Following the current of lava to about a
mile and half from its source, we reached
a perpen iicular ledge of rock, over which it
poured in cataract of fire, some 80 or 40 feet
in depth and 80 or 100 feet in width, divided
in the centre by adark projecting rock, which
stood out in bold contrast with the red hot
stream. Large masses of lava, often Is or 20
feet in diameter, some still of white heat.

cooling, rolled slowly over, topping down,
as they reached the perpendicular descent,
not swiftly or suddenly, as heavy bodies over

part arrested by sinking somewhat in the
thick, liquid mass.
Beneath this marvellous cascade, the stream

AUCTION EXTRAORDINARY.

And as fast as dreamed it was coined into numbers
1t appeared that n law had lately been made,
That tax on old bachelors pates should be laid;
And in order to make them all willing to marry,
The tax was as heavy as man could well carry.
But the bachelors grumbled, and said twas no use
Twas monstrous injustice and horrid abuse,
And swore that to save their own hearts from bloot
spilling,
On such a vile tax they could ne'er pay shilling
But the rulers determined their seal 10 pursue,
So they set all the bachelors up at vendue. =.

And cried out aloud, as he held up a man,

COLUMBIAN COLLEGE, D. C.

We have recently been supplied with a
circular setting forth the condition, prospects
and advantages of this Institution. This
circular was handed to US by gentleman
calling himself the Rev. Mr.. HAmaIr. who
recently passed through our village, engaged
in collecting old bonds given to the College
by citizens Of the district.
The very name Of Columbian College has
become, from some causes offensive to the
people of our State. aud we confess to a
participation in the feeling, until within a
few days past But we are constrained to
say that Mr.. HIS statement with regard to
the Institution, and perusal of the circular
has very much changed our views, and as at
present advised, without desiring to dispar.
age the claims OF any other seminary, we
know of no College where we would sooner
send son whom we desired to put in pos.
session of manifold advantages, than to this
at Washington City. We know none of the
faculty, except DR.. BINSEY, the newly elect
ed President, and him very slightly; but if
their qualifications are equal to the advanta.
ges set forth in the circular, we fully en-
dorse the sentiment of Mr.. MONROE, Presi.
dent of the United States, that with these
peculiar advantages, this Institute n, if it re.
ceives hereafter the proper encouragement,
cannot fail to be emneutly useful 10 the ma
ton. Under this impression, trust that
such encouragement vii, not be withheld
from it."

Mr.. EDITOR: You will oblge many of your lady
readers (he old maids especially up in our section
if you will publish the following dream on the
Auction of Old Bachelors" which recently
found in IN old magazine. think that you have
few of that love-forsaken set in your midst who
should be put under the vender's hammer on the
sale day in next month. Some of them would be
bidden of quite eagerly, while there are others that
would be as hard to dispose Of as brass jewelry,-
in fact, they are not worth their weight in swamp
mud. However, it is not my purpose to give these
unfortunate, unhappy, miserable specimens Of hu-
manity newspaper castigation, but merely to give
a good hint to the citizens Of your Village how to
get rid of some Of its numerous pests.

place, and perhaps some Of US will come down.

Ere thou seekest wonted slumber,

Should the midnight ever find thee

Thankful gratitude in prayer!
When afflicted, pained and wounded
Yea, when sickness lays thee bare,

Breathe thy soul in earnest prayer!
Should'st thou ever he exposed
To the worlds delusive snare,
Or its willy arts perplex thee,

and wholly an act oftransgression, *brought

remarkable individual, and his name is in.
