DEDICATION OF WOOSTER UNIVER-
SITY.

Last Wednesday was a gala
day in Wooster. The ceremonies
of the Dedication of the University
came off. The day was fine. Early
in the morning the people began to
pour into the city from all direc-
tions. BY 10 o'clock several thous-
and people had assembled in the
Campus of the University, where
the exercises were to be held. The
exercises were opened with Invoca-
ton by Rev. DR.. Allison of Pitts
burgh. Then the Academy of Mu-
sic sang that stirring old hymn
"All Hail the Power of Jesus
name," in which all present joined.
Mr.. Bacon, Of Toledo, then read
the 9th Psalm.
Next came an Historical Statement
of the origin and progress of the
University. Mr.. Robinson traced
the efforts of the different Synods
to establish a Synodical College; !;
from 1S4Sup to the present time.
Rev. James A. Reed, of Springfield,
ILL.,, made the Dedicatory prayer
Dedication anthem byProf. VIM. C..
Webster, was well rendered by the
Academy.
The Vice President then admins
tered the oath of Office, and the
Keys and Charter were delivered by
the President of the Board, J. H.
Kauke, Esq.
Then followed the Inaugural Ad-
dress of DIR. Lord. We are sorry
that we have not the room to give
this address in full.
After the singing of the anthem
LeG-uS-WltR "a Joyful mlnd, the
Hon. John Sherman was introduced
and made short and eloquent
speech. The concluding prayer was
pronounced by Rev. A. T. Fuller
ton. The whole assembly then
joined in singing, 'Praise God from
whom all blessings flow The
woods rang with the grand and sub
lime strains of ''Old Hundred
The prospects of the College are
good. 1t opened on Thursday with
fifty or sixty students. AppGca-
tions are constantly coming in.
The Building cost $125,000. The
endowment fund has reached $275,-
600. The Library already contains
two thousand volumes.

SCIENTIFIC BEE CULTURE.

Having used the above heading
for former article written upon
this subject, / propose to use it en-
clusirely in future, so that our read.
ers may at once recognize the source
and not suffer disappointment in an
ticipation of something better than
we can produce. ts4f
AS the winter management of bees
necessarily involves some things that
must be done in the fall, this article
will prove the more acceptable to the
practical bee keeper, if it contains
judicious suggestions pertinent to
the season. With this view we pro-
pose to give some of the results of
our experimenting upon this depart
ment of bee keeping, especially, as
we, like other novices, have not al
rays succeeded in keeping them
over winter. Experience Though a
dear teacher, if needed with de-
termined will to profit by his teach
ings, will make you successful.
Then let me say to you, that we have
kept bees in old fashioned gums,
square box hives, Underhilrs patent
hives and the Langstroth fiat hive.
Have wintered them on their sum-
mer stands with a shed over them,
with shed and straw or hay packed
around them, and without any shed.
Have also tried the cellar, and lastly
Especial repository, built with hol-
low walls filed in with leached tan
bark and saw-dust. EitherSwil do.
This last mentioned method, we do
not hesitate to say is the best way to
winter successfully in this climate !;
but in all cases whether in or out of
doors, a judicious ilse Of upper ven
tilation is necessity. AS many
who keep bees, are, as we are now,
without special repository, and
will therefore feel more interest in
Our outdoor experimenting together
with the cellar operations, we will at
once notice the requisites for winter
ing bees on their summer stands.
In the fall of 1867 | selected six
colonies to be subjects of expert
ment as follows. / took very strong
one and moderately weak one, gave
them an open space at the bottom of
the hive, one-half inch by two inches.
/ took the caps off them fiat Lang
stroth hives) and bored an inch
hole in each near the top of one end
of the cap, put q piece of old carpet
over the top of the frames doubled,
put the cap on with the hole from
me when standing in front ofthe en-
trance, gave them no other protec-
tion. The weak one passed the win
ter safely, but the strong one froze
till the combs were split, and the
bees solid mass of ice. The weak
hive had 32lbs ofhoney. The strong
one 6Slbs. The cold honey con
densed their breath till the water ran
down over them, freezing into their
cluster gradually till all were frozen.

A Good Day for Trade.

Last Saturday our town was crowded
with teams from the country. Our mer-
chants say they had good trade on that
day, which we have no doubt was gen.
eral. A good number of our farmers
called ON us and left their names and
50 for the REpUBE1cAN. This is en-
eouraging. As our paper becomes
known, our circulation increases. We
are daily receiving encouraging words
from all quarters.

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 7th, 20.
EDITORS REPUBL1cAN:-I have had
the pleasure of perusing the first
two numbers of your valuable paper.
Little Holmes is my native county,
where | have spent some of the hap
piest hours of my life, and l am yet
bound to it by the strongest ties.
Like many other counties she has
been brought into disrepute and dis
graced, at times, by the conduct of
a few bad designing men, but with all
her faults and short comings, have
a warm attachment for her. Re
garding a well conducted newspaper
as one of the most potent instru-
mentalities of elevating and educa-
ting the masses, l assure you 1 was
highly delighted when beheld such
a large, neat, and ably conducted
paper as the REPUBLICAN. Such a
paper reflects great credit on a
county. Was glad to hear your
prospects were good for being well
sustained. Every enterprising citi-
zen of Holmes County should assist
you by becoming subscriber. 1t
is to the interest of every citizen to
assist in supporting his county pa
pers. The number, size, and ability
displayed in their newspapers, have
become almost q standard criterion
by which to judge of the enterprise,
intelligence and moral worth of a
people. May you be so well sup
ported that you will be able to con-
tinue as you have commenced, to
edit a county paper that has few
equals and no superiors in Ohio. l
may write you occasionally from
this lively, ,go-a-head city-frequently
called the "Chicago of the West"
Being the centre of the United
States and the now populated great
west; and the initial point of the
Union Pacific Railroad, there are
matters of importance occurring
here almost every week, accounts of
which would doubtless interest your
many readers. Respectfully yours.

Whye

We understand that there was an efi0r
made by certain parties TO buy another
lot on which to build a new Jail.
Now we would ask what need has the
county of more lots than the eight which
she now has for Jail purposes? Why
run the county in debt for what it doe;
not need? The only possible reason We
can see is, that by so doing there would
be chance for somebody to make some
money off the county.
The matter has been quietly hushed
up, and We are glad to see that it has
metwith just condemnation by the bet
ter portion Of The Democracy.

To the East.

The enterprising Dry Goods merchant,
Mr.. J. E. Koch, jr., started East the
other day to buy large and choicestock
of Dry Goods, Notions, and everything
kept in a first-class store. Mr.. Koch's
many friends will be glad to know that
he intends carrying on the business
larger than ever. He intends buying
for cash so that he can sell his goods at
very low figures. Mr.. h. knows what
the market needs,
