Tk ooadoet of Iks rraat bodr of the
stadenta has bean worthy of all praise.
The prevailing; moral tone has keen of a
high order, and public sentiment has al
atoet entirely superceded tha aeceeaity of
diecipliut. There Las been tbmogb the
whole year no tingle eaaa sailing; for dia-
aiplioe by the Faculty. Any momentary
disorder or misconduct has been easily
remedied by kind aad parental admoni
tion ia private.
The stale of religion has at all times
been cheering and there has been, aa we
trust, marked tokens of the presence of
ike divine spirit. Of the twenty four ad
ditions to the Collage eh arch ainee the
laat commsaessssnt, eleven of the sta
denta have been received en profession ol
their milk hi Christ, two of wbom ware
baptised in tha College chapel. Besides
the regular services of the Sabbath and
the Wednesday night h-etnre, the stu
dents bare kept np regular prayer-meet
ings of their own, and have beeu carnesi

others have the matter nnder serious con
sideration Sabbath schools for the blscks
aa well as the whites are being kept in the
Collage Chapel, and some of the young
men go several miles into the country to
attain the Sabbath school of Bethel
Church. Bible classes by the Professors
are voluntarily attended every Saaday
evening. The Bible has been made a
regular college study for the past year,
and the icheme have worked well.
Fmm tbia stale of things progress has
been made towards that desirable consent-

Tbe "Fell Railway" over the Mont
Cenie Past of the Alpr is the present won
der of Karope, and ia certainly a great en
gineering triumph. It baa been open fur
paaaenger traffic since Jane loth, and hat
been worked from tkat date successfully
and without aecident. By this line, pas
sengers are taken over the Alps in Are
hours and a quarter one-hall tbe time
taken by tbe diligence Berries aad what
ia of equal importance, the journey, which
costs lorty-five francs (913 currency) by
diligenee, can be made by tbe railway for
twenty-nve francs (about f 7 currency).
Yet fully one-half of the people who eroas

way, as they have a wholesome and ecr
tainl y natural objection to running the
risk ol their railway traib pitching down
a precipice, and making mince meat of all
It contains.
A natural cariosity look me to tho mil
way as a meana of crossing the Pass. To
comprehend tbe character of this work, it
is necessary to understand the situation of
Mont (Jems. It is said to be the lowest
of the Alps, and is probably eight thous
and reel bigb. it is comparatively flat on
top. Dcing some six roues Droad, and is
surrounded by higher peaks, many of
tnem covered witu snow. Uu both the
French and Italian sides, mountain tor
rents, having tbeir source ou Mount Ce
nis, ran down through deep vallcya witb
precipitous sides, so that the Alpine chain
is, aa it were, half cut through by these
fissures. An excellent road baa been long
in existence ever the paw, running along
the borders of these streams and atg-xag-
giug up tbe mountain, and Mr. Fell has
built bia railway alongside of this road,
from which it rarely parts company, so
that the people on tbe car and those on
the highway lor nine-tenths of the dis
tance could shake hands with each other if
so disposed The mere laying out of the
railroad, therefore, was nothing ; bet the
difficulty which had to be and is surmount
cdf'waa to invent a species of steam rail
way that would climb np or go down aa
steep hills and turn around as sharp cor
ners ss if horse and wagon, and yet be as
completely under control. These things
are successfully accomplished by the use
oi a road with three rails, upon which run
engine snd cms of peculiar construction.
The railway is of narrow guage, not
over four feet, and iho outside rails upon
which rests the weight of the cars are the
ordinary I rails, but of heavy pattern.
and
the train ou tho track. After thus get.
ting an some fonr thousand feet or the el
evation, the ateep side of Mont Cenia was
reached, stretching ap far above as, the
summit hidden in cloud Starting at a
little station with a water tank ami fuel
shed, the road twiata aix times up the
precipice, each parallel being constructed
on a grade of one feet of elevation in frqpi
Ave to lee of length, and the train, every
time it turns back ami forth, elevates yoa
higher and higher ; yet ail tbe lime keeps
right over tbe s'atiou, which gets smaller
and smaller as yon rise thontanda of feet
above if. The enrves necessary for the
bends of the road are one-half tunnelled
out of the solid rock, and the ether half
built out over yawning chasms, clouds al
most obscuring tbe watercourses at the
bottom. You can throw a stone down the
monutain side, and it will cross one line
of the railway after another, and finalty
reach the ground at the station the train
left a half beur before, but which is still
under your feet. Snow-capped peaks are
all around ; clouds halt envelope yoa ; the
ears, if they once leave the track, will be
dashed to atoms, thousands of feet below;
yet still the train goes onward and up
ward, the little engine holding tightly to
tke rails and climbing the hill before it
that seems to unfold Itself interminably.
This is tbe most terrific, part of tbe ascent
of the French side of the mountain ; and
it continues entil the summit is reached,
where, at "Le Grand Croix," the train
bulla for a moment's real, and the passen
gers, dispirited perhaps by the rain or
snow that always poura down so lavishly
on tho mountain ton, begin to wonder
whether they will ever get down again.

changing to an Italian railway train,
we were in Turin.
No one who crosses Mont Ocnis,
on the Fell railway, can fail to bear
testimony to it complete success. It
is, however,. uot a rued for people of
week nerves to venture npon ; as the
feeling when running along the edge
of an aluut perpendicular precpice

below to be seen, is decidedly nn.
pleasant. Tbe railway, however,

way has been an expensive one to
build, and will be a costly one to
keep iu order, so that unless patrom

scarcely pay expenses. The ingenui
ty and daring of its constructors,
however, ate no greater, although
shown on a broader ecule, tbau the
skill and perseverance exhibited by
the hardy mountaineers, who, bang

cultivate the idea of ateel billaand
