Allegheny College.
December 19, 1863
--An effort is being made to purchase the Blue Sulphur Springs property as the seat of this College, and further establishing a fund which shall be devoted to the education of the children of soldiers killed in the service, and of young men who have been disabled in our defence. An agent of the institution is visiting the cities and towns of Virginia to accomplish this praiseworthy object.
