CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. The New York
Star has this important item:
' We have just learned with deep re-
greet that Chief Justice Chase has for
some time past boen suffering from q
paralytic stroke, which, without entirely
destroying the use OF his limbs, inoapa-
cltates him for walking without help,
and seriously affects his mind. His re-
covery is desired rather than confidently
expected; indeed, tits considered doubt.
ful whether he will again be able to re-
sumo the ardnous duties of the bench,
though it will be remembered that Judge
Grier remained on the bench for several
years after he became partially paralyzed.
The Chief Justice is now at the country
seat of Senator Sprague, his son-in-law,
ut Narragansett."
Ii this be true, it changes the Presi-
dental programme for 1872, and Chief
Justice Chase becomes curious parallel

OHIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The Agricultural College Board
met on Thursday, Oct. 20. There
were fifteen members present. After
several unsuccessful ballots they
selected the Neil farm as the site of
the college. The farm is two miles
north of Columbus. Messrs. Jones
and Perry were appointed a commit
tee to examine the titles, and the
Executive Committee, Messrs. Hor-
ton, Jones, Townshend and Sulli-
want, were instructed to close the
contract, and also to report a plan
and the cost of the building. Mr..
Jamison offered resolution to add
$4,000 of the Franklin county sub
scription to the endowment fund,
which after a warm discussion, was
postponed and the board adjourned.
AT the meeting the board voted,
before making the final location, not
to consider any proposition outside
of Franklin county. The vote by
which the Neil farm was chosen was
twelve to three, which was afterward
made unanimous.

A bank check just received at the
sub-treasury has strange history.
1t was originally issued to one quar-
termaster and made payable to an
other serving among the Indians.
The latter paid it away to a contrac-
tor, who in turn passed it to certain
cattle drovers from Texas. Many
months afterward, among the in
closures to report received at mil
itary headquarters from an officer
who had been on peace mission to
ascertain friendly Indians was a
piece of dirty paper, Enthusiastically
the half of bank check, but not
the half which bore the date and
signature. The report showed it to
have been found in the camp of these
Indians. A subsequent report from
another officer, engaged on another
friendly mission to another band of
Indians in different section of the
country, inclosed, with other vouch
ers of the satisfactory result of the
conference, the mission half of this
very check. The mystery of the
first half was solved. The unfor-
tunate drovers had been attacked
and killed by Indians belonging to
