Conference,
Of which he is an active and honored
member. As man of cultivated and
comprehensive intellect, and capable
Christian temper, combined with su-
perior Judgment and character, his
election by the stock owners Of Will
Transport Dickinson Seminary to
this responsible position, can not fail
TO give general satisfaction, and will
greatly tend to pcrpetuate the conf
dence of our public in the Institution.

rs.Pubilshers-I will tax your kindness
for small space in the Daily Record. wish
to say word in regard to The accommodations
for the Conference IN Lewisburg. The citizens
generally have displayed very commendable
l,beralny IN throwing open their houses for
the entertainment of the Ministers. | have
never seen a more generous hospitality on
similar occasion. Ideslre, however, Ia refer
especially TO the accommodations for Bishop,
Secretaries, and Reporters. The extensive
platform, large and convenient desks and
tables for wiring purposes, Afford the finest
facilities for the Officers. There is also IN
the Conference room a Post Office, through
which the Ministers receive their letters reg
ularly without the slightest Inconvenience. All
praise is due Rev. Tho.M M.Reese, the excellent
pastor Of the II. E.church Of Lewisburs, and
his Official Members, for these complete
arrangements.

WALKING ON THE WATER.-The Alta of Oct.
9th says: Last evening Henry R. Rowland
accomplished the very remarkable feat of
walking half mile out into the bay from
North Beach, with his newly invented and
curious water shoes, and will tomorrow
repeat the experiment. yesterday visited
his workshop, on Lombard street, near
Powell, where he has constructed his shoes,
and where at the time of our VISIT a few
extra touches were being given to them
preparatory to the next trial.
These shoes consist of a couple Of boat
like looking affairs, decked over, and sharp
at each end, like a surf or whale boat.
They are about eight feet long by eighteen
inches in width, and about six inches deep.
Near the centre of each is hole, as for
mast, large enough for mans foot and leg
to enter and with a canvas bootleg,
extending upwards. The place for the feet
below, through these holes, is like any
moderate sized shoe or boot The two shoes
are placed parallel to each other, and are
connected by sliding runners, which travel
across the edge or gunwales of the shoes,
thus allowing them to slip backwards and
and forth past each other, but always in a
perfect parallel line, the two being about six
inches apart. 1t is easy to see that without
some contrivance beneath the water to
prevent the backward motion of one foot,
as the other was being advanced, the walker
would make no progress at all, any more
than a company would in s;marking time
To ohyiate this difficulty, Mr.. Roland has
invented a series of paddles, or rather
'feathers," as he calls them, like the blades
of an oar, which can be dropped or gathered
up like a ducks leg, at pleasure. Thus
when the right foot is being Sided forward,
these feathers are snugly gathered up under
the bottom of the shoes, while those of the
left foot drop like centre boards placed
athwartshps, and prevent that foot from
slipping backwards. Then when the left
foot is to be advanced, the walker holds
water with his right, and so on.
His progress is about at the rate of four
miles an hour, and the motion is not only
quite regular but perfectly secure Each
shoe has a little rudder, of which the tiller
ropes pass up to the hands of the walker
thus enabling him to go IN any direction he
may chose. Out of the centre of each shoe
rises an iron stanchion between which
stretches little wooden seat, used when in
a fair wind; and If the water-walker chooses
to change leg power for that Of Eolus, he
hoists sail about eight feet "square," (or
wide. and about three feet high. Mr. Roldnd
is Indifferent as to the kind of weather iu
which his experiments are made. He can
walk in ever so high sea, and make good
headway. All he wants is plenty of sea
room. And not vary bad surf so as is 4
break over and wash him off his pins. He
intends soon to cross over from North Beach
to Alcatraz Island, and, being quite
sportsman, he will henceforth walk about
the bay, from place to place, in search OF his
game.

pg~It is against the law to swim dogs On
Sunday in the Frog Pond at Boston. This
is not generally known, and one Sabbath
morning distinguished military gentleman,
who was walking on the Boston Common,
was reprimanded by a policeman, because
he suffered his dog to enter the water
"There," said Dogberry, 'don't you see
the sign-'Dogs are not allowed in the water
on Sunday p"
eyes" replied the Col, nbut that's id
illiterate dog. He can't read"
The policeman was confounded, and it was
not till one of the detectives pointed it out
to him, that he could see the point of the
military mans joke.
