Bestows $50,000 on School.

Wesleyan college of Bloomington, 111., is in receipt of a fortune estimated at $50,000 through the death at Girard, 111., this week of Mrs.' Henrietta Cramp, widow of the late Rev. Samuel Cramp, a superannuated clergyman of the Methodist church, who died in Bloomington, three years ago. The Bloomington college has held this legacy in trust, paying Mrs. Cramp the income as an annuity. The money will be devoted to carrying out many improvements which have been under consideration for years, and also in enlarging the endowment fund.
