EXCITING INCIDENT.--The following

EXCITING INCEDENr.--Thc following
item is from Il late English journal:
A few evenings ago as the play of Jes-
sic We're was being performed at Wool
vich theatre, and when a scene in the
third act had been reached, in which Il
"terriic struggle" for the possession Of
child takes place between the fond moth
er and two "hired rufIians," a large
Newfoundland dog, which had by some
means gained admittanee with its owner
into the pit, leaped over the heads of the
musicians in the orchestra and flew to
the rescue, Selling one Of the assassins
and almost dragging him to the ground.
It was with much difficulty he was re-
moved and dragged off the stage. The
dog, which is the property of the chief
engineer of Her Majesty's ship Buffalo,
has been habitually accustomed to the
society of children, for whom he has on
many occasions eyinced strong proof of
affection,

1t is an entire mistake that the sick
ness at the University of Virginia, par
takes in any of its symptoms of the nature
of the disease at the National Hotel in
Washington, a year ago. The epidemic
at the University is typhoid fever, clear
and unmistakeablo. This disease, as an
epidemic is not uncommon in the most
salubriouslocalities.
If the sickness abates, and exercises
are resumed this session the Annual Com
menccment will take place on the Goth
of July. Heretofore it has been on the

INDUCED pretty freely in milk with

he stumbled headlong into the lap Of a

the rescne ola British lady, travelling in
Arabia, from a great peril, by an Arab

WoRpswoRru's SOLITARY W1TTItIsM.
---One evening at Talfourd's the CONVEX
sation turned upon wit. Moore, Sydney
Smith, Barbam, and many eminent men
we're there. Wordsworth the great poet,
said
Il don't think I ever was witty but
ence in my lfe.'
This, Of course, induced all to beg he
would relate his solitary witticisyn.
Some time ago, continued Words
worth, 'as was standing at my gate at
Rydal Mount, man came up to me,
and asked If I had seen his vito pass
that way? Whereupon / said--Why,
my good mar, this is the first time have
heard that you ever had a wife, when
Wordsworth stopped. All roared with
laughter at the absurdity, and the old
poet, to his dying day, considered the
nerriment his obtuseness occasicncd. as 2
tribute to his wit.
