CONTRIBUTORIAL. IIY JAB. WOOD DAVIDSON. OOLUMBIA, 80UTH CAROLINA, 24TH JUNE, 1887. The Negroes. The object of the abolitionists was formerly be lieved to be the abolition of slavery. Mr. Wrigh says that is not, at present, their object; but it i to abolish the negro. This is true; but we fear the negro will not se it until it is too late for him to gain anything b; his knowledge. Meats. The prices at which meats are retailed in on market vary a great deal, the variation dependinj upon the supply, the competition, and a variety o circumstances. Beef ranges from ten to twenty cents per pound mutton, from fifteen to twenty. Though money is exceedingly scarce sometimes prices of provisions do not appear to be aware o the scarcity. The Railroads. We mentioned the snarl last week. The farce goes on. Let us recapitulate a few points, in order to kee] the plot of the drama in view. On the 29th o ?\fatr flio A nnmofo Ttnilrrmrl rlpflired tn rross thi South Carolina Railroad, on Rioe street. The lat ter company put a car and engine upon their roac at that point, thus rendering it impossible for the other road to cross. On the 7th of June the Citj Council took the matter in hand, and ordered th< S. C. R. R. to remove the obstructing car and en gine, which the road declined to do. On Saturday the 15th inst, the City Council, through its police removed the obstructing car and engine by force o muscle; and thereupon the Augusta track was laic across. On Monday, the 17th, the S. C. R. R. through its employees, tore up the crossing. . Oi the 18th, the City Council fined the parties wh< tore it up as follows?the Agent, Mr. Bollin, ii the sum of $20, and three employees, $19.50 each Southern Review. Through the courtesy of the Librarian of th< University, we have been permitted to examine th< first two numbers, (January and April of the cur rent year) of this periodical, edited by Messrs Bledsoe and Browne, in Baltimore. We are impressed with it as being one of the best American reviews we have ever seen. The subjects are well-chosen, both as to range and va riety; the articles are ably written, without beinj too heavy; and the critical opinions just and giver without too much euphemism, and with a manh earnestness that commands attention and deserve1 respect The most of the reviewing seems to b< done without gloves ; and this, in itself, is a thin; so rare and so desirable, that we cannot oommenc it too highly. Away, say we, with the namby pambyism of kid-gloved criticism and the per fnmo'l anil honnwrdered nedantrvof the Lord Dun drearian school of reviewers, that American litera ture has been so long cursed with. The Southern Review is issued quarterly, at $; a year. We take oocasion to commend it to those whe need a review, and who want something bettei than the North American Review ; for that quar terly, with all its ability, is so local and sectional that a Southern man can hardly read an article ii it without finding a fling at the South, or at some th;ng held sacred here. Negroes and Free Schools. We have mentioned already the petition of the negroes to be exempt from the payment of citj taxes. This petition the City Council have actec upon. No change is made. The ground of thf petition was that, as the negroes pay taxes, for fret schools, they ought to be exempt from that tax a.< long as they are excluded from the schools. Th< Committee of the Council, to whom the matter was referred, report that "the city levies no tax foi stTeet work, but simply demands twelve-days' work per annum on the streets, in accordance with th< laws of the State and city, and at the option of th( party, the city grants immunity from this labor bj the payment of a small sum ? all of which, anc more, is necessarily expended on the work of the streets. In regard to the tax alleged to be collected for the support of the Alms House, Orphai House and free schools, we [the Committee h speaking] are not aware that any such tax is levied, except by the State Tax Collector as poor tax. from which the city receives its quota, and is onl} o r>oT+:nl eiinnnrtnf ttiA nnnr ThA TTnitPfi States ?* V?v ? tax is levied on all citizens alike, from which th( colored citizens exclusively receive the benefit ol free school and hospital accommodations, and mort advatageously than could be at present dispensed by the city authorities." This puts the matter in a new light, a strong light, and ? which is more to the point ? a tru( light. 