The College at Princeton. though not the most
comprehensive in its scheme Of instruction, and
without any regular endowment, is among the

Fire in Portsmouth We had not got quite
cool from the severe searching we had on Satur-
day morning, ~hen we were again alarmed by
the cry Of fire and glare Of ght Illuminating
the Southern horizon, which proved to be house
on fire in Portsmouth. This was between nine
and ten O'clock last night. The Phoenix Fire
Company, with their engine and hose, hurried
down to the wharf, where the steam ferry boat
was 10 readiness to receive them, and were expe.
died in trice to the scene Of conhagration.
The fire broke out in the workshop of Mr.. John
Collins, cabinet maker, in the rear of the large
two story frame house belonging to him, and oc-
cupied by MessIs. jenkins & Cox as dry goods
store, and BY Mr.. jenkins as family residence,
on Crawford street. In a little time the flames
communicated from that to the front building,
aud though ably combatted by the Portsmouth
Resolution Fire Company, communicated to the
adjoining building, occupied BY Tapiey Webb,
Esq. as grocery store, and thence to his hand.
some new dwelling adjoining it, in which last the
fire was subdued by great exertion, after it had
destroyed that and three other valuable buildings,
all Of wood. Mr.. Collins saved very little from
his shop. Mr.. Jenkins and Mr.. Webb saved alt
their goods and furniture. A low pitched, ire
proof warehouse aided the exertions Of the fire.

From me Montreal Gazette.
BELISARIUS.
A ringing sound OF war,
A breath Of woe and fear;
The steady march of mailed hosts
Swell tide like on the ear.
The distant banners float
Inmau gorgeous line;
The dazzling gleam OF warlike spears
Sends back the clear sunshine.
The lovely morning bnur-
The blue, majestic day
The star Illuminated night
Have hailed them on their way!
Colossal trees are rent
As by tempest's wrath;
The noblest things are mark'd Tor death,
That bar their onward path!
Hark to the burst OF war;
The rival armies meet;-
Bright swords are flashing far
Sharp arrows kissing meet
Hark to the burst Of war;
To the wild unearthIy cheers;
To the rush of hostile feet
To the iron clang ofspears!
On flash the Vandal swords,
Against the Roman large:
The Massagets bound
Like leopards to the CHARGE
They faiat-they yield-they flce!-
The vandal reign is o'er!-
dtSstar offame has set
In = midnight sea Of gore!-
Open thine ancient gates
Proud Carthage, open free
Sing ye for freedom won!-
Shout.-shout for victory!
The soldiers seize the spoil
The women fearful shrek!
lis past-the bloody broil-
And thousands cease TO speak.

4 The Executive Committee Of the Conn.
Temperance Society would earnestly in
wife the attention of all the friends Of their
cause to the Goth of February, 1888; the
day assigned BY the American Temper
ance Society for a Simultaneous meeting
Of the friends of temperance and Of Tenn
|perance Societies in every city, town and
village in the United States, to hear Adj
dresses, to form Temperance Societies
where there are none !; TO enlarge. as much
az possible, all that are now formed; 10
disseminate information and to take meas
rures to extend the benign influence Of the
Temperance reformation throughout the
land. The Committee are deeply inn
pressed with the importance Of such a
meeting, and are persuaded that, ifproper-
" observed, il will result in the most hap
py consequences. But for such meeting
there must be preparation. or Il will be lost.
The Committee would urge every society,
therefore, to meet at an early period for
the purpose of awakening the attention Of
their members 10 it, and making arrange
ments for its due observance. No prepare
ton is so good as revival of the cause by
frequent meetings with bold animsted adj
dresses. And the COMMITTEES would adj
