win mention, however, that during the
pa,,se each man had his mighty arm up
held by an obliging friend, ana the one
who had received the cut had glass OF
vine administered to him TO keep up bis
courage. / say administered, because the
process Of imbibing liquid with ones
neck wound around with yard or two OF
tiff quilting so that the head is allowed
only a slight rotary motion, could scarcely
be called drinking. Well, of they went
again-whiz, clash! whist rap!-until
another cut was given, this time by the
marty first wounded, but, this proving
very slight. the duel was Immediately re-
sumed. The next telling scroke took ef-
feet on the top Of the mans head who
had received the first cut, and as the
whizzing blade passed with fierce sweep
through his hair we saw tuft fly up like
feathers from a fighiing-cock. This cash
was al once pronounced serious, and
therefore the duel was at an end. The
victor was then led forward to shake hands
with the opponent whom he had partially
scalped. and as he turned away was sur
rounded by his friends and warmly con
graduated ON his success, while the other
c0mbatant was led off To have his head
seWed up. :, :.
The students are very proud of their
scars, and nothing gives one OF them more
ioy than to be able to show face uav-
ersed with several huge marks OF this
kind betokening what champion ne mas
been In his day. OF course II was great
misfortune TO get slash on the top OF
ones head. for the party receiving it SUI
fered the disgrace of being vanquished,
and had nothing to show for il but little
scratch on the temple. II is customary to
have all the duels accommodating Tor u
week or two to take place upon one occa-
sion, 80 as to avoid the trouble OF having
to 90 out 50 often; and on the afternoon
in question two others came of, both OF
which were of very brief duration, as the
parties were Unmatched as regards skill,
and the weaker opponent was soon carved
up handsomely In each case. Such are
the famous students duels as they occur

Robert Dale Owen.
his RESTORATION TO SANITY.
TCincinnati Commercial


INDIANAPOLIS Oct. 4-Ths Journal of to-
morrow will contain a note from DIR. Evans,
Superintendent of the Indiana Hospital for
the Insane, in which he announces the resto-
ration of Robert Dale Owen, who, he says,
will in few days return to his home in New
Harmony, where, under advice, he will con-
inue for time to rest from labor. The Doc
tor adds that he sees no reason why Mr.. Owen
may not, in short time, resume his work
with all the vigor and ability incident to his
age and habits Of life.
The note is accompanied by a long letter
from Owen to Dr. Evarts, in which he alludes
to the circumstances of his seclusion by his
children, who, he believes, acted for the best,
juding their action by the Napoleonic test of
success. He finds that he has entirely gotten
rid of his dyspeptic symptoms; that his
health has been essentially improved and
his mind greatly tranquilized, and, there
fore, does not regret what has been done.
He admits that a man placed in his circum-
stances can not be a competent judge of his
own past condition, yet it seems to him that
his only ailment was exhaustion of the brain
and nervous force, until what he had regard
ed as arbitrary restraint tended to irritation.
He admits that he has inherited tendency to
overhopefulness, and that this tendency
showed itself especially after his severe i'll
ness at Dansville. He thinks the repose of
the past three months has been greatly bene-
fetal to him, and speaks in feeling terms of
the kind words spoken Of him by the press in
his affection. He closes his letter with warm
ackno judgements of the kindness and con-
sideration shown him by DR.. Evarts.

THE PEMBROKE MURDER.

CoNcoRD, N. H, Oct. 8.-The excitement
over the Pembroke murder case has been re-
vived to-day. At an early hour Josiah Car
penter, of Pittsfeld, went to Suncook and in
formed Officer Hildreth of some facts, which,
if true, will have an important bearing on the
case.
He reports that Miss Lake, who taught
school three years since at Pembroke board
ing at Langmade's, and who has since cor.
responded with the deceased, arrived at her
home in Chichester the day following the
murder, and when informed of it, at once
exclaimed, "Bill Drew did It'll" giving as the
reason that Jessie Langmade told her Drew
had several times grossly insulted her, and
threatened that if she told her father he
would kill and cut her into inch pieces.
Drew still protests his innocence, and does
not exhibit the least anxiety or nervousness at
his position. A pair of stockings were found
to-day near the scene of the murder, evident
ly worn and cast aside, though it may add
something to the case. 1t is also said Drew
had carried about his person sharp dirk
knife for years, and it is not to be found
now

COlOred Children'S Rights.

case has occurred in Brooklyn in which 6
negro child was sent by his parents to 9
school for white children, though an equally
good school, especially established for colored
children, was much nearer their residence.
The Board Of Eaucation objected to the pres
ence of the child, and the parents made an
appeal to the Courts. Judge Gilbert, of the
Supreme Court, has decided that the local
authorities are in the right, and that the
plaintiff has failed to show that his son could
not be as well educated in the school set
apart for 'colored children as in the one to
which he desired him sent. This decision is
in accordance with common sense If there
were no privileges of education allowed to
the children of negroes, or if their privileges
were not equal to those of the whites, then
there would be cause of complaint AS it is,
every negro has the same opportunity for ed
ucation as the white children.-N. 7. Com.

NEW YORK NOTES.

New YORK, Oct. 8.-There was a run on
the Germans Savings Bank, corner of Fifty
fifth street and Third Avenue, to-day. The
president says the bank is sound and that the
run was caused solely by the collapse of the
Third Avenue Savings Bank.
Henry Rex, the Waterman who shot and
killed John McKenna, aged IL years, was
convicted of murder in the second degree, to-
day, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.
NEW YORK, Ost S.-Judge Donohue today
granted an order sanctioning the conclusion
reached by the English stock and bond hold
ers of the Erie Railway sent over to confer
with Receiver Jewell These conclusions are,
that the bondholders whose interest is in Or
rears should have voice in the expenditure
of the net earnings, and that the foreign stock
and bond holders should have some repre-
sentation in the Board of Directors, and that
the receivership should be terminated as soon
as possible. The Court authorized the re-
ceiver to take such measures upon this busis
as he deems advisable.

adjourned to-day. The resolutions condemn
ing President Grants appointments in Geor-
gia were referred to the next political conven-
ton. The resolution declaring in favor of

was no foundation for the insurrectionary re-
ports; that they were gotten up by the Bour-
bon Democracy for political effect, and that
the colored people of the State have no idea Of
insurrecting The address also states the ne
groes are not given their rights; that the Ku-
Klux are rampant in Georgia; colored men
are not allowed to sit on juries, and do not re-
ceive the protection Of the courts.
