ENTERTAINMENT AT NEw WISDsoR.--A cor
respondent sends US the following AN ele-
CANT entertainment took place on Wednesday
evening at New Windsor College, consisting
of speeches, essays, recitations and tableaux,
interspersed with music on the piano, flute
and clarionet, which was kindly furnished by
Mr.. Dielman, Mrs. Kleefsch and daughter
The house was crowded 10 excess The young
ladies and gentlemen acquitted themselves
admirably in their respective performances.
Not too much praise can be given to the in
detatigable President and his able assistants,
for getting up the entertainment During
the period the College had been closed, the
people began to realize the want of a good
Institution, and the occasional refined enter.
tainments connected were very much missed
here, and now as the Institution is beginning
to revive again from its recent slumber, its
reopening for the education and moral train
ing Of our children is more appreciated than
ever, the want of II having been fully realized
by our community.

BOYS, IT IS DASGERoUs.-0n several oeea.
sions whilst at the depot in this city, we have
noticed boys jumping ON and off the trains
whilst approaching or leaving the platform.
This Is very dangerous practice, and fire.
quently broken limb or even death is the
result. On Tuesday evening last, as the
late train was leaving our depot, boy by
the name of Griskle, who had gotten on
whilst the train was not in motion, attempted
to jump off, when he slipped in making the
spring. He was dragged some distance by
the steps Of the cars, to which he caught in
falling. Fortunately he fell from the rear
car. Had it been one of the front cars, he
could not have escaped most horrible death
Take warning, boys, and do not jump on or
off the cars when in motion.