4 THE ARMY WORM. The Staunton Spectator gives the.following in teresting account of an invasion of army worms which recently came into Augusta county, Virgin ia. i;For the first time within our knowledge, the ar my worm has appeared in this county, although i is said that a similar invasion occurred fifty year &go. Learning that the host was to be seen abou a mile and a half from town, on the Churchvill< road, we went out last Friday afternoon to take 5 look at it We did not mingle much in the crowd but contented ourself with hanging on the flunl and surveying the line of march passed over. W< saw enough, however, to gratifv a reasonable curi osity. On one side of the road is an oak forest stripped of every leaf and presenting the appearance of mid winter. On the other side is a wheat field, and beyond that, on a hill, another forest when the worms are at work consuming the foliage.? This forest is visible from several points in town and looks as if the trees along the border, as far ai the worms have penetrated, had been killed by fire, The worms do not consume all kinds of greer leaves, but pass by the locust, sassafras, wild-grape blackberry, huckleberry, &c. They do not seem t* injure field crops of any kind. At the point when we examined them, they were considerably mixec up with seven-year locusts, but as well as we coulc judge both parties were amicably disposed. Th< general appearance of the worm is similar to tha of the common caterpillar. There are differences however, which we are not naturalist enough t< describe, and the habits of the two are very differ ent. The caterpillars which infest our orchard: live in water-proof tents or webs, and never leav< the tree on which they are hatched until they an fully grown and ready to pass into the chrysali: state. Then they wander off in search of suitabh places for winding themselves up in their cocoons TrrViinVi fViQTT omorrro finnllw no Vm1AQ fll rather moths. When seen wandering about ai large they are done feeding. Previous to this tim< they remain in their tents, only going out upon tht tree in diy weather to feed, about nine o'clock ir the morning and about, three in the afternoon.? Their habit in this respect is remarkably regular The army worm has no tent, but spends its days and nights out of doors. They hang together raort than the other species, forming in many place* clumps or knots around the twigs to which the] cling. Persons who have seen more of the army ir our vicinity than we have, say it is a half mile wide, and approaching the West View road, moving ir a South-west direction. Where they came from and how they intend to dispose of themselves, art i mysteries to us at present We do not believt they have marched very far, or will go many mile* further. They will probably soon hide theruselve; under chips and stones, or in the earth, and re-ap pear in a Few weeks as night moths. These motn; will deposit their eggs in the forest, and from then a new horde of worms will hereafter come forth or another grand crusade. We have heard it suggest ed that a few fires kindled at night in the wood; when the moths appear, would attract and destro] very many of them." Tiie Banks and Billholders.?A very im portant case has just been argued in the Cireui v Court, in this city, involving the right of the cred itors or billholders of the Banks to require and en force a settlement by the latter. The case is tha of John Baxter vs. The Merchant's Bank of New bcme and others, stockholders : bill in Equity brought by the plaintiff as a creditor of the Banl for the recovery of a large amount of the bills o the Bank held by him. The case was argued b] Samuel F. Phillips and Thos. Ruffin, Jr., Es quires, for the plaintiff, and B. F. Moore, E. G. Haywood and Thos. Bragg, Esquires, for the de fendants. On Monday the Chief Justice announced the - opinion of the Court in this case. Demurrer of defendants as to the Bank overruled?demurrer as 1 to the stockholders sustained?costs reserved. After the Bank is shown to be insolvent, the plaintiffs !_ can sue stockholders for double the amount of stock t subscribed, to liquidate liabilities. g Raleigh Standard. NOTES OF TRAVEL. e Dear Enquirer:?In my last letter to you, I y promised to give you some account of the Falls of Niagara. While at Buffalo, I learned that the route by the Falls was more desirable than any r other. In the afternoon I stepped into the acl oomraodation train, which hastened off along the f banks of the Niagara River. It went as fast as usual, but seemed to move quite too slowly; for all > are eager now to see the wonders just ahead. At length the train stopped, and it was announced !> that we were at the place. I was amused at the f hack-drivers here. Some posts had been put up and a large chain stretched around, and these noisy fellows were inside of this area. This is done that each one may have an equal chance to get his portion of the visitors. There were about a dozen of [) them leaniDg forward over the chain, crying out f the names of their hotel, and saying, "bus!" e "bus!" "Mr. don't you want a bus?" I thought - I would about as soon buss so many bull-dogs in a 1 cage. Then stepped up to me a smooth-tongued > carriage driver, and said, "I have a nice carriage and 7 will take you to all the important places, and show i you all, and will charge you only a trifle." I a greed with him for a small amount, got into his 7 coach and was soon conveyed to the bridge, which , crosses the river just above the American Falls.? f By paying toll, we went over on Goat Island, 1 and were soon standing on the edge of the awful , precipice, gazing on the everlasting torrents as they l roll over, and thunder down in the sea below. > About a mile above the Falls, the Niagara river i divides into two prongs. These take a curving di rection around a piece of wood-land which is known as Goat