THp REVIVAL IN YALE COLLEGE.

TEE REVIVAL IN YALE COLLEGE.
We have seen a letter from an eminent
professor in that institution, to friend
in this city, under the date of April 10,
from which we are permitted to make the
following extract:
1.-THE revival in Yale College has in
deed been wonderful. 1t commenced
under circumstances which had led us al
most to despair of any spiritual lnfu-
ence this season. The students had IN
happily been embroiled with one OF our
fire companies, and a death had taken
place in the ARRAY. Violence was threat
ened by published votes of number OF
the fire companies and the students were
so much agitated as to feel themselves
bound to carry fire arms in their own de-
tense. The feelings thus excited were
of course all hostile to a revival. And
yet through the grace of God, in the
midst of this excitement, large numbers
had their attention powerfully called to
the interests Of their souls. There was
little or no increase of preaching. The
Sunday evening exercises were continued
with increased energy and interest. The
students united in prayer meetings with
the people of the town they subscribed
largely for the family of the man who
was killed; they established evening
prayer meetings in the several entries
and quiet work of grace went on fol
about five weeks to the end of the term
At that time the church connected added
up the number of those who had public
ly expressed hope in Christ and deter
mination to enter into His service. They
amounted to 108. Besides these, four
teen had previously joined the colleg'
church, as the result of earlier influences
We have now two hundred and five pro
fessors of religion, members of the col
lege church; and may hope for an add
] ton of one hundred more, even if we al
low for defections. In one of the elias
ses, containing considerably more tina
one hundred students, there are onl
l thirteen who have not expressed hop
in Christ. This revival greatly resen
-, bles that of 1902. In that cases, whe
the college came together at the end {
vacation, the seriousness RECOMMENDED
and continued during the summer tern
We cannot but hope for similar bles

THE NEW KANSAS CONSTITUTION.
The St. Louis papers have received
the Constitution adopted by the recent
Convention held at Leavenworth. The
document is quite lengthy. The follow
ing are its most prominent points of in
terest:
The ordinance" provides for the ap-
plication of the public lands to be re-
ceived from Congress for railroad pur-
poses TO the construction of four lines of
railroads--one across north Kansas,
westwardly; one across central Kansas,
westwardly; one across south Kansas,
westwardly; and one across the State
from north to south. The terminii of
these roads is left to be determined in the
future. A liberal portion of the public
lands is applied to the creation of COM
mon school fund. The bill of rights is
fully up to high-water mark, being copied
in many parts from the old Virginia bill
of rights of 1875. Slavery is stricken
out at a single blow. The right of trial
by jury is rendered inviolate in all cases
whatsoever. No man can be deprived
of his liberty or property without the
judgment Of his peers. Women are af
forded equal rights with men in regard
to property, and in the control and pro
lection of their children. A homestead
of 100 acres is provided for each family
Schools are to be free to every child il
the State. The single district system i

al assembly. The first legislature is tt
submit the question of location of tn
capital to the people, and is also to pro
vide by law for the submission Of tn
question of universal suffrage to vot
of the people meanwhile the right G
suffrage, as provided by the laws of tn
territory, is to be exercised by male cit
zens of the United States over the az
of twenty-one years.

SELECT School IN COVENTRY. They
are having large and hourishing school
at Coventry Falls. 1t is kept by Mr.. H.
K. Dewey who has heretofore earned an
enviable reputation as teacher. There
have been nearly seventy students at
tending the school this spring. We rath-
er think it is as large as any school in
the county, and this is the first term
We visited it on Tuesday last, and were
pleased to see the good order observed
in the different classes which should
characterize the earnest student.

