UNIVERSITY COURSE.

A large and representative audi
ence assembled last Friday night to
hear Prof. Fl. W. Rolfe, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania: lecture on
University Extention, the meaning
of the term, the aim and object of
the work and the immense advance
it has already made in America, al
though started only two Yeas ago.
The movement was begun some fifty
years ago in Oxford and Cambridge
by Mr.. Gladstone aud his contempt
aries, and for the last twenty years
it has formed very important part
of University work. becoming in fact
part of the national life. Two years
ago DR.. PETER, of Philadelphia, or
ganized it in this country, and it has
taken root with marvellous rapidity,
for already many of the State Uni
versities, such as New York, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin, as we'll as
those of Amherst. Chicago and 9th
ers, have thrown themselves enthus-
iastically into the van of the IN ove-
ment, and are educating lecturers
for this special work. The lectures
are given in groups of six, on one
subject as a whole, for instance, En-
glish or American literature or his.
tory. After the lecture an informal
class is held for those who care to
stay, al which time, points not clear
ly understood of the preceding lee
lures are explained or discussed, to-
gether with other matters of interest
bearing on the subject In hand. As
well as this, questions are given, to
oe answered and sent to the lectur-
er for correction, at the end of the
course an examination is held, to
which all are eligible, who have at
tended all of the lectures and an
swered fair proportion of the ques-
tions. In addition, q students asso-
citation is often formed, whereby
those who have most time and incli-
nation agree on plan of study and
meet between the lectures for work.
Thus it will be seen that University
Extension is thoroughly flexible, one
may simply purchase q ticket and
listen to the lectures, or work as lit
lie or as much as circumstances will
allow, up to engaging in course OF
study equal TO the standard of
college curriculum.
After the professor had finished
his remarks, which were listened to
with close attention, DR.. Woods APP
pointed comittee on organization,
consisting of Rev. Trump, Rev.
Caekley and Prof. Cox, who retired
to nominate an executive committee.
This was done and the following Ia
oies and gentlemen being nominated
and elected:

NADENBoUscH-W ILEN.-At l1:25
Il m., N the Trinity NJ. E. Church,
South, on Tuesday last beautiful
wedding was SO emnized the nup.
tia!s OF Mr. Adrian G. Nadenbousch
to MISS Pink Wilen. The altar was
beautifully decorated and the cere-
mony was celebrated without that
abundance of display that marks so
many latter day marriages. The
couple we're preceded up he aisle by
Messrs. r. Frank Barr, DR.. Lee K.
Pennington, Edward Rutledge and
Frank e. Wilson, the ushers. They
were met at the chancel by the pas
tor, Rev. A. M. Cackley, who offic-
lated. Upon the entrance of the
twain, Miss Emma Staley, at the or
gan, played Lohengrin wedding
march, and as the parties returned
from the church, the strains of the
march MendeltShon accompanied
them. For a simple, impressive and
beautiful wedding, we have never
seen prettier one in Martinsburg.
The bride wore travelling dress,
and the couple went from the
church t. the depot where they took
the train for New York and other
points.
Miss Wilen 10 the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Wilen, is an accom-
pished young lady, and has a host
of frirnds. Mr.. Nadenbousch is the
son of ex-Sheriff M G. Nadenbousch,
and is a successful member of the
Berkeley county bar. We congrat-
ulate Mr. and Mrs. Nadenbousch,
nd wish them bon uoyage.

A FEMALE COLLEGE FOR MARTINS
BURG.-At the late meeting of the
Synod of the Potomac, held in the
Reformed Church of this city, the
following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That committee of five
be appointed, whose duties it shall
be to make inquiries to ascertain
where suitable location may be
found, what inducements, grants.
etc, can be secured for the establish
ment of a Female College, south of
Mason and Dixon line, with a view
of transferring the female depart
ment of Mercersburg (Pa.) College
to that place. 1t being clearly rec
ognized by this Synod, that the es-
Enlistment of such an institution is.
at this time an urgent and keenly
felt necessity.
The committee called for In the
above resolution was appointed con-
sisting of Rev. DR.. Eshbach, of
Frederick, Nd, Rev. C. S. Slagle,
Westminster, Md, Mr. McCardell,
of Hagerstown, Md, Gen John A.
Roller, of Harrisonburg, Va. and H.
j. Seibert, of Martinsburg, w. Va.
This means that the Synod intends
establishing Female College either
in Maryland or in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, in some locality that may Of
fer the best inducements. The CON-
mittee has the matter already under
consideration and purpose having
meeting here on the 18th of Dec.
Shall we make an effort to secure its
advantages and benefits for Martins.
burg? Why not? Think the mat
ter over carefully and if you have
any suggestions to make or propos-
ais to offer we shall be glad to learn
of them either through the press of
the city or privately. Don't let this
opportunity pass without some effort
to secure the location of the Female
Seminary in Martinsburg.

LET Us HAVE IT.-The fact that
the committee appointed by the Po-
tomac Synod of the Reformed
Church to examine into the matter
OF establishing college in this Val
ley has called its meeting at this
pltea, clearly demonstrates the Gen.
trail and accessible location of our
city for an educational institution of
this kind D.. J. A. Hoff helms
communication in this issue sets
fo.th tue facts, and oar people should
be glad to embrace the opportunity.
by all means, let us secure this.
Aside from being o financial benefit
to the town, it will afford to all our
citizens an easy channel TO educate
their daughters by giving them
thorough collegiate course without
necessitating the expense of sending
them away from home. The plan
will not conflict with the success of
academic institutions now here, but
will afford means to complete the
course already obtained in our good
schools. The college will have an
able corps of professors and will be-
conducted upon the same plan as
Wellesley and Vassar. With small
effort our citizen can succeed in To-
ca.in g the college here, and the mat
ter rem sins in their hands.

Charged with Violating Federal Law

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 1.-The United
States circuit court grand jury yesterday
returned indictments against Robert
Taylor and Joseph II. Hulcer, judges of
election for jackson ward, Richmond,
and Messrs. James Lyons, Jr., and Will
lam J. Orange, citizens of Richmond,
for violation of the federal election laws.
The offense charged against the two
judges is that, having ordered several
deputy marshals from the polls, and said
deputies refusing to obey, they ordered
their arrest and commitment to the city
Jail of Richmond under the state law,
which confers that authority upon all
judges of election. Messrs. Lyons and
Orange took the marshals to Jail, as di-
rected by the judges, hence their in

WASHINGTON, Dec. Tom Wat

man, will probably be expelled from
the house. During the early part of the
session, you remember, the committee
appointed to investigate his charge that
drunken members reeled about the floor
of the house, found that the charge was
false. but made no recommendation and
when the report was made the house
took no action. The reason for neither
recommendation nor action was the fear
that either might make martyr of the
Alliance member and assist him in his
efforts to secure his reelection. But
now that danger is past, and it is much
more than likely that the house will call
up the report and adopt resolution
which will be made to expel him.
