4 State Female College.

Aberdeen Examiner
1t the women of Mississippi wan,
a State female college for the edu
cation of girls, and possessing all
the advantages now enjowed by in
sfiEutions for males-and We think
they ought to have one and the,
have only to unite in general cru
sadc for it, and it Will De bnilt and
literally endowed.
The plan for them to pursue, is
this Have q committee of ladies
appointed in every county in the
State, each committee to thOrOugn>
" cInvass its own county and OBJ
tain the signatures to petition in
that behalf of every woman in IT.,
and. 70 have such petitions cmbody
pledge of the signPrs to oppose
the election to any office, State
county OF municipal, of any man
who is not in favor of the establish
ment of such a college by the legis>
iaiure at its next session.
Then the ladies should hold a
convention at Jackson during the
first week of the session of the next
legislature, III which each comfy
shall De represented By one delc>
gate, and then and there agree up
on the location of the female col
legr, and appoint an executive CON-
mIrtee to wait upon the governor
aud legislature, and submit the
consolidated petition from the ladies
of the State.
This plan will accomplish the de-
sired object, aud accomplish ii
promptly and satisfactorily. Will
not the ladies of Monroe county
take the lead in this matter!

Wheeling BOYS Com phmented.

About two weeks since, the people t
MoundsvlIle were very agreeably sur
prised in the result oi visit by a
party OF young men, who were engaged
ia piscatoriai pursuits at the nsrrows be-
low town. Sergeant llanen was prompt
~ notified tina. another iot Of Benw God
roughs were in town The Sergeant kept
his ewes on said party for at least ha I
a day, wondering how they kept sober so
long until he had a chance to engage
i'm conversation with them, and ascer
tanned that their al electives were not the
same as used by the majority OF the
Young men from Benw9od. Further az.
auaintance proved couclusively that the
Sergeant was on the wrong track, as the
party proved to be Mike Hesrn, Pat
Nichols, Ed. Clayton, Thomas Burke,
and John McIaughling OF the Belmont
mill at Wheeling. They were all clever
and genial gentlemen. When the people
found that they were from the Belmont
mill instead OF Benwood, they felt re-
lieved. They knew that their rain bar
rels were safe, that they could sleep
peacefully. The saloon keepers felt that
their beer glasses were safe, that their
butcher knives would be safe in their
kitchens, that their chairs would be used
for sitting purposes and not for imp!e-
ments OF war. Come again, gentlemen
OF the Belmont mill, Moundsville ex-
tends a hearty invitation to men OF your
character.-MoandsriHe Reporter.