Island. These two prongs come nearly toj gether at the lower end of the Island, just before > they reach the precipice. The prong which runs . around the American side, leaps over a precipice , 180 feet high, and is called the "American Falls." There are two divisions of these Falls. One of i these is a solid sheet of water 660 feet wide, while ; the other is 100 feet wide. Just above the Falls - is a little green Isle known as Luiui Island, which ; divides this prong of the river and forms the two i sheets of water. The American Falls then, are 7 760 feet wide. This immense sheet of water is j almost as straight and as perpendicular as the walls ? of a house. r About three hundred yards from the inner side 1 of the American Falls are the Canada Falls, roar ing with increasing and deafening thunders. These . are much more sublime than the American Falls. - That prong of the river which flows around on the - Canada side, is much larger than the other. The edge of the huge rock over which this part of the > river rolls, is shaped somewhat like a horse Shoe; and for this reason is called the' 'Horse Shoe Falls.'' ) From the Island there is a foot bridge, leading out r to the verge of the precipice, at which point there . Is a stone tower into which you ascend and look , down into the thundering curve of the awful Horse i Shoe Falls. While "up there for the first time, . looking down into the violent waters, and the awful depths beneath, deafened by the many thunders of all the falliug waters, the immense rock on , which the tower stands trembling, and the tower r itself seeming ever to be leaning over ready to I tumble into the boiling abyss below, the astounded ? spectator dreads to remain, and dreads to leave i there. I then went back and the driver took me around j the Island, which I found to be nearly circular, I and a plaoe of interest He then drove over the . bridge and I left him, to wander about by myself. . I soon meet an old man with one eye, an umbrella , under his arm, and on his head was a cap with a \ broad leather brim standing upright, with this in\ scription, "The Old Guide." Of course, he wantI ed me to employ him to show and explain to me , all the wonders. He said he was the only approved guide to the Falls, pulled out a paper which he , called his diploma, authorizing him to act as guide. . He said all the carriage drivers were only after money, and took no pains to explain the mysteries. I started on, and he said "I will go with you to a \ few places and will not charge you anything." We . wandered down the stream. He pointed to a rock , out there in the rapids, and said, "Do you see that p rock?" "Well, just so many years ago, in a cer ; tain month, on such a day, two Germans took a [ pleasure excursion in a little sail boat above the rapids. It was in the evening. They did not ref turn that night, and no one knew anything of them. \ Next morning one of them was found clinging to a log lodged against that rock. Soon, thousands of persons were standing along the banks of the river, eager to save the man. At last a small life-boat " was let down the rapids by means of ropes held by > persons on the bridge above. The boat came near * the unfortunate man, who attempted to leap from the log into the boat But being benumbed with ^ cold, he missed the boat and fell into the rapids, s and in an instant was dashed over the precipice t into the boiling flood below." "Now," said the ? old guide, "you see the benefit of a pilot I could i tell you many other interesting things which, with' out a guide, you could not know." But I chose [ to go on without him. Soon I stood upon ProsI pect Point, where I looked along the American ( Falls from end to end, and could see at the same i glance of the eye, the great Horse Shoe Falls curvi ing around in front, a half mile distant. This i point affords a fine view of both Falls. The banks of the river below the falls arc 180 3 feet high, and 1200 feet from bank to bank. If . you turn your back on the falls while on Prospect 1 Point, and look down the river, you can see the fa1 mous Suspension Bridge, two miles below, striding , this mighty chasm. They are now beginning to ' i n _ -n . a. V _1 it. [ duiiq anotner suspension xmage just oeiow me I falls. I now descended a flight of steps, a disi tance of several hundred yards, to the river, at the 1 base of these high banks, where I got into a ferry ^ boat, and was soon out on the angry confused wa. ters just below the falls. The spray rose in a cloud 3 and rained on us until we were wet We were soon 5 safe on the other side of the dangerous flood. We s then wound up the bank on the Canada side, until s we reached its top. Then we went up the river ' about half a mile to the Table Rock, from which point we obtained the finest view of all the mighty t falls. 