week week one OF our local butchers. Mr.. P. B,
Di had c1lOred man bv the name of
tnollas Williams arrested and nut in Jail
lor selling stolen cows. Some time pre-
tIous 10 DIS arrest he came to Mr.. Blount
anu SOFA nlm three head of beef cattle that
piu1eu 70 De the property of Mrs Bird, the
luother-ln.law OF Mr.. Blount. 80 when he
Gam cdI'ed and offered more cattle TOR
saIe ne was promptly arrested, not. how
ever, until the cattle were received. On
Ine following night some one took the
csttie away, and they have not been heard
VI SINCE. This must have been done by a
confederate Of the negro now in Jail. Mr..
olOunt IS out $2l for the cattle belonging
TO Mrs. Bird.
1here is no truth in the report that the
SIate University is to be removed from
Tallahassee. In an interview with the
IdttdhdSSedn Prof. Kost makes public
some interesting facts. department
the Medlcal-has been removed to Jack
sonVllle, and the Anatomical and Pathol-
ogy museums have been removed. But
thls VIII have no damaging effect upon
Tue university, but rather a beneficial.
Jacksonville affords better facilities for
the Medical college, and all gained by
tnese Will accrue TO the benefit of the
university, since the relation of the Med
lcal college to the university is not
changed. In the building occupied here
tofore by the Medical college it is pro-
posed to establish another department of
tne university, if proper arrangements
can he made for this object with the trus-
tees OF the Literary board; and overtures
nave accordingly been formally made to
the trustees, and of such character as
are not likely to be unacceptable.
IL was the original intention TO have the
seat OF all the departments ofthe UNIVERSE
" at Tallahassee, unless union could be
formed with the Agricultural COLLEGE,
winch Is located already elsewhere,
ana which. with its departments,
VIII doubtless be continued where
now located. The prospect Of that
union is good. In case Of tue union of the
Agricultural college and the university,
the Museum of Natural History Will be
transferred to Lake Citv. But if the
Board OF Trustees of the Literary college
Will accept the of r now made to them,
oy which the brick building on
the hill can go to the use of the
new department of the university.
then by this contract there will be Sc
cured fine addition to the buildings Of
the Literary College in Tallahassee for
the reception of greatly more extensive
and attractive Museum of Natural HIS
tory, one that is now offered by Prot. Kost
IN accordance with this new arrange
ment. The arrangement with the Agri-
cultural College Will be no detriment to
Tallahassee as to its university prospects.
Both Tallahassee and Lake Ci will be
benefited. The Agricultural College will
be University institution, and have it's
appliances greatly extended, while
Tallahassee will gain another College
of more Importance than was the Medical
College, while it would gain also an addi-
ton to its college buildings, besides q
great museum. The new college is one to
take position in the university, in accord
with the provisions of the charter of the
university. Ii is an institution already
organized in distant Northern State,
and comprises IN Its faculty men of emit
hence, and at least one of the ablest scien-
lists of the age, one that is so acknowl-
edged all over the land. Besides all this,
it would bring in scores of people
of highest responsibility, that would
follow the institution in location. These
would become citizens of Tallahassee.
Official application has been made by the
authorities of the said institution to the
Chancellor of the university for a position
as a college in our university, aud the
application Will come formally before the
University board for consideration at an
early meeting. Nor win the failure OF
the securing of the said brick buiIdiag
hinder the accession to the university, if
favorable action be taken by it's board.
since there are several other localities
that invite location of either Of the new
departments of the university. Con-
siderable correspondence and personal
official interviews have been had on the
matter of this new accession to our uni
varsity.
