THE LUTnERAXsCOLLEGE.

Aswas stated in ourcolumns last week
the committee of four synods (OhiO anC
Indiana of the Lutheran Church vii
mert at Urbana on next Tuesday, 15tf
inst, to organize and consider the es
tablishing of a female seminary at some
point in Ohio. We then called upon
our citizens to be up and doing" and
we repeat the call now, as but few day.
will elapse ere the committees meet.
It is presumed by those who are fully
acquainted with the facts, that tie COM
mittee will take favorable action on the
proposition of Mr.. Jennings to sell the
building known as the Urbana Female
Seminary to the Lutheran Church
prOUided that the citizens of Urbana
sanction the transfer by ample and just
subscriptions. The amount named by
Mr.. J. is less than one-third the cost of
the building, which was erected before
the war, when prices of work and mater
ial we're low. The amount is so Iow that
it ought to be subscribed at a single
meeting of our citizens, should there be
a general attendance.
The advantages of the location of
college of this kind in our midst are,
certainly, APPARENT to all. lit would
bring here hundreds of students, whose
expenditures in a single year would
more than equal the price paid for the
Seminary. 2.-It would also bring
many wealthy families, who would pre-
fer to reside at the seat of learning 5"
and have their children educated at
home. The Springfield people can at
test to this, as Wittenberg College
(Lutheran) has been of great benefit to
their place. 3.-Such a female seminary
as the Lutheran Church would establish
here would be second OF none in the
State in point of instruction and manage
ment, and the people of Urbana would
thus be enabled to have their daughters
receive a frst-class education without
sending them Abroad plan that is not
only unpleasant but expensive, and near
ly always attended with danger to the
character of the student.
We think these facts conclusive. A
Lutheran College here would be a pub
lie blessing. Let US not lose so excel
lent an opportunity to have it. Action!
action The Committee will meet on
Tuesday next-why not call a public
meeting in the evening, at the Court
House, when and where the people and
the committee can counsel together, and
have the ball set in motion? What say

THE VOTE OF CHAMPAIGN.

WE give below the official vote Of this
county at the election last Tuesday, fol
Governor, State Senator, Representative
and County Officers, aud on the Amend,
ment. 1t will be seen that Gen. Young
Ind Candidate for Representative ( sup
ported by the Democrats,) Chance for
Prosecutor, aud Morgan for Surveyor,
ran ahead of the ticket. We are highly
pleased to recO d that cold Champaign
has gone against negro suffrage by a de-
cided majority-2376 "No" to 223S
" Yes" But as all votes not cast lor
the amendment are counted against it
the majority for No" in the county is
2O8, there being 4784 votes pOlIed.
We do not give the vote for the bal
ance of the State ticket as it varies very
little from that for Governor. The re-
turns we're not received by US until this
(Friday) morning.

We take pleasure in notifying our
Radical friends that Douglass doesn't
charge any more for shaving them than

The GREAT INSTRUMENTATION
We have the pleasure of announcing that
on Wednesday evening next the above
named institution will be exhibited al
the Union Hall, in Urbana. 1t is very
highly spoken of by the papers in places
where 1t has been exhibited. 1t was ex-
hlbited for more than one hundred nights
in New York and it is now in the West
for the first time, under the personal
supervision of Maj. Kellogg.
1t gives a perfect pictorial history Of
the rebellion, from the first gun fred
upon Fort Sumter to the release of JEFF.
Davis-battle scenes, assassination of
President Lincoln, etc, all represented
to life. Besides the performance in
cludes many scenes of cities, rivers, vol
canoes, mountains and plains.
Those who have seen this exhibition
unite in saying that the public need not
hesitate in visiting it, for there is no
humbug nor vulgarity about it. 1t is
not peep show nor amagic lantern in
stitution, but is claimed to be a genuine
work of art Remember the time, We'd
nesday evening, Oct. 10th.
The panorama would have been ex-
hibited here three nights longer had it
not been that the hall was engaged.

FIVE DOLLARS WORTH OF LEARN
NG.-Captain John A. Smith, Treasur-
er of this County, in a political contro-
versy the other evening with Capt. Mil
Ter, of the Union House, asserted that
the Chicago Democratic Platform, in 50
many words, pronounced the war a fail
ure. Capt Miller took issue with him,
and denied that such a sentence, or pro-
position, was contained in the document
referred to. Capt. Smith, insisted that
it aOas Capt, Miller replied { in sub
stance } that he had a FIVE, dollar bill
which said that it agasn't. Capt. Smith
took him up, and thus the controversy
ended for the time in a bet. On the fol-
lowing morning Capt. Smith might have
been seen walking across the street, to-
ward the Union House, with firm and
intrepid tread He had something
green in his hand which futtered in
the breeze. It proved to be FIVE dollar
bill. It was the price of his folly the
previous evening, or rather, the price of
his blind partisan credulity.
