A Woman Clubbed and Dragged Down Stairs by Three Policemen—Mary Janc Morris: Her Muscle. The day at the Tombs Police Court yesterday wit- nessed no deviation from the general run of petty cases. During the afternoon @ great number of persons applied for warrants for the arrest of vari- ous individuals against whom they had some grudge or anotuer, but without @ single exception their efforts failed to bring forth fruit. About two o'clock @ brace of tough-looking Ama- zons from the Sixth ward came trip- ping gayly in just in the wake of an officer who escorted a muscular negress, whose arrest their united efforts had obtained, on a charge ofslander. From the first it waa plain the case ‘was one similar to that in which the kettle called the pot biack. ° Mrs. Muldoon and Mrs. 0’Flarity, the complainants in the affair, said the “darty black thing” had calied them low Irish and accused them of being drunk. “Now, yer Honor, yez knows we do net dhrink anything, at all, and that we are dacent, respectable women what works all day jor a livin,” ‘The Court—I know nothing of the kind; I never saw you before and I never want to see you again. You are full of drink now. Come here at live o'clock next week. INJURED INNOCENCE. “Now, yer Honor, I want a warrant for Mat Farley, Luo, what bit me here om the arm, she did, the cussed ould canhanibal.- Ab! but didn’t I smash her in the eye, though, before she laid her rg ould teeth on me, and yer Honor, & sure as Patrick drove the shnakes out of dear ould Treiand, I would ha’ knocked the whole, head off her if she had jest left her mouth off me.’ “Now, you had better go eas or I will lock you up; get dat? — she got. A FIGHT IN COURT. Avery decent-looking Irish woman cauced ti arrest of a notorious Fourth ward character know! as Mary Jane poet for assault and battery. Mary Jane was ¢1 up to the rail by an ofice where she remaimed perlectly quiet until the com. lainant had stated her case, when, witha tiger- Ike bound, she rushed over the rail, seized the woman by the hair, and, before the officers could pexess it, dealt her three murderous blows in the ce. Alter this little spurt she was taken down stairs, and no sooner had she disappeared than another burly female from the First ward, who had been brought in ior drunkenness, pitched into an oficer and blacked both his eyes in less than two seconds. THREE VALIANT COrs atonce drew their clubs and went for her, one seizing her by the hair and the other two be aed hold of her arms, and in this manner they dragge ber out of the court room into the hallway nae to the stairs, where the officer whose eyes she ha blackened gave her a good ciubbing over the head, and never once minded her shrieks of “Murder |’! and cries for help. The clubbing oes the ‘three oficers proceeded to drag the woman down _ stairs, ad first, and although there were at least a dozen persons standing uy the wretches who daily dis- Dag the uniiorm they wear cared not for the fact hat her clothes were all turned over her head, and that when they had reached the landing at the foot of the stairs she was insengible. Cases simi- lar to this are of almost daily occurrence, and yet no one does anything to remedy the evil. Indeed, clubbing and Kicking women and dragging them down stairs by the hair of the head seems to be the most congeulal occupation the average policeman ‘could pombiy indulge in. g THE COBB HOMICIDE. Killing His Wife—Verdict Afainst the Prisoner—He Is Committed to the Tombs by Coroner Herrman, Coroner Herrman yesterday morning held an in- quest In the case of Mrs. Margaret Cobb, late of 616 East Ninth street, who is alleged to have been fatally beaten on the evening of the 8d instant, by her husband, Thomas Cobb, as previously reported in the Herarp. Clemens Zeiner, ving in the same house with de- ceased, testified that at intervals during the last two years prisoner had been in tho habit of beating his wife, particularly when intoxicated, On one occasion Cobb chased his wife with a pistol in his hands; witness did not sec the fatal beating, but heard a noise in prisoner's room as if he was assaulting his wife; later saw Cobb holding his wife in his arms; they lived on the third foor and the witness on the floor below, Charlotte Guthiel, living in the same house, heard a loud noise in prisoner’s room, and looking in the door, which was partially open, saw deceased blee ding ey and heard her say, “Tom, Tom, don't beat me any more; Cobb tlien locked the door, and two hours later he called the witness ; she went into the room and saw Cobb pouring water into his wife’s mouth and on her head, to re- leve her; Mrs. Cobb was then dead; a doctor was called and he sald deceased had been dead for an hour. jano Ellis testified that at seven o'clock in the evening of the 8d inst.

Anmouncement of the Senior Appoint- mente-The Greduating Exercises of SheMeld Getentific College—The His- tory, Plan, Progress and Utility of the Selentific College. s New Havey, July 8, 1872, “© Will,” shouts @ revereud senior across the college yard to aclassmate, “what's the programme for Monday?” “Lying abed and having your shirt washed for Tuesday,” comes the highly figurative but essentially correct reply, Everything about the old college is preparing for to-morrow, for the speaking and reading and jollity of class day, Al day long, tn front of the windows of old North Mid- dle and under the gigantic arms of the elms, whose thick canopy cuts off all heat of the sun, has been heard the noise of preparation, Cireles of seats rising im tiers above each other are gradually surrounding the - spot where 72 will smoke the final pipe of Peace and listen to the reading of the class hia- tories. The solemn chapel is disturbed with sound ofhammer and saw, announcing the erection of the stage for elasa orator and poet. And all the grounds and buildings are putting on thelr holiday Attire for the scenes to come. Nothing of interest to the college proper has transpired, except the au- nouncement of SENIOR APPOINTMENTS. The valedictorian is D, J, H. Willcox, Port Rich- mond, N.Y. Salutatorian, G, F, Moore, West Ches- ter, Pa.

