in the course Of which they not only
refresh their minds as we'll as bodies

We perceive that the managers Of the
Pennsylvania Lyceum in Philadelphia,
have made arrangements for an ex-
cursion Of this kind into Northampton
and Schuylki!! counties. They have
appointed a committee, to be accom-

Newark, n. J. has lost one Of his
hands, or nearly so by the bursting|
of a pistol. The whole palm we I'M
derstand was entirely shot away, lea
wing the bones and tendons bare.
We hear of another whose face was
distressingly disfgured from a similar
Dai. Ado.
A clergyman, who had a consider
