between two stucents OF Georgetown College, -.
@, which 10 altogether false, as no such occur
resce ever took place. That rumor TO that Z heot

was the following iudicrous circumstance. A.

with friend, he as noticed by some one on the

College OF Georgetown, and having with HIM
mahogany flute case, which was thought To be q

alteration had taken place, and that the W ound
he had received was the rfitct ot the dnel. This
