By a late re- organization Of this departmental
Delaware College, the Boardof Trusteeshave taken
measures to place il upon a new and improved
foundation, and to endow il with advantages pos
sessed by few similar institutions in the country.
The Academy, heretofore merged in the College,
and ofcourse subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalgamation Of the two
dcpa rtments in the same building, and under tho
same government, now enjoys the privilege Of
separatecstablishmcnt, ,withoutlosing those which
resultfrom its relation to the College proper.

Thn RnfuRenA- IRlOt.

The Federal Council of Switzerland has. in
consequence OF the repeated re monstrances OF the
German powers, iust abolished the absolute obli'
cation i'm osed IN July 1910, on the various can.
tons TO receive political refugees: 1t has, mOreO'
yer. maintained the DEGREES relative to the expul'
sop or transmission Of refugees into the interior.
These revolutions are communicated TO the can.
tons by proclamation dated Berne, the 25th ult.
This document explains that, after the events Of
ls4s and Ie49 Switzerland was obliged, from it's
position, and from the duties of humanity, to re-
ceive a vast number of refugees of different ma
tioI s. and to take measures for distributing them
among the ctntOus but the time has now arrived
~ which the cantons can be relieved from this
burden and allowed their old privilege of dealing
Is they please with refugees II says moreover,
that the French government bss offered to convey
to Euelsnd or America all refugees not French,
Eto may be unable to retarn TO their own coun'
tries. Under these circumstances it observesthat
the caLtons may make use Of the right Of ezPe
ling refugees without subjecting themselves to
the charge of severity. In July, 1919, the number
Of refugees under general control OF the contede
ration was ll,000i but by pardons, explosions,
ard voluntary departures 1t has been reduced to
about 500.
The Swiss journals state that a ssnguinary con-
fict had iu,t taken place az Matten, in the district
If Iuterlsckeu, between the troops and band OF
insurgents in the course Of which two OF the for
