The Seminaries.-Mr. Charles f. Thwing
has been collecting the statistics of the theological
seminaries and says =" The wealthest of the
theological schools are the Presbyterian. Prince
ton has buildings valued at $274,OO and funds
amounting to nearly 100000. The Union
Seminary of New York holds real estate worth
$4,000 and funds worth S7OO,OOO The Sem
mary at Auburn, New York, possesses half a
million, 100000 in real estate, 100000 in
funds. Of these two kinds of property the
Seminary at Chicago has respectively $500, 900
and $4,000. The Western Theological Sem
mary at Allegheny City, Pa, has funds slightly
exceeding $330,000. The Lane Seminary pos
sesses property aggregating 100000. These
six institutions hold one fourth of the entire
amount of property owned by the one hundred
and twenty four seminaries in the country
The Boards.-The full receipts of the
Boards of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church for the year ending May 1st were $780,
0S0.49, small advance on last year. The
balance in the treasury at the close of the year
was 1865 20.
The Freedmens Committee at Pittsburgh
received $4,000 more than last year, fact
which must be very gratifying to Dr. Allen, the
new Secretary, in the beginning of his labors for
this cause.

engaged and will accompany the Sir
Knights. A number of the Knights
drilled last evening and by their prof.

forgotten their former training IN the
school OF the knight Templar." An
other drill is called for this evening at
7:30, and it is hoped that many will be
present who were absent last night.
After the conservation OF the asylum,
banquets will be held at the Fulton,
Valentine and Aud hotels. II the day
is q fair one the parade will be the
finest one ever held in Washington, as
the Pittsburgh Communicates have
taken hold of the matter in earnest and
are doing everything in their power to
make it success. The dedicatory SER

FOR BEST DISPLAY OF FURNITURE AND
FINE UPHOLSTERY.

The house that gained this medal Is
the most extensive advertiser in Wheel.
ing, and as liberal patrons OF the press,
We are glad to note that their methods
OF doing business, their extensive stock,
their facilities, and, above all, their an.
questioned taste in the selection OF
goods and opportunities for displaying
them, are deserving of being kept con.
SANITY before all readers OF newspapers.
1t would take page OF our paper, print
ed in fine type, TO make notice that
would do justice to all the departments
OF this magniticently conducted business
house; its large carpet stocks OF all pat.
terms, makes and qualities; Gifts various
grades OF furniture, its undertaking, re-
pairing and upholstery braches; so We
shall dwell but shortly on the latter.
Under charge OF Mr.. James Wheat,
the upholstery department of Mendels
has grown to be store Of itself. BY his
ingenuity and invention, his untir.
ing energy and unchallenged taste a
spirit OF improvement in the adornment
OF homes has sprung up and to his ludg.
ment, perhaps, more than to that OF any
dozen men in the city, can be ascribed
the admiral arrangement OF furniture
and window upholstery that makes 30
many Wheeling dwellings as elegant
and tasteful as can be found anywhere.
The head of the house, Mr.. G. Ed.
MendeI, is too we'll known for his enter
Prise to need any special notice in the
columns OF any newspaper, but in con-
nection with the magnificent display
made at the Fair, we might say here,
that to him, the entire Fair itself owes
much for it's success and with this claim
to public esteem and with such an es.
Enlistment as he presides over, it is
strange il the house OF Mendel & Co.
does not take additional and larger
strides than ever in its ever-growing
patronage.

dered here. Good luck goes with both

demona, driven by II. J. Ritter, was
challenged by some one, and the Judges
at first sustained the challenge, on the
score that a horse not having taken a
heat in five must be taken from the
track. To this decision Mr.. Ritter siren
uously objected, and SO vigorously did
he push his point that the
Judges finally receded from their
position, and all the animals
were at last started, Neshannock in the
lead, followed by Mohawk Kate and
Brentwood. Desdemona also did some
good trotting in this heat, while Blue
Jeans was magnificent fifth. Neshan-
nock's bad breaking, however, was too

heat in 2:42l, Brentwood second, Des'
