Hundreds of graduates of Prince.
ton College in all parts OF the country,
says Harper's Weekly, we're sorry to
learn of the death ofDr. John Maclean,
ex-president of that institution. His
familiar figure, with long black cloak,
and high hat on the back of his head,
will be missed from the streets OF
Princeton, where for more than 80
years it appeared almost daily, and
at the annual commandments, where
it was cheered longer and more loudly
than any other. While dlscharging
the active duties of his Office, the doc
tor-or "Johnnie" as the boys used
afsctionately to call him-was in the
habit of proving about the campus
with dark lantern, whenever any
disorder was brewing, and he in
variably softened his football by wear
ing pair of 'gunl Shoes Thou
sands of times, previous to 1868, did
the campus resound atnight with yells
OF "John" s'John!" that served either
to warn mischiefmakerso fhis proxim-
ity Or to draw the old gentleman from
his house for the fun Of seeing him in
the chase. When he succeeded in cap
turing an offender, his practice was to
grab him around the body with his
right arm, and then turn the dark
lantern upon his face. Thenext morn
ing the culprit was invited to appear
before the faculty. The favorite
amusement in those days was to have
a 4'horn spree" 1t consisted OF blow
ing enormous tin horns, removing
gates from fences, making bonfres,
serenading the more obnoxious of the
professors or tutors, and having a
sort of Buffalo Bill s. Wild West time
generally. When DR.. McCosh became
president, he intrusted the duty Of
preserving order at night to a new Of
fcer, called the proctor.

had no one to reply. Their candidate,
you know, is silent man, and no
one had the boldness to answer the
grave charges made by Major Henry
against the Republican party in gene
raj and that Of the Ninth district in
particular. Our candidate is well up
on the political topics Of the day, and
particularly familiar with the history
Of the opposition. He conclusiyely
showed that the Republicans are at
heart the enemies Of the Blair bill, and
that all their gush upon that subject is
mere deceit aud without meaning. The

At the September term of the County
Court, held last week, Cornelius Gary
(colored) was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for q year for stealing a valise
from one of our railroad depo.s. The
circumstances of the case are peculiar
and somewhat extenuating. 1t appears
that the real value Of the contents of
the valise would not exceed $50, the
stealing of which would not have been
a penitentiary offence; the owner,
however, had made out a bill against
the railroad company for ISL and some
cents as the value of his outfit, which
was paid him, and he left for parts
unknown before the thief was captured.
The thief was, Of course, tried for
stealing the amount which the loser
swore was the value of his goods, aud
was given the lowest sentence allo we'd
by law for grand larceny.
At the same term Of the court o
constable of the county was sentenced
to fifteen days in Jail for stealing & COW.
Our town still maintains its reputa-
ton as an educational centre. We have
four high schools-viz., Suffolk Female
Institute, Nansemond Seminary, Mill

All the above schools have commenced

there will soon be several private
schools in operation, besides the public
school, which will be reopened in Oc-
tober.
