ORGANIZATION OF SIa FRANCIS HEAD.-Sr Fran
CHS embarked yesterday in the Cambridge for Liver
pool, England He was accompanied to the wharf
by MIR. Buchanan, the British Consul, and several
other friends. Whatever "bubblcs" Sir Francis may
have committed in the closing scenes, as Governor
OF Upper Canada, he has almost made amends for by
his manly department here. We have already alluded
to an official dinner gwen by the British Consul last
Saturday. On that occasion toasts were drank at
all-the courteous host informing his guests that ne
meant to monopoze all toast drinking, and therefore
offered
"England and the United Stssss-l'erp tuity to
their triendship."
This was drank with grea, appsuse. About ten
o'clock Lord Gosford retired, in oru to meet bril-
liant party of Boston and Baltimore beutes whom
we shall describe tomorrow az the Astor House.
The hest happened also to withdraw himself for
b-iefspace During this interval Sir Francis Head
took the opportunity to explain to the guests both
British and Amercan--of the latter were his Honor,
the Mayor Of New York, (who had been seated on
the right of Lord Gosford) Capt. Perry, of the Navy,
and other conference.-the position in which he stood
in Upper Canada, and that no man was more ready
10 do justice to worth and talent than he was; "and"
continued Sir Francis "T give you for toast, gen.
tlemen--
"The Health of Major General Scott"
This was drank with three times three, r the midst
Of the most uproaroas enthusiasm. Sir Francis also
proposed
The Health of Chancellor Kent-a gentleman
who is equal honor to the country of his birth and
to human nature whlcrhis purity and talents adorn"
Sir Francis leaves New York with better feelings
than he entered it, If he had only remained a week
longer weshoud have made democrat Of him to a
certainty, all but the heart and the loyalty of that
portion of the man could not be converted by the
most accurate calculation in less than month, par
ticularly, when lovely young girl, with fine love
tresses, and beautiful bust-God bless tits the
Qneen. Who would not be menarchst in presence
Of the rusting pesicoat Of pretty woman. My Geds
would. / must go to England and see this little
girl crowned-Mas Van Buren,, won't you?

PRINCETON, March 20, 1899.
DEAR BENNETT,-Altheugh constant reader of
your valuable paper yet never before have been so
much interested amused, by the true and gra--
phc account Of this place. given by your correspon
dent Anxious. Too long had Princeton remained an.
noticed by the only journal which by its unlimited
crculation could give notoriety 10 any place. II
unfortunate that your correspondent left early
An event happened soon after, which threw the
whole town into state Of excitement, and which
has not yet sbated.
You know that in the institaton at this place
there are quite a lumber Of young bloeds from the
south. They sent here principally for the purpose
of keeping them out Of mischief and of Spending mo-
ney in the most convenient way-the latter of which
they do TO admiration. On the day your correspon-
dent left, one of those "pinks of chivalry" thought
himself insulted al the table by Jerseyman He
left the room ''brim fall of WRATH" and with ven
geance in his eye told his adversary to prepare for
cowhlding The Jerseyman, net the least discompo-
sed, continued his sacrifices al the shrine Of the belly
god until nature cried enough. He had left the room
him, bearing club, (not unlike that used by the
Giant Despair" in the Pilgrims Progress of Bun.
YAM and demanded an apology I" &c to hill with
your apoogy replied the sturdy Jerseynan. AT this
the southerner aimed blow at the head OF his oppo-
nent, which the latter avoided by climbing him.
Then commenced the struggle. '.Dirk HIM" cried
one "Trip his damn soul out" cried another; "Har-
rah for the SOUTH" echoed tho crowd. Northern
men were there, but their courage lied nchern their
mouths or legs i.l i.s.agls Hs r.
After the struggle had continued few minutes,
and the Jeyseynan was obviously gaining the adyan-
tage, the Southron drew dagger and stabbed his OPP
ponent in the back. This put an end to the conflict
Then wero heard curses loud and deep. One jumped
up the steps and cried out eud enough TO be heard
by the crowd that every man who carried dirk
with the intention OF using IL against his fellow stu
dents, was coward, and he would maintain il" He
wanted none TO back him. One poor fellow, who 10
considered rather deficient in the upper story for
a general Sight between the Nonh and South; but as
he is rather be piled than feared, nouce Ia
ken Of him.
But I am getting in advance or my story.
Upon the declaration Of the Young Northener from
the steps, fellow, with legs similar 10 rams horns,
stepped up 10 him, and asked if he alluded to him in
what be had said The former repeated his remark I;
upon which the latter drew dirk and attempted TO
strike him, but "he hao got the wrong SOW by the
ear" They beth rolled down the steps, and at the
same time the dagger was taken away. When they
arose, the whs had drawn the dagger refused TO
continue the contest on equal terms but left the
ground doubtless recollecnsg the old maxin-
That he who hghE nsd runsawsy,
May live 70 FIGHT another d.y- -,
