loon keeper, and general desperate,

passed the SPOT where the murder as
commit ed, and compelled F0Xwell to
look at the blood and brains still lying
on the ground. He turned deathly
pale, trembled and became sick at the
stomach. Arriving at Carthage, the
funeral of the murdered man was in
progress, and the people were taking
look at the corpse. he officers took
FoXwell into the church and up to the
coffin. When he looked at the mutt

PASSAGE OF THE SILVER

If it makes silver plenty, we shall
agree to let gold and greenbacks
go. So far from silver being bulky
and unhandy, we shall regard it
more convenient than no money.
Gold has been q commodity and
been banished from general usage
since the war, and greenbacks
have been so scarce as to make
property almost worthless. We
are agreed to take our chances on

be no worse, and we shall be bet

OUR friend Lafierty of the Rich

eye that permits no good oppoItn-
nifty for joke to pass unnoticed.-
Speaking of the Episcopal Evan
gclist, Mr.. Rainsford, he said that
Baptists had gone to meddling
with politics in the matter of the
State debt, and now the Episco,
palians had gone to medcling with
religion. To this we wish to reply
that they were doubtless tempted
into these excesses by seeing the
Funders meddling with the work
of Readjustment.

AWAI FROM HOME.

And They Ought To Be Sent Right Back
The Riotous Young Men of Princeton
College.
New YORK, March IA special to the
Ecening Post from Princeton, N. j., SAYS it
has always of late years been the custom for
the junior class to celebrate their passing of
the final examination in logic with bonfres
and fireworks. The examination took place
yesterday, but the class vetoed the celebra-
ton for fear of creating disturbance. Last
night five juniors exploded fre-crackers on
the grounds and building of the theological
seminary. They were followed by two semi
nary students, and, being overtaken. one was
seized. Before he could be identified the
seminary student was assaulted and his
comrade, coming to his assistance, was knock
ed down several times. This was between
nine and ten o'clock. The students of the
college went to the lower part of the town
and obtaining reinforcements to the number
of eighteen, pushed toward the seminary
building. Here they were met by four semi
nary students, to one of whom they gave q
severe beating, ending by breaking his nose.
Warrants were Immediately sworn out for
the arrest of six of the students, and they
were served at IL o'clock last light, when bail
was given for their appearance this morning,
to answer to three charges, two of assault
and one of setting fire to the old seminary.
One of the offenders has already been dis
missed, but it is probable that the other five
will be bound over to wait the session of the
grand jury in May.
