The UNIVERSITY We learn that an erro-
neous impression prevails, in some quarters,
that the Trustees of the University have
concluded to suspend the operations of the
Institution
This is an entire mistake. It is the in
tention Of the Trustees to re-organize the
Institution. and adapt it to the needs Of
the age. The designations of the Faculty
have been accepted, to take effect on the
10th Of December next, at which time elec
tions will be had to fill all vacancies. Per
haps some of the Present Professors will
be reelected. New blood, new energy,
will be introduced. But the exercises OF
the Institution viii not be suspended a
moment On the contrary, the University
will be more efficient than ever. Its pros
poets are very hopeful.-Ral. Sentinel.
WuEAr.-The planters in this State are
putting in the wheat crop. We hope a
larger amount will be seeded than ever be-
fore. Let it be put in we'll, and, if posi-
bic, use fertilizers for its production. A
large and early wheat crop will go largely
to prevent the cry for bread the approach
ing summer and fall. Present appearan
ces indicate scarcity of bread next year, in
those counties where they have gone so
largely into cotton. Sow wheat largely.
Raleigh Sentinel.
THE New BELL-Of the Episcopal
