BRowN UNIVERSITY. The citizens of
this part of the State view with sincere
regret, and such we think should be the
feelings of every Rhodelslandcr, the
tendency of those efforts now making,
which are, whatever may be the object,
well calculated to bring into dsreputc
this ancient and venerable Institution.
The justly distinguished character and
qualifications of the President and Pro-
lcssors, peculiarly fit them to sustain with
honor to themselves and usefulness to
society, this or any other college. 1t
will be very difficult indeed to induce
the people in this quarter of the State,
whatever may be accomplished else
where, to believe that Brown University
is not conducted i'm a manner, all things
considered, the best calculated to pro-
mote the highest possible interest of the
young gentlemen committed to its charge.
We have read with great pleasure the
recent Report of the President made to
the Corporation, in which is detailed at
length every thing connected with the
mode of instruction, and the government
adopted in the College; we are therefore
compelled to disbelievc the charges we
have seen made in dcrogation of the re-
spcctability and power to be useful, which
we are confident the President and Fac
ulty Of this College possess to an cmi-
nnent degree.

LOST cuIfh FouNn.


The last New Jersey State Gazette con-
tains the subioined affecting narrative of
u child feight years old being lost in the
marshes where he remained undiscovered
and without tasting food, for six days and
nights lie had wandered from his
school fellows at noon, into small wood
in quest of wild plums. Not returning
horAc in the evening, his parents were a
larmcd, the ncighborhood was reused,
and the most dligent search was made
and repeated for five days without sue
cess. The account continues:
"Siy nights had now elaspcd and the
afflicted parents retired from the pursuit
to shed; tears of bitterness; their sorrow
heightened by the dreadful uncertainty
that hung over the object of their aflec-
tions. On Monday morning the 3Oth of
August, two persons in the ncighbor-
hood having occasion to be up before
day, again heard what they supposed to
bet the laintcr ola child asifinpain. The
intelligence was quickly spread through
several neighborhoods and upwards of
one hundred and fifty persons from all
quarters turned out to make fnal effort.
After searching the swamps at the head
ofthe mill pond, some Of the party heard
allow moaning proceeding from some tall
white grass, end a signal being given
they surrounded the spot. When one of
the persons percciving a place where
something had entered. Forcing his way
through the grass and briars which were
quite as high as aman's head and where
the water and mud were above his knees,
he discovered, to his joyful surprise, the
little sufferer alive; but lying with his
lower cXtremties in the water; his
head and shoulders being supportcdby the
white grass which he had pressed down
for bed
lie was Immediately conveyed with
every demonstration of heartfelt JOY to
Imlaystown. On being striped, he pre-
sented spectacle, the recollection of
which must bring tears into the eyes OF
all who behcld him, cmaciatcd until the
bones nearly projected through the skin.
But cnough-my heart blccds at the
remcmbrance.-lt appears that being
bcwidcrcd, he wandered into the place
where he was found, passed first and
each subsequent night in the same spot,
not having eaten single morsci for sir
daps and nights.
The bed the little creature had made for
himself, was within six feet Of the main
creek and few turns would have carried
him into watery grave. There is now
good reason to believe that he will final
y recover.