Other colleges have been compelled by this demand to endeavor to incorporate into their regular academic course fg scientific branches which ought always to be kept distinct trom aregwar academic course. THE PLAN OF THE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL. In this way several colleges have been involved in a bulky and unwieldy “elective” system, which, by their own confessions, has failed to meet the objects sought. But to Y: ale the honor was reserved of originating and carrying to its only success the plan of two distinct departments, one academic and the other scientific, united as a common university. That such a school and such a plan were needed is shown by the ra- with which the school has. increaged numbers, by the readiness with which the coun- ry has reaponded to its call for funds, and by the Interest which the leading journals have evinced in discussing its ome and prospects, while at the game time the college has continued its quiet and certain development. resent time the school numbers 149 atudents in its various courses, and twenty-nine instructors, ncturere and profes- sors. The large ratio of instructors to scholars is also a feature of the school, which, considering the number of new professorships each year, will oe ermanent. Eacl hman class has been lat han its predecessor—the last one numbered fi five and the present one cannot be less than nixty, and may be as high as eighty. At a special exami- nation last wee! iwentyath hree were admitted, tn- cluding two Japanese, and at the next two ex- aminations it is probable that twice a8 many more will enter. A word as to the ADDITIONS TO THE ENDOWMENTS. Two years ago an effort was made to raise a quarter of a million for the school, and this sum is, now obtained. Anew hall near Sheffleld Hail 1s in course of construction, on plans by Cady, of New York. The estimated cost of the ling 18 $100,000, and when completed will be used for lecture rooms, philosophical chambers and laboratories, The graduating exercises of this school are en- tirely sui generis. h one of the graduating class is required to write a thesis on some subject of his own choosing. The object of this Is not to make a display of tine rhetoric, but to compel each one to exercise his power of independent scientific investigation, these theses being examined and cor- rected like any school exercise. Selections from a few of them are read some evening to the friends of the school, and then all sit down to @ collation. But, perhaps, the most unique part of all is the subjects which are taken for these theses, It 1s a great relief after looking over the com- mencemont programmes of other schools and col- leges, where we have essays on ‘Conservation of Material Forces,” ‘Harmonious pea “Concepts of Deity., &c., to come to somethti tangible as we find on the programme for gra ey tion at this school; for instance, “On the East River Bridge,” “The Larger Fiddler Grab,” “Institutions of the Dutch on the Hudson,” &c. The following programme of Fi ears exer- cises, in 1ull, shows what a comfortable thing can be made of commencement, and 1 doubt not that the thousands who are sweitering through pers school and academy graduations this month wil hail thjs as an example of better times:— J, Prayer hy the President. 2 Report respecting 7" 5, Freak Oscar Maxon, (engineering), Norwich, On pneumatic catsrons. ‘Samuel Trevor Knapp, (solect), New York City.

Washington Glad- den=—The Fashionable Patronage of the Deity—What Shall be the Creed of the Future Church=The Disap- pearance of Denominatt and the Union of All Christlans=Prize Speak. ing. Awmenst, Mass., July 8, 1872. Yesterday was the opening day of the fifty-first anniversary of this college. It was cloudy during the early part of the day, but it cleared up towards noon, and the weather was as fine as any one could desire. At nine o'clock in the morning the me- morial chimes rang out a few tunes of sacred im- port, which sounded unusually sweet in this little country place, As their notes echoed and dled away among the hills, the village church beils, of which there are @ goodly number, caught the spirit of the day, and jingled most heartily. But soon ail ‘was quiet. Few people were stirring about the streets, and there was nothing to indicate to a stranger that the college commencement—by all odds the most important event in the year—was so near at hand, The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was ad- ministered in the morning. Two Sentors and three Freshmen were admitted to the Church by pro- feasion, the last of whom were baptized by the President. Rev. Washington Gladden, of the New York Independent, occupied the pulpit with the President, and assisted in the exercises. At three o'clock the studcuts, to the number of. About two hundred and fifty, assembled in front of the chapel, and then marched in procession to Col- lege Hall, a little distance from the colleges where the public exercises are held, The Seniors took seats infront, which had been reserved for them, and the other classes in order behind them, DISCOURSES OF THE PRESIDENT.

This closed the exercises of yesterday, Ever; train has brought new arrivals to-day, and the at- tendance will doubtless be good. To-day they have given us some of the best speaking, probably, of the wee! MEDDLE WITH THE PRIZE SPEAKING, The morning was designated as the time for the Hyde Prize speaking, a prize of $100, given by Hon. H. D. Hyde, of Boston, class of 1861, for the best Written and anger oration at, graduation. The beauty of this entertainment over most college exercises was its brevity. Only six speakers wore chosen from the class, presenting the following Programme, with a due amount of music sand- in:— witthe “asihetlc—Its Lack and Needin Onr Civil- ization”, Harry 8. Stevens, Chic: 3 “A Restored Paradise the Ideal of Art and Hi tory,” Jobn B.

Adams, Ainherst. We may imagine that these young men were never Pict to it harder than they were to-day in competition for the highest prize the college has to offer, and with anxious friends and relatives to wit- ness ‘and compare their efforts, The Kellogg Prize speaking came off at eight in the evening—a prize of $50 given to each of the two lower classes, for excellence in deciamation. This exercise Is said to call out the dressiest audi- ence of the week. Those who have kids prepare to yer them now. The ushers are unusually atten- ve, THR LADIES UNUSUALLY PRETTY, the bouquets unusually abundant; Of course all the flowers changed hands during the evening; but exactly what any lady means by such attention could never tell—whether a genuine appreciation of the speaking, or an agrecable appreciation of a student’s acquaintance. But be that as it may, the speaking, I am sure, was none the worse ior the presence of the ladies or their bouquets, There were five speakers from each class, and the Freshmen led the ~G. FP.
