Loss. Spring Hill College, Mobile, was de-
stroyed by fire on the night of the 5th. The
Register says:
1--WE were informed by Father. Corvette that
of all his carefully collected scientific library,
every valuable instrument, and hiS..whole muse
um of minerals of South America, Central
America and Mexico, not one vestige remain 8,
The losses are irreparable, for Father Corvette
spent ten years In their collection in the eoun-
;res named, and gave to it a zeal, knowledge
and care that made it beyond value. lie would
have refused $40, 600 for the Minerals alone.
Another interesting object destroyed was iull
and carefully classified collection of the flora OF
Spring Hill, which to our surprise, we were
informed contained some fifteen hundred dis
tinct varieties. But the loss thatwe heard most
r., quently regretted was that OF a wonderfully
carved cruciix, in white wood, which hung
among the sacred relics of the museum. 1t
was carved by an untutored aud recently con
verted Central American Indian. Seeing him
use his knife with great skill, Father Corvette
10 one OF his rambes in search of geological
trophies, asked If he could make a cruci6x.-
The Indian reflected day, and then coming
IT, him asked: shall he be dying, or dead?'
o. being answered 'dying, ne went to work
aud produced a face that for expressive action
and intensified living agony, has been rarely
exceed by the greatest ehisels OF Italy. This
valuable relic it was impossible TO save.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRY. -

A DIAMOND SToRY.--Nearly century ago
IN old gentleman in the lower part OF virginia
picked ND stone to throw al q raoDlt tue
stone gittered in the sun, and the OLD man
concluded 10 take it home to ms chiidren 10
,lav with. Shortly afterwards the family ply
s;e;an bannened TO see the stone, aud offered
s;~ dollars for Il. but the family would not sell.
Subsequently trusty friend about to visit
Eurone was given the stone, and on reaching
London he consulted an old lapidary named
NoY- who after careful examination declared
hat "All America is not able to buy that
stone. A Jew, whom the trusty friend al
forwards consulted informed him not to come
out with the stone again without q guard, as
he would be robbed were it known he had 1T.
The friend returned home and delivered up
he precious gem.
Sometime afterward party of six Mary
;anders offered for the stone in lands and ne
,roes the equivalent of one hundred thousand
dollars, which was refused. The old man died
and the stone remained In the family for seve-
raj generations, and recently, so runs the
story, it came into the possession OF DIR.
Dougherty. of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,
whose children are legal heirs. 1t is claimed
20 be a diamond of first quality, and weighs
four hundred and fifty carats, whilst that OF
the Rajah of Mattan (?) said to be the largest
In the world, weighs only three hundred and
sixty-seven carats The stone has been sent
away to pass the scrutiny OF the ablest sclen-
tifc men in the country, and the Harrsonburg
State Guard, which is responsible for the story
of which the above is an outline, says there
is reason to believe that America can boast the
largest diamond in the world" ~

The Discoveries of Livingstone
From the Pittsburgh Chr

so o-s From the Pittsburgh Chronicle;
At the meeting Of the Royal Geo
graphical Society on Monday, Sir
Roderick Murchison had the gratif-
cation Of reading letters from DIR.
Livingstone, which stated that he had
found chain of lakes connected by
rivers far to the south Of Lake Tan
ganyika, and that he believes the
chief sources of the Nile to rise be-
tween 10. deg. and IL deg, south
latitude, or 400 miles south of the
most southerly portion Of the Vic
toria Nyanza. The letters of the
intrepid explorer are dated fifteen
months back, but other information
leadsto the conclusion that he was
alive and well "a few months ago.
Captain Sherard Osborn expresses
confidential belief that DIR. Living
stone will ere long meet, Sir Samuel
Baker in his expedition to the south
of Egypt, and Sir Roderick has no
doubt that the Geographical Society
will ere long have the happiness Of
giving the great traveller a gmagnifi-
cent reception in his native land,
