Ohio Female College.

1t is with pleasure that we call the
attention of our patrons to this popu-
lar institution of learning, situated IN
the beautiful village of College Hill,
Ohio, few miles north of Cincinnati,
and enjoys the peculiar advantage
which the neighborhood of a large city
confers. While yet sufficiently retired
for undisturbed study. The College
has now entirely recovered from the
great disaster which befell it in 1868
when the principal building was
burnt. A new and more spacious ed
ifce has been erected with frontage
of about 200 feet, including wings
1t is built of brick--in the French
style, with freestone ornaments and
Mansard slate roof. Lofty ceilings,
and wide halls running the full length
of the building permit free ventilation.
The whole building is heated by steam,
and lighted with gas. The boilers and
gas works being placed at a safe dis
tance from the building. The steam is
carried to each room and along the
halls, and uniform and healthy tenn
perature is secured throug ghout the
house. Hot and cold water are forced
to the top of the building and are
thence drawn off to the bath rooms
and closets. No fires are required
within the building, the kitchen and
laundry being in separate buildings
The Chapel of the College situated in
one wing of the new building, is ca
pable of seating 300 persons. Con-
yenient to this are class rooms, library
and reading rooms. There are also two
large rooms, each so by 90 feet, the
one used for a studio and the other as
hall for the two literary societies.
The windows throughout the build
ing are furnished with inside blinds,
and are raised and lowered by weights.
Each room is carpeted and is supplied
with large closet for wardrobes. In
the construction of this new temple of
learning, special pains has been taken
to make it most beautiful, comforta-
BILE, and convenient home. We refer
our readers for further information to
the advertisement of the College to be
found in another column.

Base Ball.

EDITOR JoURNAL-DEAR SIR:-A
very interesting and spirited game
OF Base Ball came off or Saturday
afternoon, the 18th inst, between
the lst nine Of the Lincoln "Wide
Awake" B. B. c., and the 1st nine
of the "Wild Cat B. B. c., of Rocky
Fork, Guyan township. The game
was played on the grounds of the
former Club, in the presence Of re-
spectacle number of ladies and gen.
tlemen, who had gathered in from
the surrounding country to witness
the sport. Every thing passed of
pleasantly, nothing transpiring to
mar the peace or wound the feelings
of any one present.
The score stood, for nine innings,
Lincoln Wide Awakes, 81; Wild
Cats, 81.
AS your paper seems to be the
medium through which other B. B.
C's promulgate to the people of
Gallia county, and the balance of
mankind, their daring feats in the
manly science of ball and bat, we
would politely request you to give
the above place in the columns of
your worthy paper, for the purpose
of informing the members of other
Base Ball Clubs that we have never
been beaten in one single match
game that we have ever played.
Yours, Respectfully,
A WIDE AWAKE.

E The Hillsborough and CALI

~ The Hillsborough and CALI
polls Railroad is dead; at least, so
far as this end ofthe line is concern
ed. No interest having been mani
tested for the enterprise east of Pike
ton, its originators have agreed to
the proposition of the Portsmouth

line to suit them. A new charter is
to be obtained, and the organization
is to be known as the Chesapeake,

rate limits of Ironton, Portsmouth,

Those of our people who believe,
oy reason of our natural position,
that outsiders will build our railroads
for us, will find how their theory
works by noting the results in this
case. Now, let our other enterprise
fail, because the people refuse te
subscribe, or subscribe such small
amounts as to amount, practically
to the same thing, and we shall Sc,

For the GaIIipOlis Journa
That Grammar Family.

PH1Lo, in his "few biographical
sketches" of this family says:
"Old Mr.. Noun is also remarkable
for his discipline and government of
family affairs. There are no Earrings,
family disputes and discords between
any Of the household. All is har-
mony, grace and beauty"
And, like many other young men of
tender age. he goes into raptures over
the delightful qualities of the pet of
the family, Miss Adjective. He winds
up his eulogy with the following para
graph:
"She has nothing to do with any of
her sisters'or brothers. All her atten-
tions and duties are confined exclusive
ly TO the assistance of her father and
mother"
Nothing to do with her brothers and
sisters? Look here,
"Mr. Noun is also said to possess
considerable property, though very
(fortunate) for him, it is not taxable"
Fortunately for her, she is not a gal
of ours. If she were - ,OeH, there
would be Grecian (or English) bend
for adjustment -. But, she is no
worse than her mother. Read PHILo.
Speaking of Mrs. Pronoun, he says:
"The wife of Mr.. Noun is very de-
hghtful, and especially, an agreeable
old lady. IT'S related of her that not
since her marriage has she been known
to disagree with her husband, except
in Just four cases, and they are not
worth mentioning here. What con-
trast between her and the majority OF
womankind."
("very delightful, andis especially an
agreeable old lady"-is not good-but
let that pass.) Is it agreeable to Mr..
Noun to find Relative in his wife'a
place, occasionally? PH1Lo says, speak
ing of Mr.. Verb:
HE is kind of family clerk that
operates entirely under the direction oi
the old folks
That Relative has no business in the
family, under the circumstances. "Old

fairs of man, which, taken at its flood,
leads on to fortune" has arrived to
Gallipolis and Gallia county, and that
we can do more good to its people BY
urging forward the Railroad enter
prise than in any other way. and hence
crowd our columns this week with

our opinion it is we'll to heed the sug-

R On Thursday evening, about

R On Thursday evening, about
5 o'clock, the remains of the late
JOHN LAWSON were brought to town,
by hearse from Chillicothe, the scene
of his sad and untimely end. Tho
coffin, very handsome one, tempo
rarily enclosed in deal case, was
taken to the family residence on
State street, where, according to pre-
vious arrangement, the members of
"the Morning Dawn Lodge" (who
had taken charge of the remains)
assisted by delegations from other
neighboring Lodges, and a large
number of citizens, in carriages and
on foot, assembled to pay the last
tribute of respect to their late
brother and friend. The whole
then formed into procession and
proceeded to the Universalist Church
where the funeral services were
read by the Rev. R. BREARE, who also
delivered a very impressive dis
course, eulogizing, in his usual elo-
quent and affectionate manner, the
merits of the deceased in every re-
lation in life. The simple and beau
tiful services for the burial of the
dead, according to the Masonic
Order, were then commenced, broth
er J. HUNT officiating, and the pro-
cession again formed, and proceeded
by muffied drums, took its way to
the Cemetry, where the Masonic
rights were resumed and the corps
inferred, the shades of dreary
evening putting an appropriate end
to the melancholy Offices before they
had been quite completed.