5 WTxile I was walking along the beautiful Canada 5 shore, I caught myself musing thus: "There has 1 always been some doubt in my mind whether I was ever before out of the United States or not.? j When South Carolina seceded we thought we were ; out; but the Yankees denied it. When we surren> dcrpd. we said we were never out of the Union, but 7 our Northern friends said we were out. But now 1 I am certain that I am out of the Union." But [ as reconstruction is so desirable, I soon retraced | my steps and went back into the Old Union. - While standing on Table Rock, I thought that 5 no tongue could describe the grandeur of the scenej ry. Beneath, far down in the thundering abyss, . could be seen mists and clouds, rolling billows and i foaming floods. Just in front were the curving i walls of the Horse-Shoe falls, where a sea is forever 1 turning a somerset, a huge river standing up" right. Then far over in front, to the left, the ' broad silver sheets of the American falls are seen. It was a cloudy afternoon on which I stood on the Table Rock. The thunder in the clouds above was the report of a pistol; while a thousand of the largest cannon rolled their unceasing thunders in the . cloudy charm beneath. Rainbows belted the cloudy t heavens above, and adorned the sombre cavern - below. ? One mile above the falls, the bed of the river bef comes au inclined plain, which descends sixty feet j before it reaches the precipice, and is full of large -1 rocks and small islands. While I stood on the Table Rock, the cloud in the Heavens, seemed to rest on the river, just one mile above where the waters begin to hurry off in a run to make their leap over the precipice. It looked just as if an immense flood-gate had been lifted in the Heavens and all this sea of waters was rushing from the cloud. I have used the word thunder oftener than the rules of Rhetoric allow; but unceasing and unvarying Thunder is the grand idea in the mind of him who has visited these falls. I do not believe that the vision and the sound of this wonderful place will ever be lost in my imagination. In the night or in the day, though two thousand miles aaway, I can take my stand on Prospect Point, or Table Rock, or Terrapin Tower and gaze with trembling awe and admiration upon these wonders of nature. There are many traditions told here, about the Indians in by gone-days. It is said that they used to assemble here from all parts to worship t;he Great Spirit of the falls. Here they made their costliest sacrifices. The most beautiful daughters of the tribes were selected, put into a canoe in the rapids above and borne over the cataract as an act of devotion. On one occasion, the daughter of an Indian chief was selected for the victim. She was the fairest of all their daughters. It was an honor to the Chief and his lovely girL Neither the daughter nor the father could refuse. She placed her lonely form in the canoe and bade farewell to her father and friends as she darted off in the violent waters. The father, overcome with love and grief, seized his own bark, and darted to her side. The daughter looked into the father s face, and he into her's once more, just as they both leaped down into the abyss below. Who could keep from rendering homage to the God of these falls ? G. GOOD ADVICE TO LADIES. Madame Elise Duprez, of Boston, wishes to call the attention of ladies to two of the finest articles in the world, one of which, Turkish rouge (made in Boston,) "gives the most beautiful ana life-like tint to the complexion of any article now in the market'' Therefore, any body who possesses "any article now in the market," whatever that be, wash-tubs, patent bee-hives, or whatever else, can have "a most beautiful and life-like tint" given to the complexion; at least, that is what Madame Elise Duprez, whose real name is probably something as prosaically Yankee as Sampson, says in her advertisement But there is more of assurance to come. "The great value of this article lies in the tact that it will not rub off." That is, it is water-proof; perepiration will not loosen it. and tears?if any one is so unfashionably emotional as to shed any?will not streak it; nor will a well restrained betrothal kiss spot if As for the pores of the skin, they are quite too small to be regarded in the case, and the worn out matter whicn they are intended to throw off the system can be carried inward to the vital organs, which are vulgar things, but fortunately out of sight. There is a rouge older than any sold at the stores. It has been very prodigally used, but there is always a large stock remaining. It is perfectly water-proof when once appjied, and is said, in a proverb, to be thicker than* water, and yet it penetrates the most attenuated spaces. It will not rub off, but the harder it is rubbed, the more vivid it appears. This wonderful "rouge," not of Turkey, particularly, but of everywhere, is called blood. It is something that infuriates animals which see it, which has apparently transported Mr. Bergh into unreasoning.sorrow that it should ever be shed, and at which it is the fashion to scream prettily, or faint judiciously. It exists in the human body, and, when not prevented by sluggish habits and tight dress, circulates through every part of it, penetrating every minutest portion, performing the double work of a dredge which removes the deposits of waste, and a supply boat, which carries to every fibre of muscle and every tiny vessel a fresh portion of nourishment It is precisely