Grad Bonfre-IAe Law Satisfed-At
IL O'Clock Yesterday the gaming apparatus
lately seized by the police in the houses of
F. II. T. Allen, Murphy & Mccain, and
Richard Copeland. WAS taken frem the City
Hall by the officers and broken up and
burnt publicly, according to the terms of the
law. The scene Of the confagration was
Broad street, in front of the City Hall and,
as near as we could ascertain. the following
is list of the articles consigned to the
flames: Faro tables, s. roulette table. l.:
shove itup-a-spout, /; cards, bushel tmors
or less); livery checks, ditto; and some trifling
articles, the names of which we did not hear.
II was a big fire, snd, as matter of course,
a big crowd assembled to see it. The flames
roared and cracked as, one after another, the
massive mahogany legs and other members
of the body of King Faro were pitched into
the devouring element, and the grim execu-
TONERS stirred UP the glowing GOALS with
malignant Joy, unmoved by the grief Of SYM
pathizing spectators. When nothing remained
but mass Of red hot enlbers, the officers re-
tired, and then young Richmond, white and
black, made an effort TO secure some relic of
the departed monarch. "Pve got fine dol.
lar chip" said one-"Pve got copper on
the acct" said another; but they crumbIed at
the touch, aud nothing now remains but ashes
of what WAS once 80 gorgeous and mis-
chievous. We were about to add that this is
tue last of the faro banks; but we remember
that the apparatus taken from Worsham and
Barns is slill il litigation. and thus reserved
for future con ffagration.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY, the military col
lege founded at Norwich in 1885 and former"
ly the smallest college in this State, is now
the most prosperous, If not in fact the larg-
est Of the three. The class which entered
there in September numbers now fifty-six--
more than the corresponding classes Of Mid
dlebury and Burlington together, and even
more than that Of Old Dartmouth, its sister
insiitut on across the river. 1t is pleasant
to see Norwich University in so Aourishing
condition.
This West Point Of Vermont deserves sue
cess, and either in its military or its educa-
tional appropriations, the State should not
forget its obligations to IN. T." Without
this institution the troops that have gone
from this State would have lacked the good
drill and discipline for which they were prais-
ed while en- route for Washington This coll
lege is represented by commissioned officers
in every Vermont regiment now in service.
