ctreatment and medicines tarnished gratuitously
to the poor,
Nasby.
[From the Columbus (Ohio) Journal.]
Whether it is because his material is so
' , extensive, or because the flow of his humor
is so exhaustless, Nasby "keeps up" better
than any of our modern American humor
ists. Unquestionably he struck a lead of
„great richness, when he attacks the blind
bigotry and the antediluvian dogmas of the
Democratic party; our beloved President
has offered him a large extension by his un
solicited sitting for many a comic portrai
ture; and the bread and butter brigade were
kind enough to come in the nick of time to
furnish new matter. This was Nasby's
good fortune: He is indebted to his mother
wit for turning the opportunities to good
account,
It is announced recently that the author
of the Nasby Papers is to go to New York
, city. We hope not. He is not only a hu
morist but a journalist, and although New
York needs such badly enough, we of Ohio
cannot spare him. Artemus Ward, the
Barnum of humorists, is the only one of the
many promising young Western writers of
his class transplanted to New York who has
survived the ordeal of being fanny at so
-much per annum.* He survived it because
he was no true humorist, and he went as
well in harness as any other way. Let Mr.
Locke continue his vocation of journalist,
for which he shows great ability; and let
-the occasion draw forth his humor, rather
than the humor be required to create the
-occasion, and his future will be brighter
- than though it shone through the cloudy
stmosphere of Pfaff's.
A GEORGIA JOSE.-A Southern paper re
lates thefollowing:
"A certain Georgia countryman, not hav
ing been splendidly educated, and who was
- very successful as a money-maker,' deter
mined to send his son off for refinement and
• culture to the good 'Old North State.' When
the young man arrived at the destined point
the president of the institution wanted to
know what line of studies he would par
,sue, and failing to elicit the information
from the boy, interrogated the old man, by
letter, as follows:
" 'lll,y dear sir: Your son has arrived, (Sze.
`What branch shall I put him in?
" 'Respectfully,
" This was a poser, and bothered the 'old
gent' mightily, In his musings he could
arrive at nothing satisfactory, but was sad
• denly reminded of his son's impending
• danger, and the necessity of doing some
thing speedily to save him. After ram ma.
:ging' awhile for pen, ink and paper, he pro
-duced the following demoralized effusion:
"-`Sir: If the boy must go into a branch,
:select one yourself; but, for his mother's
,sake, don't put him in Tar river.' "
CLEVELAND UNION DEPOT.—The Cleve
land Leader gives a glowing description of
a new Union Depot about completed in that
-city. The building is six hundred and
three feet in length and one hundred and
• eighty feet in breadth, covering an area of
a little more than two and a half acres. It
is built of stone, the whole number of cubic
- feet used being one hundred and seventy
four thousand, and over the main entrance
there is a massive tower, which, when com
pleted, will be ninety-sax feet in height.
'The entire cost of the building, ground and
:.surrounding improvements, is put down at
lialf a million dollars.
A WoBTEEIr CourerarktLiv and his wife
recently visited a' certain sewing machine

The woman listened awhile and then re
plied,'Tnere now, you, stop up. You have said

