A Litchfield County COW strayed away Wednesday, July "A, and could not be found. The next Monday she was discov- cred ln the woods, where she had got a hind foot caught between roots and re. mained fastened for five days.

North Adams .(Mass. Transcript : Andrew J. Mclaughlin. who died on the 23d inst, at the residence of his son, A. G. Mclaughlin, in Williamstown, was born in New York city in 1911, and during his entire life sustained an enviable reputation as man of strictest probity of character. For AZ years, ending with his disease, he was member of Gettys Lodge, I. o. o. F., of New York city. For about the same period he was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and wherever he lived he was working mem- Der of the local church. He was an active whig in politics until his natural transition to the republican party. Heworked assid- uously for the election of Gen. Harrison in 164O, and at the beginning of Harrison s administration declined, as not to his lik- ing, an offered position in the New York custom house. From lS44 to 1849 he served on the New York city municipal po- lice, holding rank as sergeant. In '49 he went to California, returned east in '52, go- ing back the same year and remaining in California until 1864, since which time he had been in poor health. He was all his life zealous advocate of temperance, one of the earliest in the "Washingtonian movement" Since the death of his wife at Ballston Spa, N. Y., 1n April last, his home had been with his son in Williams town. By his first wife, who died in 1842, he had five children, three of whom sur vive, Andrew Gilbert, the we'll known former proprietor of the Eagle street bak- cry in North Adams, now of Williamstown, and James and Henry Clay of Stafford Springs, Ct., the former being editor of The Press of that place and ex-member of fhxaN NNr,r1 oks .s.lz I. ond wife he had three sons, two of whom.

Henry E. Royce, the ex-treasurer of the Willimantic Savings Institute, was re- arrested Thursday on new, complaint, which dates farther back than the one on which he was tried before. A draft for 5000 has appeared, dated October, 1884. This draft the experts say has never been accounted for. Charles E. Searls has talk en the place of J. M. Hall as prosecutor of the ex-treasurer. A short time ago Royce was asked by the bank officials what pay ment he would make to have all complaints withdrawn. He refused to answer. MT.

-Willimantic Journal When the thun- der shower was at it's height Thursday morning between z and o'clock lightning struck A. K. Morse's new house on Lewis
 ton avenue, which had reached a stage of completion with the exception of painting. The bolt entered the ridge near the chim- ney and spreading in two passed down the rafters on opposite sides, splitting them. On the west side itftore off all the plaster. ing in two rooms in the second story. On the east side it plowed furrow in the roof down to the caves, ran along the caves plate raising it several inches, passed down the northeast corner of the house into the parlor, tearing out the corner, thence go- ing off into the ground. Several windows and blinds were destroyed, the latter being wrenched off and deposited on the ground in splintered condition. The house was badly damaged, and more or less plaster ing was knocked off in every room. MT. Morse and his son Wesley were in the house at the time it was struck, being in the par. Tor through which the lightning made its descent, but neither was hurt, though both felt the shock. It was miraculous es. cape. On the house is an insurance oi $1, ,0O0, the policy including lightning clause.

"Should the bar pilots be remov-
ed, the ship master will still pay the
$3.50, that he does now, and will
not have the splendid service afford
ed him that he now enjoys.
To put the matter in n few words,
areduction ofpilotage means depriv-
ing II few men of employment and
giving the well earned stipend
which should be paid them, to Il
corporation.
The agent of the bar pilots makes
affidavit that the manager of the o.
II. Il n. Co., made n proposition to
him stating that 'if the bar pilots
would guarantee the company 40
per cent of their gross earnings they
would see that the laws in regard to
pilotage would not be changed.n II
this be true, when did the O. II. &
N, Co. purchase the Oregon legisla-
ture? The vote upon the pilot bill
will determine perhaps, how many
of the members the company own" "

HOUSE BILL NO. 1O4.

When Governor Pennoyer stated
in his recent message that it was
time that the State University dis
pensed with State aid and content
ed icselt with it's income from les
$1S0,000 endowment fund, and from
tuition; and that 1t s free scholar
ship should be abolished, a hearty
amen broke from the lips of the peo-
pie quite widely throughout the
state. But now comes a courageous
legislator from the classic groves OF
the University and modestlY asks
for what? that the Governors ad-
vice and the audible wish Of the tax
payers be respected? on the contrary
that the tax be increased from QUE
tenth of n mill to one-aeventh, and
that the Literary Department Of the
school be made entirely free.
We mistake the temper ofthe tax
payers ifthey do not promptly form
ulate a bill that will express their
convictions and ask their Legislators
to promptly pass it instead of this
II. b. l04. A few facts will make
this duty clear.
The patrons of higher education
constitute what proportion of the
State? lis impossible to exactly de
termine this, but as only one person
out of every fifteen hundred is n col
lege graduate, the inference is inev-
table that such taXpaying patrons
of higher education are certainly IN
the minority.
Again statistics show that more
than nlne-tenths of the patrons OF
higher education have no personal
interest in the State I University, less
than one-tenth prefer,ing that insti-
tuition. Indeed it is very much
within bounds to say that not one
taxpayer in twenty-five has any
personal interest in the State Uni
versity or receives any benefit from
it, Yet the twenty-Sour are paying
their taxes for the benefit of the ooe,
and this besides paying voluntarily,
in many instances, TO sustain other
institutions which supply a type of
education better suited to their
needs. Is it not time that so very
large a majority should be relieved
from tax for the benefit ofso small
n minority?
But what is the University doing
to justify so much outlay? The last
catalogue gives the following num-
ber of students in the Literary
wrongly given rs Collegiate)
Department; In the four college
classes 2S; in the preparatory course
90; in the English Preparatory 24;
tStal l5l, Let it be noted that of
the 2S in the ollege proper II, or
exactly one-half reside In Eugene;
and of the lbs in the Preparatory
Courses, 5S or nearly ont-half reside

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.

A writer in the Country Gentle
man has hit on the true reason of
the opposition to practical farm
labor in most agricultural colleges
and departments of universities.
He finds it in a letter of some profes.
sor of agriculture lately published,
denouncing the practical farm work
done at such institutions and calling
for suppression of the work and
confinement to theory 1t lets out
the secret by saying that nearly
every student will know far more
about the manual operations of
farming than any Of the professors I! !
Yes indeed Then turn out such ig-
norant professors and put in those
who do know about farming
practically, whereverIt is necessary.
The idea Of running an agricultural
college without one professor being
practically acquainted with farming
is on par with many other college
humbugs. For ages the learned
col leges have been going on wasting
precious years of youth in learning
Greek and Latin grammar, when
one year of combined reading and
grammar would effect more than
five of the old way. So too will the
agricultural schools fall into imbecil-
ity if not watched.
