ST. VINCENT's COLLEGE is well
worth visit, if only for the sake of

A man, whose term of imprson-
ment had expired, was turned out of
Jail this week. He begged hard to re-
main, and offered to pay rent for his
cell. He said he was an anchOrite, AMI
intended to anchor right where he was.
His tears and entreaties were fruitless,
and the pitiles locks We're opened to
let him loose. He started down street
.Ad struck a noisy crowd near the
POst-Office, succeeded in constructing
some irregular proboscidian cubes and
variegated oval elipses on the frontal
bones of the disputants; injured the
anterior lens of a bystanders eye, and
cured a third of opthalmia by gouging
out the entire organ of vision. He
was carried back to Clancy's hotel i'm
triumph, returned to his old quarters,
and wants to find the man who dare
dispute his right, as an American citi-
zen, to live where he likes.
