On the lst Of November, 1882, this
board had accumulated surplus OF
$l6,597. Instead OF establishing an
experimental farm they buy this house
and in 1883 they spent the enormous
sum Of $38.425. Yet there is still
due en- this building $4,000, and al
though in 1888, when it was bought,
the estimated total cost, including In
terest on deferred payments and re-
pairs, only amounted to $l9. .245. it
will have cost by next year consldera'
bly, over $4,000.
There is bitter irony iu what IS
said about this grand department OF
agriculture in the report for 1884:
'"It is in every respect suitable for
the department, is an ornament to the
city, is credit to the State, and by
it's imposing appearance impresses
strangers with the Importance at
tached to agriculture in this State,
and is an indication Of agricultural
progress.
How?
We ask for bread and they give US
a pile of brick instead. We ask for
information and enlightenment, for
encouragement and protection, and

folly and extravaganza.

the same time to call his attention to
the action of the Synods expressing
their desire that the doctrine Of evo'
luton should not hereafter be taught
from that chair, and asking DR.. Wood
row if he would accede to the wishes
of the synods as thus expressed.
The committee waited on DR.. Wood
row in person with the foregoing COM
munication, to which he replied that
he fully recognized the right Of the
Synods to prescribe what sub]ects
should be taught in the Seminary,
and ex; ressed unhesitatingly hisreadl
ness to comply with their require
ments N this respect.
The report Of the committee to the
Board Of the result of their interview
with DR.. Woodrow seems not to have
been conclusive Of the controversy as
was expected, for at midnight another
committee, consisting of DR.. w. D..
Dodge and Mr.. w. ]. Mckay, called
on Dr.. Woodrow with paper from
the Board in which he was asked,
with a view to put stop to further
agitation in the church, to resign.
To this request DR.. Woodrow re
piled that he was not prepared to
answer at present, and the COMMITTEES
returned to the Board with this reply.
On this a number of resolutions
were offered in the Board, intended
to effect his removal, all Of which
we're voted down by the original vote
of Z to 6.
A reporter Of the Register called
on DR.. Woodrow last night 10 seek an
explanation of this singular action o.
the Board and his own views as tc
how the status of aff.iis has been al
fected by it. DR.. Woodrow coulc
only confirm the correctness OF th'
foregoing statement Of facts, withou
haing able to account for the final &C
tion Of the Board in asking his esig
nation.
He was frank in the statement Q
his intention to accept the responsl
biity which the action of the Synod
and the Board had imposed upol
him, and would shortly resume tn
duties of his professorship, which ha
been so long interrupted by the della
Of the Board in reaching the cOnclu
sion communicated to him on Thurs
day morning. He said he would re
gard The second communication, ash
ing his resignation, in which he III
derstcod two Of his supporters in th
Board joined solely on the ground {
allaying agitation in the church,
addressed to his individual judgmeI
and consciousness Of right, that t
would g 7e to it the same weigl
which he would give to similar az
visory counsel from any friend
equal Judgment, but that he coul
not recognize it as Of any official Al
thority whatsoever.
This new episode of the upfortuna
history will be regarded by all tr'
friends Of the church. as introducil
a serious complication into the issu
which will make it more difficult
reach peaceful and harmonious Sc
tlement.
The Board communicated with [
Girardeau through committee WI
view to obtaining withdrawal
his letter of resignation. DR.. Glrt
deau, however, declined to withdrs
his letter, and at their final meeti
yesterday morning his resignation v
accepted.

The Board of Directors of the Theo
logical Seminary held protracted
session on Thursday. all the membera
being present. The meeting lasted
until long after midnight.
The principal subject considered
was the relation Of Drs. Woodrow
and Girardeau to the institution, and
it will be seen that while Dr.. Girar.
deau's connection with the Seminary
as Professor has been finally sever
ed, the remarkable action Of the Board
leaves that of DR.. w oodrow in a more
embarrassing situation than ever.
Ga Thursday morning soon after
assembling The Board reached the
conclusion that the action of the
Board of year ago declaring the
Pe.kins Professorship vacant. not
having been approved by two Synods
constituting. a majority Of. the con.
trolling Synods, the chair was not
vacated.
A committee, consisting of Rev. T.

Colfax, CAL, July 10th, aged sixty-two
years. She was mulatto, and a ma

her heroic conduct at certain fire,