ALL FOR LovE-A LADY MURDER
ED BY HER LovER.-Robert Schmidt,
a young German, was engaged to marry
Harriet Seidler, of Theresa, Dodge Co.,
Michigan, an estimable girl of twenty
summers and the attachment existing
between them was as romatic as that of
heroes and heroines in the novels of old
times. Schmidt was poor, and resided
in St. Paul, where he worked at a trade,
encouraged with the hope of one day
applying his scanty earnings for the
comfort and welfare of his much loved
Harriet. They had been engaged one
year and Robert went to Theresa, ex-
pecting to take from thence, bride; but
the parents of Harriet forbade the mar
riage, and in the first flush of despair,
the lovers determined to die together
It was arranged between them that
Schmidt should first shoot her, and then
himself; accordingly, on Saturday the
9Th inst, he shot her with double bar
relied gun and attempted to commit sui
eide, but lost the cap from the remaining
barrel, and foiled for the moment, raw
ing like a mailman, he rushed to the river
and plunged in /; but was rescured ant
placed in Jail. The first charge of sho
entered Harriet's breast, and she expir
ed on the following Sunday at two O'CLOCK
acquiting her lover Of all blame, ant
charging her parents with being respon
sible for the tragic deed. What will b.
done with the wretched man, is no
known; he lies in prison, piteous OBJ
iect to behold. Such fearful event
should be warning to all parents, tina
they attempt not to thwart nature, b,
, acts Of domestic tyranny, or attempte'
regulation of the young hearts most pas
= sionate impulses.

Levee at Coventry.

On Friday eve of last week we had the
pleasure of attending the Levee at Co
ventry Falls, in the Town Hall got up
for the entertainment of the students
from abroad and the patrons of the school.
About two hundred and fifty persons
were present. The exercises consisted
principally of charades, tableaux and dia-
logues, and although but little time was
spent in the preparation, yet we were
highly pleased with the arrangement
and execution of all the various scenes,
and plainly indicated to US that the whole
was suggested and guided by Master
Hand In several instances the audience
loudly called for a second sight, which
was readily granted, and witnessed with
increased interest.
The German Pedler,' the Bearded
Woman and the closing scene, a ser
enade, the representation of a bite
Mistake" were all received with louC
applause.
The district have recently built larg
and ccmmodious house at an expense @
| S2300,00 and with the interest the pat
rons now feel in the success of the schoo
together with teachers of the same STAN
as the one they now have, we think W
can truly say that the time is sbor
wherein they viii receive an abundar
reward.

REVOLVING CRUELTY.-The Santa
Fe Gazette of March 6 gives some de-
tails of the horrid massacre of eight
Apache Indians by the Mexicans of the
Mesilla country, and among other facts
states the following:
" An old Indian woman, at least 60
years of age. was shot through the body,
stabbed in the back five different times,
and then suspended by one foot from the
pummel of the saddle by a rope, and
dragged at the full speed of the horse
down a Hill for 400 yards. She was
loosened, and left on the ground for dead
After the Mexicans had left, the other
Indian women gathered around her, and
ascertaining who were present, and that
the tormentors had gone, she arose and
walked off with her companions
While this wholesale butchery is the
most brutal that has ever been perpetra
ted upon the Apaches by the people 0
Mesilla, it is but one of many outrage
committed. On various occasions here
tofore they have murdered Indians o
this tribe without provocation; and no
one of the murderers has ever BEEF
brought TO justice"

HORSES SOLD AT HIGH FIGURES.
We learn from a reliable source that
Mr.. Hill, owner of the late famous g Yer

color, to G. A. Austin, Esq, of Orwell,

CONFERENCE Communicable Joint
Committee of Conference on the Kansas
bill met this morning, all the members
being present. Mr.. Green, on behalf of
the majority of the Senate Committee,
submitted several proposed notifications
of the Senate bill, none of which proved
acceptable to the House Committee.
Propositions were then solicited from
the House Committee. Mr.. English re-
sponded that at the next meeting he
would submit a new bill, the precise
character of which has not transpired,
but it is understood TO be on a new line,
proposing a substitute for the Lecomp-
ton ordinance, and that the question of
admission under the Lecompton Consti-
tuition be referred to d fair vote of the
people of Kansas at an early day. II
the majority vote for it, Kansas to come
into the Union at once, under the Pres
ident's proclamation if against it, then
the bill provides for the formation of q
new Constitution, whenever the popula.
ton there equals the number required
for member in the U. S. House of Re
representatives.. The Committee adjourn
ed till tomorrow.
There is some reason to believe tina
Mr.. English's bill will be agreed to ii
conference, and passed by both Houses.

After the entertainments Katie and

lifting up both hands.
"Don thee swear, mother!" said "a
doc, edging towards the door, and disap-
pearing just as the old lady seemed to be
drawn towards some object which had a
particular fascination.
"Mr Hemmenway's present" said Miss
Severn, as Aunt Keturah held up a silver

Hemmenway's present, and
admired as the most recherche.
