President White. Of Cornell University, who
has heretofore given considerable sttention to
the subject OF co-eaucalion of the eeXes, has
lately been visiting nearly all the colleges and
universities in the country where the experiment
has been tried; and has closed his tour of obser-
yation fully confirmed in the belief that the sys-
tom may be adopted with safety, and with fair
prospect of extended usefulness Mr.. White
cites the case Of the academies and high schools
OF the State of New York. in which young men
aud women of marriageable age have been cd
ucated together from time immemoral with
out the hr4t case of scandal. lie recalls the
scenes of his own college life at New Haven,
where the Hew lecture rooms that were shared
with young women were pleasauter with less
noise and rowdysm than those from which wo-
men were excluded.
lie visited Oberlin, and was much pleased
with the conduct Of the two or three hundred
young men and women whom he saw there in
the large dining-hall; and this lie considers a
remarkably good test Of their civilization. He
heard the cleaneat, cearest ap1 best reading of
Tacitus by woman at Ooerlin that he ever
heard, which to him was evidence of clear,
strong mind. At Antioch College, and at the
universities of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, the
uniform testimony was that the women fully
equalled the men in their attainments in the
different branches Professor Wood, of civil
engineering, in the Michigan University. has
practiced offering prize for the solution of
problem in the higher mathematics; for several
years tho problem has not been solved, but this
year it was solved by a woman gentleman
who accompanied President White, and who pro-
poses to bestow $3.50 QUO ON Cornell Uniyersi Y
as fund for the education of woven, thought
the evidence showed that the women excelled
the mon in the powers Of requirement; but the
president remarks that the young woman were
singled ont, while the young men were taken as
they run. Several of the officers of the western
colleges, who had commenced the co-education
of the sexes with many misgiyngs, have be-
come favorably impressed by the practical work

NEW YORK IN A BAD wAY-IIER RIVERS CONFLICT
Ely BLOCKED WITH IoE-How THE FERRY BOATS
FARE.
The New York Express of last evening says
Considerable delay was experienced in cross
ing the North river this morning, in consequence
of the immense quantities Of ice that had come
down with the tide it had lodged altogether on
the city side, completely filling up the slips, and
extending nearly or quite one third the distance
across the river Some of the pieces were of
immense size, and were so closely packed that
it was with the utmost difficulty the ferry boats
were forced through, and with no little danger;
the passengers experienced anything but COM
Portable feelings, as the sharp edges of the ice
rasped against the bottom of the boat After
successfully passing through the ice in the
stream, another difficulty encountered in
reaching the slip, for the boats had not suifi-
cient headway for stearing purposes, and in
some cases nearly half an hour was occupied in
getting into the slip. The consequence was
the river, and much time lost. The boats of
the Desbrosses street ferry only ran occasionally,
but the Oortlandt street and the Pavona boats
made their trips more frequently.

Feline InfeIicIty.

HOW GREENWOOD ATTEMPTED TO GET RID OF ITS
CATS.
Some good people at Greenwood, Sussex conn
ty,have long beenpesleredw with surplus number
of cats. But how to get rid of them-that was
TIE question. Reared to respect the felines,
they were afraid to say them lest the evil omen
therein contained, should settle and fix itself
around their future transactions. Finally an eX-
pedient was hit upon. 1t was determined to
send them to other climes. &c. as the freight
train was coming northward, on Monday, with
the permission of the conductor, a box of the
feline creation was placed upon the top of one
of the cars, With the understanding that it should
be opened when a sufficient distance was put
between the cats and their old familiar haunts
to confuse the wonderful instinct which they
POSSESS for finding their way back to their old
homes. But this promise was too much for
some of the employees ON the train. They were
anxious for the scene which they felt sure would
follow the opening of the box, and so, as the
train cleared the outskirts of the village the
slide was removed and the unrestrained cats
leaped headlong from the top of the cars and
were buried in the snow below. We have no
doubt that this morning they are basking in the
old familiar chimney corner, while their owners
are ponderng over the instructive ability OF the
feline creation which enables them to hold in
remembrance "home, sweet home"
