WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.

We have received a copy OF the Cat
-alogue OF the Officers aud Students o
Snce At THIS institution during the pssi
year. The Senior class numbers Is;
the Junior 6; the Sophomore IL; the
Freshman 80; the Normal students 80;
Preparatory students for the second
year "a. and for the first year 4S. The
course OF instruction in the college
college classes proper is as complete
and exhaustive as that OF any, even the
oldest and most noted, OF the colleei-
ate institutions in the country and the
young man who worthily completes the
course will have attained such an edu-
cation as will do him good service 10
any profession or any department of
duty in which he may choose to en-
gage. The Literary, Scientific, Agri-
cultural and Military schools OF the
University are all that have yet been
organized or in which instruction is
regularly impaired. We believe that
schools OF Medicine and Law and Civil
Engineering are contemplated in the
original plan OF the University and will
doubtless be organized in due time to
meet the home demand for profession
allearniug.
The preparatory department Of the
University has been the subject OF some
criticism. 1t embraced last year eighty
two students, or more than one-hslf OF
the whole number in attendance. The
branches of study pursued in this de-
partment FIJI up the interval between
the public schools aud the college and
are intended to qualify the student for
admission to the freshman class Of the |
University. The preparatory school is,
in fact, what used to be called an
"Academy"--a class OF schools that was
more numerous twenty years ago than
now, having been superseded by the
higher grade Of instruction now given
in the public schools and by the estab-
lishment of preparatory departments.
such as that at the University, in con-
nection with most of the colleges of the
day.
The University seems to be doing q
good work. 1t is in its infancy as yet,
but it manifests many encouraging
signs Of healthy growth, and will yet
come to fill that place in the respect and
Veuerstion Of the people of West Vir-
yinia that the University of Virginia
holds in the regard OF the citizens Of the
old State.
The annual examination of classes
begins on next Thursday. June 18th.

Mr.. J. Kiliian, Mr.. S. Baird and Mr.. A. c, T.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
The Magnetic Fountain of Water.
town.


Within the past few weeks considerable
excitement has prevailed in our community
over the discovery that the ar.esian well
belonging to the Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company, in the vicinity OF their
shops near the Junction, in this city, IS
strongly etc, highly charged with car
bon. and possesses wonderful curative prop
critics. From the tests and experiments al
ready made with this water, it is pronounced
oy those experienced in such matters, to
contain greater medicinal qualities than any
well yet discovered in the State, and in this
respect will bear comparison with any in
the United States, not excepting Congress
Spring, Saratoga the reputation of which
has become SO wor ld-wide. The waite AS
yet has not been perfectly analysed, but
steps have been taken to have thorough
examination made Gifts cons tluent elements
as soon as possible. The remarkable heal
ing powers of this magnetic we'll have been
developed in various ways within short
time. Several of our citizens suffering from
rheumatism, and other diseases, who have
been only recently drinking the water from
this extraordinary fountain, find themselves
already fully restored in health, and to all
appearances, thoroughly cured. As will be
seen elsewhere, arrangements have been
made for the sale of this water, and its dis
tribution among those requiring it.

Henry Weaver.
"This afternoon Henry Weaver was bur
led with appropriate ceremonies, by the
members of the Kingston Lodge, Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr.. Weaver,
who belonged to Watertown, Wis, was on
trip on the lakes for the benefit of his
health on the schooner Typo. He turned
very suddenly i'll while the schooner was
anchored at Four Mile Point, and the cap
tain sent for DR.. Sullivan, who, on arriving,
found the poor fellow dying. He advised
his removal to the Hotel Dieu Hospital,
which was done, but Weaver never spoke.
He was ascertained to be an Odd Fellow,
and the Kingston Lodge determined to take
charge of the funeral arrangements. They
telegraphed to his wife, and kept the body
in ice in the Royal College of Physicians
and Surgeons, and the funeral took place this
afternoon. Over forty members of the order
appeared in regalia, and, headed by the fine
band of A Battery, under the leadership of
Mr.. Racket, playing funeral marches,
marched up Princess street. The Dean of
Ontario was the officiating clergyman. This
act Of brotherly kindness on the part of the
Kingston Lodge deserves especial mention
Mrs. Weaver arrived in this city this morn
ing, and was most kindly received by the
Kingston brethren" Kingston, Casaada)
Daily News, August 5th.
The above tells the sad story of the cir
cumstances attending death Of our fellow
citizen Mr.. Henry Weaver, and the last
tribute that was paid his memory by his
brethren of the Odd Fellows Order at
Kingston, Canada. Mr.. Weaver was born
at Catskill, New York, in 1913, and was
consequently IS years of age at the time OF
his death. Eighteen years ago he came to
Wisconsin, and resided in Milwaukee about
one year. He then removed to this city, and
for seventeen years has been a resident Of
this place. In 1862 Mr.. Weaver enlisted in
Company ofthe 2sth Volunteer Infantry,
and remained in the army until the regi-
ment was mustered out of service in 1865
While in the army he contracted the disease
which finally resulted ia his death. Mr.
Weaver was fair minded, upright citizen,
possessed CT a kind, friendly nature, and
honest in all his dealings. His wife and
daughter have the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in their sad bereavement. /;
