A COLLEGE JoKE.-A short tim
since large and heavy box was recaiv-
ed at Brunswick by railroad, from Au-
gusta, directed to President Woods, of
Bowdoin College. The latter rejoicing
in the anticipation Of a large and splen-
did donation OF the fruits of the mid
night oil to the alcovcs of his already
beautiful college library, caused the box
to be opened, when there was disclosed
the chapel bell of Watcrvillc College,
with polite note to Professor Woods
from the quasi faculty Of Waterville,
stating that, highly approving of the
system Of international exchanges pro
jected by Mons. Vattemare, they thought
the scheme might be productive Of gen
ial results if brought into exercise be-
tween sister colleges; and acting upon
this suggestion, they had sent their
chapel bell, which they hoped President
Woods would accept as token Of their
regard, and in return, trusted he would
send them the chapel bell Of Bowdoiu.
The joke was decidedly to heavy to take
and the box was headed mp with its con
tents, TO be returned to Waterville. But

transportation, the Bowdoin boys, as i:
easily supposed, spirited it away, aut

A THRILLING INCIpENT.-Thc first
settlers in Maine, found, besides its red
faced owners, other and abundant
sources Of annoyance and danger.
The incident which I am about to re-
lsts, occurred in the early history of
Biddeford:
A man who then lived on the farm
now occupied by Hr. H, was one
autumn engaged in telling trees at some
distance from his house. His little son,
eight years old, was in the habit, when
his mother was very busy with house
hold cares, of running out into the fields
and woods around the house, and often
going where the father was at work.
One day, after the frost had robbed the
trees Of their foliage, the father left his
work sooner than usual, and started for
home. Just at the edge Of the forest
he saw a curious pile of leaves-without
stopping to think what had made it, he
cautiously removed the leaves, when
what was his astonishment to find his
own darling boy laying there sount
asleep. twas but the work of mo
ment to take up the little sleeper, pu
in his stead log, carefully replace tn
leaves and conceal himself among tn
nearest bushes, there to watch til
result.
After waiting short time he heard ,
VOLTS distant howl, quickly followed by
another and another, till the wood,
seemed alive with the fearful sounds.
The howls came nearer and nearer
and 10 few minutes large gaunt say.
age looking wolf leapcd into the open
ing, closely followed by the whole pack
The leader sprang upon the heap o
leaves and in an instant scattered then
in every direction. Soon as he saw tn,
deception, his look of ferceness ant
confidence changed to that of the mos
abject fear. He shrunk back, cowerc,
to the ground, and passively waited hi
-. fate for the rest enraged by the sup
posed cheat, fell upon him, tore him t
pieces and devoured him on the spot.
When they had finished their com
rado, they wheeled around, plunged int
the forest and disappeared within fv'
minutes from their first appearance no
wolf was in sight. The excited father
pressed his child to his bosom ant
thanked the kind Providence which Lee
him there to save his dear boy.
The boy, after playing till he wa
weary, had laid down and fallen asleep
and in that situation the wolf had foun'
him and covered him with leaves unit
he could bring his comrades 70 the feast
but himself furnished the repast.-bm
