Naro,o EScapc-Fantasticals, &c.
This afternoon nearly the whole of the immense
portico. in front Of DR.. Jones hotel, fell to the
ground There were number Of ladies promenading
upon it at the time, and an immense crowd beneath
but strange to tell, only five or six were hurt and
they only slightly. The fall was announced by tho
cracking of timber and most of those near made
their escape, though many on the top were precip-
tated to the ground. The excitement at first was
most intense as it was reported that many persons
were buried beneath the ruins.
NJ hile am writing, the streets enlivened by
troop OF students on horseback, rejoicing in the
above title, and painted and dressed in the most
outlandish manner. They visit the houses of the
professors and other citizens of Princeton and salute
them with cheers. They have captain, several
clowns, &c. Closing the procession is a wagon,
driven by two fantasies. and bearing an enormous
eallows, from which is suspended by the neck, II
champagne bottle. Thus would they indicate their
approval Of the Maine liquor law. This ridiculous
procession is time-honored custom-but otherwise
net very much honored or creditable to the literary
exercises of the day which it closes. 1t was how
ever, in good taste, and many Of the dresses most
capital. Great preparations are being made for the
students ball. to be given this evening in Mercer
Hall. Whatever else may be said of tins, it is GER
tain that from all parts Of the Union there will be
apty and grace tripping there Tonight through
the ma2es or the merry dance.
