STUDENTS SUPPREssED.-The students OF
Michigan University were suppressed by
the police ON Tuesday night. About hVe
hundred young men congregated in front
Of the post-offce at Ann Arbor and made
such disturbance that the police arrested
the leader. The students closed IN around
the officers and attempted to res
cue him. The sheriff ordered the mob to
dispense, and five students were ar
rested. The police were reinforced by seve-
raj members OF a militia company and a
large body OF citizens, and were enabled
to hold their own. The students finally re-
treated to the University-grounds.
