1t is runored that the Board Of Trustees
Of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind lnstitu-
ton will suspend and send the untortu-
mates in their keeping home to be cared for
bv their friends. This will he hard on the
pupils of this institution. The Legislature
did its duty by appropriating $4,000 for
the support OF this institution. There are
some fifty in the colOrcd department, and
this fact may move GOV. Caldwell and All-
ditor Adams 10 put no obstacle III the way
Of the Treasurer'S furnishing the money
provided by the Legislature.
Treasurer Jenkins says he knows 10
reason why he should not pay the money
for the support Of this institution. Audi
tor Adams seems TO doubt as to whether
he will audit the accounts. Henderson. as
usual, has been absent from the city. fhe
comes back drunk, Gov. Caldwell can cas-
lily prevail on him not to audit the accounts
of the institution, and thus force the trus-
tees to suspend.
The penitentialy board pro- Ose to hire
ont the cOnvictS to work on railroads. We
observe thIt one hundred and fifty convicts
in nei@hbOrinc State have been hired out
for railroad work.
Now the serious question presents itself,
what will DR.. GriSsOm and his board do
with the hundreds of maniacs i'll the luna

ditor Adams take it into their heads that
the money furnished by the Legislature for
that institution shall not he SO applied ?
They cannot suspend, as the Deaf and
Dumb Institution may do, nor can they
hire out as the penitentiary board may do.
The consequences are SO serious 30 society

The Trial and Conviction OF Andrew

CARTHAGE, \. c., March |, 1872.
MessrS. Ed,tOTS:-To-day has witnessed
the conclusion of one of the most interest,"
ING and important trials ever known in
this State, IA brief account Of which must
be brought to tue attention of the people Of
North Carolina, for at last Justice has been
indicated, and \. j. Jones, late President
of tht, Western Railroad Company, has
been convicted for not accounting Tor the
funds of the said company to his successor
in office. As is well known, Mr.. y. >.
Jones has figured conspicuously before the
public in connection with Littleticld, Sweep
son s. Co.. and has been charged with mis-
apprOpriating the bonds issued to his rail-
road As President OF Western Railroad
Company, II received from the public
treasurer OF the State one million three
hundred and twenty thousand dollars i'll
special tax bonds, which had been issued
to complete the said road to Greensboro
by the legislature in February 1850, and
then refused to deliver or account for them
ia his successor in office. BY an act OF the
present General Assembly, ratified the 10Th
day of February 1871, it was enacted that
any President or Directors OF Railroad
Company who should refuse to account
with their successors for the assets AMI pa
pers of the company should be deemed
guilty OF misdemeanor, and upon conNlc-
ton, be fined at the discretion OF
the court, and imprisoned i'll the
penitentiary for not less than one
nor more than five years. BY
virtue of this act bench warrant was
issued by Chief Justice Pearson in March
last for the arrest of Mr., Jones, and after

Mr.. DurnaIl opened for the plaintiff in a
brief but pointed speech, and was followed
by Messrs. Johnston and Burbage for the
defendants, each of whom exhibited con-
siderable legal attainment, and Mr.. john
ston, we are compelled to say, impressed
al present that at the bar his equals will be
few.
Mr.. S. j. Skinner closed the argument
for the plaintiff in a speech abundant in
points, power, convincing effect, and inf
nitely transcending the majority of efforts
we have heard at the bar by experienced
lawyers. NIr. S. possesses rare oratorlcal
as well as forensic powers, seems perfectly
at home while on the floor, and we pre-
dict for him a brilliant career i'll his native
State, North Carolina.
At the conclusion of the argument, the
Court paid handsome compliment to all
the speakers, and announced that decl-
sion would be rendered at the next scS-
sion.-Washington Patriot.

