Editor Rutland Herald - Owing to alb
sence from home, was not able to look
into the case of the French Canadians
now in Jail here, before las, Monday, and
after investigation, do not hesitate to
say that these strangers nr9 the victims
of cruel persecution. Only one Of them
did anything, and that was throwing his
axe after the asssilunt had fred twice.
The others did not even throw their
plugs of tobacco at him.
Moreover, their clothes have been taken
from them, SO that now they have not q
shit to put on their backs besides those
they have been wearing for two weeks.
Some of them have families dependent on
them, and instead of earning for them,
they are in Jail, although entirely limo.

vert to one subject Of complaint, in REFER
Ice to the clock, and that is as to the

size of the one now in the court house It

Each new term sees larger number of
students in attendance than ever before,
and the facilities Of the institution for
imparting thorough course of instruc-
ton are also being enlarged. The course
of study for the guidance Of students in
the various departments Of the school
compares very favorably with that OF
the oldest and best colleges in the Uni-
ted States, and the facultyis composed
of gentlemen of first-class ability and
extended experience as educators. We
learn from the catalogue that one hun
dred and sixty-one students were in at
tendance during the past collegiate
wear. The Trustees advertise, this
morning, for a Principal for the Prepar
atory Department. The salary they
can afford to give is, we are informed
about twelve hundred dollars. We
hope that good man may I've found fol
the place.
