Mr.. Osman-Permit US to say through
your columns, that we have leased of the
Trustees, the large unfinished audience
room of the Baptist Church, and propose
to finish it up a. hall, for the accommo-
dation of those large gatherings, that FIRE.
quently need larger and more comforta.
BILE place than the town has ever afforded.
We have long felt the necessity in this
place of some large and eommodious place,
for large assemblies. The best lectures
have been placed out of the reach of mul-
titudes that ought to have heard them,
simply because there was no place large
enough to hold an audience at low ad :
mittance, to pay expenses We shall not
make one dollar out Of the enterprise
We shall hold it as public hall, till we
are Unidentified for any money we may
advance ia the enterprise. We have plan.
ned an excursion to the Mississippi on the
I'd of July, and shall appropriate the pro-
ceeds to the finishing up the hall, if sue
cessful' If the public generally conclude
to spend six hours on the Mississippi, on
the I'd of July, we shall complete it, with
the least possible delay. And shall also
tender the free use of it for those larger
gatherings of the La Sale County Soldiers
Aid Society that cannot be accommo-
dated IN their present place Of meeting.
And we further propose to dedicate the
rents for one year to that Society, to aid
them, in their nobl and patriotic work.
Your readers will see by the advertise
ment in your paper the items of interest
in this excursion.
Let those from the country that do not
find places for their teams drive directly
to the Baptist Church, and there leave
their things, and drive to the yards by Hos.
sacks d Richardson's ware houses We
have engaged two charms, and the sheds
and the yards, and shall keep man there
to take care OF the teams until you return
in the evening.
Nc pains will be spared to make this
the finest excursion ever had in the west

and then continued in friendly chat. Now,
it so happened that the man had been in
sane, and was rapidly growing insane again.
A wild notion was fast acquiring the
strength of fixed idea The two men in
friendly chat were, in his mind, thieves
planning how they conld rob him, and he
was resolving to be the first in the field.
/ There was some method in his madness,
for he postponed the execution of his pro-
ject until the train had fairly started On its
last run to London. AS soon as it left
Bletchley the maniac drew knife and
stabbed Mr. Worland in the head. He
drew back his arm to repeat the stroke
when Mr.. Mclean, who seems to have had
his wits about him, knocked him back into
his seat. Springing up, the maniac made an
other dash at the now insensible Worland,
but here he was foiled again by Mclean,
who gripped his throat and his armed
hand, and a close combat began. All the
time the train flew rapidly through the
country. The woman sitting near the
other window had done all she could to
alarm the driver by wasting her screams
on the morning air, and now lay insensi
BILE from the effect Of terror The mad
man drew the blade of his knife through
the fingers Of Mclean, and thrust with it
wildly.
Worland had now regained his senses,
and he at once entered into the combat,
getting behind the mailman, and throw
ing him down. The maniac's yells were
louder than those of the woman they
were continuous, but neither guard or dri-
yer heard them. And so the tragedy con-
tinued, one long act, raving maniac held
down by two men, all covered with blood,
lighted by dim lamp and the gray dawn
For forty long miles this scene lasted, seen
by none except those engaged in the strife,
until ticket collector, hastily opening the
door, saw the two gashed and haggard
men bending over the exhausted mailman
on the blOod-stained floor.
Since the French police found the body
of a murdered judge in a railway carriage
nothing SO terrible has occurred. Of
course the madman, for he must have
been mad, was taken before magistrate,
and there he gave as a reason for his con-
duct the explanation we have already men
tiOned-he thought the two men were
about to rob him. He turns out to be
an Irish schoolmaster, Michael Lyons by
name, coming to London on mixed er-
rand of business and pleasure. 1t is said
that he has been confined in an asylum
for a year, and of course every inquiry
will be made into his past life and charac-
ter. He is now in the Bucks county Jail.

President Lords Resignation.

We lind in the Boston 1,'aoeliey tie
following letter of resignation by Presi-
dent Lord Of Dartmouth College -
DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, July "a, 1868
To the Trustees o. Dartmouth College -
In making this communication to the
honorable and Reverend Board of Trustees,
l take the liberty respectfully to protest
against their right to impose any religious.
ethical or political test upon any member
of their own body, or of the College Fac
ulty, beyond what is recognized by the
charter of the Institution, or express stat
utes or stimulations conformed to that in
strutment, however urged or suggested by
individuals or public bodies assuming to
be as Visitors OF the College or advisers
of the Trustees.
The action of the Trustees on certain
resolutions of the Merrimac County Con-
ference of Churches, virtually imposes
such test, inasmuch as it implicitly rep
resents and censures me as having become
injurious to the College, not on account of
any official malfeasance or delinquency,
for, on the contrary, its recommendations
of my personal and official character and
conduct during my long term of service,
far exceed my merits, but for my opinions
and publications on questions CT Biblical
ethics and Interpretation supposed to bear
unfavorably upon one branch of the policy
pursued by the present Administration OF
the government of the United States.
For my opinions and expressions Of
opinions ON such subjects, | hold myself
responsible only 70 God, and the constitu-
tional tribunals of my country, inasmuch
as they are not touched by the Charter of
the College, or any expressed statutes or
stipulations. And, while my answering
and never partisan loyalty to the cover :
ment of my fathers, proved and tested by
more than seventy years OF devotion to its
true and fundamental principles, cannot
be permanently discredited by the excited
passions Of war, do not feel obliged,
| when its exercise is called in question, to
resign my moral and constitutional right
and Christian liberty, in this respect, nor
submit to any censure, nor consent to any
conditions such as are implied in the
aforesaid action of the Trustees, which ac-
ton is made more impressive upon me in
view of the private communications of
several of its members.
But, not choosing to place myself in any
unkind relations to body having the re-
sponsible guardianship of the College,
body from which l have received SO many
tokens of confidence and regard, and be-
lieving it to be inconsistent with Christian
