FINE DOlNGS Ar PRINCETON.

Reports are IN town of strange doings a
mons the young men " Nassau Hail. 1t
Is sid, that they re,oilcd in body, and
held con',ntion in one Of the rooms of
the college, aud that one Of the Professors
who went in 10 eXpostulatc with them, Was
pat under guard for DOT pulling oil his bat
THAT being mark of respect with which,.
the eony, ntion would not dispense.
Worse than this, it is said that a body Of
militia viio were called out to queIl the
insurgents, were taken prisoners by these
rebelhoIs youths, who, having pat the foe
hors du combat, marched Into the Hall
wItli drums beating. flies playing, and CO
lers flying. Finally, it is said, that about
seventy young men have been dismissed
from the college.
VIZ should like to know if there is any
truth IN these reports. The Trenton Fe-
der,llst, received this morning, contains
no notice of any disturbance at the great
Alma Mater of New Jersey.

A DEMONSTRATORS NATURAL HISTORY.

There IS travelling in England, and exit
biting in cage, dog, cat mouse, and spar
row. They I've together like brothers and sisters.
These four animals sleep in the same bed, and eat
at the same dish the dog, indeed, serves himself
first, but docs not forget the cat who has the com
,aisance to give the certain It'd bits to his
TASTE and leave the sparrow the crumbs OF bread,
which the others do not envy him. The dog lcks
the cat, the cat combs the dog, the mouse plays
with the cats paw, and the sparrow 1uters high
and low, pecking sometimes one, and sometimes
another This man, with his cage, may be very
properly designated by the appeAtion given him
at the head OF this article. He proves that the dog
and cat not beligerents by instinct, but by pre-
JUDGE and practice. But, again, he proves, that
if these animals by nature bellgerents, thea an
tipathes may be removed by making them better
acquainted with each other What an ocean Of
blood-how many millions Of lives-how many fair
Cities might be saved to the world, every century,
by the worlds taking lesson from this philoso-
pier, shutting its bellgerent inhabitants up III a
cage TIL they became better acquainted with one
another. We are enemies only because we are
strangers

AFFECTING RECOGNITION.

A few years ago, in working to cstah-
lish a munication between two shafts
Of mine at Fahkin, the capital Of Della
carlia, the body of miner was discover
ed in a state Of perfect preservation, and
impregnated with vitrioic water. 1t was
quite soft, but hardened on being expos
Cd to the air. NJ one could identify the
body; it was merely remembered that the
accident by which he bad been buried IN
the bosom of the earth, bad taken place
above City years ago. All inquiries about
The name Of the sufferer had already ceas-
ed, hen decrepit old woman, support
ed on crutches, slowly advanced towards
the corpse, and knew it 10 be that Of
young man to whom she had been promis
ed in marriage more than half a century
ago. She threw herself On the corpse,
which had all the appearance Of bronze
statue, bathed it with her tears, and faint
ed with JOY at having once more bcheld
the oh ect Of her affections. It is easier
10 conceive than trace the singular con
trast afforded by that couple; the one bu-
ried fifty years ago, still retaining the APP
pearance ofyouth; while the other, weigh
cd down by age, cyinced all thc feryor OF
Youthful ]ore.
