THE LATE DIFFICULTY IN THE

pamphlet form some time ago:
"On Sunday l9th April. when the chap.

do At. The students were then taken back
and in about one week member of the Fac
ulty asked one of the class how they liked
the resolutions of the Faculty in connection
with taking back the yopng men, and then
for the first time the class knew of any con-
dltlons in taking the three members back -
u seems the private and unofficial conversa-
tion the committee had with the President
had been made the basis OF the resolutions,
adopted by the Faculty, and must have
been furnished the Faculty by the President
and used in this unwarrantablc and unjusti-
liable way, after an express understanding
that they were not to be so used.
The Jupior class ha6 another meeting
and sent memorial to the Faculty, saying
they never authorised the President to coIp
mnnicate such information TO them aud
that if they were actuatcd by that they
must reconsider their late action.
The Prcslden; denied TO tho committee,
that he had used the private information
officially, but the resolutions show that it
Was 50 used, and we hear no protest made
by him against the use of it since, and in
addition TO this, five Of the Faculty said he
did use it officially.
After all this the students bccrmc con-
vinccd tha. the President had made a mis-
representation, and this is the sole reason
why they refused to recognize him in his
recitation room or any other place. They

NARROW ESCAPE.

We learn that Maj J. ID. Wyl;e, while on
his way to Chestervillc to attend the extra
term of Court Rt that place, on Wednesday
of last week, narrowly escaped being
drowned while crossing Rocky Creek in
two horse buggy,a few miles this side of
the Z. ii. He was accompanied by young
Paul Harris, brother.in to NJ. II. Craw.
ford, Esq. The stroam was flooded from n
late rain and was much deel cr and swiftcr
near the opposite bank, than it appeared to
be from this side tho horses when swim
ming near the middle Of the current, were
struck with heavy piece of timber that
was floating by. which forged them down
the stream, and they lodged, buggy logs
and all, against raft, in water ten or twelve
feet deep. Young Harris swan to place
of safety Maj. WyIie's efforts were direc-
ted TO saving the horses that were complete
ly immersed under water and cntanglcd in
the harness and among the logs, and bv
diving under water he, at emf nent risk of
life. succeeded finally in cutting the horses
loose from the buggy. This occupied seve.
raj minutes and was accomplished after re-
peated efforts. The horses were nearly
drowned when cytricated from their peril
GUS situation. Maj. Wylc, most Fortunate
ly escaped with only few bruises tie, n,
one time, got the skirt of his coat fastened
while under water and nearly sullocated
before he succeeded in breaking it loose.
This is said to be q dangerous ford and
may deceive persons not acquainted with it.
Several horses, perhaps, have been drowned
there on previous occasions.
