TswS AND GowN.-The students of Columbia Col

ing," which is any thing but agreeable to the quiet
and respectable inhabitants Of Park Place and which
has OF late frequently interrupted the pous medita-
tons Of Col w. l. Stone while endeavoring to bring
facts in support of animal magnetism from the Apoc

the first book Of Samuel. THIS attempt to introduce
the lawless pastimes Of Oxford Edinburgh, Glasgow
and Jena will not do in this community, and as the
Recorder very justly observes, be put stop to.
Some of the juvenile end most unruly members Of
the Philoexian society of Columbia College on FIJI

youth Of that club, who were engaged in learned dis

REVOLUTION AMONG THE PENoBsco


BANGOR (ME) Sept. Sd 1898.
This has been an important day with
this tribe, and one which will long be re-
membered by them. The people have to-
dav taken the power into their own hands
and in manner worthy the people of the
old world have declared that they ''will not
any longer have this man to rule over
them" 1t appears that the tribe have for
several years been much dissatisfied with
their old Gov. Atean and Lieut. Gov Nep-
tune, on account ofther drunkenness and
ialasciyious conduct, and have been loud in
sztheir complaints and in their demands for
their removal. By the usages Of the tribe
The Offices are held for life, and the present
jncumbents have already been in power
about % years. A year or two since the
disaffected members of the tribe gave pub
lie notice of their intention to select new
rulers, and at appointed time proceeded to
choose them. AS, however, the election
was made without the assent of the neigh
boring tribes, it was avoided and has new
er been regarded as valid by either party.
The difficulty, however, has not been per-
mitted to rest. AT the last triennial meet
inc of "the captains and chiefs in Cocna-
WduTBe" dSSeuIDieu, we WHOiC HidttSt was

island of the Penobscots, and been bnsilJ
engaged in inquiring into the causes OF tht
classification among the people. The re-
suit Of their inquiries and deliberations ha
been the ordering of a new election and
consequent dethronlng Of the old Governor
and Lieutenant Governor. This day hav
.pg been fixed upon for the election, th'
tribe met at an early hour, and by yer,

rupted leisure, and the renewed vgor of his
faculties. He nuaided the calm hours of
evening from the>in'rusions of tiivolty, and
secured Them for his own noble purposes.
He gathered up he broken fragments of
time, which every day scattered around
him, and made them more productive OF
knowledge to his mind, than the entire day

given to study, OF rather. such days were

moment Of his time WAS wasted upon self

Of any kind. Narcotic fumes never mingled
with the atmosphere which he chose TO
breathe Idle comp9nions, and Iounglng
resorts, had no aliurements for him. As
for dissipation and yite, they fled from his
presence. His perfect simplicity and tenn
perance in all things, demanded no sacrl-
flee of time for his personal wants or graft
ficaions. His habits Of life were formed
with view to the economy Of time, as well
as the promotion Of hea tli and intellectual
Yigor Avoiding fashionable and general
society, he enjoyei thai free intercourse OF
friends aud relatives, which Is the appro-
pirate sphere Of our social duties, and
which re freshed his spirits. while it graft
fled his al; ctions The discharge OF his So
cial dutins, n'erminglcd with exercise, was
always to him Il source of en!ivoning and
delightful recreation. The precious honrs
which he thus gained. were multiplied by
bis Intense application and diligence.
Whatever engaged his attention, to that he
gave his whole soul, and with an ardor and
steadiaslness which overcame all difficult
ties. or turned them into advantages.
Such was the manner, aad such were the
means, bv wlrich young Bowdltch was cfa-
hied to find time for the prodigious labors
of mind and pen and for the wonderful &C
QUESTIONS which he made in science and
learning. Such was the magic, by which
he converted his slpchandlery store into
college, aud cave himself an education,
worthy Of the honorable diploma, which q
few years after, was conferred upon him by
our most d stingui>hed University; an act
Of discrina'ing 's'ice, which afforded him,
at the time, as much delight as surprise,
aud which now effects still greater honor

spices which were used in emhaming lem

For Medical purposes. In most Of the

chants at Cairo, and from thence it is sent

most excellent drug to cure inward bruises.
