spaniards and Mexicans, is dcscrfBe 4 as
follows by a paper published in the south,
ern part of California, where Il is still
practiced: 1.-THE names of ladies and
gentlemen known TO be mutually &c.
quainted are written upon slips of paper
and deposited in hats, the name Of q lady
beng drawn simultaneously from one hal
with that of a gentleman from another
the two whose names are thus drawn to
be eompadres and comadres TO each other
for the year. The obligations incurred
toward each other by tile relationship arc
very simple. The gentleman is to be The

must consider herself engaged Tor any
and every entertainment which he may
wish to attend. OF course the relation,

Nor oPENED.-There was a grand
rush to the "little grocery round the corn.
er" of John and Sixth streets, yesterday,
to see the mysterious trunk left there last
Monday morning. The principal facts Of
the incident were given in our columns
yesterday morning, The trunk formed
the principal topic Of cor ersation in the
eastern portion of the city, and was talk
cd about, more Or less, all over town. It
was thought best not to open the trunk
yesterday, as the fact Of its having been
deposited in Mr.. Barton's grocery had
become so generally known It would, in
all probability, be called Tor by the owner.
We were assured that If 1t was not re.
moved during the day, the civil authori.
ties would proceed to investigate its con.
tents this morning.

eornelI, oberlin, or Middletown

We saw in tie last Journal the article
"Cornell or Oberlin ?D and wondered why
no mention was made of Wesleyan Uni
yersity at Middletown.
While Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Brown,
and Dartmouth refuse to admit women, and
Cornell, in consideration of liberal dona-
zion from Mr. Sage, has opened its doors.
Wesleyan University at Middletown, with
out any pecumary inducement but from her
own liberal spirit has said /: Ladies' are
admitted to equal privileges in the Univer-
sity with gentlemen"
At the commencement which has just
passed, three Young ladies who were re-
fused aGnlittance ut Amherst were examine
ed by the faculty at Wesleyan, and admit
ted without conditions. The professors
were very gentlemanly, and made it as
pleasant as possible for the trio. Let others
10 in the fall, and show that they appreciate
abe liberalty of this institution.
Wesleyan University is said to have a
college course fully equal to Cornell and
not inferior to Amherst. 1t numbers
among its graduates such men as Gilbert
Haven, Orange Judd and Prof. Winchell,
OF Michigan University, and numerous
other distinguished teachers and ministers
throughout the country. Three handsome
stone buildings have been erected there
within the past four years.
While we are ashamed that Massachu-
sets colleges do not take the lead in this
movement, we say, "Long live Wesleyan,
and may many of New England's daugh-
tiers as well as her sons be proud of their
Alma Mater. "-W onaas's Journal.
