Dartmouth college opens with rather fewer
scholars than usual. The new plan Of ad-
mission upon certificates has had something
to do with it, though the plan seems to be
working well otherwise. President Smith
says the decrease of the income devoted To
scholarships has kept away about 20 poor
students. The freshman class, however,
opens with about 20 in the academical, 20
in the scientific, 10 in the agricultural, and
4 in the civil engineering departments.
Among the new students is man 30, who
has for several years been clergyman.

Turco-Servian War.

The following, from a special correspond
ent of the Telegraph at Belgrade, is apropos
Fresh arrivals of Russian re-nforcements
continue to reach as, and to pass on to the
front. Fifty Russian officers came in one
night, and forty others with thirty Cossacks,
the next day. This contingent certainly in-
cludes some officers of the Cars Imperial
Guard and l learn on good authority that
l44 of their comrades have leave Of absence
for Servia. Already there are more than
1900 Russians at the front, mostly officers
The presence Of these auxilaries has come
pletely changed the situation. The Russians
officers themselves declare that they have
saved Servia. 1t is stated that they drive
the Servians to battle when necessary, as no.
toriously it often is, with pistol and sabre,
shoot down the laggards remorselessly.
The editor of the semi.official newspaper,
Istok, has received numerous letters from
the permanent committee of Skuptschina,
the municipalities of Belgrade and provin-
cial towns, and from mercantile corporations,
thanking him far advocating a continuance
Of the war.
A battle was fought near Aexinatz, Fri.
day, which proved terrible defeat for the
Servians, whose hold on the town is now very
precariouS, and all the civil population has
left Alexinatz, the great rush being toward
Deligrad, where Gen. Tchernayef is. The
battle lasted eleven and half hours, and
the slaughter was terrible, while several viii
lagos near the town were burned. The con-
fict took place on ground of the Serviaus'
own choosing, their position having been
regarded as the strongest held by their
army.

At last the election is over. The tre-
mendous efforts made by both parties culmi-
mated at the polls last Tuesday. 1t was
asked Of Vermont to show in her state cleo
ton which way the under current of the
public feeling Of the people in
regard to politics and party, was set
ting. An increased majority was to show
that the people were in favor of retaining
the republican party in power. A decreased
majority was to show that the people were
in favor of changing the administration and
putting the democratic party in power.
Well, neither party can claim a Uery de-
cidcd result in their favor though Fairbanks is
elected by an increased majority over that
OF 1872, on much larger vote. The re-
publican majority will probably be from
10000 to $4,000. The republicans claim
large gains in the vote for town representa-
tives. On the whole we think that the re-
suit goes to show that the people still have
confidence in the republican party, and its
continuance in power for another four years
at least. The democrats claim the major
ity will not be over $4,000. Splits in
the county tickets were as thick flies in fly
time. Elsewhere VIC give the returns as
far as received.

A MOUSE CAPTURED By A SPIDER.-A few
days ago gentleman in the west part of
the city discovered a mouse in a corner of
his cellar, and noticed that i was struggling
to escape from some restraint. Examina-
ton showed that one of the hind legs Of the
little animal was held quite firmly by several
fibers Of a SPIDERS web attached to piece
of hose suspended above. This leg was
drs"n up from the bottom OF the cellar, aud
with the other three legs the animal was
scratching to free himself. The spider-not
a very large one-was busy multiplying the
fastenings and making everything more Sc
cure The gentleman took precautions to
leave the animal and insect undisturbed, and
watched the progress of this curious exhibit
ton Of engineering. The next day, the spi.
der had extended its web to the other legs
of the mouse, which was alive, but much
weakened, possibly from the bite of the in.
sect. Finally the mouse died. The engin-
eering progressed until the spider had act
ually raised the mouse nearly an inch from
the cellar bottom, and was resting from its
labors and commencing feast upon the
captured rodent. On Saturday, during the
absence Of the gentleman from home, some
accident beiell the works Of the little eugin-
eer, and the sustaining webs we're broken

This illustration and experience were un.

TIE Treasury DEcAPITAroNs.-The leg.
islative, executive and Judicial appropria.
ton bill provides for the discharge on the
10th of October, of between seven and eight
hundred department clerks. A Washington
dispatch says circular has already been is.
sued to the treasury department informing
the clerks who receive it that if they will re-.
sign before the reductions are made they will
be given two months leave with pay. Few
if any designations have been received. The
dismissals in the treasury department will DC
made this week and next, those who are re-
lieved being allowed to draw their pay until
October 10. The fear and uncertainty which
now exists among several thousand clerks,
each Of whom does not know but he or she
may be one of the unfortunate ones, is very
great. 1t will bring great hardship upon
many deserving and almost helpless persons
and families who will hardly know where to
to turn for means of support.