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
['Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
Pants, Tuesday, October 23, 1866.—The
Emperor and the Court came back on the
21st, having as usual chosen Sunday as a
"leisure day" for their journey from
Biarritz to' Paris; They are now at the
Palace of St. Cloud, where they have taken
up their residence to spend the last days of
autumn, before returning to the Tuileries
for the winter. Their departure has been
the signal for the breaking up of summer
society at Biarritz, from which fashionable
watering-place a good many Americans or
the haute volee have now also made their
re-appearance in town. Among these are our
present (or past) diplomatic representatives;
Hon, Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow, who have
been spending the last hours of their offloia
life in the vicinity of the Court circle. I un
derstand the Minister of the United States
to report that the Emperor has beenlooking
of late as well as he.ever did in lus life; thus
entirely confirming the previous account . l
have transmitted to you. Nevertheless
there are still persons who go about croak
ing, and who gray ly assure you, on the
"beat possible authority," that the Emperor
has not many months to live. • •
With the return of the Court political gos
sip begins to revive. There is a talk of an
early meeting of the Chambers in Novem
ber instead of January, in order to get thro'
business (if indeed French Chambers can
ever be really said to transact such) and
leave every one at leisure for the pleasures
and attractions of the Exhibition. A more
important rumor is the old one revived of
an intention to suppress thedebate on the
Address. Ido not as yet give implicit
credit to this intention, and yet I should not
feel very much surprised were some such
project in, petto with the Emperor, nor do I
think that the country at large would make
any very desperate demonstrations against
it. The fact is that these discussions on the
Address have become mere speechifying,
like those of a debating club—vox et prwterea
nihil—and, like such things -in -general,
though amusing enough for a time, very
wearisome in the long run. People begin
to find out that they lead to nothing, except
a vote, and have little or no influence upon
the acts of the Government or the policy of
the country. They are "much cry and
little wool," and mere "talking" will never
give a popular assembly weight or import
ance in the eyes of the nation which it pro
fesses to represent., There have been
symptoms of late Of people getting
tired of this yearly recurring
formality of the "discussion of the Address,"
and of its unpractical oharadter and defi
ciency of results. There is no such thing as
"playing at free institutions;" at least in the
nineteenth century, and with an acute and
satirical people like the French. You must
either have the reality or give up the make
believe altogether, under pain of being
found out to be laughed at. Louis Napo
leon, like a second Augustus, would fain
keep up a decent appearance of liberty,
without letting the reins go too mucirout of
his own hands. But the devices he adopts,
though ingenious, are seen through at last,
and require, at any rate, variety to keep
them afloat. I should not ,be surprised if
the approaching session were to be inaugu
rated with some new proof of the "perfecti
bility" of the imperial Constitntion.
One of the most important measures
which the government is elaborating at this
moment is, I believe, the complete reor.
ganization of the French army. The basis
of the changes to be introduced will be
partly Prussian, partly American, the grand
principle being the substitution, in the
main, of the citizen soldier, for the mere
armed hireling. But the details of the pro
ject are yet only in embryo; though
there is no doubt that the spectacle
afforded by America during the late
conflict, and especially at its term.
_ _
nation; and the way in which her armies
rose and melted away again, as though by
enchantment, has left a deep impression on
the mind of the Emperor, and convinced
him that military France may learn - a great
deal in the art of war d from unmilitary
America. Some practical steps, however,
have been already taken. -The needle-gun,
on the French model, has been distributed
to a large portion of the imperial guard,
and will soon be also in the hands of the
regiments of the line. It is intended also,
I understand, to introduce it into the navy.
The Moniteur is able this morning to
register another step made in the direction
of the general pacification of Europe. Peace
has been signed between — Prussia arid
eaxony. The conditions are not yet peal
tively known, but they must be hard, or
else King John would not have stood out
so long against them. The military con
vention, between the two Powers, however,
has already put us in possession of the se
verest exaction demanded by the con
querors, viz , the presence of mixed Prus
sian garrisons at Dresden and Kilnigstein.
After that,other concessions must have been
comparatively easy. -
It is now denied that any, circular on
Roman affairs has been addressed to French
diplornatic agents. Bat still the Roman
question is the order of the day, and that
on which the mind of the Emperor is un
derstood to be most occupied for the mo
ment, ' We shall probably hear something
on the subject before long, now that the
Emperor has once made his appearance on
the scene of action.
Mr BEST FRIEND. —Miss Lacie A. Morri
sor, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "No reason.
able amount of money could persuade me
to part with my Willcox dc Gibbs Sewing
Machine—unless assured of its , immediate
replacement by another just like Has

