He commandcd them to stop, but as they did not do so, he fired upon them, killing six, wounding scveral others, an I takina fortv or fiftv prisoners.

The subject of unitingthotwo Collcges in west-ern Vermont has of late been a topic of convcr-sation among the fricnds of collegiate education in this state and elscwhero. This is by no means a newidca; os far back as 1819 tbe respective Corporations appointed Committees to considcr and report upon the practicability of such union That attempt was not saccessful. Ve undcrstand that gcntlemenof high standing in otherStatcs and many fricnds of soundleaming in Vermont, have, during tbcpast year, exprcsscd an eamest wish that anothcr attempt should bc made to attain nn objcct which to them secms so dcsirable. To mect what appeared to bc a public dcmand, the Corporations of the two Collegcs at their recent annual mcctings appointed Committees again to consider this qnestion. Thosc committees we hear, have rcccntly held a prclim- lnary session, but havcas to no dcflnite result.
