The brethren wuz somewhat disap-
pinted at the result, and Bascomb init
mated that he believed it wuz a id
swi1dle, but l withered him with a
glance. ! showed Deekin Pocram that
1t wuz not only regIar, but thst it he'd
the stamp nv the Post Offs onto it,
wich silenced al cavil. I asshoored EN-
that that little balance needn't trouble
em-I did not intend to make an as
sessment onto EN-, but that | Good wait
until the treasury wuz in funds.
But" sed Bascom, when in thun

"Wat kin we dor" sed Bascomb.
Lay the corner stun Nv the Insti-
toot," SEE l. "On the square forninst
US is the corner stun NV the niger
church we burnt a.month or so ago,
ready to our hand. Let us organize a
percession and do it to-day, that we
may publish to the world that the
work is commenced, hat u trends
may shell out libreller than they hev."
The idea wuz considered good and
forthwith it wuz actid upon. The stun
wuz conveyed to the field onto which
the Institoot is to be built, and a caVi-
ty wuz hollered out into it.
At 1 p. ". (wich is in the afternoon)
a procession wuz formed, headed by
the Trustees, and we marched out to
the field. Into the cavity in the stun
wuz deposited, with approprit ceremo-
MES, the followin articles:
A copy NV the Constitooshen NV the
Corfedrit States Nv America.
A copy Nv the message NV Androo
johnson vetoin the Freedmen's Bu.o
Bill.
A copy NV the Odd nv F~ebrOoary
speech.
Portlates NV the Trustees.
A copy NV the veto nv the Civil Rites
Bill.
A pair nv handouts.
Portrates NV President Johnson ard
Secretary Seward.
A niger whip.
A s. greenback contributed for the
purpose by Elder P~ennibaeker.
A pint bottle Nv whisky, seeled, con
tribbiied by Bsscom.
Then the stun wuZ placed in posi-

The niger witch we whipt at the
corner stun wuz shot in a dispoot by
Capt. NcPel,er, wich circumstances
