STEUDENvILLE, May 20, 1868


MIR, EDIToR:-Your article in refer
ence to what you call "a romantic
adventure of some young men of the
town at the Seminary" contains some
statements not in accordance with the
facts, which would have tendency to
injure the Seminary.
LIST. The article rather conveys the
impression, that for young men to
meet young ladies' belonging to the
Seminary WAS common
occurrence. On the contrary, IL is Il
thing that has seldom happened in the
history of the Seminary. Any yOung
| lady who is detected in having any
communication with "lewd fellows OF
the baser sort, !" that sometimes prOwl
about the Seminary trying to attract
the attention of tho girls, is Immediate
ly expelled.
I'd, The article states that one Of the
young men "swinging himself over
the spout, was about entering an open
window"
we had a right TO suppose that the
young men were there with a malicious
purpose, but SO far as observed, no at
tempt had yet been made to enter a
window. Your statement In reference
TO this would have tendency TO alarm
the parents OF the young ladies who
might see your article.
Sd. You stnts TINT the teacher fired
upon him and companion several times.
Only one shot was fired at one of the
intruders. Being closely pursued with
II six shooter they escaped by jump
ing TO the pavement from a roof two
stories high, both receiving serious in
juries. The one who was caught and
convicted yesterday, was not arrested
Mt the Seminary, but in another part of
the city.
anu sure you would not willingly do
Injustice TO any one, aud will be glad
to have correct statement of the facts
in the case. a. NJ. REED.

two miles above Warsaw, on the Indiana side.
The United States had quantity of petroleum

the starboard side forward of her steps, cut
ting into her considerable distance, and
sinking her to about the main deck. In ten
minutes fire was communicated in some way to
flames.
= II Is said that some mistake was made in the
signals. The America blew her whistle twice,
which the pilot on the United States apparently
did not hear. The America again signaled two
blasts of her whistle and then the United States
answered but it was too late, as both steamers
