It is reported that oyer 50 per cent of the first, year German students failed on the mid-semester
examination.
This morning a reporter called on President Gobin and inquired if there was any foundation to the rumor that the university was in such a state financially that some of the departments would have to lie closed next semester. Dr. Gobin said that tliete was absolutely no foundation to the rumor and said there was no probability of any change in the dep i rtments either this j’ear or next, it seems that some one who has an unfriendly feeling for the university has circulated such reports as above for the sole purpose of reflecting to its discredit. However, the friends and students of the university it can he assured, will not let any report go out which will injure the school, and especially when the re port has no foundation in truth. The Athletic association is in need of the athletic subscriptions and they should be paid at once. See Mr. Hamrick or Mr. Nees. Class sleigh rides will soon be in
order.

for the historian. The structure measures 22 foot in length ami is 20 feet wide and 16 feet high. It is said to be one of the original manor houses constructed shortly after the arrival of William Penn and his colony on the banks of the Delaware river. Circumstances point toward that belief, and prove the claim to antiquity, which makes the old log house an important link connecting the distant past with the present. This house is constructed of oak and I chestnut logs hewn from the primeval forest, while standing beside it is a giant oak, the largest by all odds in the surrounding country, which is a living witness of the age of the lowly dwelling which finds shelter l>eneath its huge outspreading arms. Tree and house are each the complement of the other, and seem destined to continue their intimacy during succeeding years, and perhaps
ages.
In the year 1681 A. D., on the 2d day of March, Peter and William Taylor purchased the land upon which these objects of interest stand from William Penn in England, and on the 22d inst. Thomas Powell took title to the land upon which the house and tree stand and ail j a cent tracts, and after numerous transfers it finally came into the possession of Mr. Powell, who formerly resided in this city, but who now lives in “Star Mount,” in northwest Media. Upon discovering the historic value of the house and oak, he subsequently took precautions to preserve the objects of a past age and civilization. The house is constructed of logs, and to prevent the entrance of cold air they were chinked with mortar. The small windows and doors were hand made, from the primitive oak cut from the forest. The faces and ends of these logs are scarreil and defaced by exposure to the storms of at least two ceuturios, and show plainly the ravages of the "tooth of time,” but at heart are as hard and sonnd as when first placed in position to form a house for one of Penn's followers. The present owner, desiring to both preserve this ancient structure and to improve its surroundings, added some seven or eight years ago several additional rooms to the original mansion, but ontside the massive old chimney is exposed to view, and inside the logs with their plastering, the windows and doors with their wooden latches and strings may be seen, while the low ceiling of homemade boards point to a date when the ax and saw were almost universally used by our forefathers. At the time when the additions above mentioned were made an old English coin was found. Upon examination the coin proved to be a penny of the reign of King George I, and while the date is almost illegible, it seems to be 1724, or perhaps uu earlier date. This old English penny was lying under the old wooden door sill, and had become imbedded in the ground, and was only brought to light by the use of pick and shovel. History and tradition unite in the story iu relation to this old house. Beginning with the river Delaware and reaching as far as portions of Chester county, and bounded also by Ridley and Crum creeks, were some two tracts of land deeded to the Taylors, Powells and others in 1681 by the proprietor and founder of our state, William Penn. Upon each of these two tracts or parcels of land log houses were erected, and one of them was destroyed by fire. One of these houses, the oue now owned by Mr. Powell in Upper Providence township, adjoining the town of Media, is the sole survivor, and it is correspondingly prized by him. The house aud old oak, together with the curiosities connected with them, are very antique, and there is no doubt hut that the claim of antiquity is well founded. In 1715 it was iu the old log cabin that John Powell changed from the Quaker to the Baptist faith, and organized the First Baptist church of Delaware county, known as the Brandywine chuich. The congregation was formed on June 14, 1715, with 15 members, and among the delegates were Abel Morgan of this city and James Jones and Joseph Eaton of Delaware. Thus the old house, constructed by a sJrst settler from the virgin forest, which extended from far inland to the shores of the Delaware river, has both a civil and a religions history, aud has been both the birthplace of prominent families and the habitation within whose walls a prominent denomination of this and surrounding country first sprung in♦o existence. — Philndelnhia Taleirranh.
