The following is an extract of letter from
gentleman near Princeton, N. J. 10
his friend at Long Hill, dated Feb. 2slh
1910.
"An Interesting incident occurred near
Princeton some weeks ago. The cold Sa-
turday number of students we're skating
on Scudder's mil-pond one OF them NAM
ed Hone, about l6 years old, fell into the
water, where it was from 10 to 12 feet
deep. In struggling to get out, ne broke
the ice for some distance round, but did
not succe ed, aud became at last so exhaust.
ed and overcome that he could not see.
The students in the mean time, ran back
wards and forwards clamonring, but no
one veniured to the aid of his perishing
friend, --An apprentice boy, however, a
boa, 4 ears old,approoched so near Hone
,ha,hr put o9e end OF stick with which he
had been playing ball ON the ice, into his
haad With the aid of this stick he drew
H.ar upon the ice, and though sensible oi
his own danger, and shedding tears, he per.
sisted Til he drew Hone, Sd far forward
that the end OF his skate caught on tbs edge

The generous bov would not take il &, say

person in the same situation. He offered
him afterwards 20 dollars the bov said
came on, and offered 10 buy the boys time,
but the sensible little fellow said he wished
to learn his trade. Finally, Mr.. Hone,
the father, invested, for the boy, 500 dol.
lars, and the students made him up about
two hundred more. 1t is said the boys

ZPORTAN7G@W TRUE i!

The following information lsays the Bos.
ton Gazette) from London TO gentleman
of this town, is handed us by one, who is
incapable of knowingly abusing the public
confidence for single moment. 1t is un-
queslionably derived from an authentic
source and our readers, We think, may
perfectly rely on its truth;
6 In formal communication fSom Lord
Wellesley to Mr.. Pinkney, the conduct Of
our Executive and proceedings of Congress
subsequent TO the late negotiations, are CEN
sured in the most unequivocal manner.
1t is asserted by the British Cabinet, that
Mr.. Jackson had behaved only as his duty
required /; that the charge against him is
absolutely groundless and that he, as we'll
as his king and country, are treated with
an unprecedented rudcness and grossness
by the U. States.
Lord Wellesley, beginning with the
offer to renew Mr.. Jays treaty, recites
series OF acts, proving the sincere and uni
form desire of G. Britain to meet the U.
States on fair and friendly conditions, all
which have been met with a contrary spirit
by the government of the United States
and, he says, that now it is the belief of the
British cabinet, that every overture at con-
cila,ion, on their part, must be unavailing,
because our government is resolved thar no
adjustment of differences shall be made
and he adds, that although they are dispos-
| ed to receive propositions from US, yet it
cannot be concealed, that none can at pres.
| ent be expected.
Lord Wellesley took this occasion to
| remark, that the British government arc
fully sensible of the great part that is assign
ed them to act in the present eventful peri
cd of the world and to declare, explicitly,
that all the means which God has gracious
ly given them, shall be used so far as is ne
cessary,to resist the establishment of des-
potsm, which would be more terrible than
any yet known in the history Of nations" ="
| That the above should be the sentiments of the
British government toward, us, we by means are
disposed to doubt even after the disposition expressed
| by Lord Wellesley to Mr.. Pinkney. But as this arti-
Gle never burst upon the world until the of the
Massachusetts election, we think it aukwardy squints
| towards yankee fabrcaton.] oAz.
