Prof. G. s. w. Crawford, whose
turn, in regular order it was to con-
duct morning prayers, then road
the 24th Psalm and several other
passages, showing that the silver
and gold are the Lords, and that
He turneth the hearts of men as
the rivers Of waters. He then made
some very touching remarks con-
corning the early restitution, strug-
giles and faith Of the friends of this
Institution. Also its resuscitation
from the very ashes after the war
Its funds before the war had only
risen to $4,000. These had been
mostly lost, its buildings and libra
ry destroyed. Its whole remaining
a sets were rot over $4,000 in 1866.
Prof. Crowford was himself one
of thirteen who came together, as
the first class that attempted to
enter upon renewed study, under
the indefatigabie labors ofthe saint
ed Prof. Thomas J, Lamar, who
was truly a second founder of
Maryville College. The building
which they first entered in 1866,
would not now be deemed fit for
human occupation.
Not long afterward, Mr.. Baldwin
of Orange, n. j., then drawing near
to death by consumption, had bis
attention called to the needs OF
Maryville College, then struggling
into renewed existence. He gave
: to it about $4,000 with which and
with some other funds, Prof. Lamar
was able to secure our present am
pie grounds and to erect these com
modious buildings. Prof. Crawford
said that both the first and second
foundations of this College were
laid in "prayers, tears and self-de
NAL" He believed that "the glory
, of the latter house was to be greater
, than that of the former" and hi
prayer was that the cloud of the

This is in answer to the accumula.

ted prayers Of seventy-0ne years,
None rejoice in this event, believe,
more heartily than the large body
of grateful students gathered here
this morning, for whose benefit, and
for that Of their successors, this no.
BILE offering has been bestowed. 1t
seems eminently appropriate that
now and here, at this early hour Of
our Joy, we unite alphabetically
and Students. In thanksgiving to
God, and in a renewed conservation
of this venerable and favored school
to the service of God.
This large endowment will add
breadth, amplitude and solidity to
all our means of doing good and of
clarifying God. These very build
ings seem to stand higher and
stronger from the added support
thus promised. May this added
gift be wholly consecrated to Christ.
Henceforth may this College, these
ample grounds and all these build
ings be more entirely Immanuels ;
without the slightest selfish reserve
on the part of any one connected
with them. May the Holy Spirit
come and abide here in millennial
power. We dedicate this College
anew to-day to Jehovah, the Triune
God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost
We pray that souls may in great
numbers be converted and sancti.
fed here; and that the education
here bestowed from generation tc
generation, and from century tC
century may be penetrated and
pervaded with the working of the
Holy Spirit.
This bequest may, in the Provi
dence of God, mark a dividing line
between former comparative de-
pendence and future considerable
amplitude of provision for the
broad and noble work here o
Christian education. In any even
1t is a suitable time for a deeper
and more joyful conservation.

He Left $3.50.

The will of the late j. Young Scam
mon was admitted to probate at Chi
cage, the 25th. Mr.. Scammon left an
estate worth $3.50. This was not sur
prise to those who were familiar with
the financial history of the dead pio-
neer. Mr.. Scammon was considered
one of the richest men in Chicago be-
fore the great fire. Much of his estate
went up in smoke, and what was left
was engulfed in the panic of 1873. Ever
since his loss of property, which Charles
F. White, fer seventeen years Mr.. Scam

value, Mr.. Scammon devoted himself
to retrieving his fortunes. AS the de-
velopments in the probate court show

LOUISVILLE, March 30.-Snow began
falling here about P. NJ. It melts as
fast as it falls, and has the effect of
gentle rain. But there has been moth
ing like heavy storm, and no prospect
OF one. The flakes settle gently, and in
the five hours that the snow has been
continuous not more than two inches
have fallen. Nearly everywhere some
measures have been taken to protect
property in the roohess territory. In
many places temporary roofs of long
planks have been put ON, and in
few instances permanent work
has been nearly finished. Tarpaulins
and whatever else will turn water have
been pressed into service, and the dam
age Will be greatly iessened. At the
tobacco warehouses nearly everything
Is under tarpaulins or other protection.
Crowds OF men We're set to work in
them when it was plain that snow or
rain would fall, and farmers consign-
ments, along with manufacturers pur-
chases, were made as secure as possible.
In spite of all, however, the loss will be
considerable, and may reach well to-
ward 100000.
No work has been done on the ruins
to-day, except by individuals, and no
bodies are reported taken out anywhere
