An alarm of fire hurried tbe de

terday . morning. An iucipient
fire started in a house occupied by

quickly extinguished.
Young Female College, about
which be bad beard;-and said that
toward, that end be would give
$250 While conversing on this
subject, a gentleman, prominent
as lbe owner aod manager of a
prosperous educational institution
here, said he would give $250 or
•veu$500 if it beoame necessary;
another would give $250, another
“ would help," another would give
$100 This flattering, and very,
substantial beginoing, voluntarily
offered by these progressive and
public spirited citizuis, gave
ground for belief that numerous
other citizens would donate some
thing for the same purpose' So,
it bras determined to write this
article for the information and
thought of the public, and later a
committee would solicit subscrip
tions..
Some weeks ago tbe writer no
ticed in the papers that tbe Pres
bytery proposed to establish
schools in some parts of the' state,
aud would, at its synod, soon to
meet at Cuthbert, discuss this
question aud receive propositions
from towns that might desire sucb
school
Therefore the writer addressed a
letter, as an individual trustee
ouly, to each member of the loca
tion committee, .stating wbat
Young's Female College bad,- as a
nucleus in tbe way of money and
buildings. Tbe Rev. E D Me
Dougaii, of this city, was one of
tbe Preebytery committee.
Wbeu the synod met, Young’s
Female College could not be con
sidered^ because by the terms of
tbe'wiil of Remnr Young, the fund
facilitate female educa
tion," and the Presbytery pro
posed to establish a mixed tcbool.
In October next -tbe Presbytery
will meet in Themasville and Mr
McDougall suggests that, as it is'
quite probable a female school
would be established in this sec
tion of the state, provided any
place would offer sufficient induce
ment, that the city of Thomasville
nd the trustees of Yeung's Fe
male College be In a position to
make some definite and liberal
offer daring tbe session of the
Presbytery.
Youog’s Female College have
funds and property that would be
a very substantial nucleus, and
following the example of towns
that have made liberal subscrip
tions for the mixed schools; Tbom-
asville might also make liberal
subscriptions for the proposed fe
male school.
Tbe board of trustees have now,
i a body, practically decided,
tboogh not recorded io its min-
ntes. upon wbat terms they will
unite with tbe Presbytery.
Tbe greater the financial aid
that is offered, tbe greater the
chances of establishment of the
school Lere, which, if aecoin
plisbed will add mnch to the
prominence and material advance
ment of the city. The subscrip
tions that, may be given will be
payable only on condition that an
agreement is made between the
trustees of Young’s Female Col
lege and the proper officials of tbe
Presbytery.
If this agreement is not made
the subscriptions are not collecta
ble. Respectfullv,

When life seemed so bright and gay;
Her talents were given to God divine,
Ajddiog to the jewels of heaven's mine
By suffering she was purified,
With ehriatian virtues rarefied,

And all that makes life furious;
Her spirit recoined as pure is gold.
Hade ready for entrance to heaven's fold.
Lixe Christ upon the cross, she bore
The racking pains as saints of yore;
Without a murmur gave life and love
To husband, home, children, friends and
mother;
Winning the crown of angels above;
Making her home with a heavenly father
Amidst the gold paved streets above.