ARREST. OF ME WITNESSES
FURTHER COMPIiCATIONS

Discharge of the Jpry
Interesting -Proceedings this Morning.
Ormst Ara) TER3rrteEn—JildgeS Allison
and Ludlow.—Yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock the Court resssembled,.and-Ohief.
Ruggles reported,that the pollee force was
still engaged in the search for the two miss
ing witnesses, but no return had yet been
received. After this announcement District
, Attorney Mann said
"I have exhausted every means of infor
mation in my power, and while I have as
certained the manner in . which the girls
have been induced to go away, and the ac
tors, I am not able to say that I can produce
these witnesses within any given time.
This case has been began, thejury is in the
box, and while the Court may arrest the
trial, there is no way by which it can be
prevented from reaching a conclusion. I
therefore feel constrained to say that, as the
case now stands, lam willing to close on
behalf of the Commonwealth. If, during
the progress of the trial, the witnesses
should be brought in, I shall ask permission
to examine them before the jury. To delay
would be imposing a hardship upon the
jury. As the case now stands, a delay
would be visiting upon the innocent punish
ment for the offence of the wicked. I would
not take this course if I had any reason to
believe that I could get these people to-mor
row, or the next day, orthe day after. Those
who have taken them away have done it so
effectually that I am not justified in asking
for any farther delay. I leave the case with
your Honors. It is for the Court to decide."
After consultation between the Judges,
(Judges Allison, Ludlow and Peirce being
on the bench), Judge Allison said: We do
not feel that this case is in a position in
which we ought to proceed with the trial.
The District Attorney announces that he
has not been able to produce the witnesses
and that he is ready to proceed. But this is
a matter in which the responsibility rests
with the Court and not With the District At
torney. He has subpcenged his witnesses;
they have been in atterdance, and he has
done allthat was required of him. Robed no
reason to anticipate their absence. We, how
ever, have requested the Chief of Police to
aid us in this investigation, and endeavor to
discover the whereabouts of these witnesses.
This investigation is not limited to the city
of Philadelphia ; it is extended to various
and distant points, at which it is possible,
and perhaps probable, one or more of these
witnesses may be found. The- Chief re
ports that he is not ready to make return;
he has not received answers &bin some of
the points to which attention has been di
rected; he thinks a report can be made to
morrow morning.. Until this is done, how
ever\ into enient it may be to the jury,
we feel that ' regard for the proper admin.
istration ofjti ce requires that this attempt
to set at defiance the power of the Court
ought not be allowed to be successful, if it
can in any way be prevented. We, all or
us, think that this case ought to be con
tinued. We will adjourn until to-morrow
at 10 o'clock. We will then decide what
further course to pursue.
The Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.
Proceedings this Morning.
The Court room. WEIS densely crowded
this morning. The news that the two girls
bad been arrested on Wednesday night had
gained wide-spread publicity, and con
siderable anxiety was expressed to ascer
tain what disposition was to be made of
their case by the Judges, Officers Porter
and Ashton, who effected their arrest,
brought them into Court a fe tt- minutes a fter
ten o'clock, and placed them in front of the
prisoners' dock, where they were the ob
served of all observers. Clara Snyder did
not appear to appreciate her position, and
during the most of the morning session and
before the Judge had decided what course
to pursue, she retained a smile upon her
countenance. Sallie Gibbs was not a party
to this levity. She evidently understood
that she had subjected herself to severe pan
ishment, and was consequently depressed
in spirits.
PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST OF THE WIT
NESSE.S.
At 10 o'clock Officers Porter and Ashton
were called to the front of the bar, and
sworn :
Mi. Ashton testified that yesterday at a
quarter of twelve o'clock, in company with
Officer Porter, he went to Wilmington in
search of the witnesses, and found them in
the Grant House, on the New Castle road,a
short distance outside of Wilmington; ar
rested them and brought them to Philadel
phia.
Judge Allison—The order of the Court is,
that you hold these witnesses until the fur
ther order of the Conn. At the proper time
we will take up their case and endeavor to
ascertain whether other persons were c3n
cerned in their disappearance. -
Mr. Ashton—We have some information
in regard to that.
ABSENCE OF THE JIIIir.
It began to be noticed by the spectators in
Court, that, although after 10 o'clock the
jurors were not in the box. After a delay of
about half an hour, District Attorney. Mann
addressed the Court, and said—l have been
informed that one of the jurors is sick, and
so sick as to be linable to come into Court.
I ask the Court that a physician may be
sent to examine him and report as to his
condition..
The court agreedto this. Dr. Shapleigh
was called, but not being present, Mr. Cas
sidy suggested Dr. Senderling, who was •in
attendance. Dr. Senderling- was sworn to
make an examination, and report to the
court.
After an absence of about ten minutes,
r. Senderling returned; and being sworn,
estifled as follows :
A Junon WITH THE DELERME TREMENS.
I saw the juror (Adam Campbell), on
Fifth Street, below Walnut, at the Grand
Jury room; I made an examination of the
juror; he was in a high state of nervous ex
citement, and is laboring under delirium
tremens; his answers were very evasive to
all my questions; he imagined his tongue
was full of worms; he said he was. going
down town, that he had been where he now
is about an hour; he is now in a perfeot
state of phrensy; I think he is perfectly
incapable of sitting as a juror
anIA will continue so for some time; bia mind

