Evans, steward, assaulted Capt. Devlng with
severe blows in the face and on the head, and
endeavored to throw him overheard. The first
mate, Edward Smith, sprang to assist the cap.
tain, upon which the captain, half stunned,
reeled to the cabin and his room, while the
first mate continued struggling with and ex-
horting the steward to desist. In the mean
time sailor named john st. Clair, who had
been put in irons the previous day for assault
ing the captain, set himself free and Joined the
steward against the first mate, whom they
pushed forward to the cabin, and wrestling in
the cabin, the steward took from the pantry a
knife he was accustomed to use tor cutting
bread, and fatally stabbed Smith in the left
side. The second mate took Smith ashore,
where he died in a few MINUTES. Evaus and

found, cutting the rope chains, and endeavor-

Exciting Me cling Of the Trustees Of the
EPiscoPaI The0lo4ical school

An exciting secret meeting of the Trustees
OF the Episcopal General Theological Semina-
ry held last eveping at the institution in West
10th street, Bishop Littlejohn in the chair.
1t appears that one of the faculty, Prof Sew
mour, had caused to be written and circulated
a pamphlet making serious charges against
DIR. Forbes. who, it is well known, has return
ed to the Episcopal from the Romish faith
Among other grave charges, he stated that Dr.
Forbes keeps alOof from and does not know
the students, and does not attend PRAYERS as
often as twice week. Besides attacking his
efhclency and learning, his general conduct is
assailed. Bishop Atkinson of North Carolina.
at the meeting last night, called attention of
the Board to The pamphlet, and asked that
COMMITTEE OF investigation be appointed The
meeting voted O1ay the matter ON the table,
Dean Forbes interpreted this action as equal
to tacit admission of their belief of the asser-
tons made against him, aud immediately ten
dered his resignation and at once left the room.
A scene of confusion and great excitement
followed. part of the meeting sustained
Or. Forbes, while some delegates took decid-
ed exception to his course. Elk Judge w. Ell.
Bell, one OF the Trustees, obtained the floor,
and while speaking with great earnestness on
the subject, fell dead with disease of the heart
TEis sad affair brought the meeting to an alb
rupt close. Another meeting of the Trustees
was held this morning, when DR.. Forbes in
sisted upon having his resignation accepted
Judge Bell occupied a seat on the bench in
this city about 30 years ago, and was in the
10th year of his age at the time of his death.

scenery of this famous lake has been sung by
the tourist for many years, and without doubt
no sheet of water in New England exceeds it
in attractions. To large majority of our own
people-lovers of nature-it has been a sealed
book on account of the circuitous route and
the expense of reaching it. On Wednesday
next the Portland and Rochester railroad will
be opened to Rochester, and arrangements
have been made for carrying excursionists to
Alton Bay, where steamer will be in readi-
ness for Wolfboro' and Center Harbor, thus
giving people an opportunity of going the
lake and returning home the same day. Moth
ing grander in the form OF an excursion has
been conceived than this, which has been got
up under the auspices OF the Mercantile Libra
ry Association. A very full 'bll of partcu-
lars" is printed in our advertising columns,
and the figures produced there are so reasona-
BILE that we hava no doubt the party will test
the capacity of the transportation facilities

Ipdfau Affairs,

The Secretary of the Interior received TODAY
an official report by Lieut.. Qunton, of the 7lh
Infantry, dated Fort Shaw, Montana. May 10,
giving an account OF his expedition in charge
OF supplies for the Milk river agency. At Fort
Browning. May 4h, Standing Buffalo accom-
panied 10y other leading chiefs of Sioux and
Red Stone and Little Bull of the Assinibone,
together with some $50 lodges of Santee and
Yancton Sioux, came in for grand smoke
and council, at which they expressed an ear
nest desire for peace, but made strong appeals
for powder aud lead with which to shoot the
buffalo. They said their old country was dead
There was no game there now and they had
lett it for good. They claimed to be chiefs of
whatever the buffalo wandered over. They
had go settled home and had been driven fro n
Minnesota to Missouri, and had been wander
ing ever since, sometimes at peace with the
white people but Oftener fighting them; but if
the government would deal with them as they
saw il was dealing with other Indians, they
that quite q number of his people had
farmed before and could farm again, but
at present wanted to go out after buffalo.
These Indians ale but the advance guard of
the Sioux nation who are expected to settle in
Montana. Standing Buffalo says they are al
coming. The Teton Sioux under Sitting Bull
number 800 lodges and are moving in this di
rection. Sitting Bulls band was formerly Red
Clouds. IL appears Red Cloud returned to
his people with wonderful stories of what he
had seen and heard while visiting the great
father at Washington.
The Indians say that these things cannot be
and that the white people must have put bad
medicines over Red Clouds eyes to make him
see anything and everything, SO Red Cloud
lost his influence. -

close inquiry into the modes of examination
