1t is said that gold has been found
near the Great Falls, Fairfax county,
on tract of land belonging to John
Trammel or A. NJ. Nelson, to whom
the first grants were made by the first
Governor of Virginia, for the purpose
of digging gold at that time. The land
is in other hands now.
In Washington yesterday Mr.. G.
Hatley Norton, recently appointed
receiver for the Fidelity Building and
Loan Association, both in that city and
Virginia, filed his bond for the of
flee with the clerk of courts of the Dis
trict in the sum of $4,000. The Fidel'
ity and Deposit Company, of Maryland
is his surety.
A Washington paper reports that 6
white man named Whitehead, from
this city, was shot near Bladensburg
yesterday by colored man with whom
he was cunning in a boat. The men

A JUVENILE ADvENTURE.-The To-
lice were yesterday notified to keep a
lookout for a youth named Palmer
Burdick, who ran away from his home
in Washington on Wednesday. Off
Ger Beach found the boy in this city
and notified his people, some of whom
came here and took him in charge.
The youth told weird story of his
adventures since he left home, which
was to the effect that he had been
stolen by gypsies, placed in a closely
covered wagon and driven out of Wash
ington into Virginia; that after being
in confinement about two hours he cut
through the canvas of the wagon and
made his escape. After wandering
around for sometime he struck the
Virginia Midland Railway track and
followed it until he reached this city,
where he was taken in charge by the
nOlica

BADLY BEATEN.-A young man
named Michael McMadus, an employee
at the Driving Park, was brutally beat
en- near The intersection Of Fairfax and
Princess streets, about one o'clock this
morning by several Alexandrians whom
be had met while seeking adventures
in that locality. Officers Hayes and
McCuen happened to be close by at the
time and rushing in TO what seemed to
be q general fight arrested six men.
Three of the party failed to appear at
the trial this morning and each
forfeited s. collateral, another was
dismissed and the others fined So
each. 1t was almost impossible to as
certain who started the row. One fact
was established, however, and that was
that McMadus was struck by some one
without any proyocation, knocked
down and kicked numerically, so
much so that when Capt. Webster
came to the assistance of the officers
he was unable to stand. During the
melee soda water bottle was thrown
by some one which passed in close
proximity to the head of one of the OIL
GERS. Lieut. Smith to-day found a
knife with which McMadus had been
cut on the hand during the assault.

G. Mason, OF Chicago, was one year
before. I visited his home during
vacation and he visited mine, and I
knew all bis family.
sour acquaintance was sudden and
purely accidental. I arrived at New
Haven one day In the fall OF 1858
and went to the old New Haven
House. That evening I wandered
into the reading room and found
there slender, pale.faced boy, who
looked as lonesome and homesick as
! felt. After few moments Of shy.
ing around, as boys do, We exchanged
greetings and got into conversation.
1t soon developed that We came from
adjoining counties, hut from differ.
emit States, he from Chester County,
Pennsylvania, and I from Delaware.
just across the line. and we found
that we had some mutual acquaint-
ances. That was q geographical tie,
at least, and as neither Of Us knew a
soul In New Haven we chung to each
other and soon became fast friends.
After We passed our examination we
went out together to hunt board
ing place, and finally settled down as
room mates.
HE was always known as Frank In
college, and was registered In the
catalogue as franklin Mac Veagh,

college. Then, too, there is the nat
ural resentment of q democracy
against classifying men according to
their money which seems most
odious OF all In the case Of an cduca.
tiOnal institution.
The boy Is not to be severely con-
demned who decides against going to
q college where poverty makes him
conspicuous and he fancies Injuries
his standing among his fellows. II
any Of our colleges come to 10 dis.
tinctively rich mems colleges they
will cease to draw the element which
In tho past has done most to make
their list of alumni honorable and
distinguished.
We have spoken only Of Yale ia
this article, simply because the facts
make that institution just now con.
spicious in this respect and because
its success in the athletic field of late
years lave made 1t 50 prominent
throughout the country but the
tendencies which we have in mind
are by no means confined to Yale
There are other of our larger colleges
where the same evil challenges ut.
tentiOn.
