ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

A wealthy Christian gentleman, of this
city, who is well known as among the fore
most in every good enterprise, Christopher
r. Robert, Esq, the founder of Robert Col
lege at Constantinople, which he endowed
with his own funds, has, for some months
been in East Tennessee for the purpose of
establishing college for the education of
the white children of the South. He has
purchased the whole of Lookout Mountain,
the scene of one of the most hotly contested
and important battles in the late war; a
splendid site for such an institution, afford
ing a splendid view of the Valley of the
Tennessee. He has also purchased some
four or five hundred acres on Missionary
Ridge, together with the Government build
ings, erected at an expense of Sl50,000, and
either or both sites will be occupied as may
seem most desirable.
The buildings already there will accom-
modate four or five hundred pupils, and ar
rangements have been made for opening the
institution on the 10th of MAY next. 1t
will be under the care of Rev. Edward Will
liams, a graduate of Yale College and of
Princeton Theological Seminary, who is
scholar and 4 clergyman of experience. Mr..
Roberts having retired from active business
with an ample fortune, is devoting himself,
quietly but efficiently, to the work of doing
good, not only with his money, but by per-
sonal offort He is one of those good and
wise men who choose to be executors of their
own estates, and thus secure the appropria-
tion of the funds in the way that will accom-
plish most for the ends he has in view

STARTLING SCENE AT A FAIR.

The Rochester (N. " Democrat says:
Last Wednesday evening a fair was held
for some purpose at the large hall of Ben
netts Block, and matters were progressing
quite pleasantly, when the ladies and gen.
tlemen present were startled by the appear
ance in their midst of wild looking figure,
simply and airly attired in a cotton shirt,
and holding in one of its hands lighted
candle. This terrific apparition advanced
with the most determined gravity of aspect
and halting in the centre of the floor in
quired in a sepulchral voice: whats
agoin' on here% The question dispelled
the paralysis Of awe which the specter had
at first inspired. A modest CONSERVATION
began to pervade the feminine portion of
the company, who could not fail to perceive
that the single garment worn by the in
truder was of remarkably brief proportions; !;
while feeling Of wrathful indignation took
possession of the sterner sex The fellow
was seized and incontinently hustled out of
the hall, despite his querulous remonstrances,
and on investigating the circumstances it
was discovered that he was a tipsy tailor on
the verge Of delirium tremens, who occupied
a room on the floor below, and whose slum-
bers had been disturbed by the festivities.
He was properly taken care of.
