OBITUARY We record with pain the death
of Mr.. Lloyd Bion Kimball, eldest soE OF the
late Jacob Kimball, of this city. This event,
which has brought sorrow to many hearts, took
place in Aiken, S. c., May Sth. Between four
and five years ago Mr.. Kimball went to Wor-
cester, Mass, to fill a responsible position in
the establishment of A. P. Richardson & Co.
Not content with discharging the duties belong
ing TO this position, he devoted his hours of free
dom from business to study, evidently deter
mined not to give up his long cherished pur-
pose OF one day entering the legal profession.
This twofold application, into which he put the
whole energy of his nature, doubtless developed
that disease Consumption which at last did its
fatal work upon physical organism never very
vigorous.
In December of last year Mr.. Kimball was
married and went Immediately, accompanied by
bis wife, to Jacksonville, Florida, hoping by
change of climae and by REIMBURSEMENT of all
business responsibilities, to regain his health
This hope, cherished as earnestly by his family
and friends as by himself has been disappoint-
ed. In the latter part of April he reached Aiken,
and there, to use the beautiful figure within
which Christ puts the fact of death, he "fell
asleep" May God wake him early on the morn
ing of the resurrection! -CdlaiS (Mdine) AdUer-

The LONDON UNIVERSITY. The University
college, in London, is much better institution
than either of the two ancient universities (Ox-
ford and Cambridge, because it is organized to
suit modern requirements. The able men who
carry on the everyday intellectual work Of En-
gland-the men who edit the best reviews and
weeklies, and make the best barriSterS and ply
scians-are trained there. 1t is the centre
from which 90 forth the more living influences
of such men as Grote, Mill, and the utiltarians
generally, who really sway the mind of the cur
rent generation. But the system of University
college is very simple; it is simply to provide
competent teachers in every department of
knowledge required by cultivated English
man, and let that teacher teach in his own way
That is, he may lecture to his class, or he may
teach by recitations. Most of the teaching is by
lectures. The students have no residence in
the university buildings, and they are under no
especial discipline; none different from that I'M
der which all citizens are. They reside in their
homes, or in lodgings like others. They are ex-
amined by board of examiners, and get their
certificate or degrees according to competency
in the studies to which they have been attend
ing. This is, | believe, not materially differ
ent system from that of the university of Michi-
gan, at Ann Arbor, and think there can be no
doubt that it conforms most nearly to the idea
Of the most advanced scholars here of what a
college should be.-N d. c. IN Cincinnati Com

EXPRESS RoBBERY.-About one thousand
dollars was stolen from 0sgood's express office,
on Foster street, yesterday afternoon; and cir
cumstances pointed so plainly to one of the
office clerks named Walter Sherman, as the
thief, that he was Immediately sought for, but
without success at first, which fact strengthened
the suspicion. Thinking that he might have
gone towards New York, Mr.. Osgood took the
next train and started for that city, while the
search continued near home. At a late hour in

officer Hall found him in disreputabIe house

MYSTERIOUS APPEARANCE IN CANANDAI-
GUA.-A gentleman and his wife, residing in
quiet locality in our town, having no one else
besides themselves in their cottage have for
weeks past been the recipients of II strange, mys-
FERROUS visitation. The first intimation of the
presence of this thing, whatever it may be- was
about month since; while seated in their par
lOr reading, they became conscious of a sensa-
ton similar to to that felt when a currentof cold
air sweeps through a room, which was followed
by the appearance of a misty figure, perfectly
transparent yet clearly perceptible, having some
thing of the likeness of woman, clothed in long
loose garments. No distinct features were OBJ
servable, and no accurate description could he
written. This figure, apparitiOn, ghost, or what
ever you may choose to call it, glided
about the apartments, passing between
the occupants and between them and the fire
several times, and disappeared with the same
rush of chillness with which it appeared. Since
that time it has become a regular visitor to the
house, and is sometimes accompanied with
low, unearthly sound, like the unreal echo of a
dead melody Several persons other than those
in whose house it appears have witnessed this
strange phenomenon, and all are unable to ac-
count for il on any rational grounds. One of
the gentlemen who witnessed the strange affair
one evening last week, relates that When he re-
turned home that night he was accompanied by
something; what twas he cannot tell; although
invisible it was tangible. The footsteps were
plainly heard, sometimes by the side and some
times in front of him, and they only left him
when he reached the door of his house-Cdn-

g 1t has long been known that
wallpapers of bright green color
were tinted with arsenic; but |, Q
amount of the noxious mineral has
been supposed to be trifling, and few
persons Will be prepared to learn that
it frequently reaches as high as "four-
teen grains and upward to the square
foot" Nor are the lighter shades of
green always less poisonous; the same
quantity of arsenic of copper being
used, and the paler, tint given by an
admixture Of white lead. A paper
with green leaves on a white ground
was found to contain no less than eight
grains of arsenic to the square foot,
and had caused serious illness in the
family whose house it had decorated.
The sufferings produced by inhalation
Of gaseous emanations from such pa
pers, or Of the impalpable dust given
off from them, comprise not only OBJ
