There was no little excitement ana
much talk occasioned at Richmond COL
lege the early part OF last week by per-
sonai difficulty that occurred between
Mr.. j. NJ. Hartman and Mr.. J. d. GWath-
mey, two ministerial students OF the col
lege Professor Boatwright had the two
future d.ylnes up before him. and an ami
cable adjustment Of the matter was
made, and now Messrs Hartman ana
Gwathmey are again friends.
As a result of the difficulty between the
two students, a trio OF college attaches
are brought prominently forward. Ihey
are Professor John Pollard, Ar. J. y.
McAdams. a student, and small dog OF
uncertain pedigree.
Professor Pollard fills the Chair Of ing
lish. and conscientiously performs that
duty. lie limits his endeavOrs, however
TO specimens OF humanity SO Wneh the
aforesaid canine appeared IN his lecture
room last week, dressed up. in such
gaudy costume as might become
Mountcbank and against his viii, applied
for a course Of instruction in English.
Professor Pollard called q halt, and put
his foot down on dOggie's ambition IN
such a manner as to cause that animal 10
experience the sensation or an acronaut
when his balloon cOllapscs and his para
chute VIII not work.
t. i. o,uI IuC WISDOM.
Professor Pollard's lecturc-room is on
the second door. and, without further par
uculars. Will say that the dog was
catapaultei through tho window. and
landed in a confused and unsettled state
on the brick pavement below. Some
claim that the dogs dip was fractured
and that q was spirited away by the
college officials. while Professor Boat

was not injured. and that he had gwen

jantors OF the college and that he was
caring for f. Harris confirmed Professor
Boatwrights statement as 10 the dog
bong uninjurcd, but he was very 10th 10
discuss IT'S whereabouts All he would
say IN answer 10 my questions as TO
where was the dog. ooh. ! have sent It
away" Several Of the students with
whom ! convcrsed told me that the dog
was unable 10 walk after IL was thrown
from the window, and that one Of its
hips was fractured. They SAID the dog
had disappeared. and they did not know
what had become Of IL.
| lAcs J, the CAS-.
: The facts in the case are as follows.
Some Of the fun-loving students secured
! submit TO such variegatei array OF dog
apparel as 10 make 80 very com.cal OBJ
jet. Ii is said the outfit was OF the most
ultra style The boys then proceeded 10
! initiate the dog into the mysteries and
I uncertainties OF a college course OF study.
/ Latin under Professor Mitchell was the
! first task. The dog modestly retired
/ under a chair. and ineeEiy adjusted all
existing differences between itself and
the ratio recto" by quietly keeping out
/ Of sight of Professor Mitchell The ca

! Professor Pollari's sanctum Ii was sew
eral times quietly elected by the Pro
/ fessor. but the boys were bent on the
/ dog securing an insight into the grace Oh
/ Poe, the terseness of Macauly and the
! sarcasm of NOitaire Professor Pollard
/ grew weary of the cannes presence
! Young gentlemen" De said, "our lecture
! Is of more value than that dogs further
/ earthly existence" lie then ordered Mr.
/ Gwathmey 10 throw the dog out of the
/ window. The future divine lifted
"Towser' dt is presumed that was the
/ dog $ nance by the nape Of the neck. and
practically illustrated the attraction Of
gravity TO him by throwing HIM ont OF
J the window. Then the lecture was quietly
resumed.
THIN TIE TROUBLE.
| Afterwards, however, Mr. McAdams
! told Mr.. Gwathmey in anything but COM
/ phmentary language what he thought OF
/ his action. MIR. Gwathmcy started for
! Mr. McAdams. when Mr. Hartman in-
! teriered. and several blows were passed
! between them Mr.. Gwathmty rs much
/ larger man than Mr.. McAdams. and hence
Mr. Hartman's interference When the
/ trio was called up before Professor Boat

/ Gwatnmey for the language ne had used
Thus the matter was settled but at
| presents the students are asking. Where