is wandering;•l think it would require st -
least a week beforeyou
o ould calm him down
sufficiently to act as a juror; I do not - th ink
there is any peril to hislife if you can keep
him quiet, and -the surroundings quiet; he
is not in a condition to be broughtinto court;
be might be brought in hut there would , be
difficulty in restraining hini, owing to the
excitement; there is considerable difficulty
now. -
Mr.Mann--Is it absolutely necessary that
he should be separated from the rest of the •
jurors, and be kept quiet and Weise?
Answer—lt is absolutely neeeasary.
Mr. Mann—ls it necessary that he should
be nursed and watched?
Answer--Yes, sir, by all means.
' Mr. Mann—Without that care and with
out that nursing, which must be done sepa
rately and apart from the jurors, is there
danger that he will not recover?' •
Answer --It would be dangerous to his
life. Some of these cases are pacific and
easily subdued. This is a violent case.
Mr. Mann—Do you believe that a neces
sity exists that the juror should be sepa
rated from and kept alone watched and
nursed, in order to give hi m a' chance for
his recovery?
Answer—l. think that is imperative.
Mr. Mann—Do you. believe that the ex
citement necessarily resulting from being
kept with eleven other persons in a room
extremely dangerous to him in his present
condition ?
Answer—yes, sir.. •
Mr. Mann—When I speak of dangerous,
I mean dangerous to life.
Answer—l understand.

