SUPPORTS THE YOUNG MEN.

Tho Naillersvillo Normal School Trouble.
Clearfield Republican,.
We have received a pamphlet of 80 pages
containing full history of the Millersville
normal school trouble, in which the ag-
grieved students, seventy-one in number,
justly vindicate themselves from the mis-.
representations of the faculty and the
press. 1t is evident from the written testi-
mony produced in this pamphlet that the
students had cause for pursuing the course
they did, and that tho principal and fac
ulty went beyond the bounds of reason in
their attempt to suppress the trouble in
the outstart. The proceedings throughout
show that their actions were based
upon selfish and arbitrary idea, instead
of a liberal principle. Hence their sue
cessive explanations seem to be character
lied by the most convicting contradictions,
rendering their side of the question weak,
and giving the " insubordinates =" every
opportunity for convincing an Intelligent
public of the fact that their side was de-
serving at least of a hearing. The case is
one of some magnitude, involving some
important principles of order, and estab-
fishing precedent heretofore unknown
in the history of the normal schools of the
state. It is apparent from the facts in the
case that students and faculty,
under the vigorous pressure of excite
ment acted very imprudently. The
students allege in their explana
ton of the case, that Prof. Brooks and
faculty were not satisfied with their peace
able withdrawal from the school, but sub
sequently expelled them for one year, and
have, in addition to this, been endeavor-
ing to keep them from gaining admittance
to other schools in the state, and from
getting employment as teachers in the
public schools. The "boys" produce un-
deniable evidence to STOW that they have
been pursued in this vindictiye manner by
the MilIersville authorities since the trouble
in June last. Their statements alone are

Grief. INSANITY and Death

A family has become insane in Dubuque
county. Iowa, through grief and death.
Mary McMahoD, the daughter of a farmer,
entered convent two weeks ago and be-
came insane. She was sent to the asylum
at Independence for treatment. Her mother
visited her and also became insane. The
daughter died last Monday, which so af-
fected the mother that she died. The re-
mains of both mother and daughter were
sent home for burial. Arriving at Farley,
near which place the NIcMahons live, a son
and daughter at home became insane at
the sight of their mother and sister com
ing home dead, and the father is now
stricken with grief bordering upon in
sanity.

"Whcn We Were Boys" IN Lancaster.
The following matter of local interest
appears in a recent issue Of James +. Dow

of San Juan. the field of the cloth of gold
and silver -
"The Ruby Hill New .Mning Ne,cs

What "The Times" Thinks.
PHILADELPHIA Times. Ind.

The Democrats of Lancaster concluded
yesterday, as true partlsans, to make a
hopeless fight against Judge Livingston.
The county convention nominated for
judge ore of the three Democratic men,
bers Of the bar who declined to sign a call
upon Judge Livingston. Probably neither
of the other two would have accepted the
nomination under any circumstances short
of a guaranty of election. It is pretty
hard to get sense into some political con
ventions, and the conventions ofLancaster
arc not an exception, apparently. Nothing
is to be gained that it is creditable to fight
form this opposition to Judge Livingston,
and on election day the people of Lancas-
ter will see Democratic laymen voting for
Yundt because they are more concerned
for partisan politics than for the judiciary,
while the Democratic members of the bar
will, with three exceptions, vote for Liv-
lngston because they are more concerned
for the judiciary than for partisan poll
tics

Sheep Killed Dy Dogs.

Some days ago dogs entered the sheep
fold of II. G. Martin, near MOuntville, and
killed twenty-five sheep and lambs, out
of flock of sixty, besides badly wound
ing several others. 1t is not known whose
dogs did the bloody work, but it is believed
they belonged to farmers living in the
neighbOohOod.' Mr.. Martin and some Of
his friends have kept watch over the flock
for several nights in hopes Of being able to
kill the dogs, but their owners seem to
have kept their dogs tied up since the late
slaughter.
