William Foster, who murdered Mr. Put
nam on New York street car, was a pupil
at the Jonesville New York; Academy in
1852. The editor of the Gloversville Stand
ard says he remembers Foster well. He
was an obstreperoas pupil, and one day he
was taken to barn on the school grounds,
where Professor Wilson, large, powerful
man, administered TO him several doses of
that Spanish gad,' which he generally
kept in full view in a show case in the office,
as a warning TO such of the students as
were inclined to be ''fast" Fosters conduct
was such that the faculty of the school de-
termined not 20 admit him another term

CAME Down IN SToRM.-During the
rain yesterday morning a squad of Captain
McCann's patrolmen, third precinct
marched up the street to police headquar-
tiers, having in charge about sixty sinful
creatures of very low degree. Most of the
women were taken in from Dauphine, Cont
and Toulouse streets as Migrants and lewd
persons.
The police are occasionally censured for
arresting this class, but why we are unable
to understand. Vice, in whatever form it
is clothed, should be made to feel that there
exists power to keep it down. Who shall
advocate sin In this instance it can not
be gainsaid that these women do not make
an honest living; they do not toll for their
Saily bread, and they are not possessed of
wealth. Then their status is such as will
bear close inspection and severe restric-
ton.
Some of the prisoners, in their efforts to
make statements in their own behalf, con.
voted themselves by saying that they had
not stolen anything for month or had not
been in prison for some time, thus confess
ing themselves dishonest persons.
1t may be that some of the officers were
slightly prejudiced against these unfortu-
mates, and testified too freely in their zeal
to convict and possibly made few mis-
takes.
The commissioners, after a lengthy dis
cusson in executive session, concluded to
discharge the miserables.

Down WITH THE WND.-About noon
yesterday, during the prevalence OF pretty
strong wind. the flagstaff on the st. Charles
Theatre came down with a run, bringing
along a small portion of the brick cornlce'
The bricks showed little or no discretion,
falling around promiscuously, one OF them
doffing a Youngsters hat without cere
mony: The staff also displayed lack OF
good manners in Topping around loosely
without regard as to who was near. The
fall was caused by the wind whipping
line stretched across the street, used for
displaying a sign. 1t seems strange that
no one was injured, for several persons
were in front of the theatre at the time
The building itself was not harmed.

The two candidates for Governor of Ken
lucky are on the stump together. Governor
Leslie, the Democratic nominee, said, in
reply to General Harlan, few days ago,
that the Democracy do not propose to OPP
pose the thirteenth, fourteenth or fifteenth
amendments, or to disturb the rights of
the colored people under them: but when
the opportunity was afforded for their
repeal, or their being set aside by the
proper tribunals, they would favor such
action,

Yesterday.

"Hey, no, the wind and the rain"-It
sounds foolish enough in Shakespeare
Twelfth Night" but it had significance
and a meaning yesterday, which stripped it
of the foolish and clothed it with sober
reality. For from early morning till far
away in the night it poured down with a
persistence so unvarying that it seemed as
if the fountains of the great deep had
broken up, and nature was to be dissolved
in water And even at that point in the
dead of night when a cessation of toll
tardily comes at last to the wearied night
journalist. when his last line is written. and
he prepares to follow. at long distance

rain poured as if it never meant to stop
setting umbrellas and dreadnoughts at de-
fiance. "Hey, no, the wind and the ram

to enter on; hence, on principle as well
as on grounds of financial prudence, he

This is special dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune:
ST. PAUL, May 30.-Joe Rollett, of Penn
bina, died few days since after a prolonged
sickness. Rollett once figured largely in
this region both as a Democratic politician
and Indian fur trader, in the old Territorial
days. He was Representative in the Legis-
lature for several terms, and defeated bill
for the removal of the capital from st. Paul
to st. Peter by running off with it before it
had been signed by the Governor. He never
failed TO furnish several hundred Democratic
votes at an election from the Pembina dis
trict, although no bona fide citizen resided
in that locality. He was son, by her first
marriage, of the widow of Colonel III. L.
Dansman, of Prairie du Chen.
The Duluth Morning CaHhas been starved
out, and the proprietor announces that it
will be removed to st. Paul. The Call says
the people of Duluth refused to patronize it
because it told the truth regarding that
great rival of Chicago.
