The spring term of the College
which has just closed, has been quite
well attended, and has proved to be
one of great educational improvement
and benefit TO those in attendance.
The College is at present in a very
fiourishIng condition. There were in
attendance for the past term, in all
the departments, about two hundred
students, ..
The Commercial Department was
very largely attended during the term
just past. This department has made
rapid progress in the past few terms,
and at the present time, it possesses
all the facilities requisite, for giving
thorough drill in business education,
and is not surpassed by any other
similar institution in the country
A writing room has lately been neat
ly fitted up in connection with the
Commercial Department, for the pur-
pose of giving instruction in Orna-
mental Penmanship, and Pen Draw
ing. This has long been needed by
the College, and will be literally pat
ronized. = fgrE -re.trs
The Literary Societies have receiv-
ed their usual amount Of attention,
during the term. Their halls have
been wen filed every Friday evening
by spectators, to listen to the perform
ances, which were well prepared, and
did great credit to the members.
The attendance for the coming sum-
mer term, will not be as large as that
of the preceding term, yet, it is hoped
thatit will be as beneficial to those in
in attendance, as any term during the
year, although the hot weather which
is expected in the summer months,
will render it rather unfavorable for
study. w.

The fruit prospects were never bet
ter than at this time, though we are
not out of the woods yet. The fruit
tree not now in full bloom is an ex-
ception. The cheese factories are now
in full operation, aud doing larger
business than the proprietors at first
anticipated. The Davis & Rider fac
tory is manufacturing from 700 cows.
Morey's factory at the Rapins, about
400 COWS. tits expected and believed
that the cheese made at these factories
will cnmmand higher price in mar
ket than cheese generally, from the
fact that the pasturage on high lands
is sweeter, and gives a better flavor
to milk than low land pasturage. The
weather for the last few weeks has
been extremely favorable for the
dairymen, and we hear from all quar-
ters, of an extraordinary flow ofmilk.
Mr.. Joseph Davis, in the South part
ofthis township, MIXED last Tuesday
morning 474 lbs from nineteen COWS,
Such yield from that number of
cows is considered hard to beat.
Seven students at Hiram college
were suspended By order Of the fac
ulty last Saturday, for the reason that
they would not participate in Division
exercises. Some of them were regis
teged fosa thraHgh course.
.We are informed that an y. 8. AS.
SCISSOR has been interviewing a couple
of ladies in an adjoining township,
and demanding license for practic-
ing midwifery. Such interviewing
most certainly has tendency to in
spire rs all with the most profound
respect, reverence and ave, for " the
best government the world has eyer
known" What glorious govern
ment it is, that can send an army of
lynx-eyed officials, to scour the
country from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciic, from the Lakes to the Gulf, to
ascertain what women therein are
enciente, and what females minister
to their sex in their peculiar sickness,
and demand frem them aP, S, License.
Happy, proud America; the light.
nings of Heaven haVe yielded to your
philosophy; the temptations Of earth
could not seduee your patriotism, and
the power Of yoHr armies and navies
can compel midwife to take license.

How They Build Houses in the West.

They have a quick way of doing
many things in the West. They build
houses in such short space of time
that it is not surprising to find towns
and villages spring up as il, by magic.
A large contractor in Chicago makes
business of providing houses to or
der at the shortest notice. AT pres
ent he is sending out seven meeting
houses for the Presbyteriaus, along
the line of thePaeific Railroad. These
rapidly constructed houses are, of
course, made, tof wood. AS an illus
tration of the rapidity with which
this contractor fulfils his contracts ;
he has had an order for a house,
where it was necessary to put up one
at once in order to save the title, and
he has gone a dozen miles or more
away, and had the house completed,
ready for use, inside of twelve work
ing hours. At this rate d moderate
sized town could be put in full ope-
ration in three OF four weeks. i

Fort ScoTT, May l3.-An account
of the most diabolical affair ever re-
corded, is published in to-day's SIoni-
tor. On Tuesday six men, either.
Texans or struggling outlaws from the
Indian territory, came to the town of
Ladore, a few miles south of this.
After drinking all day, they went to
the boarding house of J. n. Roach,
asked to stay all night and being re-
fused on account of their drunken
condition, one of the party knocked
Roach insensible with a revolver.
The party then went to the bed occu-r
pied by Roach's two daughters aged
twelve and fourteen years, ravished
them during the entire night, using a
knife to accomplish their purpose,
Roach revived after time, but feared
to stir, knowing that he would be
killed if he did so. He describes the
cries and cntreaties, of the girls as
heart rending. a quarrel arose.
among'the demons, and one was shot
dead while i'll the act of satisfying his
lust. AT daybreak the party fed, one
taking with him into the woods the.
youngest girl. The,town was imme-i
diately aroused, and parties started in
every direction to search for the fiends.
The one with the girl was soon over
taken and hung to tree; two others
were found secreted in the town, and
hung on the same tree. The remain
ing three were also captured and two
of,them hung. The other one, at last
accounts, was in the custody of the
citizens, but will probably share the
fate of his companions. The univer-
sal verdict here is that in this instance
at least, the summary manner of the
inf1iction of the punishment was en-
tirely justifiable. 80 -, 80 ed
