In letter to the Board of Trustees,
Mr.. Slater writes as follows: "The
general object which Idesire to have
exclusively plssned ia the uplifting
of the lately emsncipated population
Of the Southern States aud their pos

blessing of Ghristian education. The
disabilities formerly suffered by this

OF their prevailing ignorance, and
which exists through NO fault Of their

Nj. Slater purpoaely leaves the
trustees the largest liberty in making
such changes in methods ,ot,applying
the land as may from Tine to time

LAMENT oF ELLEN on THE
DEATH OF HER LOVER,
IT. W. P.


Thetears thasfrom mine eyelids find their
way.
Canill express the feelings Of my heart;
Nor can these tears, though thsy should
foW Tor aye,
allay one pain, or ease me of one smart
ill-tatsd youth consigned to early grave.
Ere manhooda bloom had time to deck
thy years
all unavailing now for me to lave
The turf that sides thee with my bum
ing tears
in vain they try to oaide me Of my wos;;
Remembrance holds me ever to thy
vies;
Ther syniiaihies but args my sorrsS1as
flow,
wake the sngalsh OF ny breast
anew.
Each favonte scene where We were wont
To stray,
Each shady grove ana iv5F-nan1iea
tree,
Has cast It's robe Of lovely green sway
And seems to mourn the loss Of love
and thee. i
The strean that rippIel on with gladden.
ing seng
Is ilusnet, as sympathetic Of my woe,
Andscareely musmurs as it glides along;
While every breeze sighs thoughts OF
long ago
Earth has no charms to bind Iae ;t it
now
It's joys and sorrows have No part in
since Dsath has laid his hand upon thy
erow,
And chilled the spin that woke life in
thee.
The cheering light Of hope il!umes my
soul,
And tells me that | do not weep in
vain
Short space Of time with feeting wing
must roll,
Ana then, united, We shall love again.

Spence, OF this county, was bitten by
dog. The wound healed up and
the child appeared to be in usual
health until Tuesday, the llth ih-
stant, when symptoms Of hydropho-
ihia were observed. Drs. Keitt and
Rutf were sent for, and as soon as
they saw the child pronounced the
case hydrophobia. The sight of wa
ter threw the child into conyuleions,
and chloral and morphine were pow
erless to produce ease or quiet. His
sufftrings were terrible to witness.
He fingered until Thursday in great
agony ond died. The dog that bit
the child exhibited no signs Of being
mad. 1t belonged on the place ard
the child was playing with it when
