Flag Pend.

This mountainous district deserves ia
vorable mention for its enterprise in the
way of education. Within the last four
months an elegant two-story building has
been erected. The second story contains
a school T, ON and Masonic Hall. The
first story, which is not quite complete
yet, will be used as a church and a school
room.
A large and interesting school is now
in operation. One Hundred and Fifty
pupils have been enrolled with an aver
age attendance of Eighty-Six. Mr.. j. H.
Sans, the Principal is a self made young
man of great promise. The most of his
education, he received at Mars Hill Col
lege, an institution in n. Carolina. The
discipline of the school is excellent. A
large majority of the pupils are in the
primary studies, but we have never seen
greater interest among pupils anywhere.
The people are alive on the subject of
education-more SO than in most of the
districts in the n Y. The parents Wis
it the school-some thing that is not done
even in most of the towns where the oldest
aud best schools ought to be found. When
it is said the Flag Pond has a good school
it is simply stating the fact in plain terms.
+. We are assured that the school will
number Two Hundred pupils in a short
time. Arrangements have been made to
accommodate all that may enter. The
school is free to the children of the dis
trict-some Two Hundred aud Fifty un-
der school age, are in reach of Flag Pond
Seminary.
These mountain people are not so far
behi nd as we supposed They are simple
heart ted and industrious and celebrated
for their hospitality. A good school among
such people will do its Legitimate work
benefit the county.

The great confagraton at Chicago brings
discrcdit upon wooden pavements, such as
the Nicholson which was largely in use there.
Itcontributed much to promote the confagration
and obsruct efforts to stop it, In accounts of
the fire, we read as follows:- wooden pave
ments took fire, and some of the streets were
continuous sheets of fame two miles long" OF
course it was impossible for those seeking TO
save property to pass through those streets;
firemcn could not work in them nor 20 through
them to reach any point where their services
were needed. Chicago will probably, hereafter
deal more sparingly in wooden pavements and
wooden houses. 1t is, certainly, very desirable
that a citys streets should be fire proof. If the
streets are so constructed that they will burn even
more iercely than the buildings, how is possible
for fire department to make itself very useful2
Other cities can study the lesson furnished by
Chicago, and learn to appreciate the character
of wooden pavements and the dangers attend
ing them.

CoIIeSc Rebellion.

Tho students of Princeton college, New Jersey,
ore on tbe rampage, aud are behaving rather
worse than college boys elsewhere are apt to do
when they arc persuaded that their rights have
been violated. The trouble arose from the ''rus-
tication' of five members fthe sophomore class
for "hazing" freshmen. The whole class rose in
revolt, refusing TO attend Rotations until the
offenders were restored to their former stand
ing. The faculty would make no concession,
and the three other classes then joined in the
rebellion. The case did not yet appear despef-
are, and there was some prospect that a compro-
mise would be made, when all hope of an ami
cable adjustment was for the present crushed
by the riotous conduct of large body of stu
dents, who a few nights ago made the rounds of
their instructors residences, awaking each by
throwing a volley of stones through his win
dows, and keeping up this scholarly amusement
with cries of "Speechl Speech" until the dis
gusted professor, or tutor, appeared and OK
pressed his sentiments. The president, Rev. DR..
McCosh, was saluted with the irreverent shout
of "Jimmyl Jimmyl come out my fine Scotch
lad" With the perpetrators of such indignities
no terms can be made, and they show no symp-
toms of submission. Affairs at the college are,
therefore, in a bad way.
Without apoogizing for the outrageous be-
havior of these boys, for whom a sound whip
ming seems very desirable, it is perhaps not UNI
reasonable to suggest that We hear only one side
of the story, and possibly there may be some
lack of wisdom Or tact on the part of the gov
ernine authorities. When peace is restored,
il might be well to try with these turbulent fell
lows the system, which is said 10 work well in
an Iowa school or college, of entrusting the adj
ministration of discipline to the honor and right
feeling OF The students themselves. According
to the Iowa plan a court is organized, composed
entirely of students, except that member of the
faculty presdes, which sits in judgment upon
all offenders against college laws, doing substan-
tal Justice and commanding for its decisions
the respect and submission of all. The college
legislation, so far as it relates to its internal dis
cipIine, might also be entrusted in whole or in
part to the students. We have great confidence
that such system would work well in all our
colleges, and would, sooner than anything else,
put stop 10 some of the practices that, dis
graceful as they are, the faculty find it hard to
repress. The system, if it should succeed, would
greatly improve the relations now prevailing be-
tween students and instructors, and allow the
latter to give their whole mental force TO their
appropriate work, undisturbed by the veXations
which the enforcement of discipline brings.

It may interest many to know what gave birth
to such Jokes at the expense of New Jersey as
the following which we find in an exchange;
"The proposal to make foreign born persons
eligible for the presidential chair, we under
stand is advocated with the view that the peo-
pie of New jersey should enjoy the privilege ac-
corded to the native born"
The origin of the illusions to New Jersey as
a foreign country is said to be rs loows AZ
ter the downfall of the first Napoleon, his BROTH
err Joseph, who had been king Of Spain, and his
nephew, Prince Murat, son of the king of Italy,
sought refuge in this country, and brought
much wealth with them. Joseph Bonaparte
wished to build a palata residence here, but
did not desire to become citizen, as he hoped
to return TO Europe. To enable him as an alien
to hold real estate required a special act of leg
islature. He tried to get one passed for his bene-
fit in several states, but failed. He was much
chagrined, especially because Pennsylvania re
fused. After this he applied TO the New Jersey
legislature, which body granted both him and
Murat the privilege of purchasing lana. They
bought tract at Bordentown, and built magnif-
cent dwellings, and fitted them up in the most
costly manner. Rare paintings, statuury, &c /,
were prOluse and selected with care, and the
grounds laid out with exquisite taste.
Joseph Bonaparte's residence was perhaps the
finest in America. Thousands of people visited
il from all parts of the country, and were always
treated courteOusly. He was proIuse with his
money, and gave great impetus TO business in
the little town. The Philadelphians, finding
that he had apparently no end of money, and
that he used it TO benefit business generally, re-
GREETED, when il was too late, that they had re-
fused to let him locate among themselves; and,
to make up for their modification, would always
taunt Jerseymen with having king-wth inn
porting the king of Spain to rule over them;
they were called Spaniards and foreigners on
this account. But these taunts harmed no one,
as the Jerseymen lost nothing by their allur-
ing him to settle among them; and the term
foreigner" jokingly applied to JcrSeymen, has
come down to us long after its origin has been
forgotten, except by a few men of the past gen
Grafton. Many years ago, during the reign of
Louis PHILIPPE, we believe, both Bonaparte and
Murat found they could safely return to Europe
so they sold out and returned Washington Re
publican.
