A plan for University on n colossal scale
has been proposed by prominent Episcopalians
in this city IL is 10 combine the three principal
literary institutions Of the Church in New York,
Columbia College, the General Theological
Seminary, and Trinity School, now known as the
New y rk Protestant Episcopal Public School, and
establish them on q large tract Of land in West
chester county. These institutions represent an az
grcgate wealth Of several millions Of dollars their
property consisting mostly Of land in New York,
which is rapidly increasing in value; and ii is

JusEPu WYBIE lives In the mountains

hut is accessible only through lonely noun.
tain path. 1t contains but one room beside
a loft, in which his five children slept.
WYBLE ekcs out miserable existence by cut
ting hooppoles on the mountains. On
New Years day three Of his children disap-
pearcd. The Oldest Of these children was
ten, and the youngest six. All were boys.
According TO their mothers story, the chill.
dren went from home at halfpast three
o'clock in the afternoon to gather white wal
nuts within half mile of the cabin. Three
quarters of an hour nfterward Mrs. WYBLE
says she became alarmed because they had not
returned She ran into the woods and called
them, but in vain. WYBLE returned home
at dusk 1t was raining hard. He lighted
his lantern and searched through the forest,
shouting until he was loarse, but received
no answer. Then the assistance of the
neighbors was invoked, and the long, dark,
dreary night was spent in an Intellectual
search for the missing boys. During the
succeeding days hundreds Of stalwart men
patrolled the mountains, but no trace OF the
little ones has ever been discovered.
jacob WYpLE, the son OF JOSEPH by
former wife, md the mother have apparently
taken but little interest in the search. When
questioned Mrs WYBrE replied evasively,
aud 10 said to have told contradictory stories
concerning he d appearance of the children,
She AYERS that JACOBwen down 10 his unclJ's
house, q mile aud half distant, at T. VI. on
Jan, /. Within an hour otter tho children
left home, JAcoB was seen by Mr.. BIAUyELT
on Camel Mount, milo aud q half distant,
with two hatchets. Mr. BLAUvELT was
about 10 take the path over which JACOB
guide him to a nearer path out of the woods.
These and other circumstances awakened.
a suspicion that the poor children had been
murdered The character of the WYBLEs is
bad and there are rumors of foul play con-
corning another child who died years ago
The people Of Wynockic do not hesitate TO
declare their bel that the three boys have
LcCn murdered. II tleir suspicious are un-
founded, it would he an act Of charity to
the WYBLE famil! 10 have them cleared
away All that is wanted is an affidavit
affirming belief that the lost boys have
been either abducted or killed The people
OF Nynockc decline 10 furnisl, this through
fear that WYBLE, who is repr, scented as a
desperate man, may rctGliate by burning
their barns or by injuring them in some
secret manner. y more cowardly excuse
could not he offered. Ono may well
ask, arc there any fathers in WynocLie?
On Tuesday L reporter Of The Sun spent
hours in a fruitloss attempt to procure a
guide to WYBLE's calm. No resident
Of Wynuckie dared to accompany him.
This fact Of itself throws deeper
shade of suspicion over the mystery. 1t
should stimulate the county authorities to a
renewed cxertion TO learn the fate Of these
| innoccnts. Let the offer of the ludicrous re-
ward Of 500 be increased to 81 600 and let
every mother in Wynocke urge her weak
husband to use every personal effort TO un-
rayel th ; fearful mystery.

the Convention Mat he was there only TO listen,
and that II would be impossible for him to make
a speech on that subject. As the Senator is q
progressive man, we presume that this state Of
indetermination will not long continue, and that
he will soon stand forth as a champion of The
ladies and We are sure no one could appear to
better advantage in such character. -
The lower House of Congress is Far behind the
Senate in respect of this great movement Of re-
fotm. Not a single Representative of the
People came forward TO advocate enlarging his
constituency by admitting the better half of hui
manty TO the ballot. Indeed, only one Of them
appears to have attended the Convention at all.
This was Mr. WOODWARD Of Pennsylvania, q
hard-shcl Democrats and as soon as the audience
called on him TO speak, instead of initiating the
manly example of Senator SHERM,S, he put his
hat over his cars and snoaked out We hope
all the women will be against him at every fu-
ture election.
II Is not stated whether Senator SUMNER was
present at any ofthe meetings Of the Convention
or not. We presume, however, that he was too
much absorbed in tho welfare of the masses to
take any interest in individuals"

The absolute silence Of the Cuban cable on
all matters connected with the revolution Is, to
say the least, omnous because, as this cable is
entirely under control Of the Spanish authorities
any important success tending to the suppression
Of the rebclhoa would naturally be at once pro-
mugaled abroad This entire silence still re-
mains un6rohen, Notwithstanding the absurd
despatch published yesterday of the capture of
two Of the leading chiefs Of the patriot forces in
Bayamo. The despatch adds that the prisoners
had been tIkcn TO Santiago. Bayamo is but a
few miles from the port Of Manzanillo, to which
uuquestionably the Spaniards would have con.
Quoted any prisoners OF such Importance. More
over, they could not have been taken 20 Santiago
by land, because all communication for the
Spauiards by land between Bayamo aud Santiago
is cut Oh BY the patriots IN their possession Of
Mogotc.
There is still one other reason which renders
the capture unlikely, namely, that two OF the re-
ported captiyes have been officially declared by
Gen. De RoDAs TO have been killed long ago
MARc,So in battle, and FIGuERrpo by his own
hand at Cobre, near Santiago and Of course any
lies which the Spanish papers of Havana may
invent should not be allowed in any wise TO dis
credit official statements Of the Captain Cen
eral, This report therefore Of the pretended
capture we consider merely consequence Of a
lack Of the usual vigilance Of the Government
officers in charge Of the Havana end of the cable.
The silence Of the cable. however, on oil inn