Cornell University,

The Cornell University Register for
1o71-72 has made it's appearance. It is
very handsomely printed pamphlet to
begin with, though We should have
deemed this feature hardly worthy of
special mention had there not been an
other fact connected with this, namely,
that the Register is issued from the
Univereity press. From the same
press have also been issued various text
books for the institution, d weekly
journal edited by the students, and a
large number of pamphlets in various
languages. The number of the stu
dents, in the various courses of the
University is reported as 595 Nearly
half Of these are classified rs belonging
to the special and elective COURSES.
The College of Arts, which has a curri-
culum very like that of most of the
higher institutions of learning in this
country, contains but thirty-six mem
bers. 1t is quite insignificant, in COM
parlson with the more popular
schools connected with the course in
science and literature. Nor does it seem
to advance with the growth of the Uni
versity. This is not at all strange. The
spirit of Cornell is antagonistic, or at
least coldly Indifferent, to the laborious
and patient pursuit of classical
course, and to the thorough discipline
and fine culture which only this can
bring The University has received
gifts since its opening in 1868, to the
value of nearly $780, 600. 1t still asks
for more. The President, in bis last
report to the trustees, recommends that
the present faculty of forty-nine mem
bers be increased by eight more. This
requires the founding of as many pro
fessorships by the generous frien Is of
the institution. He suggests, also, that
another college, that of architecture,
should be added 80 the departments
already in working order. t'Sjc0 Her-

A Young Man Rolled to Death i'm Troy.

The Troy Times, of Tuesday, says
An accident, horrible in it's details, oc-
CURED, last evening, at nine O'Clock, at
the lower Burden mill in the Sixth
ward. Frederick Best, a young man
employed at one of the rolls, was the
victim. He had occasion to get drink
of water, and while reaching up to the
pail which was some feet above the roll,
his pantaloons were caught by the
gearing of the roll. Realizing the ter
rlble danger which threatened him,
Best endeavored to extricate himself,
but the stuff of which his garments
were made would not tear or give, and
his efforts to avert the danger were I'M
availing. The ponderous machinery
dragged him in, and he was carried be-
tween the rolls which are about nine
inches apart. His horror-stricken fell
low workmen looked ON in dumb
amazement, impotent TO assist him,
While his form was being forced
through this terrible wise, the creaking
and breaking of his bones was plainly
heard, and when it was thrown out by
the machinery he presented fearful
appearance. The tremendous pressure
to which he had been subjected had
crushed the head and body into thing
almost without shape Immediately
after his release the workmen gathered
around him and removed him to his
dwelling, near st. Joseph cemetery,
where DIR. Warwick attended him dur
ing the night, which he passed in a
condition of insensibllity. This morn
ing the unfortunate young man breathed
his last. He was about eighteen years
of age, and had an unbiemished repu-
tatiOn. This is the most terrible acct
dent which has occurred in many years
at the iron works, and the men whose
daily occupation places them in just
such risks feel more deeply than they
who casually read this paragraph.

The Silken Stone.

The San Francisco Bulletin says
Silk manufacture may be truthfully
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage in California The most
attention and money for ten years past
has been devoted to the culture of raw
silk, as preliminary to home manu-
facture of it; but latterly, while this
branch of industry is not abandoned, it
is really being pursued more intelli-
gently and hopefully, factories are I'M
der way which promise to afford it most
substantial help. Instead of waiting
for silk enough to be grown in the
State, these factories will supply de-
ficiencies of raw material by i'm
portion, thus building themselves up
while awaiting an increase of the do
nestle product. We have been glad
heretofore to record the success of the
California Silk Manufacturing Company,
which has factory at South San Fran
cisco, employing forty operatives, and
capable of turning out $3.50, 900 worth
of goods per annum. The products are
machine sewing silks, twists, tram, or
gandine and fringes, which are of excel
lent quality, and find a ready sale in
the market. The business was begun
on modest but safe scale, and it is to
be gradually extended

Profitable Marine Insurance in England
in 1871

The London Economist says: Our
iDg the last few years, it is understood,
marine insurance has been very profit
able. The principal insurance compa-
MES have paid large dividends, and the
result is that several new companies
have been started The experience is
comparatively novel, the years prior to
1868 having in general been unfortu-
mite, and the results having varied very
much among the different companies,
so that the low average profit shown
was only as good as It was because of
the exceptional prosperity of one or
two companies. There seems no room,
however, to doubt the fact, which is
fully confirmed, we think, by the
analysis of the accounts of the compa-
MES for 1871, which We subioin. What
ever may be the cause-~whether in
creasing skill on the part of the com
panies, or III the increasing employment
of steamers in the trade of the world,
or simply run of good luck for a
series ofyears. or perhaps all combined
the shareholders of the marine in
suranee companies have certainly been
enabled to earn very large profits"
