been IN session several hours, discussing the

with it's labors the same as though it had full
possession. Amoug the resolutions adopted
was one annulling the action of the old board
in ordering the lady managers of the retreat
for the sick to vacate the intirmary building
cannected wlh the college, Nov. next. A
committee was appointed to examine and in
spect the grounds, buildings and all the other
property of the college, and make full inven-
tory thereof. Another committee was appoint
ed to inquire into and report upon plan for
the reorganization of the college in all its de-
partments. A resolution was adopted request
ing the Governor to instruct the second auditor
to refuse to pay out to the present faculty, or
any of the old beard of visitors, any of the
State treasury to the credit of the college until

A Yale senior in Trouble.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 1.-The case of Albert e.
Smith, Yale senior arrested Wednesday for
obtaining money under false pretences, gave
rise to meeting of the three lower classes on
Thursday 1t was found he had obtained $65
from the Juniors, $103 from the Sophomores,
and $13O from the Freshmen. 1t is known
that one member of '86 paid him $50, which
was not included in the above. and undoubted-
ly he has received other smaller sums. AT the
meetings e. L. Lindsey, ESQ. appeared for
Smith and offered to refund the money, and
the offer was accepted by some, but many re-
fused to settle the case and offered to appear
at the trial as witnesses. Undoubtedly the
whole amount which Smith has received will
fall not far short of 5000 His examination
was set for to-day. but has been adjourned un-
til next week.
