The students at Amherst College are per-
mitted to work on the farm, as their studies
and other duties will allow. For this SER
vice they are paid the wages which such
labor commands in the fields of adjacent
farmers. By this means some students have
earned money enough to pay nearly all the
expenses of the college course, and from
fifty to seventy-five dollars is not an unusal
amount.
The National Virginian says: Governor
Walker has pardoned Alfred Stainback, a
colored man, who was convicted in the
county court of Brunswick of stealing a
pig, and sentenced to twelve months i'm
~prisonment. 1t turned out that the pig was
his own. Will the Governor pardon the
parties who committed perjury to secure
the imprisonment of Stainbackf This act
of humanity on the part of the Governor
will greatly improve his chances for the
nomination Of Vice President. And owners
and proprietors of swine may rest assured
that while they do not get the wrong pig by
the ear, they will not come to grief upon
charges of stealing their own swine.o
