INDUSTRIAL FEATURE

OF the College is quite a success. The
actual necessary expenses per annum will
not exceed $1,000. This year there were
twenty five boys who averaged each fifty
six dollars by his labor, thereby reducing
his expenses to less than twenty dollars.
A large number aided themselves materi-
ally by their labor, and it is conspicuous
fact that those boys who work most make
the highest record in the College classes.
All are taught to respect labor as honor
able and dignifed.

THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS

of the College. All are presided over by
able professors who are earnest in their
efforts to promote the welfare of the labor
ing classes of the State. Everything at
the College wears an air Of prosperity, and
one cannot fail to note the unanimity with
which the Faculty and students labor. No
doubt is in the minds OF any one as to the
success of the Institution, but all refer to ii
as an established success. This is indeed
the school for farmers boys. Under the
efficient and economical administration OF
the able President, Gen. Lee, man speci-
ally designed by nature, education and
experience, for his responsible trust, it has
been made one OF the best and the cheapest
school in the United States. By the earnest
efforts of the Trustees, President and
Faculty, the College has taken high rank
in the affections of all classes in the State,
and it is rapidly becoming the mecca Of
our agricultural classes, to which they
will ere long make their annual pilgrim

Death Amid Rags and Jewels.

London Cable: An cratic million
afro named Keith has been found dead
in his mansion at Caterham, near Lon
don. He died alone of apoplexy. He
had lived a life Of solitary wretchedness
for twenty years. His wife, to whom he
was dcvotedly attached, and whom he
surrounded with every Rurchasable lux
ury, died in 1864. After her burial
Mr.. Keith never left his mansion. and
every thing IN the house was suffered to
go to decay. He. never admitted
visitors, and cooked his own food, which
was procured for him by trusty
servant who lived in ne,ghboring cot
tage. He slept on a pile of rags and
sacklng on the floor of a room oppo-
site an open wardrobe. in which wera
hung his wife's wedding dress, several
ball dresses, and many rith jewels which
she had formerly worn. The house was
furnished sumptuously, but there was
six inches of dust over the handsome
furniture. and the house was indescrib-
ably filthy.

Intelligence has been received at the British
war department that Gen. Stewards force is en-
trenched south of Metemneh. The dispatch also

Wolseley in his dispatch reports the capture
of Metemneh by the British. He also says
that Sir Charles Wilson has gone to Khar-
toum on board steamer to confer with Cor
don. The point where the battle of the 10Th
occurred is in the desert about five miles south
from Metemneh. When Gen. Stewart reached
that point he found the enemy hoy
ering about his little army on all sides,
and skirting it often within an uncom-
fortably short range. The rebels had evil
IDENTIFY stationed themselves in the vicinity to
await his arrival and give him battle Among
the first killed were Mr.. Cameron, special
correspondent Of the London Standard, and
Mr. Herberts, special correspondent of the
London Post Gen Stewart was one of the
very first to be wounded. He was shot in the

A terrible tale Of nuhny and murder is re-
corded on the book of the brigantine Natal
which is lying in the Atlantic basin, Brook
lyn. When two months out, while the cap
tain was asleep one night, the carpenter
attacked him with broadax, laying open
his face. The captain wardod off second
blow. and the carpenter stabbed with a
sheath knife in the neck. Tho mate
hearing tho struggle, ran in. and the
captain, with his aid, drove ont the
carpenter and barricaded the cabin doc T.,
just as tho steward was coming to reinf orce
the carpenter. The mut1neers retreated INTO
the forehold, where they were imprisoned, as
was supposed, by the battering down of the
forehatches. Next day search was made for
tie captains son. His cap with broadaxe
cut in it was found on deck. He had been rnur-
dered and his body thrown into the sea by the
mutineers. The three men worked the brigan-
tine for four days. The captain then lessened
the fore hatch aud called On the mutineers to
come mp and surrender. They threw their
sheath knives on deck, but nuttered that the
pistols had been lost below. The captain had
20 leg irons or handouts with which to Sc
cure them. He believed they lied, and he shot
the carpenter and steward dead, and threw
their dodles overheard The others agreed to
obey orders after that
