The severe storm which passed over this
place to-day did great damage to the Agri-
cultural college building. The lightning struck
the roof Of the boarding hall, tearing off some
OF the shingles and several of the students
felt the stroke quite plainly. The greatest
damage was done by hail-stones, some OF which
we're as large as turkeys egg, breaking out
window. lights at the halls and Professors
houses, and nearly SIX hundred glass out OF
the greenhouse and injurlng the plants con-
siderably. The entire damages are estimated
at from $500 to 81 200. The college board OF
agriculture are in session at the college. Mr..

A special dispatch from Washington
says: The House has sent journalist
to jail, and in so doing has established
very curious precedent. He was sent
there not because he had refused to
answer any question, but because he
was impertinent in answering a ques-
tion. All but the fourteen members
who voted against the resolution, have
decided that impertinence to the House
is to be punished by Imprisonment at
the pleasure of the House. Wetmore's
W ttit lulC OA lliAil " EilON
cause, was very ill.judged. intemper-
ate, fiamboyant and insolent. No
journalist here defends it, and it is
palliated only by the painful appre-
hension that possibly it was the pro-
duction of disordered mind. Gen.
Garfield intimated as much to the
House. Wetmore has been i'll for
some weeks with a slow, malarious
fever. His physician said that he last
night was in quite serious condition,
and it is thought possible that the ex-
element incident to the events of yes
terday, may have disturbed his mind.
The committee of ways and means,
after the precipitate action of the
House, fearful that they had punished
a man for what may possibly prove a
disease, directed the Sergeant-at-arms
to procure skillful physicians to ex-
anime into his condition.

In the Beecher-Tilton trial to-day,
the cross-examination OF Moulton 10y
Tracy was continued. The main point
of interest touched upon was the so
called letter OF contrition, which the
witness declares was dictated 10 him
word for word by Beecher. He was
very closely questioned in reference to
everything connected with this letter.
He testified that Beecher said at the
meeting that this letter was written,
that he had prayed God for help to dis
continue their (his and Mrs. Tllton's)
sexual relations. These were The very
words he used. Beecher told witness
of the story of Bessie Turner told of
Tilton's taking her from her bed to
his, and he said he did not believe it.
He showed the letter OF contrition to
Tilton the night it was written. He
did not know that Tilton copied it /;
did not know That he got n copy OF it,
or how the portion that appeared in
the Bacon letter was procured. He
admitted that Tilton might have had
the letter in his possession an hour or
two, and testified that the letter was
given him by Beecher in trust.
