AT Hanover, some years ago, two or three
students of the University had one night set
on foot an expedition against the Presidents
fowls. They proceeded with all imaginable
caution ia the roost, and in the first nlace
seized upon chanticleer, whose neck they wrung
before he had time to cry murder Besides be-
ing large and fat they had another reason for
making sure of him, viz to avenge the oft
committed crime of waking them up too early
in the morning. They next seized upon one or
two fine pulets, and twisted their delicate necks
without any sign of remorse. They were pro-
ceedlng in their rapine, when the remaining
fowls, awaking from that sleep which had
proved 50 fatal to their companions, began to
cry, ''Kudaghkm kudaghkut kat km kud-
Hghm p The noise brought out the President,
who coming pat upon the foul assassins,
said,-
=" Upon my word, young gentleman, this is
fine business I've caught you in" Not so very
fine neither, thought the students it will turn
outa bad business before we get through with it.
And thereupon they began to apologize, and to
implore the clemency of the Prex but all in
vain. g must make an example of vou,''
said he strernly. " But shall say no more at
present. Call upon me tomorrow at one
clock
The students took their leave, and the Pres
ident took possession Of the slaughtered fowls.
All night the culprits could think of nothing
but their approaching doom; they dreamt of
rustleation. suspension and expulsion and
wished chanticleer, pullets and all, had been
farther off before they meddled with them.
They waited upon Prex according to his d.
rection, and were received with extraordinary
politeness. Not a word was mentioned of the
events of the night before. He conversed with
them for some time upon various topics and
they began to be impatient for the worst AT
last, rising with dignity, and leading the way,
young gentleman, said he, " walk into this
room. now, thought they, we shall have our
sentence. The door opened and discovered to
their vew-a table well set, and on it the very
fowls whose neck they had wrung the night
before. They were invited to take their seats
at the board, and bountifully helped to the
nice bits of chanticleer and the pullets This
thought they, is to bad -Confound the old
fellows politeness But the President urged
them to eat and finding them rather backward
in doing justice to his viands, repeated his
pressing invitation to hold and spare not. But
the students felt more like culprits with ropes
round their necks, than like young gentlemen,
dining with the President of College And
intact they were in less danger of choking than
the noosed culprit for the dinner, although
exceedingly well cooked had a strange tendency
to stick in their throats and they could not
help fancying all the while that they heard the
appalling sounds of-s' Kut, kut kat, kudaghkmi
haf, km, kudaghkut !" To make short the
story, they were dismissed without the slightest
allusion to the last nights adventure, and
thought themselves sufficiently punished for
their folly.

FREEMAN OF APRIL 22.-We hardly realize.
when reposing quietly " beneath our own vim,
and fg-tree the cost of that liberty that surroundr
our hearthstones with peace and plenty never
can we feel the peril and pain our fathers en-
dured in the struggle for the priceless boon.
A chapter of " Thrilling Incidents Of the
Revolutionary War;" in the Freeman of to-day,
suggests these thoughts, and awakens feelings
of gratitude to the great Dsposef of events,
and reverence for the memory of those indomit-
able spirits who faltered not in the midst of
suffering the bare rehearsal of which, almost
curdles the blood in our veins.
Yet are those suferings paralleled even in
our day, and in our land. Month after month,
and year by year, strong bold men, and tender
women, and feeble Children, 60 forth to danger,
and to death, in search of that liberty whose
prospect nerved our sires of old but which
alas cannot be the inheritance of our own

The Wonders of Light.

Prick a hole in a card with pin, and then
look through it. Through that small hole
complete landscape may by viewed. AT one
extremity of the landscape there may be for
est of trees in the distance there may be hills
bathed in golden light, and overhung with
glittering clouds, in the mid-distance there may
be river winding its course along as though
it loved the earth through which it ran, and
wished, by wandering to and fro, to refresh the
thirsty soil ; in the foreground may be achurch
covered by million ivy-leaves and grouping
towards the sacred cdifce may be hundreds of
intending worshipers, old and young, rich
and dpoor FLOWERS may adorn the pathways,
and butterflies spranglc the air with their
beauties; yet every one of these objects-the
forests, the clouds, the river, the church, the
people, the flowers, the butterhes-must have
sent rays of light which found their way
through the little hole in the card, and entered
to paint the picture upon the curtain of the
eye.
This is one of the most striking instances
that can be afforded of the wonderful proper
ties of light, and of the infnitude of those lu-
mnous rays that attend the majestic rising of
the sun. Not only does light fly from the grand
g ruler of the day with velocity which is a
million and a half times greater than the speed
of a cannon ball, but it darts from every re-
fecting surface, with like velocity, and reaches
the tender structure of the eye SO gently, that,
as it falls upon the little curtain of nerves
which is there spead to receive it, it imparts
the most pleasing sensations, and tells its story
of the outer world with minuteness of detail
and a holiness of truth. Philosophers once
sought to Weigh the sunbeamS they construct
ed most delicate balance, and suddenly let in
upon it beam of light the lever of the bal
ance was 50 delicately hung that the huttering
of fly would have disturbed it. All prepared
the grave men took their places, and with keen
eyes watched the result. The sunbeam that
was to decide the experiment had left the sun
eight minutes prior to pass the ordeal. 1t had
flown through 95,000,O00 miles in that short
measure of time, and it shot upon the balance
with unabated velocity; but the lever moved
not, and the philosophers We're mute.--1Ae

City Charter Election.

The election in this city on Tuesday
last was conducted with considerable
spirit. Although the contest generally
assumed much of party character,
still some of the candidates labored fol-
themselves with industry, irrespective
of party considerations, or any interest
beyond their own. Especially did the
Independent candidates, push their per-
sonal claims vigorously. Tickets were
printed and circulated in every con-
ceivable shape so as to conform to every
possible wish of the electors. Over
$4,000 tickets in different shapes, were
ordered and printed at this Office; this
would accommodate every voter in the
city with between thirty 81 forty tickets
each. In addition to this, a large num-
Der of tickets, were probably printed at
the other office in this city.
In respect to the political aspect of
the contest, it may be proper to make
statements for the information Of those
residing out Of the city. A mass meet
ing, entitled a Peoples Convention, was
held on Thursday evening of last week,
at which a general city ticket was NOM
mated. This convention did not pro-
fess to be of partisan character. On
Saturday evening last, Democratic
convention was held, at which full
democratic ticket was nominated for
city officers. Although the Peoples
Convention before mentioned, was large
" attended by democrats, yet they
mostly failed to adhere to the nomina-
tons made. The general ticket for city
oticers elected, politically classified
stands thus;-Republicans five, Dem
ocrats three.
The new Board of Aldoren elected,
will be composed of good men, many Of
them are men Of excellent business char
acter Indeed it may be safely said,
no better Board Of Aldermen has been
elected since our city organization. Pol
icaly the new Board Of Aldermen will
stand, Republicans, nine, Democrats,
three.
Thenew Board of School Commi ssion-
ers, will also be composed of reliable
uiintelligent men. A political clasif-
cation ofthis Board, would stand as fol-
lows Republican Z; Democratic l.
We think it must be conceded
that in view of a distinct democratic,
ticket having been been put into the
field, the republicans have done nobly.
Taken as a whole, the result must be
highly satisfactory to the friends ofgood
order and judieious city government.
The defeat of the Peoples candidate
for Mayor, was doubtless accomplished
by trading and swapping, among some
OF the over anxious candidates in the
field.
