Willie Rosecrans, an eleven year
old son of our fellow-citizen Wm.
Rosecrans, was riding one ol the
horses belonging to Carson’s liv-ery
stable to water. When near
Nehn’s boarding house on Craw-lord
street, a little boy named
Jay Johnston, struck the horse
with - a strap as he was passing,
just for sport.. The horse imme-j
diately reared and started to run,
throwing Willie onto his neck,
| where- he clung an instant and
then fell over backward, his head
| striking a rock, breaking his
neck, and also rupturing a blood
vessel in-.urn ally. The poor boy
expired almost instantly. Wil-lie’s
father and mother were sent
for immediately, and Dr. Berry
was promptly summoned, but the
vital spark had already left the
body when they arrived.—Deni-son

this one the place that gets the location
and the denomination must be willing
to make great sacrifice. The must
give until they feel it in their business.
A few thousand loose dollars and empty
resolutions passed annually in assoeia-tions
and conventions will never build
a University. The undertaking must
have hundreds of thousands of dollars
which would otherwise be useful for
capital and the enlargement ol business,
and also it must have the united patron-age
and prayers of the denomination.
This, and nothing short of it will build
a University that will be a blessing to
the denomination, to the State, and to
unborn generations To secure this
end, we should have the manhood, and
especially the Christianity to rise above
all personal, party or seetioeal strife,
and act for ihe good of the denomina-tion
and posterity. We live in a great
State in a creative age ; by working
wisely and prudently together, we can
lay the foundation of a University that
will be an honor to us when we are in
our graves,and for which our posterity
will rise up and call us blessed. We
have something of a beginningat Waco
and I should regret to see the enter-prise
abandoned, now, tor as 1 have
said, all ray feelings and predictions
are in favor of Waco, and therefore I
do hope she will yet do what she ought
for the University. But if Waeo will
not then, perhaps, Dallas, Shrman or
Paris will give the denomination sixty
acres of land for a site for the Univer-sity;
and for buildings, apparatus and
library $100,000. Or. perhaps, a better
plan would be for the denomination to
appoint an agent to buy, while lands
are cheap, a league of land, lying on
one of the great lines of railway now
traversing the State; lay off a town,
sell lots and thus create means for on-dowment,
buildings, library and appa-rat
us. Your Bro. in Christ,

Bro. Buckner: 1 am told that some
misunderstanding is likely to grow out
of a letter of mine published in the
Herald of October 1st upon which
brother Link made somo comments for
which I am grateful to him.
My object iu writing the letter was :
1st. To correct a mistake that was do-ing
the University a serious injury m
tlte southern part ol the State ; namely,
that neither my brother nor inyselt
would he connected directly with the
teaching corps of the University this
scholastic year. Our arrrangement is \
for one of us to be in the University al
the time. 2d. I wanted to ask the
brethren throughout the State to send
me by hand, mail or express, any min
erals or fossils that they might find ;
that they would be valuable to me in
teaching Theology and Mineralogy.
These were tile principal points 1 had
in view in writing the letter. I was
led to make some additional remarks
on the present and future prospects of
the University from a sad and painful
conviction that Waco had not done,
antll (eared, never would do her duty
to the University. To show Unit my
convitions are not imaginary, let facts
be submitted to the denomination. In
tile spring of 1801, to induce us to come
to Waeo and inaugurate the University;
tlie Board of i rustees promised- us
buildings, apparatus and libraiy, and
an endowment ol $20,000 commencing
to bear interest the 1st day of JSeptem-ber
1801, at-10 per cent, per annum;
so that the Faculty would realize $2,-
000 annually front the endowment.

By tlie indomitable energy of brother
J. IV. Speight, the president of the
Board of Trustees, the wing buildings
were gotten in condition to be occupied
tile first Monday in September 1801 ;
but not a single room has ever been
completed, and these buildings are
now ill a most wretched, dilapidated,
comfortless condition. Within tlie last
two or three years a boarding house
lor young ladies has been built, which
i insufficient and also in an uniiinished
condition. When we came here in
J$81. the University grounds consisted
or seven and a half acres ol land, which
is not more than one .seventh of what
it Ought to have been. But instead ot
adding to the area ot the campus, lots
have been sold off from time to time to

in.view hut t urge upon the denomi-nation
and Waco, the absolute necessi-ties
of the University. It is sufiering
for the want of buildings, apparatus,
library and endowment. 1. am im-pressed
that the main cause of oar d f-licpl.
tje* is, our brethren abtoad think
that jiecaifse we have a large palrouage
that, therefore, we have everything
| that is necessary to make a college a
success; than which there never was
a more fatal mistake affecting the per-manenoy
ot a college. Funds arising • Louis, without change of ears,
rom tuition will never pay cnougl to L, ^ ,,,Wenger so- desires,
keep up a laculty ol ability. Next to '
endowment, a college needs ample
buildings, well finished.and.completely
fu-ni tied, then a college needs appara-cus.
and library. These elements of
success secured, a college wants pat-rouage
and the prayers of its friends.
We matriculated 316 pupils last scho-lastio
year. We have now matneula-ted
for the present session over 200,
! which is 40 or 50 more than we had at
| this time dust year. . Our patronage has
fallen off in Waco, but has greatly in-creased
from abroad, it Waeo would
give us the buildings and tlie denomi-nation
the endowment we need, we
would now have fine hundred pupils
in the University. I believe Wuco lias
more advantages lor the seat of a great
University than' any other place in
Texas. Alt my feeling# and convic-
’tions are in favor of Waco. But, l do
not believe it is right for the denomi-nation
to thrust tin; University on her.
She is willing to pay for railways, sus-pension
bridges, • hanks and splendid
stores. Why should she not he willing
to pay lor the University? That is a
greater source ol’-revenue to hur than
any one of these interests. I must re-peat
what I said in the Herald. “Broth-er
Law’s idea is a good one, and lie
denomination should act on it, that il
a place gets the location of the Univer-sit.
y, it ought to pay for it.” Central
anil Northern Texas have many most
