were arrested some months since, for steal
ing, and last week, two more, named Snow
and Rider, were caught. A roll of leather,
which had been stolen from Mr.. B. +. Her.
bert, was found concealed near Shows
house which led to his arrest, and in his
house were found many stolen articles, and
in snow-drift in front a tub of butter,
stolen the night before. Snow was COM

The tears and compliments with which
Mr.. Buchanan dismisses such men as Mr.
Cobb from his service, while they go to
their reasonable work against the republic,
is in contrast TO Jackson's style of treating

him in 1880, asked jackson if he had any

A ROGUE CAUGHT! - The people in
Hinesburgh and vicinity have suffered much
for some weeks past from depredations
made by some unknown person who con-
cealed his steps so well as TO evade detec-
ton. But last week Tuesday he was
brought to dead halt by an arrest near
Hinesburgh. 1t appears from develope-
ments that he has fora some time past been
in the habit Of breaking into corn-barns
and taking full wagon load from its con-
tents, and also Of robbing clothes lines. He
was accompanied in his excursions by girl
IA or 10 years old, said to be sister of
his wife. His name Is Harrison Grace,
and has been out of prison but few
months, to which he was sent four or five
years ago for horse stealing. He is pre-
ciOus scoundrel and will have TO $50 up"
The girl says she assisted in the robbcries
under compulsion. Grace turns out to be
the same scamp who robbed an express
wagon belonging to Mr.. 0. Boynton, Of
Hiuesburgh, two months ago.
SMART.--Coventry, with population of

make better showing in proportion to its
population?

not secede last Tuesday, Tier Convention

considered So between MIR. Keitt and the

saved. The glories of that great immaculate
Lumbug of disunion are yet in the distance.

Mr.. EptroR :----It would seem from the
various accounts which have, of late, come
to hand. that the spirit of characterization
has prevailed to mn. unprecedented degree
in several of our New England colleges
during the past year. 1t would, by no
means, comport with the purpose of the
present article to arraign before the public
any particular school in which these dis
graceful scenes may have TRANSFERRED; for
this might seem invidious. We desire only
to correct the views Of those who, by these
gloomy reports of college life,' are led to
pronounce such institutions the "hot-beds
of vice the highway to ruin J That
young men while at college are exposed TO
many temptations, is a fact which no per-
son who is informed upon the subject, will
presume to deny. But who will say that
"eyil communications " are peculiar to the
college? Are not the youth exposed TO
the allurements of vice aohereerer they may
be? If, on this ground, we denounce the
college, we may, with equal propriety, vote
against the academy and common school.
The truth is, cur colleges are, mainly, what
the people make them. Yes, 4" the people ;"
are at fault in sending to them so much ri-
cious material! In these days it is becom-
ing very difficult task to teach or rather
o,.,Ueyu a common school even! Young
a,,,erica is wide awake and saucily shakes
his fist i, yo,'r face, should you attempt
anv restrictions upcsn his individual free
dom. The parent, b, neg.secting to reprove
at the proper time, directly encourages 'iie
habit of imppdent speech and vulgar retof''
regarding such indications as
only the early buildings of youthful gen
us" Here, then, we discover the secret of
he whole matter. TIE gross neglect of
family government may be regarded as the
primary cause of the increasing rowdyism
md rebellious outbreaks so common in our
colleges and other institutions OF learning.
Would parents, therefore, see these evils
'emoved, they must begin the work. They
must, for aught we can see, return TO the
rood old ways of Solomon then the prac-
iced motto of many, spare the rod and
poll the child" would give place to the
wiser and more scriptural maxim, "use the
cd and sare the child" Look to this mat
er, parents, and remember that every WELL
governed family helps TO make prosper
Jus school and happy State.

lion. d. L. Nicholson of Wallingford, was
waiting for the train at the Rutland depot,
and passing the time in familiar political
conversation with two republican acquain-
tances from Bennington. there happened to
be present a well dressed "bully," announc-
ing himself as an Ohio Democrat, who tax
ing exceptions 10 the remarks, twisted his
left hand into the neck tie of Mr.. Nichol-
son, and with drawn fist, ordered him, on
pain of broken head, to ''dry up his talk"
whcreupon Mr.. Nicholson, after reasonable
remonstrances, promptly knocked the ruff

CoNGREss.-Nothing of much note has
occurred during the week past. The COM
mittee Of 33 have had several long sessions,
but have yet made no report. A report is
expected, however, soon. Senator Wade
of Ohio made the best speech of the ses.

that he would not compromise away the
victory which the republicans had fairly
and constitutionally won in the late presi
Dental campaign. II was most excelen
