The female Washington Territory
emigration scheme hangs fire. The
steamer Continental, which for some
time has been lying in New York har-
Dor receiving her'precious freight, has
not yet departed. A large number of
young women have abandoned the pur-
pose of going. The departure is fixed
for sometime this week. At present
there are between two and three hum
dred of the young adventurers in the
city awaiting the departure Of the ves-
sci which is to bear them to that "hap-
py land, far, far away" which they
hope to find ar FL Dorado of matrimo-
ny and felicity. A majority of these
candidates for matrimony are the
daughters and widows of New Eng
land soldiers who lost their lives fight
ing for the old flag. Many of them
are said to be accomplished and beau.

Encounter with a Panther.

A young man named Hill, of South
Granville, Washington county, N. T.,
had singular encounter with a pan
ther, the other day, while hunting for
squirrels. His dog began barking at
the mouth of q cave and came out of
the opening bleeding, as il having had
a tussel with some animal. Hill de-
termined to "see it out $50 he pro-
cured a lantern and axe, and re-enter-
ed the cave. For fifteen feet he had
to crawl. Then he was able to stand
up. He proceeded fifty feet further
when he saw the eyes Of an animal
glaring upon him. Hill poked the gun,
which the stranger seized in his mouth;
he fired I; the animal made rush, but
q blow with the hatchet finished him.
The question then was how to get him
put. Dragging was practicable until
he got to the narrow spot, when he
had to call for help, and it required five
Or six to pull the captor and captive to
the open air. It proved, to the great
of Mr.. Hill, to be pan
ther six feet long. The hunter said he
would rather fight rebels than under
take another such q job.

Agricultural Farm and College.

From p. Melendy, superintendent
and Secretary, we learn that the Irus-
tees of the State Agricultural College
Farm will meet at the Capitol on the
9th of January for the election OF
officers, and to hear the reports OF the
Building and Executive Committees,
and also the Report of the Superin-
tendent and Secretary The founda-
ton of the College building is COM
plete, ready for the brick superstruct-
ure in the Spring, or as early as SUI
ficient appropriation shall be made oy
the General Assembly for the continu-
ance of the work. About eight hun
dred thousand brick of most excellent
quality were burned on the farm last
season. and will be ready for use when
needed.-Des Moines Register.
When the General Assembly, two
years ago, appropriated $4,000 to the
Agricultural College, the parties inter-
ested promised that with this amount
of money they would erect and COM
plete one wing of the College building,
and in that they would put the school
in operation at once, in order both to
educate the farmers boys and save the
lands granted by Congress to the State
for the benefit Of the College. Accord
ing to the terms of the grant, if this
is not done within five years from the
passage of the act Of Congress, the
lands revert to the General Govern
ment. The five years will expire with
in eighteen months from this time, and
vet we are told that in two long years
only the foundation stone for the Col
lege have been laid and few bricks
burned ! and that the superstruct-
ure" will commence "in the spring. or
as early as sufficient appropriation
shall be made by thh General Assem-
bly," What has become of the twen-
ty thousand dollars Whose pockets
enjoy the green-back liningse The
present Legislature will undoubtedly
be called upon for fifty or perhaps one
hundred thousand dollars more, in or
der to raise the brick superstructure
in the Spring" and sare the grant /! The
same bloodsuckers, either directly or
indirectly, have fastened upon the Ag-
ricultural College enterprise that have
so long gorged and fattened upon the
old Des Moines River Improvement
Grant. The river is not yet improved

New Invention.

Mr.. Ezra Lamborn of this village has
purchased the right to sell newly in
vented "Heat Regulator or Improved
Dampcr," for stove funnels, which he
is now introducing in this county. The
invention was patented in September
last by WIN. johnson Of Milwaukee,
and took the highest premium at the
Wisconsin State Fair last fall. The
price is but a trifle, and the saving
of fuel by its use is very considerable;
besides. it is great convenience in
regulating the temperature Of a room.
We have one in our Office, and find it
works to charm.

Both Houses of Congress re-assem-
bled on the 5th inst. Among the reso-
lutions of inquiry offered, was one by
Mr.. Ingersoll, of Illinois, instructing
the Judiciary Committee to inquire
