Tho arrangements were carefully made, and
well carried out. The presiding officers
smoothed the path, and ADDED elements of good
feeling to the occasion. The music, contributed
by the Wesleyan College ladies', made very
pleasant feature. Prof. Reynolds made = very
satisfactory Pedagogue, his deneanor being cour-
teous and considerate as well as precise. The
plan Of having Attorneys, while it prolongeI
the contest, and had some tendency to disputa-
tious delay, was in the main good. 1t insured
prompt appeal on doubtful points, and made it
the less likely for errors OF any sort to slip
through. The Umpires made an excellent Court

simple accommodations swallows, bluebirds,

After Many Years.

The failure thus far to discover any trace Of
the stolen Ross child has led to general feel-
ing that the boy is desd.b but numerous instances
are recorded Of lost Or stolen children who have
been found long after all hope had been sban-
doned. Judge ]. J. Wright, formerly of 1ndi-
ana, but now of Washington city, gives the Star
of that city two instances Of the kind:
One was the case OF boy named Brown, who
had been sent out by his mother in settlement
in Northern Indiana, in 1884, to tell his father
to come to dinner. The man came home but had
not seen the boy. The country was secured In
search OF him, and the camps Of several Indian
tribes were searched in vain. Thirty years after
tho .sboy" was found in Cheyenne camp. with
an Indian wife and children, and was thoroughly
nomadic in his inclinatons as the reddest Of
the tribe, to which he returned after once visit
ing his birthplace. He had been stolen by I
stray Indian, and was sold and resold until ht
settled down finally with the Cheyennes
The other is that of Quaker girl, namet

The Georgetown journal printed at the scene
of the murder, prints the following in relation to
the capture OF John Andrew, the colored wife
murderer
On Wednesday night Rufus Warren, saw, as
eccK, Rlfl tfe z1Bfnr srifhmdhetr n tosse and
made search, but did not find him. George
White, negro who lives in this place. states
that about o'clock, Thursday morning, Andrew
came to his house and begged for Bread which
George gave him after somo delay. On Thurs
dav morning search Was made, and he was found
in the loft of the negro meeting house:
Andrew says that he saw his wife fall, and that
he ran for the church, and climed to the
loft-whero he had been until arrested--that
he heard his wiios funeral preached. Such
an occurrence perhaps never took place be-
| fore-that a murderer hides IN church, and
there secrcted, hears the funeral OF his victim.
After he was arrested he was carried before
Squire Adams--who stated to him the charge
against him Of shooting his wife, and SAID

you can make it, but you are not bound to
state anything that will crmnate yourself, un-

Grea, Corporations and Coal.
From the Springfield Republican,


The Philadelphia Press, in discussing the coal
lays the blame ON the great combi-
nation OF corporations which now manages the
whole coal productions. Thirty years ago, it
saws, when coal WAS taken to market by horse
carriage and the labor Was, perhaps, one-half
cheaper than now, and when prices were regu-
lated by the natural competition Of many inde-
pendent mines, the trade worked much more
heslthfully, there was less tuctuation in prices,
and less embarrassment to other departments
OF business by long strikes ; A conviction Of
truth will lead the State before long to take
active measures to restore the coal production
TO its normal freedom. We already sec the dis
position to do this in the legislative investiga-
lion now going on into the identity OF the Read
ing Railroad and the Philadelphia Coal and
Iron Company. THIS identity is notorious, and
il it can be firmly established, may worl
railroad. The State is able, il it chooses t.
make the combination 80 embarrassing 10 it
members that they will have to drop it.
