HIHsUrE YoUrH.--The sophomore class, at Will
liams College, remarks the Philadelphia Sun, have
formally buried the razor and resolved TO let their
boards grow. When We were soph, we were
scraping our chin daily with pen-knife to coax
the bristles out Of their Aeshy cells. We think
the Williams College boys are more likely to use
Phalons Lotion TO make their boards grow, for
they will not in the course Of nature, need razors
for several years, unless they are all Of the tribe Of
Esau.

Another company Of Rangers lately ar
rived in our city'from the frontier. under
command of Capt. VIM. Tobin. This
company, and that under Capt. Tobin. arc
now discharged. They were mustered
into service only temporarily. and at pres
ent there seems 20 be no security on, the

is this: The execution OF our Rangers in
Mexico, has had the effect Of quieting the
frontier. Twelve hundred Mexican troops

have no fears, unless,tbey again offer high
prices to the Indians for horses and plum
