A PRAcTicAL JoKE.--One Of tho richest
Jokes Of the season was practccd on the
Rev. DIR. Peck, the new President Of Dick
inson College--ono which will vie with the
most recherche oi Smo!.elt, and might we'll
sustain itself among the records OF Trinity,
by Charles O'Mallcy. The Doctor, il ap-
pears, was making his frs, ysi, to the
Baltimore Conference, held this year al
Stanton, Va. Meantime, some rcprnba,e
student set himself down, and wrote letter
to the Physician Of the Hospital at tina,
place, giving him description OF some in
dividual who had lei, Carlisle. the sea, of
Dickinson College. in state Of mental de-
rangemcnt; and stating, furthermore. tina, il
was more than probable that the said indi-
vidual had taken himselfto Stanton, inns
much as il WINS sort Of monomania with
him TO regard himself as the President Of
the Institution. aud accordingly he imagined
that he had TO make the customary report
10 the Conference. on the state oi the Col.
lege. This letter was signed in the mime
Of President Peck himself, and requested
the mnna ger 10 take charge Of the lunatc.
II is needless to add, that the description Of
the Insane person coincidcd precisely with
the appearance OF the Rev. Doctor himself
--nnd that il required the reiterated iden-
tificniions of,hc ministers Of the Conference
around to save him from confinement.