of such character as the quality of the food which makes it and the assistance or hindrance which it finds in its work. It makes lilywhite complexions with an underflush of rose, but it does not make chalky ones, Dor does it consent to any artificial email. It does not omit to visit the cheeks, but when the deposits to be removed are large and the supply of fresh organic matter to be dispensed is scanty. this may easily happen, to wit: that before the blood reaches the cheeks, on its journey round the body, the little supply boats which carry the fresh matter are emptied, and the little dredges are filled. Hence are pale cheeks and a demand for rouge; and forthwith appears Madame Elise DuDrcz, just from the Palace of the Rising Sun, where she was head femme dc chambre to Aurora, bringing the very thing which was wanted. But is it wanted ? That is the question. Here is just the pith of the matter: Blood was made and its movements ordered long before there were any looking glasses or chignons, or fashions, and hence it does not pay any attention to them : the mountains was the older, and respectfully declined to go to Mahomet. Blood does not like close dresses, or pastry, or confectionery, or hot rooms, or languor on cushions, or late hours and meals, or elegant indolence, or email, or any sort of dishonesty; but it does like wholesome food in moderate quantities, pure cool air?particularly that which is found out of doors?ana it likes exercise best of of all things. It delights in rubbing, and when cold water strikes it out of sight, it rushes back in the pluckiest way. It would be thrilled in ecstasy if people would only use their legs in brisk walking, particularly before six o'clock in the morning; it would renew its youth for any woman who'sliould dare to swim, or run, or pull an oar, and would bound in the veins of any one who should ride at a five barred gate. Like Madame Duprez's, its rouge will not rub oft'. "This is no humbug," but the more it is rubbed the more it will stay on. # Better to slap your eheeks, dear young fragillissima, than to rub anything on them from the establishment of Madame Duprez. You will not be too sanguinary if you protest that you must have blood.?New York Evening Gazette. ? gSy* In Charlotte and Charleston the bar-rooms have all been closed according to general ordeis from Headquarters.

CHARLESTON, Juno 22.?Cotton.?A heavy gale from the East, accompanied by rain, which prevailed during a part of the day, prevented buyers from attending to out-door transactions, and there were no sales of Cotton during the day.? Quotations nominal. CHARLESTON, Juno 20.?Cotton.?The stock of the staple on the market at this point has become so much reduced that business is on a very restricted scale, and on some days is almost nominal. There has been some demand for the better grades of Cotton for the Northorn market, but this quality, which is in very light supply, is either held at very Arm figures or is not placed on sale. The common qualities are dull, ana are generally sold at rates in favor of the purchaser. Prices have been quite steady during the week, opening somewhat nominal at*25c per lb. for Middling Uplands, and closed yesterday at about the same rate. The receipts have been 2 bales of Sea Island and 731 bales of Upland Cotton, against 4 bales of Sea Island and 1730 bales of Upland Cotton the week before. The following is a statement of the business in the article for the past week: On Friday, the 14th instant, the supply of the staple on the market was so limited, and, in most instances, held at such firm figures, that purchasers found it difficult to operate, and the sales were limited to 40 bales, quotations boing somewhat nominal at 25c per lb for Middling. On Saturday there was an active inquiry, but in the absence of good Cotton, which is held above quotations, the transactions were, to a great extent, confined to the lower qualities. Sales 173 bales, on tho basis of 23J to 24c. for Low Middling and 2a to 26c. per ft for Middling. On Monday the demand was light, and the inquiry was almost entirely for gooa Cotton, which was lirin; but the common grades wero dull and difficult of sale. The transactions were 71 bales, at about the prices of the day before. On Tuesday the market was quiet. Sales 71 bales, Middling Uplands being quoted at 241 to 251c. per pound. On Wednesday there was but a light business done, the enquiry being very limited. Sales 52 bales, principally of the common grades, Low Middling selling at 24c. per lb. Yesterday there was but little Cotton on the market, and the business of the day amounted to only 24 bales, say 2 at 22, 2 at 25, and 20 at 26c per pound. Corn.?There have been received about 30,000 bushels of this grain during the week. A steady demand prevails for country consumption, ana the market which opened dull at about $1.35 per bushel, weight, bags included, for prime White, rather stiffened at the close, and prime White sold at $1.36 per bushel, weight, bags included. Wo note tho following sales, say 3600 bushels prime White at $1.35 per bushelj weight, bags included; 1200 bushels prime White at $1.36 per bushel, weight, bags included, and 3224 bushels prime White at $1.36 per bushel, weight, bags included. r LOUR.?xne reports lrum iuu new crop coniuiing good, prices have, under its influence, still further receded, and we quote Northern and Western Super at $11 per bbL ; Northern and Western Extras $12 to 12 50 per bbl.; Baltimore Super $11 to 11 50 per bbl.; Baltimore $13 per barrel. Messrs. Stenhouse <fe Co., of our city have received the first supply of new Southern Flour from Messrs. G. T. Jackson <fc Co., Granite Mills, Augusta, Geo., a most superior article, and the "Extra" of which brand they offer at $17 per bbl. They are in receipt of South Carolina brands of Extra, from McBees' Mills, Greenville, and other points, which they offer at $16 per bbl.

