TnE STATE CoLLEGE.-In the Senate
one day last week Senator Alexander pre-
sented memorial from the trustees OF the
State College asking for the appointment,
of a committee of the Legislature to in.
vestigate the affairs of the College. The
paper provoked considerable discussion in
relation to the institution, but resolution
granting the request Of the memorinlists
was finally adopted. The same resolution
also passed the House and Of course
committee will be named Tor the purpose
indicated. On the part OF the Senate this
committee will consist OF Senators Alcxan-
der, Norris, Holbcn, Mylin and Ncwmcycr.
The names on the part Of the House have
not yet been announced We trust that
the committee will be a fair one, that the
investigation will be thorough and Impair
tial, and that all disputed questions in re-
gard to the College will be fully deter.
mined by the report TO be presented 10 the
Legislature at its next session.
Valentines pay cash or exchange goods

"A prospective foun.ain-to be located
in the centre Of Bcllefontc's beautiful
spring is now agitating the bosom Of En-
gineer Samuel Ryan. We hope he will
be successful in securing subscriptions TO
defrsy the expense Of its erection.
The residents Of Linn street have been
put to considerable Inconvenience during
the past week TO obtain the requisite
quantity Of Adams ale for daily use
While the water superintendent has been
searching for leaks in tho pipes the waser
has been drawn off from that part Of town,
causing a water famine.
Men grow until they are twenty-onc
years Of age women until eighteen, but
grocery stores are subject to no uniform
rule. The grocery store Of Scchlcr & Co.,
of this place, is continually growing in eS-
celIence and in the extent Of its trade.
The large force Of clerks and salesmen is
taxed to its utmost capacity, and still there's
more to follow.
George l.. Struble, siS.year-old son
of Mr. Isaiah Struble, Of Zion, died Of
that dread disease, scarlet fever, on Mon
day night last at II o'clock. The disease
appeared on the Saturday previous and
thus quickly did its fatal work. We learn
that little girl in Mr.. Struble's family Ia
also suffering from the same disease, but
there is every prospect of her recovery.
Miss Hattie Deuel., who died last week
in Iowa City, Iowa, after abstaining from
food for forty-seven days, is called, by way
Of Joke, the fastest woman on record.
The Wdtchman calls her a girl, which
considering her age--ffty.one years--is
probably intended for another joke. But
when we allude to fasting II Is interesting
to note that there is no temptation to fast
when near such grocery store as that Of
Sechler & Co., OF this place. Try that
store and be convinced.
"A frightful runaway occurred about
halfpast four o'clock last Saturday after
noon. A valuable team Of horses belong
ing to Mr.. Perry Gentzel, of Zion, and
attached TO a heavy wagon, broke from
