Letter from the late Owen Loveioy.

Everything from the pen or life of this dis
tinguished patriot and christian, assumes a
new and inward interest since his transfer to
better and higher state of existence. The
Boston Transcript is permitted to publish the
following extracts from letter from this gen.
tleman, dictated, it will be perceived on Wash
ington's birthday. They will interest our read
ers as showing that their author was not I'M
mindful OF the peaceful future but saw in the
present strife the way to hasten its coming.
They also give glimpse of the man, behind
this seeming patison and the high motives by
which he was conscienciously governed. In
stead of being the bigoted fanatic, idolizing
one sectional idea, as many represented him.
he unconsciously reveals himself in these
lines as the liberal and generous and pract-
cal philanthropist

Yisibly affected the Colleges and other institu-
tions of learning throughout our land than any
other branch OF our civil pursuit. The effects
of it are seen in the diminished number of
students and the restlessness of the remaining
few. Our ranks are very much reduced, and
undoubtedly large bounty for recruits Ito
serve for four years. would be paid by the
Faculty. Nobly have the Waterville students
responded to the call Of our country, and our
roll of honor includes many brave and gal
liant soldier. The majority are filing high
offices, and in no case have they proved un-
worthy of the honor conferred upon them.
The officers of the Faculty have been very
successful in canyassing for pecunisry aid

parties. Strenuous exertions are being made
to secure large permanent fund, and there
is every prospect Of speedy success. Quite
number of scholarships have been presented
to the College. the benefit of which is given
TO needy and deserving students.