This concluded the examination of Dr.
THE SCENE IN TEE JURY I EOO2II LAST NIGHT.
Hiram Caster sworn—l am an officer of
this Court; Mr. Lister and myself had
charge of the jury last night; none of the
jury but Mr. Campbell indicated illness;
about a quarter to twelve o'clock last night
I went into his room; he jumped out of bed
and said "there were rats all over me, and
eating me;" became out into the entry and
I could not get him back again; he said I
couldn't put him back; then he walked up
and down crying "murder," "fire," and
"watchman' then be went into the room
where the other jurors were and wanted to
get out of the window; Mr. Lister and I
caught him before he got out; we
brought him back to the entry again;
by this time some of the jurors got into the
entry; then he got a headnolud from one of
the cot bedsteads; we prevented him from
going after the other jurors and striking
them; I told him if he did not behave him
self I would tie him; I got two towels and
tied them together, and with the assistance
of several jurors, we threw him down and
tied ban hands and feet; I brought the bed
into his room, and laid idua down upon it;
be remained in this violent and excited con
dition all night, and until I left him this
ipornirig; in my judgment it would not be
safe or proper to bring him into Court now.
At the close of this testimony, District
Attorney Mann said: I would suggest to
the Court that the clerk, upon hearing this
testimony,. make an order that this juror be
elisrr.e4 4 , now. By a discharge before the
jurors haveseparateel, you can request the
eleven jurors to some into Court and inform
them of the order of the Court.
Judge Allison (after consultation with
Judge - Ludlow)—We are of„opinion that the
order of discharge ought not be absolute as
to as many of the jurors as can be brought
into Court. This is a case of some novelty.
It is only the absolute necessity of the case
that would justify the Court in making an
order of discharge. It must be peril to the
juror that will warrant a discharge. If that
necessity justifies us we think that the same
necessity allows us to order those of the
jurors who are able to come into Court.
rids evidence satisfies' us that
to keep this jury_ together would
saeimperil this partictuarjr and that it is not
and - proper that he should be brought
here. That being his condition, we think
the necessities of the case will justify us in
bringing in the eleven in order that the
order of discharge should be made in their
presence in open Court. We think that the
same principle which led to the establish
ment of the rule, that when a necessity oc
curs a jury may be discharged in a capital
case, will sustain us in bringing in eleven
jurors. We can make no order except in
the presence of the jurors and in open Court
Judge Ludlow acquiesced in this view of
the case, and the eleven jurors were ordered
into Court, under the following order :
The Court now diredt the officer in charge
of the jury to bring into court all the jurors
in this case except the juror, Adam Camp
bell, who, by the evidence in this case, is to
the satisfaction of the Court unable to at
tend without peril to his life. To the above
order counsel for' prisoner excepted gen
erally,”
Messrs. Brookes and Cassidy objected to
the order and an exception was noted. •
THE JERORS DISCHARGED.
The eleven jurors soon appeared. Judge
Allison addressed them as follows:
The Court have been investigating the con
dition of your fellow-juror. That evidence
satisfies us of the inability to go on with the
trial at this time, and also of the necessity of
discharging the jury, in order that the pro
per care shall be had for the health and life
of this juror. To keep him there conhned
with his fellow-jurors would be at the risk
of his life. It is only an extreme necessity
like this that would justify a Court in
discharging a jury in a capital case. Or
dinary sickness, unless it involves se
rious peril to health, and perhaps life,
is not sufficient. The evidence this morn
ing is clear to the point that if Adam Camp
bell is kept shut up with his fellow jurors,
it would be at the risk of his life. There
fore we think the necesaityonethat requires
us to discharge the jury from the further
consideration of the case.. In doing so,it is
ray duty to say that it .is the intention of
the District Attorney to call this case for
trial to-morrow morning. • The jury will
therefore exercise caution, as they may •be
again oalled tomorrow as jurors. They
must not converse with any person or per
mit any one to talk to them, not even their
'Thejurors were then discharged, the,
Court making the following order:
"The jury, except A. Campbell, who is
prevented from attending by reason, in the
opinion of the Court,of an imperative neces
tiny now come into Court, whereupon the
Court by reason of the premises order and
direct the jury to be discharged." i '.
Mr. Cassidy excepted this form of the
Order and proposed the following:
Eleven jurors came into Court upon the
above order, and the . eleven jurors an
swered to their names. Adam Campbell,
the other juror, did not appear in Court.
The jury, the said eleven only being pre
emit, Was then discharged ftom further con
sideration of the case, to which prisoner
objects. .
The Court refttied to seal this objection, as
it did not set forth the record porrectly.
The counsel then took an exception to the
foam, znattez wad the ruling of the Courts
ACTION OF THE COURT.
This *ended the case fbrcthe day,. a tip.
stave being directed to convey Adam Chnerfr
bell to his residence. •
The two witnesses,,Sallie Gibbs and Clara
Snyder, were called before the Judge, who
informed them ' that they would be - :kept, in
custody until the further order of the Court.
The Court then adjourned. • •
THE LATE ELECTIONEL
.Additional kLetxtrns.
On the inside of to-day's paper will be
found returns of the recent State elections,
received after we went to press yesterday,
Below will be found still further returns:
- New York.
We give the estimated majority for Gov.
Fenton as stated by the New York papers
to-day.' It will be seen that the figures dif
fer considerably:
The Herald mgkes it - - - 8,000
" World " 8,187
" Tribune " - - - 12,846
" Times " - - = 12,000
Of course the tables are partly estimated.
The Tribune says :
Almost every
_corrected or perfected re
turn we receive from the interior of our
Stateincreases Governor Fenton's majority,
which is already as large as it was in 1864,
and may be still farther increased by the
full official returns. Yet so desperately
was the fight made on him, and so ready
were his opponents to trade off and every
thing else to gain a Hoffman vote, that we
are confident tha t Ids colleannes on our State
ticket have considerable larger majorities.
We shall not be surprised to find them
averaging 10,000.
The ices of three Representatives in Con
gress from this city and Brooklyn, is fully
made up by the success of William H. Ito
bertt•ert in the Westchester, Charles H. Van
Wyck in the Orange; and Thomas Cornell
in the Ulster District, so that we have 20 to
11 Representatives in the next as in the pre
sent House. Off the islands, the Johnsonitea
carry only the Albany and Buffalo Districts.
The State Senate was chosen last year,
ar,ct is overwhelmingly with us. The As
sembly last chosen is decidedly Republican.
We hope to learn that the Constitutional
Convention is carried, though we have few
returns, and this city has gone heavily
against it.
The vote of Tuesday was very heavy. The
bright, clear day, conspired with the pro
found public interest in the issue to secure
this. It was the smile of Heaven that gave
us the victory.
A True Heroine.
One of the greatest female heroes of this
country is Miss Delia Webster, who resides
in Trimble county, Ky., nearly opposite
Madison, Ind. Some years before the war
she procured a fine estate, and made it her
home. Being a strong Abolitionist, shesoon
involved herself in trouble on account of the
negro, and since the abolition of slavery, she
continues in hot water on account of the
same distinguished personage. Before the
war she desired to help as many of them
North as possible, and since the war she is
anxious to educate them as much as possi
ble. She recently got together some lum
ber, which was being seasoned for a colored
school-house, which she was building at her
own expense.
Accordingly, last Thursday the 'barbari
ans of that county and vicinity set fire to
her barn and other outbuildings, as well as
to this lumber which she had consecrated to
education and civilization.
This is about the twentieth time she has
been served in that way. She has had
seventeen dwellings and four barns de
stroyed from time to time by her neighbors.
Her farm produces an immense crop of
blackberries, which her neighbors annually
plunder, going so far as to seize upon such
as she succeeds in gathering, on their way
to market, A year ago last August they
upset's whole load in the river.
But she holds on desperately. How she
stands all these losses we do not know. Bat
she is a:brave woman, whose autobiography
should be written, and who when de id will
deserve. and probably receive, a monument.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND MURDER.—The
people of Cleveland, on Sunday, were
checked at the announcement of an at
tempted suicide and murder of the most
shocking nature. The wife of Thomas Ca
hill, the mother of five children, who be
came deranged some time since, was sud
denly seized with a mad frenzy, and grasp
ing a razor, almost in an instant ; before her
husband could stay her hand, drew the in
strument three times across her own throat,
cutting herself severely, and once across the
neck of her husband, inflicting a:fearfal gash
nearly six inches in length, extending trom
below the chin to the ear and penetrating to
the carotid artery without it. Her
husband finally , overpowered her, and as
sistance came to hand. The woman's inju
ries were not considered dangerous, but her'
husband's were more serious. The bloody
walls and floor of the hall in which the
struggle took place,told of the terrible scene
that had been enacted. • - •
A FACTORY DISRASE.-A curious form of
disease has appeared in some or the flax
mills at . Belfast. It is thus, described by a
physician: "In Belfast a very painful malady

