The New York Independent, the week
after the Saratoga Regatta, expressed soms
surprise that the University OF Vermont did
not send a crew to that notable contest. The
last number Of the Independent contains the
following note from President Buckham or
the subject, which, as the Independent re-
marks, " does not lack clearness -
"Io the Edltcr Of the Independent
You ask why the University of Vermont
was not represented at the Saratoga regatta.

Death from . Broom Handle.

The following story Of singular acci'
dent is from a Kentucky paper: zone q
the saddest deaths we have ever been call.
ed upon to record for long time occurred
in Frankfort last week, when Mr.. Victor
Waggsner, eldest son of our esteemed iel-
low-citizen, Mr.. William II. Waggener,
departed this life in all the pride and
glory Of youthful promise-the sudden and
painful accident, which happened about
halfpast six o'clock on last Friday even.
ing. At that hour lie had gone out In the
rear of hi, fathers residence, on Hain
street, near the corner of Washingtcn, to
hold, as was his frequent custom, con.
versation with young friend and play
mate, the son Of the Rev. DR.. Hiner, who
resides on the adjoining lot. For this
purpose he had mounted piece Of brick
work, next to the wall, about four and a
half feet high, from the top Of which
he could see and converse with
his young friend over the dividing
wall. At the close of the conversation, 1t
being then quito dark, he returned to 60
back into the house, and spraug down from
the piece Of masonry on which he had
been standing, and, in doing ss, received
his death wound. Leaning against the
brickwork there vas the sharp-polnted
handle Of an old broom, point upwards,
which, owing to the darkness, he did not
see. bat which caught in his c:sthes be-
tween his legs, and he went down to the
ground, with his whole weight upon the
point, causing it to penetrate his body to
the depth Of six or eight inches, indictirg
a fearful wound, and, at the same time,
causing the most intolerable pain. The
family physician, DR.. Rodman, was i'm
mediately summoned, and everything done
that human skill or tenderness could do to
save the life and mitigate the pain of the
youthful sufferer. But it was seen from
The first that the wound was mortal and
The result was as above stated. Through

ortitude rare in one SO young.

In THE report Of the Grand Jury yes
terday to the Court of General Sessions
there were many valuable suggestion:
made. One, in particular, which treats O.
the crowded condition of the Jail, and q
remedy therefor, is especially deserving Of
mature thought. The jail is more crowded
than it has ever been before, there being
largely Overcome Hundred prisoners confined
there for various offenses. This imposes
upon the county large expense, and en-
tails with it no small amount of trouble.
The Grand Jury suggests, as remedy for
this, that the committing magistrates deal
more summarily with cases themselves,
and take final action in cases Of a trifine
character that they now commit. There
is no doubt much truth in this, and the
committing magistrates would save them
selves considerable trouble, and the County
expense, it they would profit by the sug-
gestion.

WILMINGTON, NOVEMBER "a, 1875

To the amussment-loving portion Of oul
community there was presented last weel
q variety Of theatrical amusements such -
has never before been brought to their no
tice. The first was the Italian opera, and
really an excellent troupe. The audience
that greeted it was really discredit to a
place the size Of Wilmington. The Gesr.
gia ninstrels, which was as good minstrel
entertainment as we have ever had, was
saluted with only a fair-sized audience, and
the audience on Saturday night to witness
the society play of "Our Boys" was wha.
might be termed miserable in numbers.
If the people expect the management Of
the Opera House to present first-class COM
panies and plays, they must extend him
more liberal encouragement than they
have done thus far this season.

what Dream Induced Man to Do

\ remarkable story is given as concern
ing well-known Troy family. Twenty.
five years ago. Nicholas Schillins, til.
present keeper Of the Court House. came tc
this country from Germany, with his
brother John, and hi, sister. Their pa.
rents were poor but respectable and
Industrious people, but they left behind a
grandmother possessed of large and
rapidly increasing estate. The Schillings
worked hard in the new world, and strug.
gle'- for time to live, finally receiving
profitable employment and the comforts Of
a respectable, though toilsome life.
\ year ago last May, John Schilling
had a remarkable dream, to the effect that
his wealthy grandmother had died and left
aportion to him and his brother and sister,
out Of which they had been defrauded by
relatives in Germany.
The dream impressed him so strongly
that he could not shake it of, and as it
was his constant thought by day and his
worry BY night, he finally decided to 90 to
Germany and settle the matter. He pru-
IDENTIFY wrote to an Official at his former
place OF residence and nadeinquiries con-
cerning his relatives. The letter was
handed to one Of Schillins's uncles residing
in the place, and he replied in letter to
him that his grandfather was dead. The
epi.tle was received on Saturday. It's
intelligence confirmed his wild dream to an
extent, and onthe following Monday morn
ing, having made hurried preparations, he
sailed for the fatherland.

kidnev Complaint.

Probably there is no complaint that anlcts the
human system which is so little understood at the
present time, as some of the varied forms Of Kid
ney Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute pain
more alarming in its results than when the kid
neys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid,
and other poisonous substances, which the blood
accumulates in its circulation through the system
If from an y cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devolving upon them, the cunulations
are taken up by the absorbents and the whole sys-
TEN thrown into a state OF disease, causing great
pain and suffering, and very often imme late death.
Hence the Importance of keeping the kidneys and
blood in healthy condition, through which all the
impurities Of the body must pass.
