BROWN UNIVERSITY.

II Within few days, an important movemen,
hns been made in behalf of this venerabl
literary institution. A new mansion home
Tor the President 10 intended 70 be built, and
likewise, another College ediice, for the ac-
commodation Of tho departments Of Natural
Philosophy, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Geology
and Natural History. Our munifcent fellow
citizen, the Hon. Nicholas Brown, has tender.
ed to the Corporation two lots OF land on
Waterman street, us site for the Presidents $
house, and lot on George street, known as
The Hopkins estate, as site for the college
edifice. In farther aid.of these objects, he
has pledged himself for the sum of ten thou
sand dollars, provided similar sum be sub
scribod by the friends Of the College, on or
before the first day Of May next. This pro-
ject,so suspicious to the cause of good learn
ing, md in which our city and State have so
deep an interest, ought not to fail for want
Of jealous and efficient cooperation. Seve-
raj Of our citizens have already subscribed
literally towards the proposed object; and
we understand that the whole sum now Sc
cured, somewhat exceeds fifteen thousand
dollars. The Improvement Of the college
grounds, which is contemplated, and the
erection Of two handsome edifces, will con-
tribute, in no small degree, to the attractions
OF our city. Lecture rooms OF ample dmen-
sions will be provided in the new college
edlfice; and II is anticipated that the Lee
lures delivered to the undergraduates, will,
under suitable regulations, be made accessi.
BILE to the public. In every respect, the move
ment is most beneficial one for the public
and we trust that they will promptly cheer
it oSwARo.-[P Prov. Jour.

Tho following letter gives tho particular,
OF the murder of an unoffsnding citizen, at
disgracefal debauch Of the Loco Focos in
the town Of Greene, Chenango county.
GRsENE, March Is, 1889.
Capt. Arnold Horton attended our town
meeting on Tuesday last. After the Loco
FOcos ascertained that their ticket was elect
cd, they went into Gale nder's ball room and
set up q yelling and drinking which soon st.
tracted u crowd. Capt. Horton among 9TH
ers, wont into the room. The cry was raised
that there was Wing in the room, and a
motion was made and carried that the Wings
should be put out; whereupon crowd gath
cred around Horton, forced him through the
door and over the bannisters, down STAIRS
They then returned and reported that they
had pitched the damned Wing down stairs
and hoped It had killed him. The revel was
continued without inquiry about tho fate Of
their victim.
Capt. Horton was taken up for dead. Four
bones OF his neck were crushed. His back
was broken. Indeed he was so shockingly
mangled that DR.. Willard, in his testimony,
expressed his astonishment that he survived
an hour. lie did, however, linger ill the 9th
inst, when he died.
The Loco Focos were soon informed that
Horton could not live, but they continued
their carousal. Indeed they soon after sal.
lied into the streets, and with violin and
bugle, marched about, drinking, shouting, and
insulting peaceable citizens.
(Our correspondent bears hsrd upon high

was conspicuous among the actors in this
disgraceful and outrageous scene.
coroner's jury, after long and patient
investigation, have returned as their verdict,
that Arnold Horton came to his death by be.

out OF the room over the bannister and down
stairs.

pendant upon him for support. The scene

bled, was heart rending. There lay the life.

than being Whig In the same room sat
his heart broken wife and bereaved orphan
children, weeping over The remains Of him
who supported and protected them!
Every effort was made by the wretches
who were concerned in the outrage 10 sup
press testimony and overawe the jury. Bot
the facts were too clear. The jurors, though
unable to identify the persons who commit
ted the murder, said on their oaths that the
deceased came by his death felouiously and
wickedly.
Capt Horton was on honest, unofending
man.

Monudy, Mhrcn 20, 1893.
Our Legislature adjourned this morn
ing at seven O'Clock, sine die. A few
bills that had been previously acted OF
were finally passed. The vote ofthank.
to the President of the Senate was of:
fered by Mr.. Belcher. In the House
Mr.. Allen ofBangor offered the vote OF
thanks to the Speaker.
So far as the two political parties are
concerned, our Legislature has separa-
ted in very good humor. The Loco
Focos have carried home considerable
bitterness Of feeling towards each Other
growing out Of their quarrels about the
spoils Of victory. But few measures OF
public interest have been acted on du-
ring the session. The measures adopt
ed in relation to the Northeastern N Boun-
Diary have been the exciting subject OF
the session.
The Cumberland and Oxford troops,
that have been here for the last few
weeks, l learn are to be sent home to-
morrow to be dismissed. also under
stand that part Of the troops that are
now stationed on the Aroostook, will
be discharged in few days. A suffi-
cicnt number, only, to be retained to
protect the timber that has been seized
on that river. Our Madawaska war
may therefore be considered as ended.
