Rumors Of disturbances at New Windsor
College have been in circulation for ten days
or two weeks past. Exaggerated reports
have been going the rounds, but the facts, as
we learn, are that difference between Prof
A. NJ. Jelly and Prof. Bentz, in regard to
the latters children, was also taken up by
some dozen or more students who came to the
college with Prof. Benlz, and other students
Of the institution, who sided with Prof Jelly.
On Friday night of last week, the Bentz fac.
ton had celebration in the chapel, and
Prof Jelly and his sympathizers accepted an
invitation to socable at the New Windsor
Hotel. Whilst the sociable was in progress,
some one cut the harness on Prof. Jelys
horse, which was hitchod in front of the hotel,
and the superstition is that some of the Bentz
students did it. For the apprehension and
conviction Of the perpetrators Of the act, the
corporation Of New Windsor has offered a
reward of 800.
No compromise was effected between Profs.
Jelly and Bentz, and the latter, with about
dozen students left the college yesterday.
Prof. Bentz is from Lockhaven, Pa, and the
students who accompanied him we're from
the same neighborhood. The college, after
experiencing one Of the turmoils so common
TO Princeton, Yale and Harvard, is again
going along sereney, with an attendance Of
fifty or sixty students.
