Of Middlebury College, will be pleased
to learn, that kind Providence is still

to the Board Of Trustees, through the
President, to secure to the College
the sum of $40, 900, as a permanent
fund to aid worthy young men in OBJ
tanning an education-provided the
sum of $4,000 in addition shall be
raised in scholarships or otherwise for
the same general purpose.
The Trustees feel that this munifi-

A "Reminiscences OF Gen. Jackson

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce says:
"In March, 1929, Gen. Jackson
succeeded to the Presidency. Be-
tween Gen. Scott and Gen. Jackson
there had been personal difficulties da-
ting as far back as the year 1915.
"At an early stage of the new adj
ministration, Gen. Scott called at the
office of the Secretary of War-Gen.
John IL. Eaton-and rendered to him
his resignation as Major General in
the Army.
Gen. Eaton, very cool, consid-
crate man, and friendly to Gen. Scott,
begged to demonstrate against this
procedure.

The State Ticket comprises men of
unimpeachable character, good abilities,
and large experience in the public
service. Mr.. FAIRBANKS received 46
votes for Governor, out of 60 on the
first ballot in Committee-Mr. HoL-

lot f; and on the second Mr.. KIT
REDGE received majority of the whole
number cast.-Mr. HowEs was unan-
imously nominated by the Committee.
The voting proceeded without discus
sion, without any persons being named
as candidates, and the several ballots
were, therefore, genuine expression
of the preferences of the Committee.
The ticket was accepted by a unani-
nous vote of the Convention, and
heartily commended for the support Of
the people.

The Freo Soil Platform.

The platform adopted by the Free
Soil State Convention, at Montpelier,
is the most remarkable specimen of
consistency and rhetorical adroitness,
it has ever been our fortune to meet
with.
The strong Genunciation of Pierce,
and the eloquent eulOgum upon Ran
tOul, who supports Pierce, are partic-
ularly delicious. Its assertion that
the Wings yielded all the 'Old is
Sues and that there has ceased to be
any difference, in principles and meas
'ures, between the Wings and Demo

following anecdote:
A citizen of our town gives re-
mark made by Gen. Scott at Fort
George, in 1918. A British flag was
sent to the American army. The car
rier was sent to Gen. Scots tent, and
said to him; " General has sent me
with this flag to request that you sur
render to him, for if you do not, he
shall be compelled to storm the fort,
and he will not be responsible for the
Indians" The reply of Gen. Scott
was this; "Tell your General to
come on and storm the fort, and l will
be responsible for the Indians"

Human wolves.

The following is an extract from work lately
published in England, entitled " Journal of
Winter Tour in India" by the Hon. Capt. Fran
cis Edgerton.
"After breakfast we all stopped at home,
scrbbling and playing at billiards, &c. Colonel
SIeeman told us a singular story of carrying off
and educating of children by wolves in this
neighborhood. Some time ago, two Of the
king Oude's suwars riding along the banks Of
the river Goomptje, saw three animals come
down to drink Two of them were evidently
young wolves, but the third was some other an
imal. They rode up and captured the whole
three and to their great surprise, found that the
doubtful animal was a small naked boy. He was
on all fours like his companions, had calOsities
on his knees and elbows evidently caused by
the attitudes used in moving about, and bit and
scratched his captors as any wolf might have
done. The boy was brought in to Lucknow,
and after long time to certain extent tanned.
At first he could not speak at all, but he seemed
to have dog like facility for finding out what
was meant by signs. He lived some time at
Lucknow, and what became of him don't
know Another boy found Under similar cir
cumstances, lived with two English people some
time. He learnt at last to pronounce one word,
the name of lady who was kind to him but
his intellect was always clouded, more like the
instinct of an animal than the mind Of human
being. There was another more wonderful but
less authenticated story Of boy, who, after his
recapture, was seen to be visited by three Olives
one evening. They came evidently with evi
intentions, but after examining him closely hi
apparently alarmed, played with him, and subse
quently brought the rest of the family, until tn
wolves we're FIVE in number which was ais

This story my informant did not vouch for b.
