The EXCITEMENT AT KGNYoN Coz
LEGE-FYy Students Erpetied.-Th'
expulsion OF fifty students irum Kenyon
(Ohin) College vas annouced day oil
two ago by telegraph. Tie circumstan
ces .! the case Were as follows:
On Monday night a concert of some
kind came off al The village Of Gambler,
which was alt. nded BY the freshmen and
sophomore classes in body. After the
concert was out, II being somewhat late,
the students of bolh classes got together
and resolved that they would not recile
on the following morning, feeling perhaps
that the task Of getting their lessons would
be too much f,r their delicate conslitu-
lions. The whole of the sophomore
class, and greater portion OF the fresh
men, entered into Ibis compact.
The next morning as tue two classes
failed 10 make their appearance in their
recitation rooms, an explanation ensued,
which of course, rendered the faculty
"wroIh 10 degree" The feeling or
the subject was intensified, perhaps, from
The fact that The same bit of pleasantly
had been llyed off on several previous
occasions. and as few only of the fresh
men. aud but four Of The sophomore
would sign pledge not TO do SO again
three fouflhs Of the freshmen AID all ou
lnnr of the sophomoIes were at once eA
PEELED.

01r"The President of the Convention
was (oi course) B. s. Cowen. The chair
man Of their committee was (of course) D..
d. Cowen. The delegate from Pultney was
(of course) n. X. Cowen. The Secretary
Of the Convention was (of course) Davy
Thoburn, the brother-in.law Of B. R. Cuwen.
The speakers were (of course) B s Cowen,

down on their knees and eat dir, 10 the satis-
faction of the abolitonists and the disgust
of every national man present We have
taken full notes Of the speeches made on
that occasion and shall! comment upon Them
hereafter"
We clip the above from the Independent
Republican: 1t is part Of q characteris-
tic notice OF the Peoples Convention held
at Be mont, and is as usual, an evident at
tempt to misrepresent facts. Tie attempts
10 make great bugbear of Judge Cowen
acting chairman. Wha, has he against M.
Cowen but personal spite!
Of the Committee, when he took no part
whatever. DR.. Warf I'D was chairman OF
the committee.
B. r Cowen was one Of four Delegates
from Pultney. This seems to hurt the
Captuin very much.
And we, brother.in-law of b. r. Cowen
act 1 as Secretary. For his purpose he omils
to state that Coulson Davenport, one of the
best Americans of the county, was Secre-
tary and we only assistant.
We know the speakers can stand his fling
at them, as they have not to answer to him
for their political actions, much as he may
think so.
1t 10 perhaps worthy Of remark that one
year ago, under q similar call the peop'e
met at Belmont and were called TO order by
B. S. Cowen, B. R. Cowen being Dele
gate from Pul,ney and "Dsvy Thoburn" one
of the Secretaries, and that this sams

Of the Convention. He had no objections
to any and all, then, but now, when he il
