n@- A disturbance has taken place
among the students of Dartmouth Col
lege. Tho circumstances are told as
follows
Several Sophomores, not having the
fear Of the consequences before their
eyes, painted the seats of the Fresh
mans recitation room. The Freshman
retaliated by greasing the seats of the
Sophs. The last broke into a Fresh.
mans room, and shaved off his hail
close to his head. They regarded him
as leader in the grease movement, but
he was not. OF course the mischiev-
Gus Sophomores were called up before
the college authorities, and at the last
account twenty of them were likely to
be expelled. Such scenes were former
ly common at Dartmouth, and other COL
leges but for number of years they
have been rare.

~ Washington Irving recently

~ Washington Irving recently
made a visit to ex-President Van Bu-
rem, at Lindenwall, where he spent q
few days very pleasantly with the friend
of his early years, and amid scenes hal
lowed by the "reminiscences OF by.gone
days. The mansion of the ex-President
was once owned and occupied by the
late Judge William P. Van Ness, in
whose family Mr.. Irving was private
tutor, and here he penned the first Of
those popular works, which have ac-
quired for him an undying fame and
shed a lustre on his country. More
than half a century has elapsed since he
passed the threshold of the venerable
which he has just revisited
to enter upon the brilliant literary ca.
reer which has made his name illustri
Gus and shines more brightly in the sun
set of his existence.

DS- The schooner SHOOTING Star =

DS- The schooner Shooting Star Of
this port was taken upon a marine rail-
way, last week, for the purpose of dis.
covering leak in her bottom. Upon
examination, place about one foot in
length and eight inches in width was
discovered to be worn nearly to the thin
ness of wafer. On taking off the
plank, two pebble stones, each little
larger than hens egg, were found,
and their constant rolling, caused by the
motion Of the vessel, had worn the
plank, which was upwards of two inches
thick, nearly through. 1t is supposed
they were dropped inside tho ceiling
while the vessel was building, and there
remained. Had the vessel gone to sea
again without discovering this leak, she
might have suddenly filled and no cause
could have been assigned for it.-Glou-

OLD AND YoUNo Folks CoNcERr
There was large and enthusiastic
audience, at the fremont Temple on
Tuesday evening, at the concert Of
American music of the 18th century,
Deacon N. d. Gould, who led was re-
ceived with hearty applause. Tho pro-
gramme included twenty-six tunes from
the most celebrated com posers of that
early day, which elicitod an encore -
They wero Lenox, invitation, and Maj
esty. A duet 10 which the veteran
leader took part was also repeated by
general request. The audience rose
and united 10 singing Coronation at
the close of the concert.
Between the parts the venerable Dr..
Lyman Beecher came forward and made
ashort and very appropriate address,
He was electrified , by the sound Of
the glorious old tunes he learned seven.
ty years ago, and spoke with q depth of
feeling and power that thrilled the whole
assembly in regard to the character of
church music, and the effect the noble
old tunes, in use three generations since,
produced in quickening the religious
emotions. The whole performances Of
tho evening we're of the most pleasing
character. From the glow which pre-.
vailed on the countenances of the elder
generation present, it was quite eviden,
that the singers had stirred fever in
the blood of age.'-Boston transcript.

RACHEL.-This celebrated actress
who is now exciting so much attention
in New York, is of Hebrew origin
Her parents were poor, and she was ear
ly thrown penniless on the world. At
ten or twelve years old she used to sing
at the French coffee houses for support.
Genius, powerful as is hers, will some
how find its object, and she soon found
her way to the stage, and has finally
risen to the highest pitch probably, in
the deliueation of the strong passions of
the human soul, yet attained. There is
an eloquence in such genius that makes
all the difference there is in the effects
produced by the speaking of different
public men. Rachel takes large au-
diencc, and makes them feel as she
would have them, even though most of
them cannot understand one word that
she is saying. Jenny Lind would do
the same. No man who ever beard
John B. Cough speak could impart to
us the exact secret of their deep feel
ing. 1t is just SO with all other elo-
quent things, whether in living or IMAM
innate nature. The Falls of Niagara
and the roll and roar of the mighty
ocean have over most men similar
mysterious power. The fact is, those
who worship Reason as their god, do not
address their devotions even to the
highest element or expression Of human
faith, for Sensation and Instinct are
both above it, as they are much more
delicate and refined. The person who
is so constructed or endowed, that he
can move and manage these higher ele-
ments of faith in others at his will, is
eloquent and we judge from all that we
can learn Of such, that the greatest won
der with them is, the case with which
they accomplish their object in affect
ing others. 1t is doubtless so with Ra-
chel. Having the power to command
herself in her deepest emotions in q de-
gree that her audience have not, sde
feels herself to be their superior in pow
cr, and sways the feelings of her audi
ence at her will. Demosthenes said,
that eloquence was Action 20 The
truth of the old Athcnian's definition is
now being we'll illustrated in New \ ork,
where crowds meet night after night,
and laugh, and weep, and throw their
souls into all manner of shapes, without
one word of the French
Language, but are thus affected solely
by the action " of the actress.

A MODEL LAW SUIr.--The advanta

case Of a school district in Cornish, N

cry of "a old broken box stove, worth
probably from so to rs cents. The
Court of Common Pleas, at Newport,
last week, gave verdict in favor of the
District, giving ST., 81 damages. The
verdict carries with it taxable cost,
amounting in all to more than five hun.

amount expended which. cannot be taxed

THE SINGING SCHooLs.-The Sing
ing School which is to be held, during
tho coming season, in the vestry of the
Seventh Day Baptist Church. Of this vii.
lage, will begin on Sunday evening next,
Sept. 3oth, att l-2 o'clock. The term
will continue not less than twenty weeks.
The School which is to be held at the
Vestry of the Congregational Church,
will commence on Monday evening
next, at halfpast seven o'clock. Six
or eight evenings at the commence
ment of each school, will be chiefly de-
voted to instructions from The Black
board, and such other exercises in tn e
fundamental principles of vocal music as
the teacher, Mr.. o. s. Spencer, may see
fit to introduce.
This will be a grand opportunity for
beginners and those but little advanced
in this delightful study, and the time OF
course, will not be spent in vain, by all
such as will attend, though they may
have made greater proficiency in the
art of singing.
We think those who have not yet
procured their tickets will do well to
obtain them and make an effort while SO
convenient an opportunity is held out to
