HANOVER, April, 2s.-The "Parker student
riotcase" bids fair to be settled. The referees
finally agreed upon, Messrs Cragin, Durant
and Pattee of Lebanon, have accepted the
appointment, and the hearing began before
them yesterday.
The town acknowledged its liabilities for
damages to Mr.. Parker on account of the mob,
but this arbitration settles the amount, which
with costs will be paid by the students, and the
case probably withdraw from the court, where
a suit is pending against them.
The Dartmouth which contained in its
last issue the reasonable article upon the ag-
ricultural department, suspended publication
with its issue of this wees, the editors saying
in their valedictory that the faculty have con-
troll of its columns and they, (the editors) are
unwilling to be cramped in their expressions
by dictation, especially where honest criticism
is needed and fair discussion is given. The
suspension is only the action of the present
senior class, aud the Dartmouth will undoubt-
eddy be revived at the opening of the next COL
lege year.

THE INDIANS.
Situation at Red CIoud AGENCY.

OMAHA, April pa telegram from the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies, via Fort Lar
annie yesterday evening, states that no supplies
worth mentioning have been issued to the In
dams since the 10th inst. The Indians are on
the verge of starvation owing to the failure of
Congress to vote an appropriation and on the
part of the governme nt's failing to forward the
supplies needed. The Indians would undoubt-
eddy have left on raid ere this but for the
moral effect of the late expedition against
Crazy Horses band. There can be no question
but that they will be forced to a raid unless
supplies are promptly furnished. Gen. Crook
is urging the necessity of keeping up the sup
plies and holding to the agencies the aIndians
disposed to be friendly, but he is apprehensve
that the hostile Indians will be greatly REIN
forced from those now at the agencies, on ac-
count of lack of supplies. No official inform
alton is received of any further raids

Of Completion. st. Johnsbury Caledonian
says: "As the facts have already got into the
city papers, it is no breach of confidence to say
that the managers of the Vermont Division of
the 2. & Q. R. R., are endeavoring to obtain
authority to get preference mortgage of $780,
600 put below the present bonded debt of 49,
100000 to its Ogdensburg and Mon treal con-
nections. OF tie whole distance of III miles,
only IS miles are incomplete, and, if the means
are obtained at once this portion CO be finish
ed and the road opened by August The pros
poets are now very encouraging, more than
two-thirds of the necessary proportion of the
present bonded interest having agreed to the
the arrangement, which is evidently the best
thing that can be done for all parties. When
carried cut it will give road III miles long
with bonded debt of $2,800,000, or $2,S333S
to the mile.
1t has also transpired that the arrangement
to consolidate the entire line lin Maine, New
Hampshire and VermoDt has failed, aud the
Vermont Division remains independent of the
Eastern Division, the same as lit always has
BEEN, If the arrangement to consolidate had
been carried out, perhaps the road in Vermont
might have been completed earlier, but in the
end Vermont would not prove as well off as
under the present arrangement, as the control
of the entire line would have been put in the
hands of Portland"
