GoLDsBoRoUGH, THE MURDERER 1t seems
difficult to locate Goldsborough, the escaped
murderer Of Sussex county The Sussex
Journal of last week said he sailed for South
America where he was likely to stay for some
time. The Milford paper of Saturday howev-
er, says he was seen at the hotel at Bower
Beach on Thursday, April 2Sth, by a gentle
man frem Frederick. A man named McGin-
mis-, from Magnolia, was with the Frederick
gentleman. The Mutual Friend says AS
they entered the bar room, he noticed four men
sitting at table playing cards and McGinnis
Immediately approached one of them, shook
him heartily by the hand and addressed him
familarly by the name of - Bob A few
minutes afterwards, the gentleman from Fred
erica inquired of McGinnis who the man was
he had spoken TO-, when he was informed that
it was Robert G0idsb0roUgh the murderer of
CharteS Marsh On being told that he must
be mistaken, he replied: & No, indeed, was
in the army with him long while. and know
him as well as | know any man in Kent COun-
ty." The game was not finished but in few
minutes after Mctiinnis had spoken to him
.GOIdSbOrOugh jumped up from the table, step
ped up to the bar, threw down a five dollar note,
told the three men who were playing with him
to get their drinks and the change and come
on down to the boat They all followed i'm,
medately to the bay shore, took a boat which
they had landed in and went aboard of vessel
which was anchored a short distance out in the
bay. We also have it from reliable source
that this same vessel has been seen lying at an
chOr, fora day or two, little below the mouth
Of Broadkill Creek. only short distance from
Howard ) house, where the young lady resides
who it is said was engaged in marriage to
GOldSbgrough at the time he committed the
murder, and where he first went after his eS-
cape from prison. 1t is said that G0ldSborough
has certainly been seen at Howard within the
last two weeks. We make the above state
ments just as they were given to us, and, al
though they may seem increduouS, from the
reSpectablity Of the source from which We OBJ
tanned them, we can have no reason to doubt
their truthfulneSS, and must accept them as
Vertable facts unless convinced to the contrary.

GIN AND MnK.-This is the last sensation
in New York in connection with the trial OF
Rev. Charles B. Smyth, in the United PI esby-
terrain Church, Tor drinking intoxicating liquor
on Sunday, april llth, with certain reporters
OF the press who had been attending his SER
mon. Mr. Smyth in his defence acknowl-
edges that he drank gin and milk incidentally,
and 1t is presumed he did, for no one would
drink such an Unheard-ot dose as a beverage.
Tie further pleads that he was very much ex-
hauSted after his sermon, and his residence
being four miles from the church, he could not
80 home and return in time Tor his afternoon
duties; also that he went to OarespectablC hotel,
and that the gin and milk were taken at the
time he got his lunch of bcetSteak and other
substantIals. One OF the reporters drank gin
and milk " for the novelty OF the thing, the
other drank ale, but the cergymen says he did
not offer to treat them to liquors. nor did he
even pay the bill, because it was Sunday, pre-
terriug to call and settle the next day. The
affair came out through one of the reporters
who did up the incident for the gossip OF SEN
sation newspaper. A committee appointed to
confer upon the case reported that there was
no evidence that the accused was intoxicated
and that the newspaper statement was grossly
untrue however, he acted in an unbecomng
manner publicly calling for gin, which was Il
violation of the excise law, and conduct ncom
patlble with that Of clergymen. In concln-
sion, they recommended rebuke, which was ad
minlstered by Rev. DIR. Harper.

1t will be for the Trustees to devise ways
and means 70 adjust whatever difficulty may
appear in this exposition; whether by adding
to the funds in hand, or by re arranging the
Professorships. To fill these Profcs,orships
we should have corps OF Instructors, young
earnest, manly, thorough, able and well quail
fled, by training and inclination for their du-
ties. This will do more to give character
and success to our nstitution-which will be
so greatly dependent upon the favor OF the
community for its support--than a faculty of
older men with all the honors and titles of a
life time, but who are deficient in the spirit Of
modern inquiry and progress
We have been informed Ly the Committee
on Repairs that from the fund in the hands Of
the former Trustees of College, the buildings,
walks and enclosures have been thoroughly
renewed; and there are now rooms for sixty
students within the walls; and public recitation
and lecture rooms for the accommodation of
one hundred and twenty-five students.
