Robbery, Murder and Lynch
ing,

John Randolph and John Phillips were
arrested and taken to Shawnee village,
Tennessee, last Saturday, for robbing and
numbering Frank Williams, a German.
They confessed the murder and we're then
carried to Cornwell's Landing on their
way to Osceola, the county town, and
reaching the landing they informed their
captors that they belonged to band Of
which Robert Barton, white man, was
the leader, and jesse Carter, colored, was
a member that they were organized for
robbery. and had murdered several per.
sons. Tho indignation of the citizens was
intense. A mob took the prisoners out
and shot Randolph, killing him instantly,
but Phillips escaped and the whole neigh
borhood are in search of him. Barton
and Carter have been arrested and taken
to Osceola Jail.

a@Two petitions for change of
time in holding Commencement exercises
were laid before the corporation of the
college at their meetings last week. One
sets forth that the students all desire to
attend the Centennial at Philadelphia,
next year, and therefore wish an early
release from college duties on that occa-
sion the other proposes a permanent
change in the time Of holding commence
ment exercises to the last week iu June
as moro fitting time, and for the pIr-
pose OF getting out as soon as the students
Of other colleges. No fnal action was
taken, but the matter was referred to q
committee with full powers. There may
we'll be doubt as to the adequacy of these
reasons for change which involves so
much Of Inconvenience to the sons of the
institution who desire to attend Their
wishes are to be considered not less than
secondary to those Of the students Any
temporary change is undesirable. There
are no compensations which can offset
the inconvenience Of such an unsettling
policy. Indeed, any change will have a
tendency to diminish the attendance of
the alumni, and should be well considered
before adoption. But if there is to be a
change let it be permanent, and the time
then become as unalterabe as the laws
of the Modes and Persians.

TUESDAY, JULY 81, 1876.

sEThe post.prondial exercises of the
Alumni dinner, last Tuesday, we're ex.
ceptiopally good. The utterances we're
manly and judicous, and breathed only
loyalty to Alma Mater. That beautiful
and original quotation, "feast Of reason
and flow Of soul" was used only four or
five times and there wero only two ex.
hibitions of essential egotism. 1t is also
a pleasure to note that there was an alb.
sence of language which has double or
doubtful meaning, suggesting ideas Of a
bawdy nature, which some seem to think
so essential to wit in an after.dinner
speech. This kind Of wit is probably re-.
served for the Pilgrims celebration, in
December.

AZ The investigation demanded by
George Gregory Smith, a young lawyer of
st. Adams and Oldest son of Ex-Governor
Smith, who has been cruelty suspected of
being the murderer of Miss Marietta N.
Ball about year ago, closed on Wednes.
day last, and resulted in most conclusive
vindication of his innocence. The testi.
mony establishing an alibi was very
strong and convincing But the disgrace
full suspicion followed by more criminal
utterance of unfounded rumors has
wrought terrible outrage on the good
name Of a worthy citizen. II the wrong
is not irretrievable, it is dastardly in those
who have been party to the infection,
and atrociously cruel and terrible in its
immediate effects. Language seems in.
adequate to express the infamy of those
who willingly give currency to a vile and
cruel SANDER.

Rutland. town of ten thousand
inhabitants, situated about thirty-6ve
miles south of Middlebury, is happy
place. Its happiness is of the same kind
as that felt by the witnesses of the famous
combat of the Kilkenny cats. For forum.
ate Rutland possesses two daily papers,
called respectively the Globe and the
Herald, and is diurnally amused by the
little squabbles thereof Three hundred
and thirteen times in the circling year
does that blessed town smile over some
portentous joke "got of on" the Herald
by the Globe, and three hundred and
thirteen times more does it grin over the
excruciatingly spicy rejOinder of the Her.
aid. The same number Of times is it as.
sured by the Herald that the Globe lacks
enterprise, and everything else, including
rhetoric" necessary in daily journal,
and by the Globe that the Herald is as
devoid of intellect as fresh water clam,
and as RUTHLESS as the father Of Les, or
even the ArguS. Rutland's sense Of fun
was hugely ministered to during the past
week. For the Globe neatly "scooped"
the Herald by publishing the excellent
poem, delivered by f. d. Mussey before
the Alumni Association of the college,
the morning after its delivery Aud the
Globe, while commiserating Rutland on
having to endure the Herald, congratu.
lated it on possessing the Globe. The
next morning, however, the Herald insin.
uated to Rutland that when the unfor.
tunate author read his poem as given in
the Globe, he pulled his hair, tore around
generally, wept and refused to be com
forted unless the Herald would print il
as he wrote it. So the Herald kindly
printed it and congratulated its readers
that they could at last have the real thing
uncontamipated by the asinine blunderi
of the Globe. And it also congratulated
Rutland on possessing the Herald, ant
commiserated it on having to endure tn,
Globe. But how the iron must have en-
tered the soul Of the poet as he read thu
botch that the Herald made of his work
If people could think him capable of writ
ing such nonsense as some Of those stanzas
exhibited in the columns of that paper, b,
was indeed disgraced. He must hav,
felt that sorrow is the lot of man, an,
his days Of happiness few, said days be
ing, Of course, the days on which tn
Herald and Globe do not come out. Flo
the Herald made it worse, il possible
. than the Globe. The REGISTER feel
, obliged to come TO the rescue Of th
{ abused poet. We are therefore, yer,
happy to present this week, on our iourt'
. page, the entire poem correctly, as tn
! author wrote it. Those who have forme,
{ an unlavorable opinion of Mr.. Mussey
! genius from reading his poem in th
D GIo5e or Herald should do him justic
,, by reading it once more as given III GU
columns.
