Our Exhibition came off as per an

HIRAM.
CORRESPONDENCE. |

The fall term of Hiram College
closed last Friday. We understand the
term just closed was avery successful
one, although it was characterized by
degree ofrecklessness and lawlcssness-
unparalleled, by some the students.
Some were EXPELLED near the close of
the term. The government of the in
stitution is as efficient as ever.
4 remarkable exodus of Blackbirds
occurred last week. A train Of the
little fellows, estimated at three miles
in length and about forty feet in width
passed over this place last week, taking
due south conrse and flying very
high, as if for lengthy journey.
Did instinct warn them of the late
cold storm!
Several weeks ago Mr.. A. Pardee
stepped on needle which penetrated
his foot, and in attempting to extricate
it, the needle was broken, i'll about
three weeks the needle came out at
the top of the foot, causing considera-
BILE pain during the whole time.
Some of our early risers, who were
astirin tho Hgray Of the morning
were very much Mortified last Thurs
day morning on discovering the form
of a man suspended by the neck from
The steeple of the Methodist Church.
Supposing that some disgusted mortal
had paid the debt of nature before
maturity, the alarm was given, and a
crowd collected in a few moments
But g further light revealed an effigy
of one of the Professors, which some
malignant students had, at considera-
Bile expense and trouble, arranged and
put in position.
A large amount of potatoes were
taken from the ground last week, and
contrary to expectations, very few
were found frozen, The late storm
will delay operations several days.

The Election of U. s. Senator in ennessee

The Election of U. S. Senator in ennessee.
The question has been presented
whether Mr.. Cooper, the newly elect
ed Senator from Tennessee, is eligible
to q seat. The State Constitution de-
clares that ne Sonator Oh Represen-
tative shall, during the time for which
he is elected, be eligible to any Office
or place Of trust, the appointment of
which is vested in the Executive OF
General Assembly" Mr.. Cooper was,
at the time of his election, State
Senator, This would appear to be a
complete barrier to his being chosen !;
but it has been decided by the United
States Senate, in the case of Judge
Trumbull, who was State Judge in
Illinois, and likewise disqualified, that
State can neither add TO nor dimin-
ish the qualifications required by the
Constitution of the United States.
These qualifications are as follows
= No person shall be Senator who
shall not have attained to the age of
thirty years, and been nine years a
citizen of the United States, and who
shall not, when elected, be an inhabi-
tant of the State in which he shall
have been chosen" If the decision in
the Trumhull case is coprect-and it is
not likely TO be overruled in the pres
ent instance-Judge Cooper's election
will stand, and be held valid.-Cin.

time of the collision. MI Pierce and
the conductor of the train were i'll the

the approaching train, the former at
tempted to pass upon some coal cars
in front. but before he could eff
feet passage the locomotive struck

depressing the front underneath the
coal car which caught one OF Mr..
Pierce's limbs, crushing it at the ankle
The conductor who remained in the
car, was not injured and no damage
OF consequence resulted to the train.
AT present the patient is doing as we'll
as could be expected, and his relatives
