The WanderiBgs of "A Case Of
Wine.
New York Tribune, 10.


A journalist Of this city took a trip
abroad last June, accompanied by
his wife. They sailed on the steam
ship Greece, OF the National lane.
Friends sent flowers, fruit and q case
OF champagne. Several bottles were
drank by friends before the steamer
left tie pier in wishing the voyagers
a pleasant trip, and two we're used on
the voyage. One half Of the contents
OF the case remained when thosteamcr
anchored in the Thames river,
When the owner departed for the
continent he left directions to have
bis steamer chairs, rug, etc, and the
case OF wine placed in the steamship
companys storage ware house. When
he returned he found all the articles
n store, except the case Of wine.
The customs officers had obiscted Ia
its being landed unless the duty was
paid or it was placed in bond. The
result was that the case was left on
board of the Greece, the chief seward.
Mr.. Ross, taking charge of it. The
Greece was taken as a trOop-ship b,
the British government and departed
for Egypt; having on board 4th
Dragon Guards. The steamer wa.
used for transport service until the
close Of the Egyptian war.
On Sunday. November 16, the
Greece reached this port for the frs
time since June last. The Journalist
paid a friendly visit to Captain Pearct
and Steward Ross, and was very much
surprised when told by the latter thal
the case OF wine was on board await
ing his claim. 1t was sent to the
house of the owner, where it wa,
drunk BY a few friends, of whom the
two officers Of the Greece, already
mentioned, formed a part.

II is now an assured fact that Chat

succeed in securing the large uniyer.

Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop
Warren, Of the Board of Trustees,
and who will be chairman Of the
locating committee, was 10 the CITY a
few days since, and stated that ali the
Conferences except one had appointed
committees to solicit the location, and
he was directed by that one to repre-
sent 1t at the session. The committees
will meet in a short time at some place
hereafter to be designated BY Bishop
Warren, the Chairman. He states he
will call the committee together in a
few weeks. 1t consists of6fteeu mem
beers representatives Of all the confer.
ences, and it will submit TO the board
OF trustees the names of three places
best fitted, in their judgment for the
university. The trustees will take
their recommendation under advise
ment and will select one Of the mum.
Der. It is we'll understood that ten Of
the fifteen members favor Chatta

trustees are almost unanimousin favor
OF our city. This proves we'll nirb
