upward.

NORTH WALPOLE.

The schools closed Friday with exercises
in all the rooms and in each room the pro-
grams were well carried out The schools
were very lastly decorated with flags, ferns
and flowers. The exercises in the rooms
taught by Misses Buxton, Hartnett, Keough
and Hennessey commenced at P. M. and in
rooms taught by Misses Stearns and Dalton
at 2 Is. At the close of the exercises in Miss
Stearns' room, Misses Mae Hartnett and

gold bracelet and scarf pin. She thanked

lished during the year.

Letter from Camp Thomas.
Camp George H. Thomas,

ShASnououSo al N, cuuC 1O.
Editor Of the TINES:
The boys, with few exceptions, are all
pretty we'll. There are few on the sick
list but none dangerously ILL., The Yer
mont boys have had the greatest change
Of climate and are standing it the best Of
any regiment on the camp grounds. 1t
has lost only one man, Mr.. Spafford, of
Co. X, Bennington. He was bugler
and seemed to be fine young man. We
are not working very hard yet, as the
officers of the Vermont regiment are level
headed men and know that under the fierce
heat of the southern sun we would not be
in it if we were pushed very hard.
The sun gets up early, about 5 o'clock
every morning, ready for business, and
gets in its work from that time till sunset.
About 100 P. M. the sun is the hottest,
the thermometer reaching between 120 and
100 degrees in the shade with NJ t enough
breeze to stir poplar leaf. The nights
are fine, the air being cool and clear; the
moon and stars are out every night, and
a more perfect evening could not be mag
ined, the only perfect thing in Georgia.
I should enjoy this camp life if we had
plenty of good water and an abundance
Of good food. For the first few weeks we
were here our food was something terrible
hard tack, bacon and coffee was our bill Of
fare three times day, 16 days per week
But now as Brattleboro friends provide
Co. with acceptable luxuries we are liv-
ing much better.
just imagine yourself marching down tc
the mess tent with tin plate, cup, knife
and fork and receiving your ration of hare
tack, bacon, and Coffee something rich
l tell you. This is army life while defend
ing Uncle Sam.
All the Bellows Falls boys here in camp
are we'll and happy and send regards to al
friends. M. j. DODGE,
Co. I, LIST Vermont Regiment.

JAIL FOR STUDENTS.
QUEER PHASE OF LIFE AT HElDEL
BERG UNIVERSITY.

| Some of the Names Which Adorn the
Prison Register and the "Crimes" For
| Which Their Owners Were Incarcerated.
The Rules of the Place.
In England the Students body is conf
mitted to prison only by the civil au-
thority. In Oxford, it is true, the vice
chancellor deals with Undergraduate
naughtiness, principally in the form Of
debt and INSTRUMENTATION, for which he
may impose a momentary penalty, but
he does not deprive the defaulter Of lib.
erty. There is, or was, legend that a
certain apartment under the old Claren-
don building was really the university
"quod," but for its authenticity it is
impossible to vouch.
Cambridge has it's spinning house for
female offenders-not lady students, but
ladies who might prove a delusion and
a snare to the mere male undergrad.
There, if we except the irksome penalty
of "gating" confinement to college or
lodgings after stated hour, our AGA
demic efforts at incarceration may be
Sdlu 10 6dlCl.
In Germany, however, the academic
dungeon is a very stern fact. The Hell
delberg ''carcer" is famous. Every read
er of Mark Twain will recall his enter
tanning description of the place anf
how he contrived to visit it, even unwit-
tingly enlisting as his guide "Herr
Professor. His pretext was to see

and had conveniently arranged the day

If Thursday is not convenient, he tells
the officer sent to hale him to Jail that
he will come ON Friday or Saturday OF
Sunday, as the case may be- The officer
never doubts his word, and it is never
broken.
The prison is up three flights of stairs,
and is approached by "zugang" as
richly decorated with the art work of
convicts as the cell itself. The apart
ment is not roomy, but bigger than an
ordinary prison cell. 1t has an iron
grated window, a small stove, two
wooden chairs, two old oak tables and
a narrow wooden bedstead
The furniture is profusely ornament
ed with carving, the work of languish.
ing captives, who have placed on record
their names, armorial bearings, their
crimes and the dates of their imprison-
ment, together with quaint warnings
and denunciations- Walls and ceilings
are covered with portraits and legends
executed in colored chalk and in SCOT,

a mere spectator, what, one wonders,
had been the sentence of the partiotpa-

Politics Across the River.

1t is rumored that there is to be warm
political canvass in the adjacent portion of
New Hampshire. One issue that is being
talked on the quiet is the dam across the
Connecticut at Brattleboro. An effort will
house and senate who favor the dam. 1t
is limited that this will be one point raised
against returning Hon. I. Nelson Hastings
to the senate, it being considered that he
has committed himself as opposed to the
dam.
1t is also reported that an effort will be
made this fall to have the legislature take
some action toward making the toll bridge
a free bridge.