THE Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery was organized in 1848. Chartered by the Legislature, February 28,1853. Name changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia in 1860. In 1883 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical College, established in 1842, ana the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been merged into the Pennsylvania Medical College. In 1864 it purchased the Penn Medical University. The Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned, and obtained a special act of "the Legislature, consolidating these Institutions and changing their names to that of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, March 15, 1865. All these various acts are published in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the building and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will be observed that the University, as now organized. Is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that it haa absorbed. It la a liberal school of medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical clique; bat embraces in its teachings everything of value to the profession. Sessions.?It has two full sessions each year, commencing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January as its first session, and from the 1st of January to the 1st of April as lis second; the two constituting one full course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing the 1st of April and continuing until August for the preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek, Mathematics^ Bo tan y^ Zoology, Chemistry, Anat UiliV, JTUJBiUlUKjj Tickets.?Tickets to the full course of lectures $120, or $60 for each session. For the summer or preparatory course $25. Graduating fee $80. To aid young men of moderate means, the University has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to first course students, for $75, and to ,?econd course students and clergymen for $50. each constituting the holder a life member, with the perpetual privileges of the lectures, and all the teachings of the school. The only additional Uses are a yearly dissecting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5. The Advantages of Scholarships.?The student holding a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the institution as frequently as dasired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can pqpeeeute other business a part of the time. ' ? The candidate for graduation can present himself at any time, and receive his degree as soon as qualified. In case a student should hold a scholarship and not be able to attend lectures, it can be transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians, or friends of studedts wishing to purchase scholarships for them a year or more before their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half the price, and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow neat benefit upon poor young men, by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to obtain an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. The University has associated with it a large hospital clinic, where every form of medical and surgical disease is operated on and treated in the presence of the class. College Building.?The College building, located in Ninth Street, south of Walnut, is the finest in the city. Its front is oollegiate- gothic, and is adorned with embattlements and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold and beautiful appearance.? The facade is of brown stone, ornamented by two towers, rising to the elevation of eightyfeet, and crowned with an embattled parapet. The building contains between fifty and sixty rooms, all supplied with water, gas, and every other convenience that modern improvement can contribute to facilitate medical instruction. Only five hundred scholarships will be issued, and as two hundred and fifty are now sold, those who wish to secure one should do so at once. Money can "be remitted by express, or a draft or check sent on any National Bank in the United States, when the scholarship will be returned by mail, signed by the President of the Board or Trustees, Jos. S. Fisher, Esq., and the Dean of the Faculty, W. Paine, M. D. All orders for scholarships or other business of the University, should be addressed to Professor W. Paine, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
