residence of Ex-Governor Swain, OF North
Carolina, the President of that institution
He was welcomed on the sward in front of
the mansion, by its proprietor, and replied
very briefly. Secretary Thompson being
called for, also made a response. =.
In the afternoon, the President accompani-
ed by the officers of the college, repaired to
the chapel Of the College, where Rev. DIR.

form or shape Of misery. wish, with all
my heart. to repeat what has been best said,
what that speaker said. and to ask of you all
to take care of that fatal vice, which degrades
man to the level Of the brute, and brings
him into disgrace in the eyes of the whole
world
GA Thursday the graduating class were

A Curious Visitation of Insects.

We find in the London Illustrated Times,
the following account from a correspondent,
of a singular visitation of insects to a church
at Colchester:
did YOU observe in the papers o curious
paragraph informing the public thata church
in Colchester had been shut up because 1t
swarms with foul insects: When l saw
this paragraph, l thought it could not be
true, hut, on inquiry, | find it even So and
a very strange phenomenon it is. The
church in question is St. Peters, the prlncl-
pal church in the town, 1t has lately been
entirely reftted inside. and scarcely had the
congregation returned, when the plague tell
upon them. The wretclIed creatures which
have committed this atrocious sacrllege are,
! am told, as small as DUST numbered by
myraids and myraids-and are so lively that
fumigation by sulphur does not kill them;
nor will they die in a bottle Theoretically
sealed. Whence they come, is at present a
mystery. Some say from the new wood,
but that is hardly probable. Others aver
that they creep from an old vault, which
was broken into accidentally whilst the
church was under repair. For a time the
congregation hoped that the plague would
be stayed and held on but they were dlsap'
pointed, and at last they were Obliged tc
eyacuate and shut up the church
