The DUDLEY OBsERAToRY. THE affairs Of
this Institution, at Albany, have been in Il
strange condition for some time. The di,a-
greements between the Trustees on the one
side, and the Scientific Council on the other
are taking new shape, as the following item
from the Albany Kn'ckcrJoctor shows
FoRcIBLE Possession. The Trustees of the
Dudley Observatory took forcibie possession
of tue premises ON Monday aItcrn ON. The
attacking party consisted Of the following
persons owen Curran. James Keenan,, r.
Winnie Elisha Mack the cX-loiceman,
Richard Parr, and six Others The doors
being locked, they obtained entrance through
the windows Having possession OF the OBJ
scrvatory, they expelled the inmates. They
then took fprciblc possession Of DIR Huuld S
dwelling. M this high-handcd bushes,
took place during DR.. Gould's absence. The
attack made was in the highest degree illegal.
and will, we presume, finish up at the Police
Office. Breaking into the private residence
of DIR. Gould looks little like burglary. We
should not he surprised if our Police Masis-
trates looked at it in this light, and treated
| the invaders as law breakers. The Trustees
have acted in Il very foolish manner. They
can make nothing by a resort to force. II thc
| law is ON their >ide, why do they resort t.
mob violence? Ii it is not ON t'lclr side mol
violence will only tend to prejudice the .rrus-
tees, and cause public opinion To st in rtii
more strongly towards DR.. Gould. The

one of the most diSsrLceful affairs known tC
the history of Albany. We hope to see the
