Death of Mr., Vanderbilt.

Cornelius Vanderbilt died on Thurs
day Jan. 4th, 1877. He was born in
1894 and in 1910 began his career as
captain of aferry-boat plying from New
York to Staten Island his birth place.
New York was then a city of 10000
inhabitants and Staten Island great
dairy farm and market garden, supply
ing the metropolis with produce. In
1915 in partnership with his brother
in-law Capt. De Forrest, he became
proprietor ola coasting vessel in which
he made considerable profits trading
along the South coast as far as Charles
ton South Carolina. La 1917 he be-
came Captain of steamboat plying
between New York and New Bruins
wick. Mrs. Vanderbilt keeping the
New Brunswick hotel at which the
passengers spent the night on the way
to Philadelphia. He spent twenty
years in this business under the en-
ployment of Thomas Gibbons.
He now went into the business on
his own account with moderate cap
ital and against the vigorous opposition
of Messrs. Stevens of Hoboken, who
at first nearly exhausted his resources
but finally he succeeded and accumu-
lated an immense fortune.
His next enterprise was a line Of
steamships from New York to Califor-
MIA via Nicaragua. 1t will give some
some idea of the wealth he accumulated
10 this enterprise to say that during the
second year of the war he made pres
emit to the Uniten States of a steam
ship which cost him $500 ,000and which,
at the time was producing him $1,000 a
day.
Since the war he has gradually with
drawn from steamboat operations and
invested in railroads and railroad
bonds. His great success seems to
have mainly consisted in buying up
railway concerns which till then had
been failure, and conducting them
to success by means of his great bust
ness talents. He owned at his death
controlling interest in the New York
Central and the New York Hudson
river railroad. His property at his
death is estimated at over $85 100000.
Vanderbilt was best known here as
the founder and munifcent endower of
Vanderbilt University in our sister
city of Nashville to the funds of which
he has contributed, first and last, over
81 100000. 1t will remain worthier
monument of his anne and memory
than the costlest mausoleum which
could be erected.

EDUCATIONAL.

The CuIleoka Institute, under the
management of the Webb brothers. il
certainly one of the best schools fol-
boys in this State. The motto of the
] Webbs in all their departments is
thoroughness they practice what they
preach. / have never known them
excelled in their system of government
and instruction. No boy. however dull
or depraved, can remain long under
their tuition and training without men
tai and moral improvement. He can
not be their pupil and continue in in
dolenee and ignorance he must ad-
vance.
They have just closed their thir-
teenth session. In many respects the
examination was the best that l ever
attended it was in very high degree
complimentary both to the teachers
and to the students. The exercises
were entertaining they seemed to be
deeply interesting and perfectly de-
lightful to those who witnessed them.
They were entirely relieved of that te-
dunn which sometimes renders such
occasions very fatigueing to portion
of the audience, and quite intolerable
to the rest of them. All who were
present must have felt full convic-
ton of the fact that the whole school
l'had done their work faithfully and
honestly during the five months past.
There was not an inferior class brought
forward. In every instance, whether
in spelling, reading, mathematics, Lat
in or Greek, the visitors were called
upon to select from the text book the
examples to be solved and the para
graphs to be read. And in this man
ner it was made manifest that the
young gentlemen were as we'll prepared
to be questioned on one part as anoth-
er, being perfectly familiar with the
whole book.
The next term will be opened in the
new building. 1t is an excellent edi-
fee; it consists of three large and
commodious rooms, which are cut off
from each other by means of great ele-
waiting door shutters. When these are
drawn up, the whole is thrown into
one vast room, from nearly every point
of which the rostrum is visible. 1t is
by far the best and most conveniently
arranged house in its particular line
that have ever yet seen it is model
structure. Even Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, in all its towering majesty. may
we'll be proud of this which is one of
its correlated academies. Heretofore
the accommodations of the school, so
far as the place of teaching was con-
cerned, were rather inferior; but this
will no longer be the case.
There are already many young men
here from different States in the
Union, and we hope to see the number
greatly enlarged. This locality is
highly favorable for educational pur-
poses. 1t is proverbially healthy and
beautiful in scenery. The people OF
this community are cultivated, refined
and religious. Here your sons will
be entirely free from the ruinous vices
of city life, and surrounded with all
the advantages.and enjoyments of pure
and virtuous society. Send them on
without delay.

The River.

The repeated SUGGESTIONS of intense
cold, heavy snow storms and rapid
thaws have stimulated the Cumberland
river to some fantastic freaks which
will soon be at an end we hope. \
gorge of ice floating down from Nash
villeou Tuesday night struck fat boat
moored at Searcy's ferry and sunk it
with a valuable cargo of machinery.
The gorge gave some trouble and alarm
here without doing any serious dam
age, but down at Palmyra it was ar
rested and caused by its obstruction to
the stream rise of six inches in half
an hour; on Wednesday night it got
loose and caused a sudden fall of four
feet which left the wharf boat
aground, the subsequent rise however
has floated it again. Two more gorges
were Thursday night reported on
their way from above.

New PresbYterian Church.

WE learn with pleasure that our
Presbyterian trends expect to occupy
the basement of their new building as
Church and Sunday School next Sun
day, and that their pastor the Rev. j..
W. Lupton, who has been prevented
from preaching by indisposition since
the commencement of November, will
resume mis- ministerial duties on that
day.
The basement room to be used on
Sunday is 81 feet by 81 AMI y feet high;
besides this the basement contains the
ministers study, several bible class
rooms, furnace room and ladies re-
firing room; the arrangements for heat
ing and ventilation are managed on
strictly scientific principles, and, when
the noble audience room above is COM
pleted, no more perfect church build
ing will compete with it in the South.
Work on the church will not be inter
rupted by this arrangement as Messrs.
Beatty and Gilbert, having finished
the wood work in the basement will
Immediately proceed with that in the
main audience room.
Mr.. p. p. BLISS is announced as
one of the victims of the Ashtabula
horror. The report sent thrill of
pain and sorrow through thousands of
hearts in the North and South the
many who heard and saw him will feel
it most. The irresistible sweetness
and power of his singing made him the
larger element Of attraction in the
meetings held by himself and the evan
gelist Mr.. White. In composing and
rendering the sacred music that has
stirred so many thousand hearts of
late to a new life, he was the leading
spirit. He will be sadly missed.
His wife persisted with him, leaving
several children orphaned indeed. An
effort is being made by Mr.. Moody and
other friends to raise means for their
support. 1t is to be hoped they will
not cease until the matter takes per-
manent form. Without the continued
attention of some competent head the
project will come to naught.
