least temporary wish for self Improvement
in those qualifications of manhood displayed
by winner and loser alike in the battle of
the boats.-Erooklyn Eagle.
Prof. Clark Seelye, in his address at Abbot
Academy, Andover, made a plea for the in
struction of women, showing" the report
SAYS. "that If we give the best education to
men to fit them for the learned professions,
much more should we give it 10 women,
upon whom, more than all preachers, de-
pends the care of human souls; upon whom,
more than physicians, depends the health OF
the human bodies; upon whom, more than
upon all LAWYERS, depends those conceptions
of law and order which are the foundations
of Justice"
From the official agricultural statistics OF
Great Britain, it seems that less than four
per cent. OF the whole surface of England
and wales-that is, Ass, 900 acres out of a
total of 81 ,3l9 900 acres-is occupied by woods,
coppices and plantations. Sussex is the only
county that returns more than 100000
acres of wood, nearly eleven per cent. OF its
area being thus clothed. The woods OF
Hampshire are next In magnitude, embrac-
ing 81, 600 acres, IL per cent. of the area OF
the county; Kent follows, with $1,000 acres OF
woodland; and then Surrey, with $4,000
acres, nearly one-tenth of its area.
The veteran statistician, E. ID. Mansfield,
contributes very interesting article TO the
Cincinnati Trade List on the railroad system
of Ohio, which contains some points that
are quite suggestive. He states that while
the agriculture and merchandise OF the state
| furnished the railroad Is 8,25O,000 tons OF
/ freight, the mines alone furnished GO, Az,
or more than both the agricultural and mer-
camille products. FOur-fifths of the mining
business has been developed within the last
ten years. and Mr. Mansfield thinks that in
ten years more the mining and msnufactur
| ing business will be the controlling industry
of the state.
The Liberty Miss Herald has the follow
| ing in reference to the ravsges of charbon in
Amite county, Miss, and the parish of East
Feliciana, IN Louisiana: "There is great
CONSERVATION among the planters in the
southern and southwest portion of the
county on the account OF the ravages of the
charbon. 1t is gradually extending all over
the county, and is carrying havoc to horses
| and cattle all along its path. y large mum
ber of valuable horses have been killed by
it, and although in most cases it readily
! yields TO treatment, if applied soon enough
It is so rapid in its course that 1t generally
proves fatal before a remedy can be obtained
and applied.

peace warrant was thereupon issued
against him, and to assist in making the

THE INDIANA MEDICAL COLLEGE.


THE INDIANA MEDICAL COLLEGE.
REVIEW OF ITS soLeANIzATIoN AND GROWTH.
In another column of this paper will be
found the circular of the Indiana Medical
College. The Institution has been in sue
cessfuI operation for the last five years. 1t
was organized at the instance, and under
the auspices, of the Indianapolis Academy
of Medicine. 1t embraces within its educa-
tionsl force such professional gentlemen,
both within and out OF Indianapolis, as were
willing to lend their aid without pecuniary
elnolument. The enterprise was considered,
az the period of its inception of at least
doubtful success. The obvious demand,
however, for such department of learning
in the center of a great State. which had been
sending its pupils to other States for instruc-
ton, determined the faculty, at whatever
sacrifice OF money and labcr, to
make the movement in which
they had earnestly embarked
success beyond peradventure. The gradual
but positive growth of the school to ALREADY
large proportions in an incredibly short
time, has demonstrated the appreciation of
the want, well as generous confidence
extende, the enterprise by the profession at
large. Notwithstanding some important
losses by death and otherwise of the corps of
teachers their places have been so happily
supplied, as to impair i'm no degree the in
tegr,y of the faculty. its capacity to teach, or,
as is believed, its confidence with the people.
The growing popularity of the school is in
dicated by the increase by annual aces
sions TO its classes from less than sixty
at its first, to one hundred and seven at its
last session. 1t will be seen by this shors
account of the rise and progress of the Indi-
ana Medical College, now, and for the last
three wears q departuent of the State Uni
versity, that its usefulness is rapidly and
widely extending. and that its affairs gener-
ally are in highly prosperous condition.
IL offers to students without as well as those
within the limits of this State. facilities for
instruction probably not sur passed by those
of any similar institution in the western
country, and claims justly, q continuence Of
that State patronage which has hitherto cor
tributed so bountifully 20 its maintenance
and advancement.

The following preamble and reso-
lutions were presented and adopted at
late meeting otthe Woodstock Grange
of which Mr.. V. was a member:
Whereas it has seemed best to our
Heavenly Father to suddenly remove
from our midst Ivory L. Vaughan, a
brother, faithful and true, a loving
husband, q kind father, a faithful
friend, true christian and a good
citizen and, whereas, we, as
Brotherhood, deeply sympathize with
the afflicted family, we rejoice at the
good example he has left for our imi-
tation.
Resolved, That while we mourn
with this afflicted family we also with
them look up to Him from whom
cometh our strength and say "Even
so Father for so it seemeth good IN
Thy sight"
Resolved, That the community in
which brother Vaughan lived has lost
one who was always present with his
aid and sympathy to comfort those i'll
distress.
Resolved, That we drape our Altar
and that we wear the badge of mourn.
ing for three successive meetings of
the Grange.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread on our records, and that copy
of the same be sent to the family Of
the deceased.

Wim1cring BeeS.

Touching this subject, r. Bick ford
writes I omit the outside GOVERN G of
the hive, believing that it is better to
have the hive of a single thickness of
board, say seven-elghts Of an inch, in
order that the heat OF the sun may
easily penetrate it, and warm up the
hive daily, thus giving the bees an op-
portunity to bring to the central part
Of the hive fresh supplies of food from
the outer combs, This plan may lead
to somewhat greater consumption Of
honey but if a swarm of bees will
give its owner from fifty to one hund-
red pounds Of surplus honey in a sea-
son, AS mine have done the past sur
mer, he ought to be entirely willing
to have them eat all they need dnring
the winter. At all events, one of two
things must be done, to winter bees
successfully, in addition to their hav
ing supply of TODD and thorough
ventilation they must either be kept
in . repository where frost cannot
enter, as a cellar, trench, ice-house, or
the like: or they must be put where
the sun can warm them up occasional

could be found about the house.
These need no cutting or fitting.

box is movable, and | like it much
better than the old pan of having it

The moisture will pass through as
readily as the insensible perspiratiou
Of our bodies will pass through our

dry and the bees warm. have no
fear of losing single swarm this
winter, although several new ones
which l bought are quite weak, owing
to the sudden close Of the honey har-
vest a month earlier than last year. in
chnsequence Of the drought.