which inflames; the nail drops oil; and an

Progress of Work on the Suez Cantu.
A letter from Alexandria, pf Oct. 6, says—
OThe cutting of the Maritime Canal of Suez,
in the _Section from Suez to Chalottf, which
was the lea commenced, is being carried on
with great activity. This section is divided
into three parts—one that of the Quarantine
at Suez, the otheris the Plain of Suez, to a
distance of Tom' miles, and that of Chalouf,
ten miles distant. The nwrnber orcubic
Metres (the metre is about 3 - Iset 31 inches)
to be removed - in - these different points ..of
the banal is 15,907,246. Since die commence
ment of the =works 202,542' cubic metres
have been extracted. There censequently
remain to remove 15,704,704 metres cube.
The number of laborers employed on the
whole line is 2,200,r0f whom 1,500 are at Che-;

Quarantine. The extraction is made at •
Ohalouf by means-of several inclinet2planes
with locomotive, which present the advan
tage of , greatly assisting labor. Eighty
miners and 200 laborers are occupied in
blowing up the rook, which in thiei place is -
in the line of the canal, and of which the
volume is 24,393 cubic metres. At the 'pre-
sent moment 13,856. metres have been re
moved, so that there remain. 10,539. The
average monthly work done on this rock
being 2,100 cubic metres, five months • will '
still be nece.F.aarx before it is cumptetely -
finished.: The earth-woThs in this place
are, so to speak, inaignificant compared
with the rock; they amount to 113,566
cubic metres, of which 87,915 have already
been taken away. For some time past
the recruiting of Arab laborers has been
made with facility, and the engineers, have
succeeded in inducing them to use wheel
barrows instead of coins, which are much
More convenient. If no obstacle should
arise to disturb the recruiting, the prepara

wide and nearly 90 centimetres deep, and
are designated as trench of Asia and' trench
of Africa. At the

are 4,100 metres length, and the - banks
of the Maritime Canal are thus indicated
for all this length, with a trench on each '
side to receive the dredging machines. In

'HE CORPOEATIONOF YALE COLLEGE.—
President Woolsey, of Yale. College, has
been advocating a needed reform in the
composition of the corporation of that insti
tution. At present the corporation consists
of nineteen men, eight, of whom are the
Governor and Lientenant-Governor of the '
State, and six State Senators. The remain-
der represent the - original government of the
college. As the college:was founded by ten
Congregational ministers, they were con
stituted a perpetual - corporation and their
successors were to be appointed ?from Con- -
necticut Congregational clergymen, who -
were graduates of the college. The college
has long since outgrown its original sphere
as a mere school for the education of minis
ters, and is now a university. President
Woolsey proposes to limit the choice of all
the corporators to the graauates of the col- -
lege and to do away with the narrow restric- •
tions improved by the original founders.
-A Cann EN A`Liox's ISEN.--Two clergy-

called the attention of the magistrates to an
exhibition in that town. A number of
lions were confined in a cage r and at inter-

the cage to perform with them. The child
was about three years old, and such a pro
ceeding was considered contrary to public:,
dedency and humanity. The bench con
purred in condemning such an entertain-
meat and advised the proprietor of the ex;
hibition.to discontinue it. The Mayor •of ' •
Leicester followed the example of-the Not,

bition of the child in the den.'
