place on a picnic excursion to Lake
Bombasine. The day was a delightful
one, and they had delightful time
The dolngs consisted in part OF sailing
on the lake, music, vocal and instru-
mental, declarations by the little folks
and speeches by several old persons.
Last, though not the least feature in the
programme, was good dinRer, an arti-
Gle that is usually very acceptable on
such occasions. At about o'clock p.

the same order as it came in the morn

gala day to all concerned, and pleasure
had borne undiSputed sway.
The old Medical College building for
two weeks past has been dragging its
slow length from its old position on
Main Street to It's new location on Semi
nary Hill. This edifice was erected In
1920. The institution was founded by
Drs. Gridley and Woodward. Medical
lectures were given in this school for
more than 40 years. For part of the
time two courses a year were delivered.
From fifteen hundred to two thousand
students had conferred upon them the
degree Of Doctor of Medicine. From
ten to fifty year were sent forth into the
world to practice their profession, and
many of them are among the most emf
nent physicians and professors in med.
ical institutions in the country. It was
incorporated by the State Legislature in
1918, and lectures were discontinued in
1862, and have never been resumed since.
The following men were Presidents OF
the college during its existence: Jo-
seph Gallup, NJ. D., William Tully, NJ.
D., Theodore Woodward, NJ. D., Horace
Green, M. D., Joseph Perkins, NJ. D., M.
Goldsmith, NJ D., Rev. Willard Child,
D. D., Chester Spencer, Esq. All but
the two last named held professorships
in different departments, some OF them
for many years.

Teton, son Of Mr.. Clark Stevens, and a
graduate of the Castleton Medical Col

A CHEMICAL SPECTATOR RUINED
The New York correspondent OF the
Providence Journal relates the follow
ing melancholy Incident o, metropolitan
life;
"While descending rom the upper
end of the city this morning, found in
the cars an aged clergyman, long since
retired from the pulpit, but who recol-
lect as one OF the most popular preach
ers of other days, As | sat beside him
inquired after several clergymen with
whom was formerly acquainted,
Among the rest was Rev. Mr.. -.
when / last saw him said the aged
clergyman, in response to my inquiry,
he was quite well. His departure was
most unfortunate and melancholy You
amaze me- said /, pray, sir, what do
you mean by his departure p Why, he
was dismissed, returned my aged friend,
have you not heard of it?
On my replying in the negative, and
continuing my expressions of surprise,
the old man related the following mar
rative: The Rev. Mr.. -, as you
know, succeeded his father in the pull

lest congregation in the city, of his sect,
representing from five to six millions of
dollars. They adopted the son as their
pastor before the death of his father,
and shOwered on him every benefit favor
and good Office. His salary was seven
thousand dollars year, and the gifts
of his Pensioners, together with church
fees, would probably amount to as much
more. He was beloved and honored by
everybody. Two years ago his father
died and left him, his only son, sixty
thousand dollars.
Two years and half ago, the Rev.
Mr.. - was induced by a friend to
purchase a few shares in railway stocks
in Wall street; he was lucky at the out
set; was induced to dip further; was
again lucky, and luck led him to ruin.
From that time up to about year ago,
he kept his Wall street broker employ
ed, with varied success. From dealing
in stocks he went into gold gambling
the end OF that need hardly be related.
He soon found himself not only bank
rupt, but he had sacrificed his mothers
estate, had involved his wife's father to
the tune of one hundred thousand dol
lars, and had rendered two or three of
his wealthy parishioners liable to the
loss of sums varying from one hundred
and fifty thousand to forty thousand
dollars.
He now found himself but little bet
ter than beggar in the world. The
proper ecclesiastical authority inter-
fered, took the matter up and manifested
great indignation. was selected as a
go-between for both parties. accepted
the office; l found the authorities unan-
imous against the Rev. Mr.. - and
advised him to resign, as it would be
idle and absurd to contend with that

sided consigned to poverty. A few
months ago, few of the Rev. Mr.. IS

him to quit his native land for q while

10 Provisional Gov. Johnson, in his
speech at Savannah, made this argu-
ment for the validity of emancipation by
the Presidents proclamation
g 1t was war power, and by virtue
of this power to command the armies
of the United States, he issued that
proclamation as rule of war, for the
purpose of suppressing the rebellion.
The slaves, upon the surrender of our
armies, were captured legally, if not &C.
tually,-in law it makes no difference
whether they were actually captured or
not,-and tonight, by virtue of that
proclamation, they stand emancipated,
L state this to be my opinion as a law
yer; and as a lawyer, 1 state that in nv
opinion, such will be the decision of the
Supreme Court. | could wish myself
that such had not been the case, and
that the change had not been thus VIC
lentiy and abruptly made. But slavery.
in any event, is gone, and gone forever
and have no tears to shed or lamenta-
tions to make over it's departure"
