CoLlLaE There having been some little
on, side talk and speculation with reference
to the perpstuity OF this institution Of learns
ing IN our city, We feel it TO he our duty,
(being invested with competent authority to
contradict oil such rulnors and statements,
and to assure the public that it will not sus
pend, although il is .prohshle that some
changes may 10 instituted therein. Messrs.
Bryant d Stratton opened branch OF their
chain OF business colleges in Davenport with
ade,er,ninat on 70 make it a permanent and
a popular ips;i tuition one where the young
men in this part of the Northwest might o /.
tain full and thorough knowledge Of the
business details and nsages Of the counting
room aud oftice-not only in theory but in
practice. We are authorized to say thu
they have never changed thei, views in Il 10
regard in the least, but on the contrary are
more than ever determined to maintain and
bnild up this branch. That they possess
the ability to do this, no one who is &C.
quainted with their standing, in the least &c.
ree, can doubt for moment, and We con.
gritulate the public upon their detern ina .
tor.
The College at this time is receiving .
very liberal amount Of patronace-has
more students, we believe, than at
any previous time since its organization,
and has great future promise. These things
our citizens will no doubt be placsed
10 hear. II would certainly lie pub
lie misfortune TO have 50 important an
institution Of learning a. this close in our
city. 1t brings numerous young men here
frcln abroad and adds something every
year TO our srosth and importance. A
most efficient corps Of teachers will he con-
stantly employed. and in no department
will there bc any pains spared to render the
institution q model school Of business.
OrrSrp To-NicHr-The public reading
soorn Of the Young Mems Christian Asso.
cistion will be opened this evening at eight
o'clock. 1t is not the purpose Of the ASS
c cation TO establish very expensive or sx-
tensive library in connection with this pub
lie room, nor will their operation il the
lcast conflict with the interest Of the Dav<
enport Library Association. or the Working
Mems Reading Room Association; although
in one respect ito aim will bs the same. The
work Of this Association, - 10 we'll known, 10
purely christian like in it, nature, and its
principal aim, ~ far 40 il consistent. win be
to exert christian influence in oil ito do
ngs. This evening is the time for holding
the regular monthly meeting, and - this il
the first meeting held in the new rooms, all
are invited to attend. The reading rooin
will be kept open every evening, except
Santays, from six o'clock until bed time

The leading journals and many standard
works will Be found Upon their tables. The
rooms are on the second floor OF LeChire
Block. The entrance 10 BY the broad stair
way near the Dsug Store Of Stevenson 4
Carnahan's. The rooms have been fitted up
IN very neat and attractive manner, and It
is hoped the public will one and s'l call in
and sse them. The regular meeting viii not

to give those attending the evening meet
inss chance Of being present.
FARMERS should all remember that the
