BLOOMSBURG,
'A'hc Student Revenge.
Poor J , for numerous sins of com
mission relative to hen roosts and poultry
yards, and omission concerning tecitations,
was expelled from IS college. Ho beg
ged and wept for mercy in vain: The
President was inexorable, and I had to
pack up and mako ready to leave. It was
a cold night in winter tho snow lay on
the ground to the depth of twelve inches. J
got his baggage into a sleigh, and at
1 1 o clock drove up in front of tho Presi
dent's house. Kapiiinc nretiv loudly at
the door, ho soon had the pleasure of see
ing the President's head emerging from the
window abovo.
'Vho'a therel' said the learned digni

I, sir J 1 if you please to step to

students for your annoyance.'
'Bless me. , what can it bp, but it it
very cold, and 1 am undressed '

The President hurried down.
'Now, J , what is it?' he said, shak

' hy, simply this, you old rascalshout-
ed tho enraged student, as he seized the un

plunged him naked into a snow bank.

'Do you know,' said the student, step
ping his victim's m.iulh with snow, 'that a

was filled with snow. At -tho end of half an
hour, the unfortunate subject of tho, opera

kicked him into the house; jumped himself
into the sleiirh. ami drove off amid the
heers of a Inrgo party of fellow students

The President threatened prosecution, bui
is all who heard the story, laughed, hi
thought it best to forget it.
Tho Uuff.donian says he would as soon

young tins from getting married when they
take it into tlieir heads to do so.
